Last Saturday I was invited as a guest on Fox News with Brian Wilson to discuss some of the 2010 efforts within the movement. I cited an event where movement activists had taken over the GOP in Clark County (Las Vegas) Nevada.

Since the segment aired, I've received countless emails asking about the Nevada incident. This is an interesting story considering the large amount of attention my poll got on our website about a week ago. The poll I posted, which asked about the method the movement should rally behind to achieve mass success in 2010, had more than 10,000 visits, 4,300 votes and 400 or so comments.
The following is where the results stand as of the time of this post:
Where do you think the movement should go in 2010?
-The movement needs to take over the GOP 51% (2,228 votes)
-Third party… it's time for the two parties to be taken down 21% (902 votes)
-Third party ONLY if/when it is clearly viable 14% (623 votes)
-I think we need to avoid third parties at all costs 11% (478 votes)
-The movement needs to take over the Democrats 4% (162 votes)
I know… the poll is kind of silly in a way. But it also helps lead me to some of the next few posts I'll be publishing. Please understand that these posts are only in place to get us, as a movement, pondering strategy for 2010 and beyond.
Many have said it's silly to consider taking over the GOP. Many have tried and failed (including me) and many of us know that in the past the effort resulted in wasted time and money.
But that was then, this is now.
Meet the National Precinct Alliance.
Seem silly? Seem like a wast of time?
Think again.
Great News!!!
Nevada just had it's elections for GOP Leadership. As a PC, It was my duty and great pleasure to drive 5 hours from Las Vegas to Hawthorn Nevada, along with our other delegates, to Represent Clark County. Our approved slate of candidates swept the elections and we now control the entire State. No RINO was left standing. Everyone of them has been moved out of our way. Every change to the State Party bylaws we didn't approve of was voted down. It was a complete and total VICTORY for the grassroots conservatives in Nevada.
Now keep in mind that our little plan Plan to take over the GOP and our PC program was started by about 30 members about 6 months ago. Who was saying this will take a long time? Who was thinking this would be to ambitious, impossible and that the powers that be would never allow this to happen? We have proven every critic WRONG. This can be done! We did it! You and your County and State can do it too.
First, do your part by becoming active within the Patriotic Resistance. Contact the others in your State Group and tell them about what we have accomplished in Nevada. Join forces with your other local grassroots conservative groups and attend the GOP meetings. Set your sights high! The County GOP is your first target but keep in mind the objective is to take control of the entire State. Hold joint meetings with your coalition of conservative groups and choose your leaders from your own ranks or those that you approve of. It is just that simple.
We banded together with members of the other like minded groups, invaded and took control of the Clark County GOP. We then spread the message to our other members in the State who used Clark County as the model. Here it is by the numbers. Last May, the Clark County "RINO" Central Committee had 300 members and only about 1/2 of them were active. As of yesterday, it is 600 active members strong and the vast majority are are like minded grassroots conservatives who vote. Our movement took the County by surprise and then the State by force of numbers.
To me, it is no longer a question of, "can this work?" It is a question of when the rest of the Patriots in our Country put forth the small amount of effort required to do the same thing.
I checked in to this and I found it to be 100% accurate. This movement in Nevada has indeed caused a significant shift in the party structure across the state. In fact, just last week there was a major shakeup in leadership within the Clark Country GOP of Las Vegas.
It has been confirmed that the following previous officials within the party resigned at an emergency meeting.
-Heather Kydd, secretary
-Martha Kimpel, executive board member District F
-Christine DeCorte, finance director
-Swadeep Nigam, treasurer
-Ron Futrell, communications director
-Richard Scotti, chairman
-Melody Howard, executive board member District C
-Norm Yeager, executive board member District A
Some of these individuals give multiple reasons for stepping down, but a very good source of mine tells me that most of it took place over frustration with movement activists controlling the votes to the point that the old establishment couldn't continue on its current path.
This is a profound shift in what is happening within the party, and makes it clear that if the movement really, REALLY wanted to put the party back in the hands of true fiscal conservatives… it's entirely possible to make it happen.
What say you?
-Eric Odom
