 My people perish for a lack of knowledge.  Some say ‘no one seems to care’.  I say no one cares when no one knows.  Knowledge is power – power to change that which will serve the greater good. 

Red Stick Republican’s Rantings are meant to be informative and thought provoking. 

In order to change, we must be willing to look at the facts, face the truth and seek solutions that will benefit the majority, not special interests of the few.  We can no longer sit on the fence.  We must take a stand, no matter how painful it may be.  I challenge you to take a hard look at what you can do to make a difference in your circle of influence and in the Red Stick. 

We need leaders that are moral and spiritual forward thinkers. Leaders that are willing to stand against the fray and if necessary serve only one term to effect change that will last far beyond their service to our community.

Who I am is far less important than the change I may effect to improve our community for generations to come.   

God Speed,

Red Stick Republican
