Bottom-up politics is the only thing that works. It worked for the Obama campaign in 2008 and 2012, starting with small house parties and people-to-people contact and it's worked for the GOP over the last 40 years in taking over our local communities and statehouses.

Not just because it matters, but because more people outside of the GOS are realizing it matters.
