I don't really know right now, a diarist area might do good, maybe a series of what's going on diaries. For instance, the taxes that are being hidden in bills, the earmarks, the socialism, and of course the war. Strategic thinking is where it starts, a shift away from the current react to events only. Not saying that the react thing should be discontinued, just added to.

Reaction always involves following not leading, we should try to capitalize on the AMNESTY capital we acquired, and try our hand at leading instead of following. Newt is crafting a new contract with America, maybe we could help with the drafting. A series of diaries on it would be informative.

I guess I see good areas in what Ruffini says, we should think hard about how to make our actions more effective. There are a lot of really good thinkers on the FR, we should try and figure out how to use them better.

This comment really hit home ...

What a waste. Imagine how the history of the rightroots could have been different if Free Republic wasn’t still stuck in 1996?

Maybe we should ask Ruffini what he would suggest. Soliciting outside input could be good. All things need rejuvenating, it is not a bad thing. A lot depends on what Jim wants to do.

I like these ideas very much.
