I always advocate two ways for the Republican Party to regain its footing.  The first is the increasingly popular notion that we must get back to our core beliefs of limited government and fiscal responsibility.  Thankfully the Party leaders are getting the point due to the overwhelming efforts of citizens throughout the Country.  The other way for the GOP to improve itself is in its branding.  The Democrats have terrible branding as a Party but great branding for its Leader.  Pres. Obama is sustaining the Democrats much in the same way a mother bird will hunt for a worm, catch it, then go back to the nest and feed its young.  Pres. Obama knows how to speak to everyday Americans and he is taking his platforms straight to them while Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of the gang hang up their pictures of Chairman Mao and plot to “change” America from the evil Capitalist Democracy which they so hate.

Republicans, on the other hand, just can’t get their message out as well as the President does.  Yes the press conferences and television appearances are important and they are doing that but I’m talking about something stronger and more meaningful.  First, I would like to see some of the old faces less and some of the newer faces more.  I would like to see the Party embrace Young Republicans and incorporate them into the GOP system more.  Obama is taking his platforms on the road and holding townhall meetings, so should we.  I want to see someone speaking to Americans and answering questions from them.  I don’t want to see a man in a suit read off statistics to a crowd that can barely stay awake.  Roll up your sleeves and get involved.  I want to see a Republican gathering of all ages protesting the out of control spending in Washington.  Once you remind Americans of the differences between Liberals and Conservatives, they will return to the Party.  But first we need to get out there and step up.
