Site of the Day: Flip4.org

Taking activism to the local level

Allow me to introduce a website that has a lot of potential to be an excellent tool in conservative activism at the state level: Flip4.org

I’ll allow the site designers description to speak for itself.

State legislatures are the front lines of American politics. They are where good ideas—and bad ones—can be introduced and tested. They are where our rising stars emerge, or where scandals damage the Republican brand. And after the 2010 census, they are where the redistricting of our nation’s congressional districts will be determined.

The goal of Flip4.org is to flip four seats in every statehouse where doing so will give Republicans the majority. More than that, the goal is to put into those seats talented, principled, forward-thinking Republicans who will serve their states with distinction once elected.

To achieve that ultimate goal, Flip4.org will have three purposes:

  • To identify four such candidates in every statehouse where their victories will give Republicans the majority.
  • To collect and distribute information about these candidates, their issues and their races.
  • To direct resources to these candidates, both financial and otherwise, to enable their victory.

Join us on the front lines of American politics, and lend your time and talents to Flip4.org.

This is a great idea. Here is hoping that this gives us the tools to control as many state legislatures as we can. Control the farm teams and you dominate the big leagues.

    Who’s running the organization ?

    They want info from me like my name and e-mail address, why isn’t there a contact page so we can see who we’re giving this to?

    Nothing saying “your e-mail address won’t be used ……”

    The “whois” data shows the site registered to a gent who owns a media company in Lynwood Washington State. The host is BlueHost.com in Utah.

    Like Obama, this organization popped up out of nowhere. The registration went active on November 22, 2008.

    They may be VERY real, but until somebody I trust tells me who they are, I’m not buying into it at all.

    Yes, I’m VERY skeptical these days.

    You want to get involved at the state level, here’s a good site for starters…… The State Policy Network…….. http://www.spn.org

    That is hardly and activist site. It’s good to immerse yourself in policy from time to time, but those of us on the right need to embrace the activist model much more. This is a step in that direction.
