The solution is for conservatives to become actively involved at the local and state levels. Join, get appointed, get elected. It’s what the left does, and it’s why they’re winning.
Neither Trump nor Cruz nor anybody else in DC will fix it for us, it’s our responsibility. But all we do is sit around and b!tch.
We need to understand that we are being controlled by committees and nonprofits which operate in the shadows, formulating agendas that are then imposed upon the rest of us, entirely outside of the law.
Often, these committees have no oversight by state legislators, yet the committees serve as springboards to powerful state elective offices, which are STILL below the radar of the average citizen.
The career of Oregon’s Brad Avakian—harasser of the Christian cake bakers—is an excellent example.
Recently I attended a talk by a state senator. The question of school textbooks was raised. Specifically, the Common Core and the LGBT-agenda in sex education.
The senator stated he didn’t know anything about any of that, and he was “glad” he didn’t have any interaction with the textbook committees, because “the issue is so contentious.”
Duly noted, and unacceptable. And it ticked me off enough to get me involved in making phone calls, writing letters, and shining a light on what’s going on behind the scenes.
State legislators who are unwilling to fight for sanity in our schools are unworthy of our vote. We need to hold their feet to the fire, make them do right, or unseat them.
States rights—that’s the ticket. DC isn’t going to give us back our rights. We need to take our rights. Think nationally but act locally.
Nicely done!
Oddly enough, there’s very little that dead people ‘create’.
