BURNIN' DOWN THE TENT!!!
We have all been frustrated and angry at the way we have been treated by the political elite in this country. They have ignored us, belittled us, overlooked us, and singled us Conservatives out for their special brand of contempt.
It is bad enough when liberals and Democrats do it, but the betrayal of our Constitution and of our whole system of Conservative values and morals at the hands of the party we built and supported for lo these many years has been the ultmate blow to Conservatives both those of us here at Free Republic, and to Conservatives in the grassroots across our country.
THEY HAVE TAKEN US FOR GRANTED!!!
The RNC and the Republican Party have helped the liberal vampires in this country to sink their fangs into the very heart of our nation, and have joined in the cause of the slow bleeding and painful death of everything that made America the freest, greatest land on earth.
They have become the enemy within.
HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH???
ARE YOU MAD AS HELL???How about it, Free Republic?
When was the last time you didn't go to bed and wake up angry?
When was the last time you yelled out loud at the television?
A minute ago? An hour ago?When was the last time you saw a RINO on television betraying you to your face? Today? Yesterday? Five minutes ago?
When was the last time you went to work, IF you still have a job, and managed to stay in good spirits for more than five minutes as you have been faced with the consequences of liberal policies that RINOs helped put in place?
Affirmative action hires that don't work so you have to work harder, but you can't say anything.
You can't DO anything or you risk losing everything.
You hear them in your offices, in your assembly lines, and in your rest areas snickering at you, calling you names, and making fun of you behind your back because you believe in something. Because you value life, liberty, equality, morals, ethics, family, and GOD.
Because you support our brave Warriors,including Law Enforcement Officers who put their lives on the line every damn day for them and us.
Because you honor those brave men and women who fight today and have fought in the past for our freedom while they openly disdain them almost as if they are deliberately trying to pick a fight with you personally.
Don't they just LOVE pushing your buttons?
They know EXACTLY where to stick the knife, but all you can do is endure the pain in relative silence because there is nobody to watch your back.
You know the RINOs who sold us out are to blame for ALL of it.
Without the RINOs, what you see happening today would have been impossible.
ARE YOU TIRED OF IT???
ARE YOU SICK TO DEATH OF HEARING THAT THE PARTY YOU ONCE TRUSTED TO UPHOLD CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES IS A BIG TENT THAT ADMITS ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN NOTHING IF THEY DECIDE TO WEAR AN R AFTER THEIR NAME???
ARE YOU WILLING TO PUT YOUR MONEY AND A FRACTION OF YOUR TIME TOWARDS ENDING THIS CYCLE OF MADNESS???
TELL THEM ABOUT IT!!! Take five minutes, ten minutes, an hour of your time, grab a pen and a piece of paper and write it down and SEND IT!
Type a letter and print it out and SEND IT!Not an email. Not a fax. Not a phone call. We already know they will ignore them.
We want to flood their headquarters with letters they can't ignore, as many letters as is humanly possible. Write a letter, make ten copies, sign your name, buy some stamps and send them!
Have your friends and family send as many letters as they can.
TELL THEM ABOUT IT.
No more contributions to the RNC, not one cent, if they insist on supporting RINOs who don't adhere to core Conservative principles and values.
Tell them in your own words that you will support individual candidates of YOUR choosing on their own merits, and not the party hacks they want to jam down our throats like Dede Scozzafava and Arlen Specter.
ARE YOU TIRED OF BEING SCREWED???
TELL THEM ABOUT IT!!!We don't need bullhorns to get their attention! The value of ONE handwritten letter with words inscribed from the heart, is worth more than ten voices screaming at the top of their lungs. Nobody writes letters anymore.
Voicemail can be erased or never listened to. Emails get lost in the system and many are not taken seriously because anybody with a gripe can send an email. It's just that easy, and it makes it that much easier to ignore.
MAKE THEM FEAR US!!!
MAKE THEM THINK TWICE AND THINK AGAIN BEFORE THEY TRY TO PUT A RINO OVER ON US!!!Let them know you are serious. Tell them why they have reason to fear us. They won't if one or two letters trickle in. We need thousands.
They might receive contributions from the party elite, but those people have only ONE VOTE, no matter how much money they contribute.
We have millions.
TELL THEM ABOUT IT!!! If they send you one of their stupid plastic cards, don't just send it back in their prepaid envelopes anymore. Enclose it whole with a personal letter using your own envelope, your own stamp, and SEND IT!!!
GOT IT???
DO IT!!!
DO IT TODAY OR TOMORROW, BUT DO IT!!!This is a Jim Robinson endorsed initiative as it appeared on THIS THREAD, suggested to Jim on THIS POST endorsed on THIS REPLY.
Permission to use Free Republic as the sponsor was asked on THIS POST, and permission was granted on THIS REPLY FROM JIM.The committee that put this initiative together is DJ MacWoW, who came up with this ingenius idea, with contributions from ~Kim4VRWC's~, hiredhand, bcsco, and MestaMachine.
We have all worked hard to light this fire. Help us turn it into the bonfire that burns their tent down!So there you have it. If you are at the end of your rope and think there is nothing left to do, for all of our sakes, TRY THIS. IT WON'T HURT A BIT!!!
AND IT JUST MIGHT SHAKE THE RNC TREE. AT THE VERY LEAST, IT WILL GET THEIR ATTENTION.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE!!!
But I can see your point and strategy.
I have always enjoyed FR because it states up front we are an INDEPENDENDENT CONSERVATIVE forum. Which is good. Defacto we may be with the Republicans 90% of the time, it is good they NEVER consider us automatically in their back pocket, particularly when their RINOs run roughshod over us, year in and year our, year in and year out. Just about had enough, is what I'm talkin' about.
Freedom will succeed if the producers ofsociety fund it
You came on OUR activism thread telling us, including JimRob who started this project, how wrong we are and you want to call the shots? Not how it works.
As I said, we're fed up with the Rino lovers. Indeed, you keep trying what doesn't work and we'll try something new.
You are welcome to go disrupt and disagree elsewhere.
Ping! Bump! And Reprint
I don’t know who I left out in the reply field because I have to type this from my phone. There are so many people I want to hear from about this..
Ping whoever you think can help get this sorted out.
All negative personal comments and attacks aside...
The truth is, our country is going through a major change (overhaul) in its political and social mindset. It’s a new world...
What is happening here and now is the result of so many factors we can’t even name them all. While the clinton era (my era/generation’s awakening) triggered emotional debate— 9/11 started the change in mindset..we will never be the same again because of it. Now we expect more out of our so called leaders then we are getting, and the so-called leaders are using political correctness as a weapon against us...and it’s failing big time.
Corruption is being exposed, people are screaming for truth, justice and the ultimate goal-—a fix. Not a bandaid. To attempt to squash freedom of speech by telling people to not write letters is what the powers that be want.
This makes me sick...people have woke up, are speaking out and here we have people telling us that writing letters (historical physical evidence of discord, displeasure and anger) is a worthless venture. You might as well tell people to go back to sleep. I don’t see the naysayers offering an alternative, a better way to unite the angry voters.
I will never stand with anyone who attempts to suppress protests against socialism etc..
I’ve also read that writing letters doesn’t fix anything. It’s called a societal pressure relief valve also known as venting. It’s a heck of a lot better than screaming at the talking heads on cnn, msnbc and paper media from our livingrooms.
Regardless, this is the first step...voice and Analyze the problem. If true conservatives do not step up to the plate and respond to our loud cries within the rnc...the next step is to work with a different party.
I’ll get off my soap box, let ya’ll take over the debate. Besides, my thumbs are getting numb.
It’s time!

Thanks Kim! That was great! Right on the money!
Suppression of Free Speech
Denial of attempts for redress of grievances
Scare tactics about how we vote...is that some kind of voter suppression or disenfranchisement attempts.
A few days ago when I was more or less told...the RNC leadership was not optional #174...I blew through my duct tape. Then they tried to ridicule me off the thread for saying we overturned a 200 year old county government...let's just say it is suppression of some kind.
When asked to present their answer, it is the same old tired tactics that have failed. Failed us, failed the party, and failed the Nation. Yet, like Rupub-obots, they refuse to acknowledge another course of action. The blind allegiance to “the party” is frightening.
We have declared our emancipation from party politics at the beginning of this thread. We have acknowledged “the party” in this thread and been subjected to their hostile fire and internet bullying, it is time for us to fully pickup our bayonets as Allen West said, and CHARGE.
Ain’t that the truth. One has to wonder why they are trying to silence disagreement with “politics as usual”. All the dire warnings of disaster if we write letters is a little over the top. Disrupters? Party plants? Who knows. It doesn’t matter. We won’t be silenced.
Yes, you have and doing a bang-up job!! Between you and Kim, the energy and *good vibes* come through the computer screen.

Here is my first reply to you:
“This is really great but I am too wrapped up with getting the healthcare bill defeated now. Shouldn’t we be contacting Democrat senators and making our wishes clear? Once this bill is dead, then we could concentrate on the RNC.
I am afraid of what will happen if this bill passes. Having a Conservative majority may not be enough to save the country.
The R’s in the Senate are working hard but they lack the numbers to do what is necessary. Some of the D’s must be feeling the heat from their constituents. Couldn’t we help them get the message, bigtime?”
Since your reading comprehension is questionable, let me make this simple for you.
“This is really great...” means I think your idea is a good one.
After going back and reading the whole thread, I see there are others, like me, who have been contacting the RNC for a long time, and have seen the results quite clearly. I realize that it may be new to you, however, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING NEW.
It is of concern that they ignore a 30 year contributor and there must be hundreds of thousands of us! (I haven’t given a cent to the Party since 2005. I prefer to support individual conservative candidates and will continue.) Personal letters from Mr. Steele and prominent Party leaders, get a prompt reply with the same message that you espoused. THIS IS NOT NEW.
Being whiny, defensive, and accusatory is very unbecoming and makes it difficult to gain followers. We need as many participants as possible.
Get off your highhorse and do whatever you think is best. Leave those of us who have been where you are now, alone.
Have a nice day.
Numbers matter. A deluge is better than a trickle.
Leave those of us who have been where you are now, alone.
You came on our activism thread. We responded. You're too busy to write. Ok. Don't. Some of us can multitask. Every citizen has the right to do what they believe is necessary. And we will whether you agree it or not.
Have a peaceful weekend.
You.
“And WHY, in my so-called “ignorance” might I ask, would you “object if we improve that “reputation” to become a serious political force to be reckoned with?”
You're not improving it you're reinforcing it.
“See, I don’t understand why you seem to have it in for everything Jim Robinson is for.”
Jim and I are for the same thing, we just have different strategies.
“Don’t you want Free Republic to be more than YOU claim it is? And IF not, WHY not?”
That day has come and gone. A long time ago if you mentioned to people in DC that you were from FR they would say “You're from FR? Let's work together”. Now they just laugh...not always to you're face.
“THAT is the question.”
Seriously, it isn't.
“Dede Scozzafava was picked because it was her “turn”.”
This proves either you don’t do your due diligence or are incapable of coming to rationale conclusions when presented with factual premise’s.
If you are unable to ascertain the facts in this one isolated incident, how can you be trusted with the big picture and decisions?
Nope.
She got the nod because it was her "turn"
Maybe you should pay more attention.
So to you “due diligence” is quoting one line from an obscure internet article from an obscure website written by an obscure, small town mayor...and one that comes off as nothing more than a rant?
This is exactly what I talk about. You don’t care to know the facts, appearances are all you need to know the “truth” because you’ve already decided what the “truth” is and are now flailing away looking for any tidbits out there to bolster that belief and contrary evidence be damned.
Here;s another example of your Shoot! Ready! Aim! mentality. You ask people to write a letter then copy it ten times (WTF?) and send it to the RNC. How about 2 of those letters going to the NRSC and NRCC? Do you even know what those are?
Yeah. I'm sure the locals in NY23 are clueless and you know more about their area than they do.
You're a hoot dude. Egotistical and clueless.
Have a nice weekend! :-)
