The fact is that they are not feared and are not having an effect.

Existing organizations such as Heritage and Cato are not small at all, but are no longer having the impact that is needed. Something new and more out of the grass roots is needed right now.

We will not be heeded until those that now marginalize us are afraid to do for fear that in their next election we will rund someone against them in both parties and that even if they survive it will be at great cost.

I’ve been there and know how it works.

I think that the key is getting the other conservative groups to toe the line of resurgent conservativism along with us, rather than making it a pissing contest to see who can bring their own candidate to the dance. Our one goal should be keeping our eye upon what is best for America... period.

Cato and Heritage aren't weak, but they've reached their market saturation points because they market to conservatives rather than to the self-styled "moderates". Conservatives are going to remain conservative; to actually grow a movement we have to brand it into something that appeals to everyone without compromising our principles. Therein lies the crux... to get an unthinking majority to once again use its mind.

Yep, I agree, Heritage and Cato are marginalized.

I had mentioned Move America Forward because they are a grass roots organization.

And I reiterate, if no one else jumps to the head of the line, than FR PAC is the way to go.

And II, we need FReepers as yourself, with experience, to not let whichever organization takes the lead to become marginalized. Being in the D.C. area, I’ll help where I can.

There is a new thread about Support of the Fairness Doctrine Builds.

We should be organizing now, getting a message to use when calling, faxing or visiting our representatives. There is a petition, but more needs to be done. We can't wait till two days before the vote when most congressman and senators have already been promised a quid pro quo pork.
