I recently read ‘Conservatives Betrayed’, a book written by Richard Vigeurie. In the book, Mr. Vigeurie states “When you look at third party efforts on the Right, whether of the Libertarian Party or Constitution Party variety, you can perhaps agree with their platforms and principles more than with those of the Republican Party – but as minority parties they have next to zero influence on national policy”. I agree with this statement and think we must correct this.
The majority of Americans are conservative in nature, and believe in the traditional values which make America great, whether they acknowledge it or not. The majority are patriotic, believe in God and country, are individualistic and prefer limited government. For most that embrace these values, the Republican Party has been their choice for representation. Unfortunately, the current Republican Party no longer represents these values and the minority parties truly have no influence.
Conservative Americans must understand that they are a block without a party. Since the administration of Richard Nixon, EVERY Republican president has expanded the federal government and increased the national debt, Reagan included. In fact every administration since Kennedy has expanded the Federal bureaucracy and every president has increased the Federal Debt. This is not the representation we seek, but is the representation we allow. We, the majority of Americans, regardless of party affiliation, must unite as one compelling force in order to stop this continuing slide into debt and see America regain the greatness it has lost in recent years.
We who believe in the American way of life have got to find amid our ranks, people capable of bringing all Americans of conservative nature together. We must appeal to the conservative minded majority, to join with us in ONE strong party, to not only regain America but to rid this country of big government, tax and spend professional politicians. The Tea Party movement is the beginning, but we must keep it going and make our voices heard starting with the election in November and all future elections until the entrenched representatives get the message -- You can’t continue to act with impunity and a sense of entitlement. You can’t continue to saddle the American citizen with debt and burdensome laws which do nothing but increase your shield of entitlement.
We must create new beginning to signal that we intend to make government smaller, leaner and stronger. We have to unite to end expanding taxes and outrageous irresponsible spending. We must return to limited government which provides for the necessary protection of all Americans with a strong military, but is limited to the protection of our shores and operates within the limits of our constitution. We must stop the heavy handed promotion of democracy throughout the world it is neither our right nor our responsibility.
We must send the message that we are a free society, and believe in free market capitalism. We must p[resent the case that we are able to succed through our efforts, but when we fail, it is our responsibility. We have to let businesses fail when they are not able to operate efficiently, but we must eliminate regulation which forces private companies to operate inefficiently. We must stop the government from taking control of and operating banks and businesses. We need a fair and flat tax to eliminate the legislators ability to use the tax code to manipulate the population. Most importantly, we must put an end to the entrenched professional politicians and return to the citizen legislator who comes, serves out of a sense of duty to country then returns to the private sector. We do not need or want our politicians to make a career of representation.
We must find and nominate candidates who can uphold these standards of governance and personal conduct. We must go out into our communities and locate these leaders. The leaders will stand out and make themselves known. They will most likely be reluctant to participate, but we have to push them out of a sense of duty.
When the majority realize the political leadership of both the Republican and Democratic parties will not allow this, that this will threaten their power base, conservative Americans need to sit down with members of the Republican, Libertarian and Constitution parties and Blue Dog Democrats, and other serious Americans, determine that we are all in basic agreement, then unite as one strong party for the good of the country. The time is right and the groundswell is occurring. America must return to greatness and only by working together and promoting constitutional values can it be done. We need to get something going soon before the elite politicians in charge of the current parties drown us all in a sea of debt.
Conservatives from all parties, including Dem Blue Dogs will accept a new party with a new name and a new beginning easier than fighting to remove the traditional Republican power structure. The true American conservative -- the majority of Americans -- will embrace an inclusive party which consolidates the ideals and objectives of limited government that our founders imagined as they debated the Bill of rights and Constitution.

We the people, the truly patriotic American majority, need to reclaim our country from sure disaster at the hands of professional politicians who are more interested in securing their power base than promoting the American way of life. We must make known our desires for a new beginning.
A new party with all new leaders offers a chance to accomplish this. The staus quo does not. We need to get something going soon before the leadership in charge of the Republican and Democratic parties drown us all in a sea of indebtedness.
