All this "extreme liberal" talk? Some folks are going to be surprised. This letter just sounds silly to me.
November 10, 2008 - Monday
Dear faithful friend of the family,
I don't want to sugarcoat the damage our movement absorbed last week.
In January, we will see the government consolidated in the hands of the most radical, left-wing president and Congress in the history of our Republic. And they plan to drastically change our nation the moment they take power.
Yet... there is ample reason for hope if we take a stand.
And if we start now.
Never forget: Extreme liberalism does not work as a governing philosophy. As in the past, the Left is likely to suffer a rapid backlash as their policies are exposed... and as they fail to help Americans.
Importantly, most Americans still disagree with the newly elected leaders in Washington, D.C. on issues of faith, family, and freedom.
Consider that:
Our movement seemed doomed in 1976 with a liberal president, Jimmy Carter, and a liberal-dominated Congress. Four years later, Ronald Reagan led a conservative revolution that changed history.
Our movement seemed doomed again in 1992 when Bill Clinton and a liberal-dominated Congress took power. Two years later, conservatives stormed into power in Congress and largely countered the Clinton presidency.
Therefore, FRC is launching a plan to help expose our liberal leaders' radicalism to America even as we short-circuit their agenda in Washington.
Knowing an Obama victory was possible, FRC crafted this plan in advance.
Now I need your help to launch it. Establish a recurring gift to help every month the liberals are in power.
The history of our faith and freedom is the story of men and women like you creating victory out of very bleak moments of apparent defeat.
So make no mistake, this can be our movement's "finest hour."
Help Launch "Our Finest Hour": The FRC Plan to Reverse the Threat to Our Values and Freedom. The plan includes:
Building a Capitol Hill Firewall by supplying conservative and genuinely centrist members of Congress with the facts and answers they will use to stop the radical agenda of the Left.
Building a Supreme Court Firewall by laying the groundwork in the Senate and nation to reject any radical judicial activist nominees.
Building a National Firestorm of facts through a media strategy that will expose the extremism of leaders in the White House and Congress. FRC will prepare a conservative, pro-family comeback as Americans see the true liberal agenda. Read more.
