Building up the GOP for victory.

In order to win in the current political climate, we need to do what every good CEO, Coach, or leader does. We must set measurable goals, and strive to meet and exceed those goals in every candidate that we promote, and in every initiative we support.

There are 6 Pillars of Conservatism.
(1) Limited Government
(2) Free Markets
(3) Individual Liberty
(4) Traditional Values
(5) Strong National Defense.
(6) State’s rights.
These 6 Pillars fit nicely into the three main groups that Reagan enjoyed the support of: Social, Fiscal, and National Security Conservatives.

In order to support Social Conservatism we need to support Limited Government, Traditional Values, and States Rights. Social Conservatism exists in its highest form when the above three pillars are met. Limited government avoids intrusion into personal matters. Traditional Values are the absolute core of social conservatism, standing to enforce morality, family values and traditions that shore up this society, even in times of turmoil. States Rights allow an “opt in” approach for specific values that may be troublesome to an individual’s morality.
In order to support Fiscal conservatism, we need to support Limited Government, Free markets, and Individual Liberties. These Three pillars support Fiscal Conservatism in meaningful ways. It ensures success for those who expect the government to operate with efficiency and purpose. Limited Government simply spends less than large government. Free Markets provide for the greatest opportunity for the largest amount of participants. Individual Liberties enforce both the responsibility and the freedom associated with opportunity to succeed.
In order to support National security Conservatism we need to support Free Markets, The Strong National defense, and States Rights. These three pillars support National Security Conservatism by ensuring a strong, well researched Military arm, and a strong support at Home by way of a well organized militia which defends the nation while the professional soldier is deployed in support of National Security.

Free Markets provide a wealth of opportunity for new military techniques and tools. Strong National Defense is the core value of these conservatives, a successful defense ensures a vibrant environment for all to participate in. States Rights ensure that the populace is informed, educated and ready to lend a hand for the defense of the Nation, especially in the face of reduced budgets and a smaller, faster military.

The 6 Pillars of Conservatism, and the Three main factions of Reaganism work hand in hand. You must meet each of the 6 pillars to succeed. This will draw all of the three factions together in our support. These values have worked in the past. They resonate with the core being of Americans. Each product we support must support all 6 of these pillars, to engage the three major voting blocks that last brought us victory, ongoing success and support.

The products are the individuals and the initiatives that we throw our support, treasure and time behind.
These products must meet the end goal of supporting conservatism, in order to reach success. Lastly, we must embrace measured change. This is often antithetical to conservatives, who believe in the system that exists, and the success that it has brought to us all. Building to a long term success requires that we change in time to meet new challenges. As long as the change that occurs meets the test of time, it is change worth embracing. Move forward with confidence, success and initiative.

Stand firm for the bedrock of our beliefs, derive strength from their everlasting value. Be the reed of change, willing to bend gently with the changing winds of our time, deriving further strength from the flexibility of needed change, to ensure our continued success.

Together we reach the success and freedom that only America offers. Separated, we fall prey to the wiles of liberalism, and their designs upon our past successes. Be the Bedrock and be the Reed. Be willing to support our past success and our future change. Enjoy the success of conservatism by embracing it fully. Thank you for listening. Thank you for your support.
