I do not have the time to fotz around with Excel, so I’m just going to draft signatory sheets on graph paper or something.

I first looked at Hillbuzz during the campaign and thought they were on to Obama and very funny.

Nobody should be wary of Democrats- this is no longer a Democrat/Republican fight, this is a “preserving the republic” v. “third world style totalitarian government fight.” I have met quite a few ex-Democrats who are very very concerned.

That’s kind of you to write to Prof. Reynolds and also to credit me and Sebastian Gray. It was Sebastian who really explained the problem to me through his posts at HillBuzz. I realized that conservatives might be wary of him as a Democrat and that I would have more credibility as a Republican and fiscal conservative so I had to take up the hue and cry in the Right Blogosphere. Sebastian has earned and deserves credibility, but others just haven’t followed his posts and HillBuzz as long as I have to know that.

I also wrote to Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit and asked him to tell his readers to do this- giving you credit for the idea of course. And I also mentioned the Sebastian Grey pieces.

BUT. I want to make the Republican party more socially tolerant. Republicans actually are very tolerant people. People in general just care about money. I want it to be like, you don’t have to be white, you don’t have to be a straight person who has been faithful to your high school sweetheart since you became sexually active- on your wedding night, you don’t have to go to church every Sunday. You just have to want a stable society based around individual liberty and small government- government out of your life. In fact, anybody who wants the government butting into their personal life should be Republican.

It’s like I want to re-make my father’s party to make it more comfortable for ME.

Based on my education and most of my peer groups, in some ways I culturally fit in more with liberals- on most social issues, except that I love my family and believe in God. That’s why I’m so happy to make your acquaintance and that you’re newly conservative- I want more people like you in the Republican party! It can be lonely!

Ok, going with your fantastic idea, I am looking around for tea parties in the NYC area on July 4th to attend with a petition.

I like the way you think! I don’t feel called to start a new feminist organization but I will be doing my best to educate conservatives on how to do a protest properly.

The tea party tonight: not that great. Republicans are no good at, what Sebastian Grey talked about, mobilizing and creating a festival atmosphere at a protest. I’ve gone to a few pro-choice rallies in the past, so I’m familiar with the Lefty protest scene (the good thing about Republican protesters much much much less obnoxious and self-conscious).

What I’d really like to do is to do some Saul Alinsky-Acornesque stuff. Guy I know suggested going to Letterman show wearing Palin t-shirts, but the only people up for it were him and me.

So, I’ll check out July 4th protests and see if I can find one around.

Why don’t you start a new feminist organization? NOW is not cutting it. There’s Team Sarah. But we need something cooler. I think we need like a Black Panthers type thing for Palin.

Thank you for all your praise and comments! I hope I’m in your blogroll, too! Also, be sure to fill out your blog URL fully here so Comment Luv can go retrieve the link and title of your last post and put it below your comment.

Just write your own copy for the petition and letter. Make it short, along these lines:

On June 8 and 9 David Letterman deliberately attacked the teen-age daughters of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin with the intention of destroying her through her children. His remarks were not funny. They were cruel, demeaning and sexist and they hurt all women. By attacking Gov. Palin’s children, Mr. Letterman served notice that he will use his platform to hurt the children of people he disagrees with in order to destroy them and shut them up. With his sneering and insincere sham apologies, Mr. Letterman used the excuse of comedy as a shield. This must not stand. Mr. Letterman must be fired for attacking children and for his sexism. We call on all of Mr. Letterman’s sponsors to stop advertising on his show and we serve notice we will stop buying their products until they do. We call on CBS to fire David Letterman now.

Then on the petition, have places for people to print their name, sign their name, and give their address and contact info. Tell them their info will not be used for any other purpose.
