PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP SHOULD RE-ESTABLISH FDR’s FIRESIDE CHATS CONCEPT THROUGHOUT HIS PRESIDENCY
CITIZENS WITH TRADITIONAL AMERICAN VALUES NEED TO BECOME INFORMED, ORGANIZED AND ACTIVE VIA ALL LEGAL AVENUES, BOTH OLD & NEW
This was not my idea but it’s an excellent idea I acquired from a friend: President-elect Trump should borrow the FDR Fireside Chats concept by holding such a session every two (2) weeks to once a month on the state of the nation, on-going priorities, existing problems being addressed, political obstruction, etc.
President-elect Trump should prioritize the importance of the general population, especially those who supported returning America to the free nation as we’ve known America to exist by pointing out those RINOs or democrats creating gridlock, attempting to impose onerous regulations under the table, stalling progress on critical or important issues, etc. He should encourage citizens to call legislators, write letters, post on social media and take other constructive actions in accordance with the law and our political system.
All too often the left has mobilized to cause disruption, violate laws & norms or cause problems. While those believing in traditional American values should NOT ever engage in illegal conduct or cause disruptions, we - like the left, need to organize and become far more politically active in terms of small dollar donations, letter writing, social media posting, letters to the editors of our respective papers and actively engaging in America’s political processes. President-elect Trump should begin now, and continue as our President to use his platform to encourage traditional value citizens to organize and become active in order to make our voices known and heard by our political representatives.
Remember, politicians are NOT our rulers! They were elected by the general population and are SUPPOSED to represent our interests; NOT the interests of the political establishment. America didn’t become the once greatest nation on earth because of socialism, communism or a strong centralized authoritarian government ruling our general population. What made America so great was America’s traditional values of small government, individual responsibility, behavior equaling consequences, possession of a work ethic, living life without govt. impositions and burdensome regulations, freedom to succeed or fail on your own along with the freedom to try & try again after each failure until success was achieved, free speech, adherence to the rule of law, speedy/timely justice, etc.
America was the first nation on earth formed with the concept of being ruled by its people, its free people, rather than by its govt. or elite establishment rulers! If the original concept of our founding fathers is going to continue, we must re-establish an effective & meaningful system of checks, balances & accountability.
