I got a text this morning from a friend, who notes that two people notably unfriendly to the cause of smaller government are busy grooming would-be candidates to replace those incumbents who might retire.

My question in reply: "And who will oppose their chosen successor?"

You get the government you allow. If you don't like the idea of bad people taking the place of the bad people in office now, then you have a simple choice: you start organizing now to find and fund the challenger who will protect your life, liberty, property, and family.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Patriots don't settle for less liberty. Outworking your opponent starts with working hard to find a challenger.

It's often said that the grassroots don't have a farm team. There is no succession plan. We don't train people to step up and take office.

I'm working to address that gap. The Goal is to Win addresses some of that. I'm currently working on the seminar that accompanies the book. Three training events are already booked: two in January and one in March. It's critical that we act and organize early. Running for office and organizing for victory takes times, and sometimes a couple of runs at it before our candidate gets elected (new Texas Reps Luther, Olcott, Hopper, etc).

But if we don't act now and start organizing now, then we are sure to get the government prepared for us by those who do act and organize.

Pro-tip: their efforts are already underway. Are yours?
