Unity and social networking are
essential to the Liberty movements in the United States if they hope
to build on their earlier successes. While it is true that most Tea
Party style groups are fiercely independent and fear being placed
under the banner of a larger national movement that does not carry
the same 'grassroots' feel of their smaller, homegrown groups.
The problem we run into when we try to
remain in our isolated camps is that we are sometimes unable to
effect the level of change that we want. For example, candidate A is
from Smithville. He is running for a statewide senate seat in the
upcoming election. The local tea party groups in Smithville put forth
an enormous amount of effort to get him elected. They perhaps
correspond with a few other groups who do the same. In the end
Candidate A is not elected because he could not carry enough of the
counties that were largely in favor of his opponent.
These counties went to his opponent
largely because their either wasn't any Tea Party support in that
area, or those areas were largely unaware of the candidate. There are
currently over 100 tea party groups in New York State. If the
majority of these groups were given clear and detailed information
about the candidate that is running, have adequate campaign
materials, and are able to band together with other local groups so
they can cover their own areas, and areas that have little or no
support for the candidate, then they should be able to sweep across
the state and give this candidate more than enough exposure to create
a clearer path to victory.
Now this is of course an over
simplified explanation of how the process would work, but, I wanted
to try and show unity in action. This joint effort didn't require any
of the groups involved to lose any part of their individual identity,
but it did allow them to effectively promote a candidate in a way
they would not be able to achieve had they not been unified in this
one endeavor. Candidates in New York that have core American values
and share the principles that we espouse need our help more than just
about anywhere else in the country(except perhaps, California).
In 2010 the liberty groups across New
York helped lay the framework for the future of politics in the
Empire state. In 2011 and especially 2012, we need to become an
unstoppable machine of real change, and elect representatives that
understand how to create constitutionally sound legislation. We must
remained focused, and we must put aside our egos. Only through unity
can we achieve these results. It will not be easy, especially in the
Democrat stronghold known as NYC, or in the areas surrounding
ultra-liberal colleges like Cornell and Binghamton Universities. With
a strong resolve, much planning, and a unified front, we can
overwhelm New York with a surgical strike of Tea Party patriotism.
