BTW, would you join the gopguerrillas.ning.com resource and send me your email and phone (or I will send you mine once we can contact in private) – I think a call or some emails may be in order and would like to give the CP project more prominent support on OAC. Perhaps you and ColdWarrior (whom I have spoken to could moderate a project there until you have your own site set up?)

I just emailed Blackwell asking him to appoint a liaison to our project.

Also, glad to see your article has been promoted to the front page today!

then click Wall. It shows a pointer to this page with a request for comments.

If I click his profile from his “fan” page it doesn’t show.

Thanks Martin for this wonderul diary and GREAT INFORMATION!

Information is fundamental!

Would really love to have him see this.

One suggestion I’d like to put out there is for getting information out to American military and citizens living/working abroad. They have a much stronger appreciation for the freedoms in our country than the college kids who did Obama’s footwork. As an expat in Kuwait, I hate seeing the things going on in my state and my country. We just moved here in March (my husband is a DOD contractor) and I missed the tea parties (screaming and gnashing of teeth). But there is a lot I can do online.

There are A LOT of people who would jump on this plan in a heartbeat. There’s no time to waste getting it off the ground. Let me know what I can do to help. This plan gives me hope. More so than the New America thing.

You said something in that conversation that bears discussion here.

You said that there were no instructions on the AZ GOP web site on how to become a PC. With 4,000 PC vacancies in your county alone, it’s a deplorable indication of how this party is being led to note that it never occurred to AZ party leaders to use their web site to recruit PCs.

Indeed, you told me on that call that the GOP cadre in AZ did not possess the password to change their own web site, as the site was done by someone ‘a little hard to get ahold of these days’. Too many state and county sites are run this way, alas!

I promise you it’s not just the AZ leaders who are asleep at the switch – here in LA County in CA, Hilda Solis (D) ran unopposed in her district in 2008. Let’s see if the LA GOP can get a candidate for a district without an incumbent this time, now that Solis is in the Cabinet! I’m going to be asking them about this – very pointedly.

Come on back over to gopguerrillas.ning.com and give us a push soon, OK?

BTW, just contacted Blackwell and asked him to appoint a liaison to OAC so all our offices are all down-home in touch and everything.

Kindest Regards!

You don’t hear a lot about us lately because even as the primary ambassador, I’ve had my head down writing code a lot! As we note at our ning, we are about getting some coding (work) done, not about blogging (but we value bloggers).

I will return to my ambassadorial/evangelism duties very soon but am deep into a coding project that will automate some of our publicity functions; a project that can actually add value to your own blogging activities, dear reader!

Read about it at the OAC site and feel free to copy and use the RSS gadget presented to publish the RSS feeds you like in any ning space you may belong to such as …

The Patriotic Resistance – www.resistnet.com
Team Sarah – www.teamsarah.org
The Conservative Underground = www.tcunation.com

If you go to gopguerrillas.ning.com and look around, you may get the sense that it is a deserted desert (with many old dates, etc.) but that is not the case. Our work is not blogging – it is coding. So if you are a blogger and want to help, come on over and help us keep our ning site fresh – we need help of all kinds – right now we need bloggers more than we need coders!

Again, thank you Martin, and thank you for not being fooled by our blogging inactivity into thinking we’d gone away.

Does the RNC really want a stronger grassroots force?

In short, personal integrity of the moderates vis-a-vis the Republican cause is always questionable. Campaign staffer’s personal belief always plays an important role in shaping our message and strategy to the voters. People with strong dedication to the conservative cause and strong personal accountability to the Party are the only ones who should be entrusted with key positions.

However, I share your concern. Most people in 2008 campaign were moderates. Some of McCain staffers were actually democrats trapped in McCain’s campaign.. I remember this liberal newscaster (Maddow or Campbell) who blatantly called the attention of McCain that her brother was actually a member of his campaign. In addition, I remember that there was a McCain guy who was accused of molesting a boy during the campaign in 2008.

In short, personal integrity of the moderates vis-a-vis the Republican cause plays an important role in shaping our message and strategy. Dedication to the conservative cause and strong personal accountability to the Party who should only be entrusted with key positions. Josh Painter is right on the issue (see his comment on WTH’s diary):

So let us welcome anyone to come in under the big tent. And let everyone have a voice. But it’s time for the gavel to be passed to the conservatives. It’s our turn now.
