But encouraging new technologies through tax incentives should be a cornerstone of the Republican tax-reduction pitch. Energy independence is important, and the "Drill, Baby, Drill" cants this summer made us sound close-minded and backward-looking. We must include all options.</p><p>Pat said:<br /><p class="textilish">Money spent on utilities is wasted forever. If alternative energy sources are made affordable, we should take advantage, pollution is bad, free energy is good. Everyone would agree with that.</p></p>tag:ideas.rebuildtheparty.com,2008-02-07:Event/27326032010-08-26T21:42:34+00:002010-08-26T21:42:34+00:00new U.S. Gold Coin<p>Pat suggested:<br />Sell quarter ounce coins at banks at spot gold prices. The profit (difference between real cost of coin and spot gold price) could be used to pay off real US debt (not interest on debt) and the wealth remains in the U.S. </p>tag:ideas.rebuildtheparty.com,2008-02-07:Event/26897092010-08-21T19:59:31+00:002010-08-21T19:59:31+00:00Recruite and support Native American, Black and Hispanics! [updated]<p>The world around us is changing and if our party does not change with it, without loosing our principles of conservatism (limited government, fiscal responsibility and social conservatism), we will simply become irrelevant. Part of this rebuilding effort must include not only improving the use of technology and outreach to youth and the grass roots coalitions but recruitment and support of Native Americans, Hispanics and African Americans who share our ideals and passions.
Unfortunately I've seen first hand these groups marginalized at a time where everybody of like mind within our conservative movement should be embraced. The party needs to actively recruit and support qualified minority candidates, strongly support minority advocacy groups and perhaps most importantly include them in leadership positions! </p><p>Anon said:<br /><p class="textilish">azcatnative you speak a lot about getting support from natives and Hispanics and minorities but then you blast one Hispanic lady who was seeking help after losing her job UNFAIRLY because her boss was trying to cover the mess she (the boss) made by hiring her friend who new nothing at all, and did nothing, and when she quit, left all the work undone and made the boss look bad, so she tossed the blame elsewhere, on my mother. And just so you know any employer can deny unemployment and because of their high rich lawyers win even though its unfair and not right. So the next time you want to email a lady whose worked hard all her life and then is used as an escape goat because of some bitch, you better be kind and think of what you say and know facts before you insult her like you did you piece of shit.</p></p>tag:ideas.rebuildtheparty.com,2008-02-07:Event/26735112010-08-19T23:02:26+00:002010-08-19T23:02:26+00:00restore the constitution as the founding fathers envisioned ittag:ideas.rebuildtheparty.com,2008-02-07:Event/26675252010-08-19T09:41:34+00:002010-08-19T09:41:34+00:00endorse Palin-Jindal ticket in 2012tag:ideas.rebuildtheparty.com,2008-02-07:Event/26674832010-08-19T09:30:27+00:002010-08-19T09:30:27+00:00prevent construction of new mosques in NY and elsewheretag:ideas.rebuildtheparty.com,2008-02-07:Event/26674712010-08-19T09:29:11+00:002010-08-19T09:29:11+00:00work to restore America's Christian heritagetag:ideas.rebuildtheparty.com,2008-02-07:Event/26674612010-08-19T09:27:36+00:002010-08-19T09:27:36+00:00remove constitutional protections for islamtag:ideas.rebuildtheparty.com,2008-02-07:Event/26631592010-08-18T19:49:47+00:002010-08-18T19:49:47+00:00Sarah Palin [updated]<p>Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!
This woman represents the best and brightest future for the Republican party. Sarah is to 2012 what Reagan was to 1980. She represents all true American ideals and really speaks to the core of the American spirit.
If you dont believe me look at the numbers.
According to this rasmussen poll!
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub...n_helped_mccain
Sixty-nine percent (69%) of Republican voters say Alaska Governor Sarah Palin helped John McCain’s bid for the presidency.
91% of Republicans have a favorable view of Palin, including 65% who say their view is Very Favorable.
We need Sarah palin, and we need her now!

Its built by the same guy who co founded and invented the Democrat's immensely successful, national technology solution called VoteBuilder. He sold his half of VAN and switched sides 5 years ago. rVotes s for Republican politics only!. Its powerful stuff! Look who it got elected President?

This would get the support of Middle America and will be a real solution for creating jobs and whatever party that supports this idea will be successful. Don't support this idea and 3rd Parties will arise, becuase no Party to date is thinking about the Dignity of the American Worker.</p>tag:ideas.rebuildtheparty.com,2008-02-07:Event/26317532010-08-14T20:28:49+00:002010-08-14T20:28:49+00:00Fight for Obama's Impeachmenttag:ideas.rebuildtheparty.com,2008-02-07:Event/25956112010-08-10T15:58:34+00:002010-08-10T15:58:34+00:00Fully Embrace the Religious Right
