If you are inclined to agree, can you 'ping' your FR list?
Use the proceeds of the book in part to form an Exploratory Congressional Campaign Committee, investigate a good congressional district, establish residence, contract with a good political direct mailing firm, go to campaign school, and start national mailings to conservatives seeking small donations. Build up a national war chest, hire experienced staff, announce for an open district, beat the crap out of the RINO republicans in the primary, smack the Democrat in the general, and then get to congress and get on a committee dealing with Immigration and introduce the needed legislation.
This can all be achieved in 23 months. Free Republic could be a great test case and could unofficially 'adopt' Michelle as our premiere Congressional candidate for 2004. She could get a lot in the way of visibility, expanding her database of contributors, precinct walkers, etc. For a strong contingent of people to field her for office and concentrate on ONE district and work the heck out of it, we could get our first Congressman with (R-FR), after her name (Republican/Freeper).
It's quite do-able, imho, extremely inticing politically speaking, and is the next logical step for her past the book signings and tours.
