Principals of the Republican Party

The reason the Republican Party lost its leadership role is because we the people did not stick to our core principals. We did not vet enough those who we elected to office and kept some in office too long. When our elected officials began to veer off course we did nothing about it. We did not keep in contact with them, reminding them why they are in office and what we expect from them. This caused schizophrenic policies. They talked about fiscal responsibility but were spending the people’s money like drunken sailors on shore leave (all you Navy men and women need not get offended, you know how you spent your money). We the ground roots allowed it. Now too many of us are not taking responsibility for our own lack of concern and action. Many have left the party never considering that they too are at fault. Those that jumped the ship refuse to take responsibility for the people they helped elect and then did nothing to reign them in when things started going south. When our elected leaders went astray or did not stand up to our distracters we did not exhort them effectively to proper action.

Talk around the nation is “the Party needs to be re-branded”. Wrong, we need to clean up our act. We need not change our goals or the things we stand for. The principals of the Republican Party are for the good of the country and its people. We all know that. It would be hypocritical to change our message or mission.

The Republican Party is and always was the party of freedom of speech, non-intrusive government, and individual liberty for all. That is what we are. Re-enforcing these is what will bring the Party to state and national prominence and leadership.

There is a disturbing trend across the nation caused by the bumper sticker phrase “the Party needs to be re-branded”. Republican leaders, as legislators and party leaders are using it for self promotion. There are countless numbers announcing they have the answer and all that has to be done is to support and follow them, hog wash. We need to pick leaders who are familiar with grass roots activity but have taken the time to live like the rest of America. That is to get a civilian job, have a family, experience living within a budget, and acquire a true sense of reality before they run for office. These people will have the practical experience needed to be a true servant of the people and not a career politician who “knows better what the people need” or sees the people as a never ending source of revenue. The moment that a politician sees the public as a cash cow, they need a reality check. It is up to us the ground roots people to give it to them.
The future and destiny of America is in the hands of the people. Yes we can bring beneficial change of greater prosperity than can be had under a National Socialist system. Get involved, take a few hours a week to help select proper candidates, campaign for them, and never let a week go by without corresponding with your representatives; local, state, and national.
