The
Republican party could be a strong force against the big-government
schemes of Washington. But there are some things we have to do to
get there. The mainstream media labels any point of view other than the
State Approved message as "fringe" "extremist" "radical."
Look at the
MIAC Report from MO if you need proof that the
demonization of dissent has reached a dangerous level.
Dissent is patriotic, even when Democrats are in office.
With
conservatives and libertarians spread out, we can easily be cordoned off
and dealt with individually. We need to work together to get Small-government,
pro-liberty candidates in office. Here is how we do it:
The
WVGOP creates 6 new seats on its State Executive Committee. Two
of these seats go to at-large Delegates from the Constitution Party,
two to at-large Delegates from the Libertarian Party, and two to
at-large Delegates from Independent/No Party.
At the
danger of sounding "extreme," I think this idea has merit. It gets
all of the so-called 'conservatives' under one roof. It gets us working
together, thinking together, and opens up hundreds of possible
volunteers. These at-large Delegates do not have to change Party
Registration. We're the party of the open door, as we like to say.
Time to put our money where our mouths are.
If we
open our doors to the minor parties, we can work together to get good,
small-government conservatives in office. I imagine that most
people don't care whether the person has an R, a C, or an L after their
name as long as they are cutting taxes, shrinking the size of
government, and supporting liberty; the Tea Party movement supports this position.
In fact, I would not be surprised to see the Tea Party movement become a political party within the next two years.If we do not want to be left behind, then it's time to open our doors.
