Letter from Watertown
Good Morning. In my talk with Nobu, who lives near Tokyo, last night (we use skype.com he said they had snow already. I begged him not to send it here. Sigh! We finally received our first snow. I woke to all whiteness. Off-white sky, pure white lawn, dark tree trucks with dusted branches of white.
A new follower on twitter for me. Michael Patrick Leahy who is promoting his book at his blog about rebuilding the Republican party. Leahy recommends a six step program that will lead to Republican success in 2010 and 2012.:
(1) Return to conservative principles of limited government, lower taxes, and fiscal conservatism
(2) Frame this conservative message in the symbolism and imagery that will be persuasive to voters who are now between 15 and 29 years of age.
(3) Communicate this conservative message to all voters, but especially voters now between the ages of 15 and 29 using state of the art 21st Century technologies.
(4) Contest all 435 House of Representative elections and all local elections in 2010 and 2012.
(5) Kick the Rinos (Republicans in Name Only) out of the party, and rein in the Rinkos (Republicans in Name Kind Of).
(6) Engage every Republican of every age in growing the party through action, not talk. This will require the establishment of a technologically integrated web based communication network that connects every Republican County organization in real time with the State and National organizations. Young, forward looking, visionary leadership at the very top of the Republican National Committee is required for this. Technology and communication innovators like Patrick Ruffini and Erick Erickson should lead the way, not tired old Rinkos or Brain Dead Luddites.

I posted on August 1st in 2007 that Republicans needed to use the Internet communication-tools, such as twitter, for these toys will help win the election in 2008. I mention it again with Leahy’s comments and Lester’s below:
@Bodhi1 (Duane Lester) tweeted this morning on “Why Conservatives Should Be Using Twitter And 200 “People” You Should Be Following”
Back to my figuring out my accounts for their entering into Quicken. Have a good day. Later.
