A Challenge to TH Bloggers
This is an honest-to-goodness, in-your-face challenge to all of you who blog about the Obama, Pelosi and Reid’s dismantling of the U.S.A.
It’s all been said before; our government is no longer by or for “the people.” Under the current administration, it is for the liberals, the unions, and the special interests.
We’ve all blogged about the obfuscation, the “behind closed doors” deals, and the out and out lying that is apparent daily in Washington. We‘ve railed against the massive bills that are passed without being read. And we know that the Democrat majorities in the House and Senate allow them to pass legislation that goes against the wishes of the majority of the country’s citizens and, worse yet, violate the spirit and letter of the U.S. Constitution.
For the most part, our blogs are preaching to the choir. Have we made a difference? Have we changed anyone’s mind?
Unfortunately, the answer to both questions is probably “no.”
Recently, a small band of TH bloggers determined to make a difference. We formed the “We’re Watching You” group and we have developed a plan that really could impact the 2010 elections. Familiar names contributed to the project: Bobbie, dawndawn, The Adjuster, glnflwrs, Gray Ghost and Garnet92. We’ve also received encouragement and behind-the-scenes help from many other TH friends.
The concept is this: reduce the Democrat majority in the House by replacing some of its most vulnerable members. We’ve selected the ten most susceptible and will work to: 1) convince them that they are being monitored and they must not blindly follow Nancy Pelosi’s lead or we will work to replace them, and 2) we will encourage campaign contributions to their opponents to improve the chances that the incumbents will be replaced.
We believe this may be the quickest and most effective way to slow (or stop) the wholesale dismantling of America.
And before some suggest that there are also Republicans that should be replaced, we recognize that, but replacing a Specter/Snowe RINO with Ronald Reagan himself wouldn’t change the Democrat’s majority – they’d still control the House. Overturning the Democrat’s majority must be the first priority, we’ll get to the RINOs later.
Now, the choice is yours. You can create a new blog post complaining about the sorry state of current affairs – OR – you can join with us and actually DO something to take the country back.
Take those twenty or thirty minutes you would have spent on writing one new blog post and instead use that time to send ten letters to the selected House Democrats informing them that “We’re Watching You.” If we can influence some of these ten House members, we can begin to put the brakes on runaway spending and enactment of laws that we neither need or want.
This is an opportunity for you to step up and do more than complain. Go to our website www.werewatchingyou.net and check it out – see if you agree with us. If you do, download the letters and mail, fax, or e-mail them to the Democrat incumbents. THEN, you can sit back and revel in the knowledge that you have taken the first step to actually take this country back. Sending those letters will cost you nothing except a few minutes of your time.
It’s time to quit talking and actually DO SOMETHING.
