We have our work cut out for us!
If there was ever a time for groups like ours to band together again in common cause, it's now. If you're new, we'd like to invite you to join and share your commentary. Townsquare Net has a noble bloodline of Conservative Activists throughout the nation. We forged the Network first when Townhall was active on Meetup.com. Some of us opened websites, some formed Yahoo groups, we migrated to Townhall.com and some of us maintained Townhall Meetups in many cities.
For the benefit of our members who didn't receive this weekend's email, allow me to share some comments to our some of our oldest and most ardent members.
John… Great to hear novatownhall.com in Northern Virginia is alive and well. Hillsboro is lucky to have you there. Your comments to Tracy are right on target. Please do what you can to spread the word about our attempt to revitalize our former network and add new folks to it. I hope to have some exciting news for all of us in the days ahead.
Tracy --- I remember you saying once: “I just have one word of advice, think independently!” The GOP has many lessons to learn if we’re to return some sanity to government. We’re back to 1994 only with far greater challenges. We must be able to disagree without being disagreeable. Conservatives can no longer afford the luxury or effects of infighting. It cost us dearly in this past election. Tracy, you’re a charter member of our family and I hope you’ll stick with us.
Our Founding Fathers were not without the same problem. John Adams didn’t win many popularity contests. Jefferson was seen as an elitist by some. But guess what… to whom do we turn to today for sage advice: In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: “Banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
Amazing insight!
