Pretty much expected that question: First of all, I pleaded with other Freepers to help out....see any of my posts.....trying to convince my like-minded friends that DOING something, instead of talking about it on this website, was very important in the mid-term, redistricting elections.

As for other efforts, I worked from May thru November 5th, helping Republican candidates. Registered Republican voters, made phone calls, recruited volunteers, handed out campaign literature.

Tried to focus on efforts that get real votes.

What did you do?

Constitution Day and I both started the NC FR chapter. He's the President I'm the Vice President. Where in the state do you live?

We've been holding monthly meetings with a pretty DISMAL turnout I must say. November's meeting was well attended because it was on election night.

I've had political signs in my yard and bumper stickers on my car.

I'm an independent and don't agree with a lot of what the GOP is doing in this state. In fact it seems like Republican legislators back stabbing and arguing has contributed somewhat to this defection.

I've attended protests against increases in taxes several times, not that it's done any good. I've attended a legislative session, which got dismissed REAL early because of a bomb scare, that was fun. I've e-mailed, called and faxed my elected representatives.

I've given several interviews to the N & O in which I've been quoted in multiple articles. I've written a few letters to the editor which have been published.

I feel I'm doing my share in this state to try to help the conservative cause. Basically I'm tired and discouraged after doing all of this because it never seems to do any good.

I didn't mean to sound snippy in my post to you but this whole thing has REALLY made me mad. Everything we've done had seemed to finally be paying off and now this. AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
