It is everyday Americans, the ones that D.C. has perfected in ignoring, that are involved. But the MSM can't handle the fact that those citizens in fly-over country that the media's elite ranks so quickly dismiss, are not as stupid as they think we are. All politics are local. And it is time to take our new Clown In Chief's advise; work from the bottom up. And there are some simple steps to changing what we don't like: For lack of a better name, have a Constitution party at your home. Invite friends and neighbors over for iced tea (?) to discuss how you want your local community run. As your group grows, and it will, invite speakers. People like history and pro-Constitution professors from your local college. Ask local judges, county sheriffs, police chiefs, mayors and city council members to come speak and be open to questions. Find out how your government works. Appoint people to attend city council and county commissioner's court meeting. Find out what they are doing. Take names on who is looking to raise your taxes, your utility bill, etc. Have someone do a legislative "watch" in your state. If you know what a bill says, you can make a informed decision as to is worth. Notify your state representative that your group is for/against the bill. The best advertising in the world is word of mouth. For generations we have just blithely gone about the business of everyday life and not really paid too much attention to the power grap that has been going on in D.C. for generations. It is time to change that. Mac, this movement is not Republican, Democrat or Libertarian. It is everyday Americans, the ones that D.C. has perfected in ignoring, that are involved.
