Allen West is dynamite just waiting to blow his opposition off the map. He, and others like him, in races, for instance, if a good Conservative challenges nowon mxxain, then we attack and attack hard. I don’t know why there are some on this thread that are not calculating what we can do when we MAKE UP OUR MINDS to DO IT!!!
Being timid and going with the flow is not where it’s at anymore.
PLEASE take a few minutes to write a letter. This will not work if we don’t follow through. And follow through with action on other fronts as well.
WE matter. Our MONEY matters. If it is the only language the hacks understand, then they ALSO understand what the LACK of money and support will do.
That is the whole point of this project. But we have to get their attention. If every letter we send tells them that it could just as easily have been a $25, $50, or $100 donation in it, they WILL get the message
The House is the perfect example of bottom up politics. I don't live in Florida so I cannot affect that race except to donate money.
My point being that out of district people sending letters, e-mails or calling with voting threats are entirely meaningless and never get past the round file.
This is why the efforts directed at the voters are more effective, like phone banks, blogs and other communications. This was Bob J's point which I agreed with.
I'm not trying to let all the air out of someones bag, but this top down stuff has never worked. You have be a district member to get what little attention they may give and that ain't much. Letter directed to the RNC might be more effective. Not donating is quite a message and they have received it.
