Editor,

This letter is in response to Sheila Bell’s letter published last week. As one of the founders of Calling All Conservatives (CAC), I wanted to answer her question about the change of name. It changed because the group has new leadership, and had nothing to do with the Hamilton group as Sheila surmised.

It became very clear after our first two successful events that several people on our planning committee disagreed on how to move the group forward.  Some thought we should take advantage of the upcoming elections to become a forum for candidates, pushing political issues, while others believed that we should adhere to the original mission of educating citizens.

While I believe that all members of the original group have the same goal of restoring sanity back to our country and moving back to the standard of the Constitution, unfortunately we could not agree on how to get there.

Replacing our representatives with honorable men and women is a step in the right direction, but it will not fix the problem, nor will it restore our country back to the Constitutional Republic our Founders envisioned.

America’s true salvation lies not with political parties and politicians, but rather with educating our citizens about the Constitution and expecting them to take responsibility and action as needed to hold their representatives accountable for upholding their oath to defend the Constitution, and to protect our liberties.

The founders of CAC and a few others from the original group chose the path of citizen education, and left the group. To be clear, candidate forums were never the mission or vision of CAC. We’re currently developing a new strategy to achieve the original mission and intent of CAC.

Please look for additional information in the paper in upcoming weeks, and e-mail your questions and comments to fedupinmontana@gmail.com.

I wish all the best to Citizens Acting for Liberty, and hope that the people of Lake County support both efforts going forward.

Please get involved. Become part of the solution. The future of our country depends on it.
