I am a Conservative mostly Republican and I am a Believer in God, the Constitution and a limited Government that does not impose loony left-wing socialistic policies on the People. I am a Tea Partying, Rally attending Right Wing Right to Life Citizen of the United States! I am not a Racist, bigoted, or part of an angry mob! I know when my rights are being trampled and do not take it well. I am known to write angry letters to our Representatives and call the white house when I get Riled! I have the phone number of every Representative from Tennessee in my Cell phone.
Talking Points about Smart Girl Politics from a Talk I gave recently to SURG - Hendersonville, Tennessee
I was invited to speak recently at the regular meeting of SURG (Sumner United for Responsible Government). Also on the agenda that night was Tami Kilmarx and Candidate Dave Evans, running for Congress in Tennessee's 6th District. My talk was on something near and dear to my Heart!
Smart Girl Politics, Our mission is to Engage, Empower and Educate women and men in the political process.
By engaging in the political debates, sharing information, and informing each other, we keep a focal point on what and where we need to focus our attention. We fought long and hard to stop the health scare bill. We had war rooms with information on the representatives, the blue dogs. We provided information on events from countering acorn/seiu pro healthcare rallies to the Can you Hear us now and other Rallies. We provided links to websites for information and we provided the facts on misinformation.
By empowering Girls and Guys in the political process, we give them the necessary tools to become activists. We have twitter groups, facebook groups, and blogger groups. We hope we provide the material for the voice that is waiting to get out and get started on doing something. So many have emailed me, I want to do something, but I don’t know how. I don’t know what to do. I usually will get them started with the 5-minute daily activism. Write an email on Monday, taking 5 minutes then send it to one senator on Tuesday and one on Wednesday, call one representative on Thursday. Leave a message on the White House message line on Fridays and on Saturday and Sunday, send, or prepare faxes for the coming week. Get on Twitter and let all your followers know about a bill or a vote that is happening. Be empowered, you CAN make a difference!
We don’t just want to tell Smart Girls and Guys what to do, or have everyone join in letter writing campaigns, part of being empowered is being educated. Smart Girl Politics has SMART GIRL 101, where we do classes on the political process. We have every level of political experience from the very newly awakened, that have never been involved at all to those that have decided the way they want to make a difference is to challenge the office. We have held classes on Voters Registration, Get Out The Vote, Identifying Voters Fraud, How to support a candidate to running a campaign, and how to make your own Run for office!
What we also do is give conservatives a place to meet; even virtually, in a place where there are others that share their passion, their values, and their politics, gather. We don’t all talk, vote and believe in the exact same thing. We are all individuals and come from all back grounds and lifestyles. We are young, and old and live all over the world. Did you know that Smart Girl Politics has members from all over the world? We come together to Share our fears, our passions and our lives and Our love of our Country.
Joining Smart Girl Politics is easy as getting on our website and signing up, we have a Tennessee State Group, where we hope to get real good at keeping an eye on our local governments. Everything from the School board to the Governors office. We are working towards having each district watched by members and reports made to district coordinators, so we can post meetings, we can let all members know what votes are coming up, what passage will mean to the district. We want to be able to inform our members and get them involved at the local level, IF we can stop progressive agendas at the school board and local municipal level, then our State and even Federal Government will not be able to pass legislation that goes against the grain of conservatives and is detrimental to our freedoms. WE hope that if a district is having a problem with an upcoming vote, we have a ready made large number of phone calls and letters to help out.
We also have many issue and interest groups. These groups represent everything from Supporting Israel to the 2nd amendment, we have activism groups for Bloggers, and Tea Parties. We have conservative personality groups for Rush, Glenn Beck, Tammy Bruce, Ann Coulter. We have interest groups - everything from a motorcycle group to a Business coalition. We have Issues groups and politician Groups, we even have a new group that is just for fun. It is designed to take a bit of time and have a laugh, a quick time out from the harshness of politics.
We hope to never wake up to the reality of 2008 again. We hope to empower the next generation of Smart Girls and Smart Guys to carry on what we have started; To become the watchers and to ALWAYS question their Government. We hope to give every concerned Smart Girl and Smart Guy the tools and knowledge to use them to finish the fight. And to Educate and To pass on to the next generation along with the Story of what we have witnessed and fought for, the Second American Revolution. How we Almost, but not quite lost our Freedoms and our Republic!
