LTC Devore,
First of all, I want to thank you for your service!
I am not a citizen of California, but would like to ask nevertheless (perhaps as a means of setting a baseline for what other GOP candidates across the country *should* be doing?)...
What five *specific* things - operational, tactical, legislative, whatever - do you think are most important for the GOP to do to turn back the tide of socialism that seems to be sweeping this country?
1) Ensure Republican candidates grounded in the Foundational principles win nomination.
2) State a clear plan of action to counter the Obama agenda.
3) Win in November.
4) Implement the plan of action — force conflict with the President. Show the American people the compelling rationale for more liberty and less government.
5) Stay on message, stay positive, and take back the White House in 2012 — then repeat for the 20 years it will take to turn things around.
