As the Republican Party goes about deciding what it's going to do in order to regain the influence it once had, there's a subterranean movement afoot among free market, low-tax, low-regulation, pro-personal freedom activists seeking to reassert the influence their ideals once held in the GOP. Some elements are explicitly party-centered, while others have abandoned the notion that the Republicans can be changed from within and are seeking ways in which they can promote their beliefs among the voting public in order to force office seekers to come their way. The #dontgo movement is one of the latter stripe, which started as a relatively small number of activists using the social media service Twitter to broadcast updates on the floor protest among House members opposed to the leadership?s decision to go into summer recess before passing an energy bill. The name comes from the tag, #dontgo, which was inserted into each update to enable supporters of the protest to more easily follow the debate's progress. By entering the #dontgo identifier into Twitter's search function, activists could easily follow minute-by-minute updates from people on the ground at the site of the protest, which in many cases included House members and their staffs.

America doesn’t have so much of a taxing problem, as a spending problem. If spending were brought under control, there’d be no need for constant tax increases or deficit spending. And we’ll never bring the big spending items under control if we can’t even control the little stuff. Find out more at www.theoinkreport.com

“No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.” -Edmund Burke We do our entire country a disservice when we think that there’s no point in doing anything at all just because we can’t change Washington from the top down. Change starts locally. Change in Washington starts from the bottom and works it’s ways up. If you want better politicians in office at the federal level, elect better politicians in your community. We must: 1. Restore the Republican Party to a reputable, principled party. 2. Identify and train principled, conservative candidates for local office and help them campaign. 3. Remain active at the local level in politics. 4. Establish contact with other conservatives locally and form groups to network and share information. 5. Reach out to others in our community and show that conservatives are the ones that are bringing real hope and change.
