There’s still plenty of time. The herd is being culled, Mitch Daniels and Pawlenty are gone, with more to follow very soon. Save your ammo for maximum effect and get involved in the ground work now. We need grunts and NCO’s.
Time for all of us to show the same courage and conviction she’s shown through the continued vile onslaught against her and her family.
Don’t know about anyone else but my p*$$-off meter pegged three years ago and I’m just itching like a starving wolf on a chain, but there’s time enough.
Keep this schedule in mind.

More information on the 2012 Republican Primary schedule and the changes which will happen to the 2012 schedule:
KANSAS CITY, MO. ? The Republican National Committee adopted a new schedule for the 2012 presidential primaries Friday, agreeing to a plan worked out in concert with Democrats and designed to delay the start of the campaign season.
The proposal, drafted by a special RNC panel, gained approval from more than the necessary two-thirds of the committee’s 168 members.
Party leaders hailed the vote as a historic change in the presidential selection process, one that would avoid the development of a single national primary in which states choose to hold their nominating contests on the same day.
The new schedule is designed to make it difficult for a candidate to rack up an insurmountable number of delegates early in the process, forcing candidates to campaign across the country.
Under the new schedule, no state would hold a primary or caucus before the first Tuesday in February 2012, in attempt to avoid a repetition of 2008, when the Iowa caucuses were held Jan. 3.
Iowa and New Hampshire would retain their status as the nation’s first contests, held in February, joined by South Carolina and Nevada.
Other contests would generally be held in April or later, although states would have the option of holding votes in March, provided convention delegates chosen at those elections were awarded to candidates in proportion to the percentage of the vote they received, rather than in a winner-take-all system.
Time for all of us to show the same courage and conviction she’s shown through the continued vile onslaught against her and her family.
I'm with you.
I've been a bit inactive in local Tea Party activities since moving my family in February, but we're pretty settled in now, and with the timing being what it is, it looks like it's time for me to roll up my sleeves again. I think I'll contact the local O4P office and sign up.
As to the 2012 Primary Schedule, you're showing Iowa and New Hampshire holding their votes in mid January, while the blurb below says that the RNC and DNC have agreed to move the starting date back to early February. That's a bit confusing. Any help on that?
