The Power Grab at the RNC and This Election

Morton Blackwell’s three recent letters on the unprecedented power grab at the RNC can be found at this link to the Red State blog.

Jim’s and my views are remarkably similar to Mr. Blackwell’s. At this dire time, we cannot allow ourselves to be distracted by an issue which is meaningless until the election of 2016. We have two short months to work to elect Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Romney is certainly not my first or second choice for the Oval Office, however, even the thought of President Obama in office for another four years is not acceptable and would mean the end of Individual liberty and the American experiment begun 236 years ago. The government takeover of the private sector as exemplified by the health care and automobile industries is just the tip of the iceberg as far as this President’s socialist policies are concerned. He is an ardent proponent of statist government over individual rights and freedoms–a philosophy which has proven disastrous to the freedom and lives of individuals in every place and time it has been tried.

We must unite to elect Romney in spite of the vitriol and voter fraud that they will bring against us during the next 60 days. Grassroots conservatives of all bents, TEA Party, 9-12, Libertarians, Ron Paul supporters as well as Republicans must work together to remove this current President from office. Then, and only then, should we tackle the ill-timed and ill-advised power grab that took place last week in Tampa at the RNC. We must be American Statesmen and patriots united in the common cause of Liberty during these next two months to begin the process of healing our economy and rediscovering the power of the individual that is our birthright. Purchased with the blood of our ancestors and Founding Fathers, freedom will not long remain in America if we continue to equate The extremism of Obama with Romney’s weaknesses. To do this is simply unacceptable to our future and the future of our children and grandchildren. It would be like equating the evil of a mass murderer with that of a petty thief. There is an unfathomable degree of difference between the two.

Once we remove Obama from the White House, then we can work together on restoring the vision of an America in which individuals are free to pursue their dreams in a landscape unmarked by an overweening government that insists on robbing Peter to pay Paul and on creating winners over losers to win reelection by way of back room deals instead of legislating for the good of all.

I hope to be fighting for a conservative victory with all of my grassroots brethren over the course of the next two months, rather than capsizing suddenly into the slime and mire of a socialist state by refusing to slow the progress of the progressivism with which we are threatened. Join me in this fight for liberty today, and we will continue to work together to keep the Republican Party open to the renewal of the nascent grassroots revival of constitutionalism and liberty afterwards. Fail, and it will not matter…

I pledge my life and the future of my children and their children to see today’s fight through to November. Will you join me?
