The stakes in our political life have never been higher. A resurgent Left has its bureaucratic and public-union thumbs around our economy's windpipe and is using its recent capture of Congress and the Presidency to finish its goal of turning the entire country into a one-party blend of Chicago boss-driven politics and California detached-from-reality spending.
A. E. Duzett provides us with a handy guide on how each of us, yes - you and me, can get involved and work effectively to regain control of the government and restore sanity to government spending, taxing, and regulation.
The first thing you read is why your excuses for not getting involved are wrong and don't matter because you do matter and your getting involved is vital. We won't be able to fix things in just one election cycle. This fight is going to take many cycles and will last for many years.
You then get a practical guide on how to get others registered to vote, mobilized, and how to raise funds in order to run for office or help those you support run for office. There is also lots of handy information on how to work with the media, including the new media.
I also like the focus on local politics and working from those front lines to Washington rather than starting with the distant Federal Behemoth. And you young conservatives can get information on how to matter on your campus. Yes, nearly every campus is heavily weighted to support liberal views, but you can make a wonderful difference. Here's how.
The next step is influencing legislation and how to get attention from your Representative. But this will only matter if you have helped create an environment that produces support for views you support and your Representatives can only ignore with great risk to their re-election.
I think this is a very useful and handy guide. Getting involved is easier than you think. You know you really want to. So, get this book and let's change your city, state, and then the country.
