Someone posted the other day regarding a recent vote in which a handful of republicans once again voted in step with the dem agenda. Along with it was the usual call to write your congressman and threaten their jobs, "We'll vote you out!", which is funny considering recent events in the 2020 election. My congressman is J H Beutler (whatever.. don't care how it's spelled) and I have written to her on numerous occasions with nothing but canned replies back. The point here is that writing these RINOs is futile. They could give a shit what we think and our letters, calls, and emails go right in the trash without a second thought. They are not scared of losing, they think they are securing their positions by playing ball (useful idiots). So what is to be done?

After thinking about it a bit I wrote a scathing letter to my local republican committee. That got results. So to keep this short, as I tend to yammer on, I think that holding your local representation's feet to the fire is a much better solution than writing people who are so drunk with power that the plebs no longer make a difference in their voting decisions. Local party members are the ones who give us candidates.

I still personally think we need a viable 3rd party in this country, but we are stuck with what we have for the moment. Instead of beating uselessly on the door of the self-proclaimed elites, go after the people that select and endorse them right here at home. Remember, they can be voted in if they can't even get on the ballot in the 1st place, at least their chances diminish greatly without the blessing of the local republican party.
