The reality is that there is no magic bullet. Writing to the very people that are the root of the problem is a total waste of time. They do not listen. We have to accept that. Write if it makes you (anyone) feel good. But thats all it will do.
Anyone think McCain/Bhoner et all care?
I thought not. So don’t waste your effort.
Instead, learn what people/potential candidates really stand for and help them in whatever way you can. Work to get them elected. IGNORE the screaming about evil purists, evil principles and evil third parties.
STAND on toyr principles. STAND on whatever you believe in. And DO NOT let some GOP ass smooching sycophant dissuade you from what you know is right.
On your other post yesterday, you detailed your service. You did not serve to wreck america. Why allow pols to waste the part of your life you gave America? Why let them continue to make your sacrifice a moot point?
And that goes for us all. If you WANT something, then damnit go and make it the hell happen. FR is filled with smart people. You already KNOW what to do. You all, WE all just have to let go of the fear and do it.
The founders did it with their lives to lose. All we gotta do is vote right. And ‘be’ right. Not a compromising Dem lite with an R attached.
To clarify (no not an Obama clarify ;)
When the apecial interest groups set out to get their respective poop pooped, they do not write sternly worded letters to the Dems, the GOP or the Un.
YOU and I and all Freepdom are a special interest now. We are people without a party and with a cause. Just like the JKLMNOP street spec/in groups. PERIOD.
We get nothing because A: they have no fear of us because...
B; we are disorganized and they damn well intend to keep us that way.
So to WIN!!! you get organized. This ain’t rovket surgery folks. We have 8000 groups all fighting for their pie. We need one uniting banner they can all get behind. One principle. Just as TEA did. Just as every spec/in does.
That is a return to constitutional governance WITHOUT GOP flacks running the show. OUR show.
TEA took on the GOP people to run many of them and the ones that did now sit at the GOP table. Or their paid managers do. They get squat, but they ‘feel’ important.
Step one, get people to agree what they do and do not believe. Then go from there. That’s the core. Because we cannot rely on psuedocons who will at the first sine of heat, run back to mama GOP crying.
