From Jewish World Review, here is the excellent Alicia Colon on
conservatives going local:
. . . The Republican
National Committee hasn't a clue on how to reach the low-info voters that
continually vote for the Democrats. Until they find a savvy political activist
like the late Lee Atwater, I will not donate my measly dollars to it or any
other establishment GOP organization.
It should be a given
that the mainstream media has no journalistic integrity and is just a partisan
mouthpiece for this administration and its Kool-aid cabinet. There are,
however, ways to outsmart the Alinskeyites but the GOP is so entrenched in
mediocrity and poor leadership that they throw away opportunities to take back
the country. It needs to look past the Ivy League alumnae as fodder for its
activism and embrace the grassroots because that's where our salvation will
come from.
. . .
. . . Here's a reality check for
conservatives. We know what's going on in our country because we watch Fox
News, log onto terrific informative online sites like the Drudgereport.com,
lucianne.com, Daily Caller, Newsbusters.com, National Review Online; American
Thinker and of course Jewish World Review. Thanks to the Internet we
have access to the U.K's Daily Mail and Telegraph and Canada's Free Press. Half
of the country does not visit these truth tellers so how do we get them to know
the truth is out there?
So much money is
spent on advertising in the markets that our choir listens to. Why waste money
there? Outsmart the media by advertising great, informative, attractive, ballsy
ads on the stations that the low-info voters watch and listen to, e.g.-MTV,
BET, TMV and talk shows.
I'm completely
baffled by these focus groups that I watch on Fox that are so predictable
because they are filled with educated middle to upper class attendees. Why not
go into the inner cities and offer cash for the opinion of the people there?
Find out how they get their information, whom they respect and just offer them
the truth. Tell them about the racist history of the Democrat Party and that it
has been the Republicans and Lincoln's party that has always been for civil
rights. We need good community leaders that can host town hall meetings to
promote the party's agenda to show how it benefits those communities.
That's how the Democrats operate but we will offer them the truth not BS.
The GOP has to get
off their high horse and stop avoiding the underclass. These are people who
have been made to feel like victims by politicians who have conned them into
thinking the government is their only resource. We have excellent role models
for them in the Republican Party whose inspiring stories they have never heard
of. Has the RNC reached out to Lloyd Marcus or Alfonzo Rachel? They certainly
haven't recruited me except to ask for funding. What a joke. I just send those
letters back with "I AM BROKE" written in black marker. We can throw
block parties in the inner cities to show off our stars. Spend money to improve
these areas. Instead of having fundraisers in Vegas or deluxe restaurants,
support local businesses, hire people from the area for these events. It will
take time but the only way for the GOP to undo the demonizing by the media is
to get up and personal with all the electorate.
As for the
conservative base, it needs to stop whining about the liberal bias and start
supporting those battling for the truth. It doesn't take much, just a few
dollars from each of the millions of readers to sustain those struggling voices
of truth. If you enjoy getting the truth online, look for the site's donation
button. If it doesn't have any, don't complain about those ads because that's
supporting the site. Frequent the businesses through the site and help them
survive.
2014 may be our last
chance to oust the Obama minions and sycophants from office so get involved and
help spread the truth. If you're not physically able, open your wallets and
support the grass root challengers.
