Now is the time to get out and do the work needed to attain victory on Nov 3rd.

I’m also a terrorist… according to the same people who call me astroturf.

I hear ya, Raz.

In my next email to try to rally the troops, I’ll just link to your very well written diary! You hit the nail on the head!!!

have overlooked is how this year is different from all other years. The Tea Partiers don’t need the calls and the door to door campaigns of the past. The Democrats actions is what has us motivated. We are going to throw them out and i don’t need one person to call me or knock on my door to get me to the polls this year. Many of my friends that are most times on the fence going into an election are already decided how to vote in November. The battle cry is “Take Out the Trash on November 2nd”. I’m not saying it won’t do any good to call or knock on doors but it won’t be necessary this year.

DANG! I’m not Tea Party, but I would be. Never attended a rally, but agree with everything they say.

My VOTE is what counts, and I will cast it.

My Senate Republican cost me all the money I might have spent on current elections. He took over $1 million from law firms, and could barely remember his Committee vote that cost me $100,000.

When I get solvent again, I’ll vote Tea Party or Republican. LAST election, that Senator did NOT get my vote … THIS year, he’s not running, but I may continue to help keep the Libertarians on the ballot. My District will continue to elect Republicans, regardless.

The Republican Party continues to think that incumbents losing PRIMARIES is just a “blip” in the dissatisfaction of the American PEOPLE with the party (ies) … and incumbents continue to mount “independent” campaigns to keep the perks they have voted themselves, or experienced.

Because of my Republican Senator, I can no longer afford to send money as I once did to George Bush II or John Thune (even if he was out-of-state) … THEY at least got elected. I am left with my VOTE … the only currency shared by each and every citizen … and I may sway my family and another dozen or so … and elections, these days, are won by ones and twos.

VOTE! Because “turf” can rise up and strangle politics as usual.

If you are unhappy with your local and State Republicans, get involved with them. and change them. Find out if your precinct is lacking a precinct committeeman and volunteer to fill that spot.Go to meetings, voice your opinion, change the party from within.

That’s what I am doing. I won the election to be precinct committeewoman in my precinct by getting 5 other people to write my name in during the primary – it’s too late for that for you, but if there is no committeeman, your County Chairman will be happy to appoint you.

Or just volunteer a couple of hours a week. I open the County Republican HQ every Tuesday morning. I put together info on our candidates and put them on doors if the voters are not home. It’s not hard, it’s worth the time.

And, I have been able to find others who think the way I do, and we are slowly changing the outlook of many of the elected Republicans in our State – because we show up and speak out.
