America is on the brink of Socialism/Communism and some 912 folks are, in my opinion, wasting way too much time and print on this topic. It will be absolutely irrelevant if we don't take the country back in 2010. I believe that EVERY effort from 912 and Tea Party Americans should be directed toward their ideas on how to win local, State, and National elections in 2010. You all demonstrate sound and reasonable thinking. I feel your efforts should be redirected, at least for now.

Are they currently doing what Canmandan and I are? Do any of you have friends and/or relatives in other cities around NYS that might be willing to start up a 912 group in their area? I am currently working with a friend from the Binghampton area. Remember, the founding fathers despised the concept of government by royalty. That's why we have a President, not a king. And that is precisely why we have a legislative branch. Maobama may think and act like he's king, but a solid Conservative, Libertarian, Republican or any other party to the right of Democrats Senate or House would defang him and give reality to our dreams of pulling America back from the precipice of Communism. Right now, at this time in American history, we desparately need a big victory. Pooling our patriotism is a winning strategy. We can fight about who is more American later.

All that changes next year. I am currently putting some bucks aside each week and will send it out next "season" to a few politicians. Pat Toomey of Penn. is running for Arlan Spector's seat. This is a MUST win for all of us. I will also give to whoever runs against Dick Durbin in Conn. My info is that he is in real trouble. What a message that would send to all Democrats and Socialists ( believe it or not, I'm not being redundant). I will also continue to write editorials exposing "Chuckie" Schumer for the fraud he is and contribute time and effort towards his defeat. Yes, it can and must be done!!!

Bill Nojay does a talk show starting at 2:00 (or somewhere in that neighborhood) each week day. I believe his show is repeated in the evening. It's VERY educational and quite entertaining.

I am one of only 158 registered Conservatives in my Rupublican rural county of about 50,000 folks. I have been a registered Conservative since the Carter administration. In my view, anyone who moves to the Right, regardless of degree, is a part of the solution to America's slide (free fall) into Communism. My hat is off to Canmandan. He is far more professional at detailing the purpose of my origional comment. His comments are a MUST READ for anyone visiting this web site. We are in an epic battle for the very soul of America. We must put forth every effort to defeat as many of our key opponents in 2010 as we can. If we don't, there may not be a second choice in 2012.

I do not understand why 912 is fostering anti Conservatice action. Do you folks not realize that we are basically all on the same team? This sounds like the pervibial child crying "well I saw it first!" You are playing directly in to the hands of the enemy. We will divide and conquer ourselves if this continues.
