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!!!

To Whom it May Concern,
I am a (member/visitor/friend) of FreeRepublic.com, a non-commercial Conservative website which is "...a political discussion forum and independent grassroots conservative activist group supported by donations from our readers and participants...." (freerepublic.com). I watched the Presidential election with interest. I have watched local, state and federal elections with interest. I have been extremely disappointed with the candidates you have selected to represent Republicans. I have grown weary of candidates who have chosen to ignore conservative ideals, principles and values. Conservatives want strong candidates who are not afraid to stand against liberal agendas, democrats, and the liberal media. Unless I see a commitment by your Republican representatives to protect and defend conservative principles, and actual evidence (legislation and behaviour) that there is change, I will not send in donations nor will I vote for your candidates. I have no desire to support a political party who does not reflect the core values of Conservatives.
I would like to quote the founder of FreeRepublic.com, all of which can be found here http://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm:
"...In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule.After reading what your website says (http://www.gop.com/index.php/learn/what_we_believe/), it is very clear that you don't pick candidates who support or defend your belief system let alone the Conservative belief system. As a result, I believe the Republican Party has left the conservatives. There has been growing evidence that many elected officials are not true Conservatives. Instead, we tend to call them RINO's. RINO's are defined as "Republicans In Name Only". I believe the majority if not all Republican candidates and elected officials are RINO's because of their actions and votes in congress.Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops ... and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty..."
I believe that you are aware of what a RINO is because after completing a quick search on your gop.com website, I noticed quite a few references to RINO's in the search results. I view RINOs as Republicans who claim to be Conservatives, but use their postition to promote, defend and protect liberal ideas, goals, agendas and legislation. While observing past campaigns, I noticed that your candidates use action phrases, slogans and key words that appeal to conservatives, but after they are elected they fail to promote, defend and protect the Conservative platform. You have compromised without a fight for far too long. This is completely unacceptable.
In conclusion, I declare the following:
Whereas ANYONE, who pushes for amnesty for illegal aliens is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE, who pushes for cap-and-trade is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE, who pushes for Romneycare, Obamacare, Medicare Part D, or any of the other un-Constitutional Federal health care schemes is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE, who pushes for Federal control over education is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE, who pushes for Federal take-over is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE, who is unwilling to repeal Roe v. Wade is a RINO
Whereas Anyone who pushes abortion is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE who fails to investigate and prosecute those who are involved in corruption is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE, who pushes for Big Government bailouts, takeovers, and “stimulus” give-aways is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE who pushes gay marriage is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE who refuses to defend our nation is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE who refuses to secure our nation is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE who refuses to secure our borders is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE who fails to secure our God-given unalienable rights is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE who fails to abide by the constitution is a RINO
And will not be supported by Conservatives.
Sincerely,
Name

PHOOEY PING!!!!
Mesta, Your post reminded me of some things I had forgotten about... There will always be some who trash activism...and it shouldn’t bother you bob if the DC RINOS are “laughing”...remember when hannity use to frequent here, and then quit? Is he a rino pusher or is glenn beck the new man in town. Which one is actually doing something?
Bob J is an annoyance to be ignored.
Go man go!
Took me 8 minutes to ...
1) write
2) find envelopes
3) stamp
4) lick
5) address
6) return address
Will send next time I leave house.
Thank you for organizing us! Can’t wait to see your next!
Thank you, ROTB. Has been a glorious day. We got a beautiful fresh TON of snow. I wished for snow yesterday, and when I looked out this morning, there it was in all its pristine beauty and I just said, “Thank You, GOD,” as I ran to get the baby dressed in her snowsuit and new fur-lined Mukluks for the first time.
I am composing my own letter and will have the draft done so that when my stationery gets here, I can write it out. Then I am going to copy it and send a copy to my State GOP, my local GOP, and anyone else I can think of who needs to be put on notice.
Hope you didn’t forget to mention Free Republic. If you didn’t put it on the inside, can I suggest that anyone sending letters from now on, add Free Republic under their name on their return address.
BTW, ONE of those flyers is going to be put up in a very prominent place in my LOCAL GOP headquarters.
One of our REPUBLICAN County Commissioners, who I HELPED elect owns a major resort hotel here. He is a friend of mine and said I can post one at the hotel in the entrance to the front lobby.
(He is what someone else on this thread, who shall remain nameless, might call a “well heeled” and VERY wealthy individual,” who happens to agree wholeheartedly with what we are doing.) Snark, snark.
ALSO, talked today to one of the leading resort home real estate sellers in my area, and was given permission to use their bulletin board where they put up some of their better listings. Most of the people who walk into that office, which is very plush with a wall to wall stone fireplace, (today with a crackling fire lit and some of the best hot chocolate in the world, baby loved it,) are wealthy people looking for mountain retreats which are multimillion dollar homes. More snark.
Got a hold of a friend who owns a huge car dealership in Morgantown, WVA, and he says if I send him a flyer, he will put it up in his main showroom. More snark.
GOD helps those who help themselves....No snark there!
You’re right DJ, it IS best to ignore people ready to pick fights. This is AGAINST our cause. We live, learn and then move on.
Here’s one for ya.
I see that you good folks have been quite busy. Well done and atta’boy!
Movin’ on and movin’ the project. You ought to see how gorgeous it is out with the almost full moon on the snow. I think it’s one of those “favorite things,” like the old song.
I am thinking of putting a FR/RNC mailbag in our party headquarters, maybe elsewhere too, and when they are filled, maybe organizing a caravan and delivering it to the DC office right before the Christmas holiday with camera in hand. Looking at 444’s pics gave me the idea. The more I looked at that pic, the more the idea grew. Anywhere you guys can think of that might be a good place to do the same?
There are at best maybe a dozen people left on this forum who can reliably discuss my activities on it and for it dating back to ‘97 and whomever your “unnamed sources” are are not one of them. You're “secret pics I can't post” smack of the same kind of character assassination by innuendo the MSM engages in daily.
Congratulations, you have now become as despicable as them.
I don't got a dog in this fight so you and your insane posse should just go ahead and knock yourself out.
BTW - I doubt you have the awareness and knowledge to get the “insane posse” reference as well.
That should be “insane clown posse”.
I KNOW you are not assuming that the rest of us are 'rearching' your history. While I have replied to your posts, that DOES NOT MEAN I have an interest in looking into your history. This is about GETTING RINOS OUT OF CONGRESS, and I would think you would be ON the bandwagon. This is not about BOB.....this is about supporting the tea parties, and not letting people forget what this fight is about.
The insane clown posse is a vulgar, foul mouthed nasty rock group.....
... otherwise known as "The Keating Five." ;)
Thank you. I just don’t understand any of this. I decided I don’t care. This is a good project. It isn’t about any single one person. RINOS must be stopped any way we can do it. That is why this project started in the first place.
Naysayers can naysay. Sometimes you can even learn from what they say. So I am not going to be goaded into turning this into a food fight. It’s childish.
Onward and upward.
You know what...years ago, we took our daughter and a few of her friends to a haunted house for halloween. As we stood in line, these guys and gals were passing out promotional cd’s with the insane clown posse on them. (their tour van was in front of the haunted house) After we left, we put the CD in the stereo, and the 3 or 4th word started with F and ended with K. I was mortified because all the girls heard it. Granted, I KNOW the girls were 15 and have heard the word. But still, SHEESH.... nasty insult this one is.
