If I may ...
For your consideration ...
Yup. I have. And, as it is here on the forums, at times, I'm not too popular. One of the problems is that they still worship Ronald Reagan. Even have his 11th Commandment posted on a wall, "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican." Kinda hard to effect any change when one can't call out another Republican for not following their oath of office. But then, (I don't worship Reagan), that never stopped me from speaking my mind. Not to worry about speaking your mind though. As long as there are no threats of violence, you can speak your mind on any issue.
I have found, though, that there are sympathetic ears. Those that know and understand that there is too much BS going on and that they actually work on trying to rectify and change things. The point is to make it known that, you, and the people, will not tolerate things as they are anymore. Eventually these people do get weared down. After all, they, the members of the central committee, are elected themselves to their positions. These people are basically, the very first line of defense. Also know as the local grass roots level of the party.
And it's not like meeting at a bar and having arguments over some beers. It is a typical straight forward, Roberts Rules of Order, meeting. Called to order, previous meeting minutes gone over and approved. Old business, then new business, plans going forward and so on. Then the floor is open for any who wishes to speak. I'm pretty sure you would be able to handle such a situation. And, you might even be surprised at the total understanding people you would see there, and the agreements of your positions. You might be pleasantly surprised.
BTW. I've even called out Republicans as being RINO's, and have had agreement with many on the central committee. What's really funny, ironic, is that those RINO's never go to, or if, extremely rarely, attend any central committee meetings.
Also, you could throw your name in at the next election cycle to be voted onto the central committee. There, in that position, you could be the leader that you are and work to make changes at the local level, and beyond. But you have to start somewhere. Quit thinking it's a lost cause and that you can't effect change. Stop being self defeating. That is not the Vrai we all know and love. Be the change.
Writing in “A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America” in 1788, John Adams had this to say about the newly created founding documents of the United States government and of the states, “The United States of America have exhibited, perhaps the first example of governments erected on the simple principles of nature; and if men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse themselves of artifice, imposture, hypocrisy, and superstition, they will consider this event as an era in their history . . . Thirteen governments thus founded on the natural authority of the people alone, without a pretence of miracle or mystery, are a great point gained in favor of the rights of man.”
