A recent post here talked about helping to re-populate the GOP. In the interest of equal time, I am sharing the below information from the book entitled The Neighborhood Project (click to learn more about it). It deals with working on what we agree upon, and building a coalition in your voting precinct via non-partisan education of those within your precinct. Some call this concept principle over party. My work on several issues has taught me they are supported or opposed by a broad political spectrum of people.
Here is a link to Chapter 3 of the book, dealing with political parties:

The entire book is available for sale by clicking the link in the first paragraph. I have no financial interest in the book, but I do support this concept.
