This cause – “No Pardon or Clemency for George Ryan” – was passed along to me in light of my article yesterday, and now I’m passing it along to you. It can be donated to: all donations go to the Better Government Association. The creator of it is himself a RedState reader and occasional diarist, so check it out.
If you’re wondering why I’m linking to a cause found on a social networking site that you don’t yourself use, you’re wondering about the wrong thing. What you should be wondering is why you’re not on that and other social networking sites yourself, particularly if you’re eager to go full-metal grassroots activist for 2010 and beyond. These places are not substitutes for working in your state and local GOP offices… but they’re darn good supplements, and if your goal is increased communication you need to start thinking like a communicator.
So go to it, then.

PS: Don’t go too far with it, of course. Your state and local GOP offices do need your help.

And the same goes for Stevens

In addition to our advice about not pardoning Gov. Ryan, I would offer the same advice for Sen. Ted Stevens as well.
Sen. Stevens was convicted by jury of his peers for self dealing and abusing the trust placed in him by the citizens of Alaska. To pardon him now would be a strong message that if you know the right people, the law nor the consequences of violating the law apply to you. This would not only harm the party you claim to love and cherish, but more importantly, it would damage the country’s trust in their elected officials to honor the rule of law.
Please don’t do it.
Wouldn't surprise me if he did

Don’t leave the party, hijack it back!
The only poll that counts is the one at the ballot box.
I don’t want to be Reagan. I want to be a Chance/Soros hybrid.
