[calimary]

27. Seriously? You're in the winners' circle too?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

It's great that voters have starting getting interested in local and state races. THAT'S where it all starts, and where power bases are built for future advancement. We've ignored that part of it for way too long.

One of the biggest villains of the 70s and 80s was the "Christian Coalition's" babyfaced ruthless schemer Ralph Reed. He did a lot of damage in his heyday and was a darling of the evangelicals and the Reagan hoards, as well as Reagan himself. One of his signature efforts was pushing the idea of CONservatives running for the local school board. Mainly because from there, you could climb higher, building a power base and lots of valuable connections and maybe then trying for City Council. Or County Supervisor. Or the State Senate or Assembly. And from there, you could well rise up to Congress, the Senate, the governor's mansion, or higher. But for him, it all started with the local school board.

Glad YOU are there instead of one of his little flying monkeys!
