Things are moving along....

We are two weeks post election, and now just 714 days remain until the mid term election of 2010.

To say the least, there is much work to be done. In the two weeks since the election, while the bailout continues to have no real impact on the economy other than to have every industry going to Congress with their hands out, looking for freebies, and the money already distributed being used to fatten holiday bonuses for banking executives. Now the automakers are trying to get in on the action. Some cities are trying to get in on it too.

Yet, while all of this nonsense is taking place, we've been out buying web site domains in preparation for the launch of the next American Revolution....the one in which we launch, recruit members, impact local, state GOP's as well as the national GOP with our new organization Take Back The Republican Party.org and our new sites, www.takebacktherepublicanparty.org .net and .us!

I've been meeting with creative design teams and work is beginning on the new site and the new logo. We'll be asking you to join us, to contribute to our cause and to the future of our country. We'll be doing many things....joining forces to influence state and local Republican Party chapters across the country, and reshaping the party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Ike and Reagan back into the party of small government, low taxes, safe and secure borders and streets, and above all, inclusion. You see, we are a center right leaning country. We, as Americans, share the same core beliefs, values and ideals about what our government should, and should NOT be....and we are going to focus on real world solutions in the areas upon which the ground we stand on is common to us all.

We ARE going to affect the Republican Party in ways that will rock its core. We are going to work with, and on behalf of candidates who have and will, based on their record, hold true to OUR American values...and we are going to help get these people elected. Simply put, we are going to alter the course of American History by helping OUR party take back Congress and fix our out of control government.

Much like there were doubters 240+ years ago, the people who said the original revolutionaries could not revolt against the almighty and all powerful British government, so too will there be doubters about our mission. They will tell us we are crazy, that we can't have any effect, that the parties have too much money, too much control......I will look them in the eye and ask them where in the American Experience is helplessness? What part of the fabric of our great country says that we are helpless to make our government be of, by and for the People?

So today, November 19th, I let you all know of the general plan. There are many more details to come. And. we can only be successful, and we MUST be successful in this journey, if you, your relatives, friends, neighbors, co-workers and their friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers join us in our fight. We are building a great team. There will also be room for people to take on leadership positions as our organization grows. It will be hard work......it will be hard work.

But for as hard as this work is going to be, think to yourself about what it is that those of us from 30-50 years old can say we have accomplished for our country? Have we done anything collectively for our country that makes our parents proud? Have we done anything that has made America better for our children and grandchildren than it has been for us?

I have spent many hours thinking about these things. I've got the following.....worst economy in 2 generations....most vulnerable borders in the history of our nation.....largest government, national debt in numbers I can't even comprehend, failure to reform welfare, social security, health care in any remotely meaningful ways.

It is time that we come together, stand upon the common ground that binds us to capitalize on OUR American Exceptionalism. To use our greatness to solve the problems we are facing. To make our parents proud and to give our children a chance to enjoy the amazing opportunities we have taken for granted during our lives.

We ARE going to do this. Together. Americans. We will not take no for an answer, it is not our way, it is not who we are.......
