My mail to Tim Cox (GOOOH)

Tim Cox is the founder of Get Out Of Our House (GOOOH) which has the very worthwhile goal of replacing the House of Representatives with ordinary Americans having term limits. Here is my mail to him.

Tim,

I joined GOOOH several months ago. GOOOH is an excellent idea.

It will be better to make changes within the Republican party than to start a third party. Think Ross Perot and how the Conservatives and the Republicans lost. You want the Republican vote added to the Conservative vote, which will overwhelm the Democrats. The candidates may be the same people. All that time and energy spent infighting is saved and you don’t have a repeat of a split.

Take Scott Brown in Massachusetts. Aren’t you happy with him? I sure am. Win the election first. Then everything else, like term limits, Constitutional resetting, etc. But win the election first!

Tim please reply. Thank you.

Tim's reply:

Let’s pursue both.

The problem with trying to just take the Republican Party is we don’t really fix anything. We might get a short term improvement, but remember, the Repubs were in complete control from 2000 to 2006. The deficit went up. The borders remained open. The tax code grew to 70,000+ page. I could go on.

We need to fix the system, not put a bandaid on the problem. We need to remove Pelosi, Carter, Lewis, Reid and hundreds of others.

Don’t let one short term win fool you into believing the problem has been fixed.

My reply:

Hi Tim,

OK, but let's be sure to win the election first. That's what Obama did through careful scripting. Then after that he broke all his campaign promises, which he was able to do because he won the election first.

You have good candidates who should be able to win the Republican primaries. After winning the election then decide whether to split from or keep the Republican party and fill it from stem to stern with GOOOH people and drive the bad Republicans out of party leadership positions. There should be tons of support for GOOOH candidates from the Tea Party and from the Oath Keepers.
