What We Can Do
“The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.”
– John Adams, A Defense of the American Constitutions, 1787

There are a number of things that we, as individuals and constituents, can do to help turn this country around. First, we can vote. We must vote. If there is even the remotest thought that voting is not worthwhile, please reconsider. It is the ultimate means of controlling our destiny.
Next, we can offer means of support to our candidates – people who we believe will make their mark on returning this country to its constitutional roots and commitment to freedom. Chris Mitchum is our candidate for the House of Representatives, the people’s house. He is committed to conservative principles and needs your help right now.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) needs to make a commitment to support Chris’ campaign. They have not yet done so, thinking that this is not a winnable seat. We disagree.
Please, take a few minutes to call or write Kevin McCarthy, the Republican Majority leader, and tell him that Chris – no, we as Chris’ constituents – need the NRCCs support for this campaign. Chris can win – Lois Capps is vulnerable. Please call or write now! Sample letter below!

The Honorable Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy
2421 Rayburn House Office Building
United States House of Representatives
Washington DC 20515
Dear Honorable Kevin McCarthy,
I am a constituent of the 24th Congressional District of the State of California and I am writing to ask you and the NRCC to support our Republican Congressional candidate, Chris Mitchum. The 24th district is a seat that we can take away from Democrat Lois Capps. It is a winnable seat for Republicans.
Lois Capps is at her most vulnerable state ever during this election cycle because: 1. This is an off year election, 2. The redrawn district has only a small majority of Democrat voters, 3. Capps campaign staff is under investigation for a serious cover-up of a staff member’s fatal hit-and-run incident while on duty, and 4. The continuing decline of Obama’s popularity which is tied closely to Capps.
Chris is the best candidate we have put forth for this seat in many years. He is deserving of all the support the NRCC can muster. Please, we can win this seat if the NRCC backs him.
Sincerely,
Name,
