172. Well, if you followed my post, you'd know.

Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson had thousands of fundamentalist churches where they had meetings to get people of a like mind to run at the precinct level.* Once one has the majority of the precincts in a district, one has the district delegation. One repeats this across the state. When one has the majority of the districts, one has the state delegation. That means only like minded people go to the national convention. Do this in enough states and voila, you have overtaken one of the two major parties in the USA.

I watched it happen and there was nothing Democrats could do. Those assholes even tried in infiltrate the Democratic delegation, but we stopped them dead in their tracks.

They were organized!!! If you want to make a difference, you have to organize as well. We might not have churches, but there is the Internet. If I were younger, not poor, and more healthy, I would do it.

* IRS rules forbid partisan politics in religious organizations on penalty of losing tax exempt status. However, this is rarely enforced, basically giving the fundies free reign to violate those rules.
