Many of us have been disappointed by the outcome of the GOP primaries. Our personal choices did not meet muster; boo hoo, sniffle, sniffle. Let’s not parrot the diatribe of our true opponents who, if elected will continue to wreck the economy and tear up our Constitution with their socialist mantra. Our disappointment must not help to defeat our GOP slate of candidates.
I have run into many Republicans and conservatives acting like spoiled three year olds. Just like the a child, throwing a tantrum because he/she won’t get the candy bar at the checkout counter he/she wants and won’t settle for the one offered, they end up with nothing. People, grow up. We all know that we can’t have everything we want when we want it. A journey begins with one step. Just because it is a bumpy one, is no reason to give up. A chocolate bar may be tastier but let’s be thankful for the Trident gum for now.
We have to campaign with heartfelt enthusiasm for all the GOP candidates. Don’t allow your disappointment show and discourage others. We must encourage others to vote for our GOP slate. Just think what if Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown win. That would be a disaster. Let’s not have any negativism when talking about our GOP candidates. Ronald Reagan said “if you agree 80% with me we can work together” (or something to that effect).
Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman agree with over 80% of our views on the major issues facing California and the Nation. It is a lot more realistic that we will influence the actions of Meg and Carly then those of Boxer and Brown who have proved that they don’t care what we want or think.
Let’s support our GOP candidates now and when they get elected keep in touch with them. Send them emails, letters, and faxes letting them know what we expect of them. Admonish them (respectfully) when their actions are counter to our principles and thank them for doing the right thing. We must play the cards dealt us.
I and the Party Leadership will work hard to help elect the whole GOP slate. We all have to take responsibility for our future and that of generations to come. In the past others have risked wealth, liberty, and life to build a nation based on the Constitution so wisely prepared by our founders. We are not being asked to risk anywhere near what others have. Just a little bit of our time walking precincts, making phone calls, and encouraging our friends, neighbors, and associates to vote GOP.
There are a million Republicans (plus many independents and Democrats having our core beliefs) in LA County. We all can make a ten dollar donation a month before November. This would raise more than $10 million a month for three months to help elect the GOP slate. Ten dollars is about three lattes, a sacrifice we all can make without suffering permanent damage.
Freedom and Liberty are not free. Let’s take responsibility for the future of California and America. Campaign enthusiastically, get out the vote, and be sure you vote the complete GOP slate
