The clear aim of our political movement is to keep and return as much political and economic power to the people and their families so they can make the best decisions for themselves.

I have summarized this as the founding ideology of our great State and country, as Individual Rights, State Sovereignty, and continued United States unity and independence.
We must stop focusing on the particular leaders of the opposition because our movement will maintain the initiative and momentum when we focus on defeating the alien ideologies rather than just those who espouse them. When we focus on disproving their underlying ideologies, we undermine the support and power of the opposition leadership who stand for those ideologies.
To insure the survival of our founding ideology, we must speak to the people and remind them of the importance and reasons for Individual Rights, State Sovereignty, and continued United States unity and independence. This will secure the legitimate authority we seek, i.e. authority from the people.
Obviously, it goes without saying that we must use the proper channels for resolving issues. However, what appears less obvious is that we must hold to our ideology as our “red line”; i.e., the point beyond which there is no compromise, only peaceful kind and firm resolve.
Notice the strength of the opposition ideologies; they don’t compromise their core tenets; rather, they expect us to compromise ours. Yes, ultimately, this has to be hashed out through spirited civil deliberation and debate among the people. I am certain of the innate goodness of our founding principles, certain of victory. However, we must risk appearing peacefully unreasonable for freedom.
Our ideology is one of love, which requires listening. The best action plan is to encourage one another to listen to the opposition and explain how our founding ideology addresses their hopes and fears.
