Land of the Oppressed

I am a young Republican female. We are the minority of the minority. I am used to feeling opposition from Dems every day. But opposition from my own party?

It has been brought to my attention that the Republican party is turning on itself.

I have been receiving calls all day from constituents on the ground level feeling disgruntled and dissatisfied with Republican leadership. This I can understand. Not enough Congressional support has been given to the bills by Lee, Cruz, and Paul to defund Obamacare. But then the constituents go as far as telling me that they will “never again vote for a Republican.”

What exactly do they think this will do?

Perhaps people don’t understand that one Congressman cannot singlehandedly defund a law or impeach a president. It takes a united effort to affect change. Abandoning the cause will absolutely NOT help.

I have heard talk of “revolution” among constituents as well. While this is an interesting idea, I highly doubt the Republican Party could muster the numbers to enact such an event.

So what can we do?

Voting Republicans into as many offices as possible is a step that every citizen can take at the local level. Little by little we can strive to take back this country from the corrupt leadership currently in control.

Voting for Republican Senators in 2014 is perhaps the most important thing we can do in coming years. With a Republican House and a Republican Senate, we could finally pass some of the bills to defund Obamacare.

Remember our Republican values.  Engage a liberal in a debate. Let them know that the GOP is still here and is still fighting for what is right.

The point is, the GOP cannot give up. We are all aware of the unconstitutional actions of the Executive Branch today and we cannot sit back and let it happen. America is a DEMOCRACY. We stand on the principles that founded our nation and will not fall victim to a presidency that is rapidly evolving into a dictatorship.

America is the land of the free, not the land of the oppressed.
