GUIDELINES AND SUGGESTIONS FOR TESTIMONIALS
Our friends at the Walkaway Campaign, www.walkawaycampaign.com, do not lay out a vision for social, spiritual, or political reforms. They offer no ideas about economics. They mostly offer complaints about the Democratic Party and Socialism. While we generally agree with the complaints, we want to be more positive. We offer our own ideas. That is a major difference. In theory, we should be bigger, as we lay out an entire vision of Economic Populism. We are unafraid to lead, or even to challenge the Republican Party on both tone and policy.
Advancing The Welcome Movement is largely dependent upon receiving and publishing excellent testimonials, both written and video. If you want to help us in some way, submitting a testimonial is the best thing you can do. A testimonial is simply your vision for political reform, within our general perspective.
TO QUALIFY
2. Your Name, and what State you live in. Otherwise the nation.
3. Your written or video testimonial
4. You must be 18 years old, or older
WE WILL NOT PUBLISH THE FOLLOWING:
1. Cursing, threatening, racism, or advocating violence or hate.
2. Opposition to Legal Immigration. The vast majority of immigrants are conservative on almost every factor, and should be Republican.
3. Vehement attacks against a political figure. It’s OK to say you don’t like someone, or his or her position on an issue. Just don’t go too far.
4. Fake News.
5. Anything which minimizes God or Faith.
6. Opposition to Free Speech, Freedom of Religion, or the 2nd Amendment. Mild reforms to the 2nd Amendment are reasonable, and will be printed.
7. Open advocacy for “choice” or LGBTQ causes. This is the biggest difference between the Welcome Movement and the Walkaway Campaign, which is an LGBTQ-oriented political organization. Please note that we do encourage generic statements that all persons should be accepted as members of society, as friends, and as Republicans, regardless of LGBTQ status.
8. Any testimonial clearly in conflict with our mission.
WHO IS AND ISN’T OUR ADVERSARY
1. Our adversary is not
“Democrats”. We embrace them, and we want so many Democrats to leave that their Party that it will shrink to a radicalized core that only 20% of Americans will vote for, leaving them impotent. The Far Left wants to own the Democratic Party, and they can have what’s left of it.
2. Our adversary is not
“Liberals”; we want to invite them over. (See the video Left or Versus Liberal by Prager University, posted on our ABOUT Page). The Welcome Movement includes some liberal themes; including Freedom of Speech, some but not all environmental perspectives. and some populist economic reforms.
3. Our adversary is THE FAR LEFT, SOCIALISTS, RADICALS, and RADICAL FEMINISTS. We are generally suspicious of the media, academia, protestors, and poets, as most are Far Left. And to those who are not, we extend our strongest possible welcome.
GUIDELINES AND SUGGESTIONS
1. Go to our Home Page, scroll down, and Review the Right Column. There are Sections and sub- sections filled with information and positions. You may find something you like, such as
- Absolute Rejection of Racism and Intolerance
- Economics for Families
- Common Sense on the Environment, Health, & Food
- End the Deep State, Follow the US Constitution
- Smaller Government Ideas
2. Be strong in conviction but passive in tone. A strong person doesn’t wail and complain like the Far Left. There’s strength in conviction.
3. It is OK to state your political party affiliation, especially if you are a Democrat or former Obama voter.
4. There are Values and Virtues from America’s Past that we support, aside from spiritual values. Our Home Page Left Column lists them succinctly. Scroll down to that section. Scan through the list and talk about some of these values. It’s sad how our whole country has deviated from this perspective.
5. Support an interfaith understanding on values in America. There is tremendous overlap in the values of different Faiths. Numerically, there are no longer enough Christians and Catholics for Faith-based values to rise to prominence in society, but the equation tilts in our favor if a wider net is thrown, including Jews, Muslims, Bahai’s, and Asian religions, and especially including immigrants of all kinds. Spiritual values Common to most Faiths are listed in the Home Page Left Column, and they appear in a generic and interfaith manner. Talk about these values, how they are common to all major Faiths, and how America would be a better place if they were followed more widely.
These American values and Spiritual values constitute what it means to be a conservative. We’ve heard complaints that we are not conservatives because we support consumer protection and generic government regulations. Nonsense. Those two lists are profoundly conservative. We are defining the term “conservative” simply by publishing the lists. Once a person accepts the conservative perspective offered in those two lists, then it’s time to debate economic theory. And there’s plenty to debate, from a populist perspective. We don’t concede economic theory to the top 1%. Sorry, not happening.
