you are in large part preaching to the converted. We love you for it.

Please also make this into a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Send it the the RNA, RSCC and RCCC and send it to any one (or more) of your elected officials who happens to be a Republican - or if you are unfortunate enough to one of those two Dem Lites in the House as your Rep.

While they will likely not pay attention, at least it will represent a POV much different from that they usually receive. The more that happens, the more likely they are to begin to pay attention.

My late mother, a staunch lifelong Democrat, signed up for many Republican organizations - so that she could see what drivel the "leaders" were sending out to the "faithful" - and that was in the days when the GOP was still comparatively sane. I haven't got the strength for that (and already receive WAY too much political spam). I do at least try to weigh in on occasion with the RNC. But it is truly like being a very small whisper swept away by the wind in an infinite wilderness of insanity.
