screaminsunshine,

You said, “And look at the difference it made.”

What, pray tell, are you referring to? What is the “it?”

If you are referring to the hundreds of thousands of Americans who DID NOT get involved in the political process, you’re correct — that inaction did not make a difference.

If you are referring to the millions of Americans who thought they were “doing something political” by going to a Tea Party rally, and that’s all they did, you’re right, that did not make a difference.

If you’re referring to those who come to political “activism” boards like this and make comments, and nothing more, you’re right, that did not make a difference.

Please tell us what YOU have done to make a difference.

Please tell us if you have a better strategy, and what it is.

Here are some questions that you and other “keyboard activists” might want to ask yourself:

Do you know the name of your precinct?

Its geographical boundaries?

The number of registered Republicans, Democrats and other voters in it?

Do you know any other conservative Republicans in your precinct?

Do you know how many Republican precinct committeemen exist in your precinct?

Do you know where your local Republican committee meets? And when?

Have you ever gone door-to-door in your precinct with a voter registration walking sheet to help get out the vote in a primary election?

Have you ever been to a meeting of your local Republican Party committee?

Have you ever spoken to either of your two state representatives or your state senator?

Please tell us what you have done to make a difference.

For example, other than preaching to the conservative choir, can you tell us, for example, whether you’ve recruited any Americans to actually get involved in party politics as precinct committeemen?

Can you tell us, for example, how many conservatives you’ve signed up as new Republican Party voters?

Can you tell us whether you are a precinct committeeman?

If you have a better strategy, I’m all ears.

And, if the “it” you referring to was coming to a discussion and not offering any constructive comments about what we ought to DO to change things, I agree, that does not make a difference.

So, do you have a better strategy? If so, could you please tell us what it is, how you think we should implement it, how it’s worked in the past, etc.?

P.S. I have done all of the above. If just ten per cent of the “sunshine patriots” who spend all their time preaching online to the conservative choir would, instead, actually get involved in Party politics as precinct committeemen, as I advocate (and have done), we would, together, take over the Republican Party and then be in a position to actually elect better people in the all-important, traditionally-very-low-turnout primary elections, who would then go on to win in the general election.

I can’t guarantee that The Neighborhood Precinct Committeeman Strategy will cause us to save our country as we once knew it, but I can guarantee this: if we DON’T get involved in Party politics as never before, we WILL lose our country as we once knew it.

So, screaminsunshine, I await your responses.

Taking a break for Christmas.

See y’all next week.

Bookmarking to pick up again after Christmas.

I went to the first big Tea Party protest at Cathy ‘the commie’ Castors town hall in Tampa and took it to em. We were on National News and got the ball rolling.

I personally got 7 votes to swith to Republican from Crat also. I had some yard signs and donated some money too. Also wrote some letters to the papers and my Congresscommies. That was all I could do for now because of work.

ACW, don't know if you saw my post (251 on this thread) but you did an excellent job of pointing to the greatest weakness of conservatism - too much talk, too little real action where - and HOW it would count most.

The greatest weakness is ignorance of the political process passed on to us by our forefathers. We have to OWN that process - but, we don't even come close - yet...

We have a lot of people that are as green as gourds - but very much want to be a part of this RINO-killing project.

So we're going to find ways to train those who 'sign up' to get out there and do the things that you, I, and many others here have done successfully. I think we can and will be quite successful - simply because a great many people have finally woke up - and WANT TO DO SOMETHING!

Soon we can all say HELLO to the greatest RINO-killing movement ever put together.
