Fire Nancy! ...w/ Your Friends

Republicans across the nation are banding together with the People to say 'No more, Madam Speaker!'

My conservative friends, we all know there is a problem in our representative office when the approval rating of the speaker dips so very low! Our friends on the left side of the aisle can't be expected to do anything about this, however. So they're rooting for us silently, but it's up to us to take action.

The Republican National Committee has actually started a fund-raising drive to do just that. If you have the means to do so, donating to the cause might not be a bad idea. However, that's not the only thing you can do.

So, if you see what's going on in our country right now and you don't have any money, what can you do? Get involved! That's probably the single, most effective thing you can do. Keep yourself educated and in-tune with what's going on. Get to know your local representative candidates so you can make informed decisions in November.

Refrain from the distractions of the mainstream media and do some self-investigation. Keep a close eye on your local races too... today's locals are tomorrow's feds! Don't be intimidated into being quiet about your conservative values. Speak up, and ask the hard questions.

Take a look at both vulnerable and non-vulnerable left-side districts across the country. Have friends or family in that area of the country? Call them! Discuss what's going on with anyone you can. Meetings and town halls are fantastic, if you've been attending, I urge you to keep doing so. Your voice must be heard. But this movement can't be just a party-line! You need to take this discussion to the streets! Engage your friends in polite political conversation. YES! It's O.K. to care about your country and discuss it with folks... don't let anyone tell you different.

I keep some strange friends on the other side of the aisle. We help keep one another honest. Don't be afraid to talk to your friends or family that don't agree with you politically! Only by having these conversations will you (and they) come to understand that we're not so different after all, and most of us really do love our country and hold to conservative values. (Even if our friends on the other side don't want to admit it publicly, they'll tell you.) My good moderate friend reminded me of a quote the other day I'd like to share with you:

"I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend." ~ Thomas Jefferson
