Just a thought. Find a congressman that talks like you want them to talk. i.e. Tancredo. CALL that persons office and ask them how you can get involved in your own area. You will find an approach that has experience and some power behind it. IF your own state has GOOD conservatives to learn from, call them. They will talk to you. If you cant get thru to some one like Tancredo (he’s pretty busy these days) his office and many reps. offices have fine staff to assist you.
Like you hinted at above- be PRO-ACTIVE, not Re-active.
Glad you brought it up.

You know, folks, there are a LOT of really strong brains here, with conviction and principle. Remember the impact the straight talk from the Swift Boat crew had during the ’04 election?

Pick one of these hot button articles and read through the comments… pretty strong and with full, rich flavor, eh? Does it make your react? Of course it does! We need to share these with others who are not active… our friends, neighbors, workmates (the LEGAL ONES)! …Because these comments are motivating. We need to motivate the people of like minds that are inactive now. Lots of them (most?) care, but don’t stay informed.

I can remember clearly, during the Clinton nightmare years, the feeling that I was on an “island” and MUST BE the only one who could see the damage that was taking place. Of course, I wasn’t, but it was getting active and talking and sharing ideas that finally removed that notion. And then I worked really hard, just like you all did, I’ll bet. And then we won a majority that… HAS FAILED US!

We need to do it again. A damn near complete and total wardrobe change is in order. We need to USE our good minds COLLECTIVELY towards the common good we all envision. Maybe it is better stated to say it would be towards removing the common bad we all see!

There have been good ideas put forth. I like dumping the 17th Amendment… what would it take? How to get it rolling, effectively? Thoughts? Comments?

I also like the idea of these comments, from these blogs, getting assembled into a letter form and sent to every House and Senate member in Congress. Daily! Day after day, until it gets noticed! Michelle could perhaps call attention to this in appropriate venues… like “Hannity and that idiot Colmes”, Bill O’Reilly, John Gibson, Heartland, etc.. Is this not grassroots at its’ purest??? We are the constituency and our voices should be heard! Your voices are the rawest, most unadulterated appeals from the mind and heart I have ever read… America needs the opportunity to read/hear you, too!

I also think we should appeal to someone like Hannity to give TV exposure to Michelle’s Vent a couple of days back… reminding the people of how the 9-11 terrorists got their documents before flying into the Pentagon. Comments? Michelle, are you listening?

These are important items that might make a difference and we could be the catalyst. If not us, who then?

I have almost zilch for time (mom is sick with cancer and I have a wife and a biz that I run completely alone… no illegals under my roof!)… but I find the time to make comments and stay informed. Just as ALL OF YOU DO, TOO!

If we all put our heads together and give just a little piece of our time, effort, talent… focused on a common goal… what can we do to make a difference???

I would sleep better knowing I tried, and maybe even failed, but DID SOMETHING MORE than just comforted myself by sharing my observations with the rest of you.

My state has two Rhinopublicrats who are firmly clasped in the arms of the liberal hijackers that have taken over my home state. They are lounging in the power and security the libs have bestowed upon them and are actually running UNOPPOSED in November.

So I have decided to look at getting the effective message out on a national basis. I don’t know what might be the best way to proceed, but I want to try.

So this post is my food for thought for all of you… ideas? thoughts? criticisms? gears turning yet?

The US Senate has voted to allow for illegal immigrants to get social security benefits by killing a bill that would’ve prevented it. John McCain, unsurprisingly, was one of them….

Otherwise its gonna end up the California of the East Coast.

Besides knowing comonly used phrases learned at the construction site most illegals cannot speak or write in English -
++++Nor can they write their own language……
Lose – lose situation.

From Town of Carrboro’s website: The town, commonly referred to as the “Paris of the Piedmont”… [Piedmont being the flatlands/agricultural area of NC]

Still with every visit home…I see more and more instances of liberal-influenced political correctness around my home state.

Damn Yankee northern aggressors are gonna turn my beloved state into Vermont.

I’ve been wondering why eveybody says we can’t deport all 11-12 million illegals – how do they know? Bush said we’ve deported 6 million already, so what’s the problem? Even if we couldn’t, what’s the excuse for not deporting as many as we can?

Tim Chapman reported last week: To qualify for full Social Security benefits, a worker must register 10 years of work. Under current law, illegal immigrants who obtain legal status can use their previous illegal work history to apply for Social……
