BURNIN' DOWN THE TENT!!!
We have all been frustrated and angry at the way we have been treated by the political elite in this country. They have ignored us, belittled us, overlooked us, and singled us Conservatives out for their special brand of contempt.
It is bad enough when liberals and Democrats do it, but the betrayal of our Constitution and of our whole system of Conservative values and morals at the hands of the party we built and supported for lo these many years has been the ultmate blow to Conservatives both those of us here at Free Republic, and to Conservatives in the grassroots across our country.
THEY HAVE TAKEN US FOR GRANTED!!!
The RNC and the Republican Party have helped the liberal vampires in this country to sink their fangs into the very heart of our nation, and have joined in the cause of the slow bleeding and painful death of everything that made America the freest, greatest land on earth.
They have become the enemy within.
HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH???
ARE YOU MAD AS HELL???How about it, Free Republic?
When was the last time you didn't go to bed and wake up angry?
When was the last time you yelled out loud at the television?
A minute ago? An hour ago?When was the last time you saw a RINO on television betraying you to your face? Today? Yesterday? Five minutes ago?
When was the last time you went to work, IF you still have a job, and managed to stay in good spirits for more than five minutes as you have been faced with the consequences of liberal policies that RINOs helped put in place?
Affirmative action hires that don't work so you have to work harder, but you can't say anything.
You can't DO anything or you risk losing everything.
You hear them in your offices, in your assembly lines, and in your rest areas snickering at you, calling you names, and making fun of you behind your back because you believe in something. Because you value life, liberty, equality, morals, ethics, family, and GOD.
Because you support our brave Warriors,including Law Enforcement Officers who put their lives on the line every damn day for them and us.
Because you honor those brave men and women who fight today and have fought in the past for our freedom while they openly disdain them almost as if they are deliberately trying to pick a fight with you personally.
Don't they just LOVE pushing your buttons?
They know EXACTLY where to stick the knife, but all you can do is endure the pain in relative silence because there is nobody to watch your back.
You know the RINOs who sold us out are to blame for ALL of it.
Without the RINOs, what you see happening today would have been impossible.
ARE YOU TIRED OF IT???
ARE YOU SICK TO DEATH OF HEARING THAT THE PARTY YOU ONCE TRUSTED TO UPHOLD CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES IS A BIG TENT THAT ADMITS ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN NOTHING IF THEY DECIDE TO WEAR AN R AFTER THEIR NAME???
ARE YOU WILLING TO PUT YOUR MONEY AND A FRACTION OF YOUR TIME TOWARDS ENDING THIS CYCLE OF MADNESS???
TELL THEM ABOUT IT!!! Take five minutes, ten minutes, an hour of your time, grab a pen and a piece of paper and write it down and SEND IT!
Type a letter and print it out and SEND IT!Not an email. Not a fax. Not a phone call. We already know they will ignore them.
We want to flood their headquarters with letters they can't ignore, as many letters as is humanly possible. Write a letter, make ten copies, sign your name, buy some stamps and send them!
Have your friends and family send as many letters as they can.
TELL THEM ABOUT IT.
No more contributions to the RNC, not one cent, if they insist on supporting RINOs who don't adhere to core Conservative principles and values.
Tell them in your own words that you will support individual candidates of YOUR choosing on their own merits, and not the party hacks they want to jam down our throats like Dede Scozzafava and Arlen Specter.
ARE YOU TIRED OF BEING SCREWED???
TELL THEM ABOUT IT!!!We don't need bullhorns to get their attention! The value of ONE handwritten letter with words inscribed from the heart, is worth more than ten voices screaming at the top of their lungs. Nobody writes letters anymore.
Voicemail can be erased or never listened to. Emails get lost in the system and many are not taken seriously because anybody with a gripe can send an email. It's just that easy, and it makes it that much easier to ignore.
MAKE THEM FEAR US!!!
MAKE THEM THINK TWICE AND THINK AGAIN BEFORE THEY TRY TO PUT A RINO OVER ON US!!!Let them know you are serious. Tell them why they have reason to fear us. They won't if one or two letters trickle in. We need thousands.
They might receive contributions from the party elite, but those people have only ONE VOTE, no matter how much money they contribute.
We have millions.
TELL THEM ABOUT IT!!! If they send you one of their stupid plastic cards, don't just send it back in their prepaid envelopes anymore. Enclose it whole with a personal letter using your own envelope, your own stamp, and SEND IT!!!
GOT IT???
DO IT!!!
DO IT TODAY OR TOMORROW, BUT DO IT!!!This is a Jim Robinson endorsed initiative as it appeared on THIS THREAD, suggested to Jim on THIS POST endorsed on THIS REPLY.
Permission to use Free Republic as the sponsor was asked on THIS POST, and permission was granted on THIS REPLY FROM JIM.The committee that put this initiative together is DJ MacWoW, who came up with this ingenius idea, with contributions from ~Kim4VRWC's~, hiredhand, bcsco, and MestaMachine.
We have all worked hard to light this fire. Help us turn it into the bonfire that burns their tent down!So there you have it. If you are at the end of your rope and think there is nothing left to do, for all of our sakes, TRY THIS. IT WON'T HURT A BIT!!!
AND IT JUST MIGHT SHAKE THE RNC TREE. AT THE VERY LEAST, IT WILL GET THEIR ATTENTION.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE!!!
First off, I hang up on a phone bank call. I have nothing to say to them, it is meaningless. They are only on the other end to push the GOP agenda that is not my life.
Blogs? Yeah...go post over on DU or even the comments section of the news. MAYBE you'll get allowed through the censorship monitors.
Other communications? I just tossed the party mail in the trash this morning.
It is obvious you don't understand I don't want to here from them! They are not listening to me!!! The one way flow of information has to end.
Snark, snark. Check your GOP history. Ross Perot isn’t in it.
I just don't think this so called RINO hunt will net you any positive results. They tried that in my state and we ended up with a 100% democrat representation. Not a single repub or conservative. Not one.
These RINO's as you call them, are running in democrat or faux republican districts. They run as repubs to get on the ballot and for no other reason. You get rid of them, and most will be replaced with democrats as they have time after time.
The polls indicate the country is turning. These so called Rinos may well find different competition in the 2010 midterms. You don't need to write them letters, you simply need to encourage the competition for their seats. If you don't trust the RNC to support this competition, which they may well not, you donate to them directly.
If you can't find anyone to run against the RINO, then the RINO is marginally better then a democrat for numbers and control sake.
I hope this helps you understand my point.
I’ll go check thr link out now.
Can we ever!!! LET’S ROLL!!!
Somebody asked that earlier on the thread, but I am not sure how to do it myself.
As I read you post about repeating GOP history with the Whigs and all that, I thought maybe the more modern history would be a better guide for today's politics.
Fine. You disagree with the activism. Then stop trying to be a stumbling block for others. Your attitude is what will lose the war.
then the RINO is marginally better then a democrat for numbers and control sake.
This is a lie as the Rino will vote with the Dems. Your "logic" is faulty.
I understand perfectly, but you are beating around the bush! I am trying to draw you out so that you say what you mean, but to no avail.
Just say it......
And just how long would it take for my LOCAL School Board Conservative to move on up to Congressman or Senator at the pace politics as usual goes? 10 years? 20?
You willing to wait that long?
My post does not speak of a third party. My post directs us to not look at modern history, but at old history and learn from it.
JUST SAY IT!!!
You willing to wait that long?
You're right, Mesta. The Republic doesn't HAVE that long. These people are foolish and lack logic.
No you don't. If you did then you would not be in the GOP denial phase. I have stated very clearly what I am about. It is you who are in denial of the what is happening to your precious GOP. You just don't like the choice I have made.
"...After working to bring together not only the Free Soilers and Whigs, but also the Temperance party,..." and "...The committee drew up a thirteen-plank platform, ten of which concerned slavery. The platform condemned slavery and called for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law. It adopted the name "Republican," nominated the first state Republican ticket, and called for economic reforms. After the platform was adopted, the Free Soil Party announced the dissolution of their party and pledged their loyalty to the new Republican Party....
Following the founding of the Republican Party in Jackson on July 6, the party swept the state elections the following November. ..."
It can be done but I don’t know how to do it.
I’ve been busy with this all day, would you mind spelling it out for me. What DO we learn from it. (plus I have a major headache that won’t go away)
The silent majority has been awakened. They are conservative in nature. We can bring them together to overturn the party elite. 2010 is the call, but it will take until 2012 to fully overturn them. WE can do this, the current leaders cannot stay in authority. It is not their party, it is our party.
They don't always vote the way you want them to, but when you see that, it means that their voters do not think like you do and the politician is a representative first, and party second. They are all like that and you would be too.
I'm not defending this. I am advocating their replacement if possible.
What you don't seem to care about is the fact that if you don't do it right, you get a democrat every time. You have to work the people, not the politician.
That is where the efforts are needed. But I repeat myself and I hate that.
I'll leave you with this...Populism is out of control democracy! The United States was founded as a Republic with a republican form of government. We try to elect the best representation we can and this process has been damaged by the left. They have gradually turned it into a European style pig sty democracy where voters vote for their immediate gratification and their hip pockets and not the bigger picture.
That's where the problems are. The politicians are just a symptom of the disease and you will never get rid of the symptoms without treating the people who put them there.
That is what Reagan accomplished. He was able to gather the people together and teach them what was important.
But if you don't play the game, then there is but one option and some are not saying what they are really thinking, which is why the conversation is disjointed.
Rather than going back to the Republican party roots for answers, you have to go back to George Washington and the revolution. That was the quintessential top down political change and it worked.
