Preparing For Victory In 2010 & Beyond

If existing conservative organizations, programs and structures could have defeated the Progressive Agenda for America, they would have done so already. There would not be a Tea Party Movement and the Progressives would not have the power they possess right now.

Consequently, America needs a new battle plan that brings every conservative and/or moderate organization, PAC, Group and individual/s under one roof, with better funding, strategy, tactics and execution. What was lost by the vote must be regained by the vote.

November is not that far away. It is time we move to the next level. Consequently, all of us that want to save our country need to start working now to put the systems in place for upcoming elections block by block, street by street, district by district. For the short and long term, I propose the following independent organizations.

Why?

There are millions of Americans that want to save this country that are not overly enthused with any political party, the Tea Party Movement or any politically oriented group; but, these same people will gladly pay the $5.00 or $10.00 a month to save our country. Conservative means not liberal.

Therefore, the appeal will be broad and the word - Conservative - will automatically mean the money will be well spent and accounted for. Action means something will be done and millions of Americans want something done that will not jeopardize their livelihood, safety and security, cause too much pain and/or suffering or endanger the security of the entire nation.

First - The Conservative Action Fund To Save America (CAFTSA)

In some areas we can move more to the right of center or more to center, whichever the case may be. In 2004, according to statistics, there were approximately 55 million registered Republicans in the United States. If each one, and that includes me, gave $5.00 or $10.00 a month, that's 55 million x 5.00 = $275,000,000 a month. 55,000,000 x $10 = $550,000,000 a month.

Our goal should be a monthly contribution from every Conservative starting at $5.00 to this fund. This would be a "War Chest" of 3.3 billion annually at the low end to 6.6 billion at the high end. And this does not include donations and contributions each candidate, group and/or organization can raise on his/her/their own.

Effective funding eliminates the need to constantly raise money every election year and beat the bushes for nickels and dimes. Plus, it gives the entire Conservative movement the financial capacity to respond immediately to misinformation from the opposition. In addition, it limits exposure to special interest politicking and influence. Any influence peddling that does not benefit our cities and towns, our business communities, institutions and the American people is not influence, it's thievery. This fund will also allow the Conservative movement to have the best candidates for every elected office.

Let's turn our anger into the infrastructure that will be necessary to mount a multi-faceted and long term battle plan to save our country. We can accomplish this with strong, intelligent and thoughtful leadership and an unwavering commitment to excellence. If we sincerely want change and victory, let's start organizing ourselves to pay for it.

If these idea have merit, find the leaders of each existing group and lets start working on the necessary paperwork, procedures and policies immediately. Make sure online payment services like PayPal and AlertPay are included. This fund will maximize flexibility, increase overall effectiveness and will allow the movement to always have the best possible candidates for public office at every level of government, as well as leaders and administrators for government agencies, ambassadorships and appointed local, state and/or federal positions.

By doing this, we can effectively establish the principles by which we govern ourselves, not just the laws that regulate our activities as citizens. We do not have to alter our Constitution, just live by it. And if we must grow to meet the challenges ahead, the amendment process is always available for us to use.

Second - The Conservative Center For Strategic and Tactical Political Action (SATPA for shorthand)

In order to lessen the impact of the mainstream media which is hopelessly biased and level the playing field, I propose the Conservative Center For Strategic and Tactical Political Action (SATPA). This center will develop political strategies for local and state elections, coordinate activities and develop the appropriate response to any ad campaign initiated by the opposition.

Every talking point by the opposition should be countered within 24 hours or less. The men and women at SATPA will be the absolute best political thinkers and strategist we can find. SATPA will be able to coordinate activities, move human resources, material, supplies and/or necessary logistical support wherever and whenever it is needed.

This center will help any local, statewide and/or national political campaign with tactical and strategic planning. Any conservative or moderate group, including the the Republican Party will be able to come to SATPA for help with planning, developing and implementing not only political campaigns, but also, public relations, effective presentation, education, training and a host of other activities, knowledge and skill that will be necessary to move America back to Right of Center. In order to win and continue winning, we are going to need workable, smart and cost effective solutions and alternatives to our collective problems as Americans and to decisively counter the Democratic Agenda.

Third - The Comprehensive Conservative Information Network (CCIN)

In order to organize ourselves more effectively, I propose the Comprehensive Conservative Information Network (CCIN). This online network will bring every conservative group and individual to one location as long they believe in the Sanctity of Life, Constitutional Law, Fiscal Responsibility and Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for All Americans. The CCIN will be organized in such a way so that every group and any person can link to any conservative organization from a central location and at every conceivable level.

CCIN can also be a clearing house for information relative to locally elected officials and local, statewide and national issues. Somebody somewhere will know something and if no one knows, then we find out. Having a central online location will save us time and money, improve communications, efficiency, proficiency and provide real time online tracking information for every election, regardless of the city or state. Funding for all of this will come from CAFTSA.

These are just a few ideas. Together we can find better ideas or improve upon what we already have and what we are already doing. Remember: Conservatives and Republicans are fair game in America right now. Therefore, we must always, always conduct ourselves with the highest possible ethical, moral and personal standards. We do not have to denigrate, smear or sling mud at anyone. We stay on message. Stay committed and stay focused on achieving our objective, i.e., victory after victory in 2010.

In order to win and swing this entire nation back to right of center, we need more than rhetoric, slogans and a collective dislike for certain points of view when it comes to public expenditures, taxation and government sponsored programs, policies, regulations and/or subsidies. Consequently, as a movement, our goal should be and must be which philosophy best serves the interest of the nation, the states, our institutions, businesses, communities and the people. All of this must be done within the confines of the existing Constitution, the existing body of law, the existing regulatory requirements and our existing obligations and mandates as a national governing body. And... done in a fiscally responsible way.

This is why it is imperative that we articulate a better governing philosophy that can deal with all the problems we face as a nation and still address the needs that are briefly covered in the preceding paragraph. Without this overriding governing philosophy that can deal with our collective problems, we might win in 2010, only to lose it all in the following elections. Hence, in order to win and continue winning, we are going to need workable, smart and cost effective solutions and alternatives to our collective problems as Americans.

The issues that face America are not Conservative, Socialist or Liberal issues, Northern, Southern, Western or Eastern, these are American issues and to some extent, regional and international issues. Therefore, the group and/or candidate that best articulates America's issues, whether at the local, state or federal level and outlines a workable strategy that binds the nation and its people together to solve America's problems with sound, well thought out policies and a comprehensive vision will win and keep on winning.

If we must get into the gutter, let's do it with style, intelligence and class. Our weapons, astounding facts, undeniable truth and verifiable proof presented with persuasive, logical, emotional and thoughtful arguments. Winning is not enough in 2010, our goal should be and must be overwhelming or significant victories. We must not falter in this endeavor. The future of our children and our nation is at stake.

The Reality Of The Conservative Movement

Unfortunately, the reality of the Conservative Movement is simply this.... conservatives are not going to be able to get Progressives like Pelosi, Waxman, Frank, Rangel, Dingle, Weiner, Jordan and Clyburn out of office easily.

James Clyburn is a fixture in the African American community and his popularity will not be diminished by his voting record or reckless speeches or statements. Clyburn, like many in the Democratic Party, are people and political figures conservatives will have to learn to live with and deal with because of the districts they come from and the mindset of the people that elected them to office.

The best way to reduce these people effectiveness; as well as the Democratic Party as an organization is to vote the majority of these people out of office where we can and never let them return. At least, until Christ comes, then it would not matter.

However, conservatives must be careful not to let their disdain, distrust, dissatisfaction, emotionalism and dislike for liberalism or this health care legislation cloud their judgment. In short, do not do anything violent or stupid. This is a political debate conservatives can win, if executed in an intelligent manner. The first thing conservatives need to do is educate themselves as to the political tactics and philosophy of the Democratic Party, Progressives and their supporters.

Remember: Millions followed and supported Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Mao, Castro, Papa Doc and every other demagogue and tyrant this planet has produced. Consequently, you can find supporters for almost any half-baked idea political parties or leaders can produce. However, if it comes to the lesser of two evils, I would personally choose Conservatives and Republicans every time.

Democrats have bankrupted social security and almost every state and city they control politically. It has been the policies and programs of the Democratic Party that have led to our current economic crisis, the immigration crisis, the education crisis, our moral crisis and our dependence on foreign oil. Let us not forget it is the Democratic Party that started class warfare in America.

It was northern Democrats that gave America defacto segregation and the modern African American and Hispanic Ghettoes. Southern Democrats gave America Poll Taxes, Jim Crow Laws, the Klu Klux Klan and lynched over 2,000 people "White" and "Black" because of their political views. The Klan was created by Democrats to silence and intimidate Republicans. Progressives and the far left have murdered millions of people in countries all over the world. Communism, Marxism, Socialism and Fascism are all philosophies deeply ingrained to the left of the political spectrum. Consequently, the viciousness you see on the left is not new.

Conservatives gave the world and America, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the Age of Enlightenment, the concept of government by and for the people, public education, hospitals, the sciences, help for the poor and the Underground Railroad. The Republican Party literally saved the Union under Lincoln, freed the slaves, ended slavery and laid the foundation for our modern Free Enterprise System by emphasizing non-intrusive government, fiscal responsibility and greater economic freedom.

Folks keep forgetting, without Republicans, African Americans would not have Civil Rights. In addition, minorities always prosper under Republican administrations and were solid Republicans until the New Deal. Booker T. Washington led the Black Conservative Movement. Those in the Tea Party that rail against Republicans because of the financial indiscretions of the Bush administration need to re-read their history.

The Bush Doctrine did keep Islamic Extremist off balance after 9/11/2001 and his Doctrine effectively ended the financing of suicide bomb attacks on Israel that were being funded openly by Saddam Hussein. If Bush had not acted, Israel would have... and we all know how explosive that would have been. There are no perfect politicians just like there are no perfect Americans. We all have our shortcomings.

The economic stability America has enjoyed since the end of World War II can be directly traced to bi-partisan participation and not the tyranny of any one political party. Therefore, it is critical, if not imperative for conservatives to begin understanding the underlying philosophy that drives the political left, Progressives and their supporters in order to counter this philosophy and mindset effectively. Right now, conservatives are not doing a good job, otherwise the situation America is facing and experiencing would not exist.

Perhaps it is possible to take advantage of a genuine opportunity, to slow down, stop and even begin the slow and arduous process of reversing America's moral and economic decline. Every American is at a defining moment in World history. Either we will have continued economic, social, political and institutional stability or eventual chaos, financial collapse and ruination.
