Showing Party Support
I went to a Republican District Christmas get together the other night. My first observation was that aside from me and a guy running for Congress, none of the other 20 people in the room had on anything with the GOP logo ... not even a pin.
Folks, if we are going to create interest in the Republican Party, we need to show that there are indeed, those who are proud enough and dedicated enough to the ideals of Republicanism that we are willing to WEAR THE BRAND.
We'll wear brand names on our clothes such as Wrangler and Nike. We'll drive around and advertise Chevy and Honda. But God forbid we leave the house donning a Republican logo.
What are your reasons for not wearing the Republican logo? Post your comments here.
In Support of Elected Officials
Next, let's talk about showing our support for those Republicans in office who do the right thing. Whenever a Republican official makes a tough decision - that is the right decision- although it's an unpopular decision, we MUST publicly, enmasse, show our support. Too often, a Republican will do the right thing and vote against a tax hike even though it will mean a cut in services. And then he/she is left twisting in the wind because no one is willing to support them. So the next time, that elected official isn't so willing to stick their neck out.
We want smaller government.
We want less taxes.
We want a return to personal responsibility.
To reverse the direction of this great Titanic we are on will take some time and it will mean that there is going to be some pain. We can no longer afford to say, "Do what you have to do as long as it doesn't affect me and it's not in my backyard."
If we truly want what is best for this coutry and future generations, we must let our elected Republican officials know that we not only expect them to do the right thing ... but we will also support them and help insulate them from the political backlash that will surly come.

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.This made me very glad!

I fully agree with the author’s points. Nowadays nobody bothers to wear a republican badge. Everybody claims that he or she is a republican but no one is ready to show it. To put it plainly they are not bothered about it. I think it is high time that the republican heavyweights do some serious thinking about this issue. I found this blog really interesting. A really valid point is raised by the author. I hope that such thought provoking blogs will come in the future also.

I think that more people need to be supportive of their country. Whether they donate to charity or they vote, no matter how big or small I think that a little help can go a long way.
