Everyone who calls themselves “conservative” knows that the government of this country needs to be reclaimed and brought back to Constitutional principles of limited, restricted government and values based on a higher level of morality than currently exists in this country. In order for anything close to this to happen, conservatives need get their act together and fast.
The Democratic Party has shown repeatedly that they are very well organized and will work together to achieve their liberal goals. The conservatives in this country need to do the same or they will never rescue this country from the morass of socialist-Marxist programs and expanding government control and loss of individual liberties.Once you accept the afore-mentioned situation the question then arises, how do we best accomplish our goals in the present geopolitical atmosphere?
The first step that needs to take place is to create an organizational structure to use for coordinating our activities. In order to establish such a structure it would take a lot of time and a lot of money. Both of which are working against us as we need to act fast to stop the socialization of this country. Luckily we already have a structure in place to use. We just need to find a way to get access to this structure so we can properly utilize it. That organizational structure already exists in the Republican Party. This is why we cannot abandon the GOP. Instead it is imperative that we convince the GOP to work towards our mutually beneficial ends. I say mutually beneficial because they would also benefit from working to get conservatives elected as they would reap much greater levels of financial support and donations if they were to put on a marketing campaign stressing the goals of returning America to a more Constitutionally based government and a desire to restore morality to American society.
The next step is to create an outline that describes the goals we wish to obtain. What, specifically, are the conservative values we espouse? What defines the moral values we wish to restore? Whatever outline is come up with, it needs to be communicated party-wide and all party members need to be informed that if they want the support of the Republican Party, if they want to be able to use the Republican tag behind their name, they need to “toe the party line” and support the parties agenda. The strength of the Democratic Party is their unity behind their beliefs and goals. We need to find a way to bring that unity to the GOP. We can no longer afford “RINOs” like Senator Snowe and Senator Collins from Maine or “Mavericks” like Senator John McCain of Arizona. We need party members who are going to act in accordance with the party’s plans and goals and the party’s plans and goals need to be developed around sound Constitutional principles of limited, restricted government and high moral values.
Once we have everyone on the same sheet of music, we need to screen individuals for acceptability to run for president. We need to find true conservatives with strong leadership abilities and no skeletons in their closets. We need “clean” candidates that all conservatives can get behind and we need to find them before we have 10 or 12 weak Republicans announcing that they are going to run for president. Once picked, the word needs to be put out that all state party headquarters need to support the party’s candidates. We cannot afford to have the Republican vote split apart by infighting and too many candidates. We also need to start right away to build a cabinet for our candidate composed of the best and the brightest minds we can come up with (and these also need to have no skeletons in their closets). We MUST have acceptable, confirmable individuals of the highest moral character if we are going to portray ourselves as the party of high morals and values.
By working to put together a cabinet before the election, after the primaries, it can be announced that we will have a team ready to start addressing all issues immediately upon swearing in. We should also have bills already prepared ahead of time to submit to congress. The American people should be able to read these bills ahead of time so they know exactly what they are voting for when they vote for our candidate. We need to have clear and concise position papers on all of the issues that can be accessed online. That way there is no way that our candidate’s position can be misconstrued or smeared.
The bottom line here is, America cannot afford for conservatives to get hung up over whether or not we want to be part of the GOP or for us to not have our act together any longer. We need to come together, use the existing party structure to forward our goals and “Git-er-done” for the American people. If we do not, the progressive, liberal, socialistic and Marxist elements within our government will destroy America from within and the America of our youth, the America of “the greatest generation”, the America of individual Liberty, State’s rights and moral world leadership will cease to exist.
I encourage all who read this to forward it to every Conservative and/or Republican leader you can. It needs to get the widest and highest dissemination possible. I have deliberately left the specifics of the “Platform” for our “movement” vague in order for those who institute this plan to be able to shape it to their ideas of what positions on what issues would be most acceptable to the American voters. There are plenty of good, conservative individuals out there (such as former Senator Fred Thompson) that can clearly define what principles and values need to be included. I caution, however, that the mood in America has shifted to a center-right frame of mind and if they choose to take positions that leave them “wiggle-room” to pander to special interest groups or to lean left-ward, they will be rejected by the electorate.
The time for pandering to special interest groups and taking positions on issues that are wishy-washy and allow for them to later be “interpreted” differently is over. We need strong leadership and clear positions on the issues. We need a leadership structure that will work to convince ALL conservatives, Republican or not, and ALL conservative oriented organizations such as the hundreds of “Tea Party” groups to FINALLY work together and stand firm in supporting positions and a plan to SAVE AMERICA!
