Let me give you all my assessment of the problem.. (without the "G" word). The problem is with corrupt leadership. This said leadership tromps on everyone. Each of those everyones is sensitive to a particular boot in the butt. Y'all respond when the boot comes down on the 2nd Amendment. Another group parental rights, another health care, school choice and on and on with the various issue groups. But it's ONE set of folk doing this and we have hundred's of little issue groups out there saying "oh, let's stick within the framework (cage) we've created for ourselves." You could think of it analogous to WW2 with each of the NATO countries being their own issue. USA was very isolationist and we found out how well that works. Issue groups are ISOLATIONIST. There are hundreds of groups of ALLIES out there who will march with you, fight with you, do GOTV with you.. BUT, only IF you open up to recognizing we cannot beat this ONE SET of folk doing all the damage if we do not UNITE and reach out beyond our own issue. . I'll tell you, the folk who are fighting abortion I work with on School Choice, and I support R v Wade. They know it, I respect their POV and they mine, but while we are in UNIFORM fighting another battle we don't focus on our differences, but we focus on what UNITES us. ie: Limited constitutional Government, fiscal and personal responsibility, support of the free market. Your group is just ONE of the many Troops out there around the state trying to get rid of that one set of bad leaders and replace them with better ones. You for 2nd Amd, others for their own reasons. As I tell folk, you don't have to LIKE each other, (I don't think Patton & MontGomery liked each other very much). or even agree with each other on any particular issue as long as you're fighting for the constitution (for any reason) you are a potential ally for the overall grass roots AMERICAN movement. . I'll tell ya something else (like it or not), I went in the Navy at 18 in 1970 and was an Air Traffic Controller, not a nurse or clerk, and I fought (literally) for my place and my RIGHT to serve. When I got to A-School the Marine Gunny told me in no uncertain terms "You bring any girly sissy hurt-feelings crap into MY house and I'll boot your a$$". My base commander had a naked Barbie doll on his desk, and you navy boys know the jokes about Waves-tempertaure-ocean... So I don't really care all that much if someone's sensitivities are flustered. THIS IS A WAR for the future of AMERICA... Feeling are not important.. and ACTION plan is. . It's TIME to step out and get busy and stop jawing the problems to death. To build the GOTV infrastructure we need to WIN. I'd love to recruit you ALL as a group to join the greater effort. But, if you choose to come, leave your personal sensitivities at the door, and let's focus on the mission at hand. Not irrelevancies. You can find me on Face Book.. Nora Craig If any of you are serious about roll up selves and getting hand dirty send a friend request and we'll chat. I had great hopes that a group of MEN, many of you veterans, would have the appreciation for, and understanding of military discipline, to help provide a strong backbone around which we could form the district efforts we need. Y'all chew on that. I'll go back to praying. (and running my mouth, as ordered). Hugs Thanks to djg0070... Got your 6 anytime, Bro. Nora

So it was a mixed metaphor.. Shoot me <grin> Don't you guys SEE what the PC crowd has done to you? You are SCARED... AFRAID... Oh, Heaven forbid we say things we believe in our hearts..... I have prayed to MY God for relief for the poor, those being beggared by taxation, for the children who's live are being DESTROYED by those in power today that deny them their futures... And some of you want to **** about me using my PRAYERS to get this done? Maybe I'm in the wrong place and should just go elsewhere where folk have the COURAGE OF THEIR CONVICTIONS and are not AFRAID to say it! It NO WONDER we are in the mess we're in when you get JUMPED by saying you PRAY....

Ancient Aliens is fine by me. <grin> Makes no never mind what religion you are <or lack thereof> as long as your heart is in the right place. We who served pledged to defend.. and defend we must, for whatever personal reasons we might have. Anyone who's offended by me saying "My boss is GOD", well, that's their problem. I'm not offended if they prefer the space travelers theory, I happen to be a Si-Fi nut. <g>

Well, BOYS <grin> Sexism doesn't bother me.. some dude get's a bit too uppity I'll just clock 'em. <LOL> You are RIGHT... image is everything when you are out politick'n. Which is why I've got the suit and not my muck boots and FLANNEL shirt <re:nasty liberal comment on NU.COM about guys in flannel>. But I won't give up the hat.. <grin. hate the whole hair do thing... waste of time at 60+> If you boys want a plan, and if you want to play with me, and IF you are utterly dedicated to it, then I'm your girl. I'm a strategic planner <insert 8 page resume here> summarized to say I did BIG projects.. Megga-elephant size where the scope of the effort easily intimidates most folk. I don't intimidate worth a damn, and I've dedicated the rest of my life to FIXING New Jersey. You give me a good senior officer command team, and then you slot into the battle plan that team creates, where you fit as individuals, and we CAN do this thing. It takes organization, commitment, funding, and COURAGE to fight city hall. I intend to do that, with ya or by myself, as the Lord dictates. BUT... we do NOT plan strategy HERE where trolls are watching.. that is a security strategy failure to the max. BOYS... I had a conversation with God a while back. (If you think THAT's weird, get me to the 3rd glass of wine and telling stories.) The gist of it was "OK, God... you want me to go out and run my mouth... THAT I can do... but I'd need an army to put a dent in this.. that's YOUR job, the providing part." So my question to this group is: ARE you the Christian Soldiers who are willing to do battle with me against Goliath with slings and rocks? Our slings are us, our rocks are our voices, our feet, our passion to see rightness return to our society. If so then that general staff group needs to meet... like NOW. What say you all? Are you boys willing to follow where a GIRL leads?????

<grin> I'll have to get my kid to help.. the scroll thing just doesn't work.. Oh well. Thanks again for the pat on the head. What I was planning on talking about was having any gun registration data base at all... had a nice pitch all planned.. oops... I just got mad because I know how the bus people got suckered. What a scam that whole hearing was. What was utterly MARVELOUS was seeing all of you there. At the Rowan/Rutgers hearing I was the ONLY citizen that testified and Soro tried to shut me out of that.. "OH NO YOU DON'T close this meeting... I've been here ALL DAY!" Grrrrrr. I did have fun when I went outside for a smoke and spoke to all who couldn't get in. It's YOU GUYS who we need to get active all the time, not just for gun rights as it's the SAME idiots screwing the kids in the inner city by not passing school choice. The same guys killing us with property taxes by NOT supporting fair per/child tuition allowance based funding. It's the same guys who allow 90% of the Medicaid money to go somewhere.... only 10% gets to the doctors and care givers. Double Grrrrrrr. What we are pushing this 2013 election cycle, as ALL 120 legislative seats are up for election, is for folk to register as DEMOCRAT candidates in Dem incumbent districts and primary against them. It doesn't take $$$$ just 100 signatures (in district). We don't expect folk to win, the point is to be a pain in the ass and drain their resources.... to MAKE A POINT that there are people willing to stand up and fight against them vs rolling over like a bunch of wossies. <g>

FYI.. one of the TP folk is putting together U-Tube clips of each 2 minute testimony segment. She said ----> "His YouTube channel is HAGGZ51. Whoops - it may be HAGG251."

Hi Chv... and all of you. Thank you so much for all your kind words on this thread. It's so sweet of all of ya. Now, if someone could tell me how to listen to just the piece of the hearing (not all 6 hours AGAIN... AHHHHH) then I'll actually be able to find out what I said. LOL
