31. We aren't Marching for the GOP

Thu Feb 9, 2017, 12:53 PM

Feb 2017

We are marching to show the people who are disheartened that there are people out there fighting. We are marching to motivate people on the sidelines and on the fence that there is something happening that needs attention. We are gearing up for 2018.

The GOP has a small solid base of voters, but there are a lot of people who sit out because they don't think that their vote counts or they don't know how these policies affect them. We need to reach them, so saying that our efforts are not "affecting the GOP" is not helpful. We know that we won't change the minds of the politicians who are getting their careers lined up making big money. We are trying to change the minds of the 46 percent of eligible voters who did not vote.
