The New Battle: A Convening of Conservative Warriors
Today begins the new battle for Conservatism. There is only one place to start and that is with Republicans in Congress.
Let us not think back on the past weaknesses of our Conservative leaders. Now is the time to demand boldness from them.
Let us encourage the Republican wing of Congress to get to the microphones, write editorials, send emails, seek out Conservative radio, and take on the subtle issues that are designed to move Conservatism off the map.
Let us know that while the Conservative voice is not strong enough to make “all the difference,” it is strong enough to make “some difference.”
Let us get to know the Committees of Congress, identify the Conservative members and stay in contact with them. Let us know the Bills coming to Committee, have a feel for their dispensation and make our arguments directly to the Conservative Committee members. Let us never allow our Senators and Representatives to bow to the Majority without putting up a loud fight – strongly making the Conservative case. Even when we lose – let them hear from us.
Let us know all we can about the United Nations. Let us note every word uttered about the U.N., by our President and our U.N. Ambassador. Blog about it. Watch it. Blog about it even more.
Let us be informed about Senator Obama’s Global Poverty Bill (s.2433). Let us get to know that Bill intimately. Let us determine how tying the U.N.’s Millennium Goals to that Bill can be imposed on America. Let us have conversations with our Conservative Congressmen about s.2433.
Let us renew the cry for Drill Here, Drill Now. This issue has not been defeated with an Obama-Biden win, but there is no doubt the struggle will be long and hard. Let us not make the battle easy for Liberals.
Let us demand that all those executives complicit in the bailout be known and punished. This must not fade away, lost in the helpless feeling that we can do nothing. We need a battle cry.
Let us not throw up our hands and wait for the next election. Our Senators and Representatives receive a paycheck from us, and it has not been money well spent. Let us make them work for their pay, and in doing so, let us help them strengthen their voice in the hallowed halls of our Capitol.
Let us not just lie down and take it. Let us offer daily support against Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi. Let us be in IM mode.
Finally, let us continue to seek answers to the questions we’ve been asking about Senator Obama’s background. There will be a groundswell now to put all that behind us and move forward. If there is nothing worthy to be disputed, I’ll accept that, but not until I know.
As I write this, Fox News has a clip of last night’s rally for Obama in Grant Park. In the center of the screen is the red flag of Communism – the hammer and sickle flag is physically being help up for the camera.

The problem is that Conservatives have jobs, families, church responsibilities. Obama has the rabble, the accursed mob. We won’t quit our jobs to fight, and they will never jobs one now that Obama is their Master. We have sold democracy out to fools. Now the fools have voted themselves in to power they neither earned nor deserved. Who imagines they can use it to good purpose?
Hamas has started celebrating with rockets, aimed at Israel. Their man won. This election is nothing more than the triumph of the jihadi and the welfare queens.
Thank you!
This is exactly what I needed this morning. A plan,a call to action, something to do to be a participant in the solution instead of wringing my hands.
I lost my faith last night, but it doesn’t need to remain lost. This is a wonderful idea.
What more do we have to lose?
I’m a little rusty at all this, so I might need some guidance on where and how to start. Please, let me know what you want me to do.
I hear a lot of people saying they’re going to mortgage their houses to the hilt and put the money in off-shore accounts.
It might be time to look into leaving the US. It has left us.
I wish it were so that as the first commenter says, that “Obama only has the rabble”. Unless you think that 54 percent of all Americans are “rabble” that simply was not the case. Fact is, most American voters preferred Barack Obama to John McCain.
It’s not our country any more.
So, Ummmm already gearing up for the “Fairness Doctrine”, with deleting my comment?
And you wonder why the Conservative Movement, is done. No back talking, follow orders and shut up right?
RR,
You’ve been a regular commenter to this blog long enough to know that profanity is not posted.
Stop with the “victimology” crap, I’m tired of it.
The elector of saxony: You said it well, BUT we still have time to make our voices heard. It will be harder now, but let’s face it, our Congressmen haven’t listened for years.
We must focus on the biggest issues, and pay attention to every word and every Bill coming out of the Hill. For right now, this is the most we can do.
Terry, thanks for the kind words. Until the next election, we can only do, what we can do. When we think about it, the Democrats made lots of noise when they were not in power. We can do the same.
Vel, there are many places online where you can find all the information concerning your Congress Men and Women. On the website of each, their Committees are listed.
There are sources that list each new Bill introduced and all the Bills waiting around for action. We need to know what these are, what Committee they are in, determine how we feel about each and let our Representatives and Senators know.
Usually, a Bill is passed before we know it’s even introduced. We never have a chance to know the pork attached. I’m suggesting that we be more aware of proposed Legislation, and then contact Washington by email or fax.
I’m working on a post with contact information and ideas. Maybe it will offer some ideas. Give me a couple of days.
Thanks for your interest.
