The principle thrust of the effort is to get citizens to sign up who support these principles...and then support candidates who do likewise.

I believe we will elect candidates who support these principles as we build enough citizens in each district who do likewise.

I believe the people who are singing up in each district are the key to that...to educating and attracting more within their own spheres of influence.

So, in answer to your question, Do I believe that we will elect these candidates simply because they take the oath? The answer is no. We will elect them because we build a large enough voting block behind them who also support those principles.

That is the entire thrust of the effort, to get the citizens themselves focused on these principles first and foremost in their voting...and what the mission statement indicates from the get go.

Well, you responded so I ‘m still on the thread.

Jeff, let me explain it as how I see what you’re doing. You’re rounding up and organizing the most conservative voters (and based on your “guiding principles” we’re talking the most ardent, hardcore conservatives...so conservative in their beliefs you make them take an oath to support each and every point in your platform) and your convincing them...TO VOTE FOR THE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE.

Seriously, am I missing something here? These are people that would I would bet a lot of money on them voting for you’re preferred candidate anyway...without you’re guidance!
How have you made a differnce in the outcomes?

Jeff, when you come up with a plan that gets normally swing voters or even dem voters to take a look at and vote for your candidates, causing not only a change in the entire election dynamic but possibly swinging the outcome from defeat to victory, then you got me as a supporter and member.

Now maybe there is something in your plan I am missing and if you can point it out I’m ready to listen. But until then, to me, this is just another conservative feel good effort that is full of flowery rhetoric and good intentions but doesn’t move the ball down the field. At worst it may sap time, money and effort from other ventures that have a much greater ability to produce meaningful change.

Efforts to educate citizens and influence voters that normally wouldn’t vote for candidates who support your principles will go much farther in achieving a conservative ascendancy in America than banding together a bunch of people whose opinions and sensibilities are pretty much already set in stone.
