PARTY STRUCTURE

I don't know the party structure, but I would suggest a National Director, then the next rank would be vice Director, then state directors, followed by county directors, followed by chapter directors, and each chapter would have to have at least 4 members.

Of course this can be modified by the party. I could see this structure when the party is large.

What about large cities? They would/could have larger populations than counties.

They would be based on the neighborhood like New York would have the Queens chapter and the Harlem chapter and so on.

Seriously, this party doesn't have enough of a mass appeal at this point to even worry about such trivia.

The best way to proceed would be to organize cells around individual members in thier communities. Find an issue to agitate around and call attention to in order to attract more members. Organize in cells like an underground organization, with communication flow between cell leaders.

Furthermore, I think it would be best if we organized around a religious / non-profit registration. Take a page from the enemy and take advantage of tax-exempt status while couching political agitation as religious group-affiliation "rights" campaigning. Just like the muslims do.

Don't go into all of the broad platform of positions as if we were a serious "political party." We are years, if not decades from contesting any actual elections. The best path to follow is Obama-ist / Alinskian "Community Organizing."

Don't you ever wonder why the Lefties always steal everyone's thunder? Don't you ever wonder why the Lefties always get away with agitating, agitating, agitating while the Conservatives always end up being the piñata? It's because they organize around issues and are implacable. When one issue dies down, they go to another and another and another. They never go away, they are always agitating. Either it's Anti-War, or the Environment, or Civil Rights, or Anti-Capitalism. They never tell you they are "Socialists" (except for Maxine Water's slip-up last week) or "Communists." They call themselves "Activists" for whatever the cause du-jour is.

This is the model for success. This is the model for getting the CF off the ground.

Gay Marriage Amendments and Anti-Abortion sound like promising bandwagons right now. idea

Read Saul Alinski (from your Christian Conservative perspective of course) Throw out all of the lefty-socialism claptrap and there you have a formula for success. confused

In his Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing,

"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families - more than seventy million people - whose income range from $5,000 to $10,000 a year [in 1971]. They cannot be dismissed by labeling them blue collar or hard hat. They will not continue to be relatively passive and slightly challenging. If we fail to communicate with them, if we don't encourage them to form alliances with us, they will move to the right. Maybe they will anyway, but let's not let it happen by default.."^[2]

Here's a couple of ideas. Wherever there's a blank, "insert name of community here," get it? as in:

The ____________ Christian Gun Owner's Association = The Lakewood Christian Gun Owner's Association.

Try a couple of these out:

The ____________ Christian Anti-Abortion Coalition

The ____________ Christian Property Rights Coalition

The ____________ Christian Defense of Marriage Amendment Coalition

The ____________ Christian Anti-Defamation League

The ____________ Association of Christian Rights Voters

The ____________ Christian Anti-Gang Commuity Action Coalition

The ____________ Christian Neighborhood Security Organization

Etc, etc. Two guys, some letterhead, business cards a website and fax machine are all you need to start one or all of these in your community

THIS IS THE PLACE TO START. Worry about running for president later. In order to cross that bridge, we first have to build it.

Three Falangists wearing suite (suits mean business) and wearing the same insignia, under the banner of one of these coalitions CAN HAVE AN IMPACT.

Build it up slowly but surely. Expect attacks from all sides. The press will hate you, the Establishment will hate you, the Churches will disown you.

You must lean to do "Public Relations Jiu-Jitsu" and turn their disdain into more exposure.
