Our problem here is that we can't get people to run. We have a good Congressman who happens to be a Democrat. We run people who lose because they try to trash the guy and that hurts the Party. Nobody worth a crap wants to run for School Board and Council because they are afraid to lose to the NEA machine. We need to start small and move up.

It is not an easy task.

Ronald Reagan's "Speak no evil" was good advice.

One must speak the truth as he sees it,and let the chips fall where they may.

If one is afraid to get in the game because they fear they'll lose, they aren't serious about what needs to be done.
