Fait Accompli has some advice for Republicans in the States, but it also applies to Canadian pro-lifers:
When it comes to messaging the primary difference between liberals and conservatives is this: Liberals’ message always changes with the times as it relies on crises to carry weight, whereas; the conservative message never changes and never ages. The only thing that changes with the conservative message is the mode of delivery. This, my friends, is where we failed. We have not carried our message to the people. We fell behind the times with technology and the school systems. This is what has to change. If we change our methods of delivery we will again succeed. We need to embrace the newer technologies and forms of communication. We need to utilize the social networking sites. We need to get our message out in the only medium where we can reach the younger generations unfettered and unfiltered - the Internet.
And about all that advice for the Conservative (re: pro-life) cause:
We have instead had what the media keeps telling us we need more of: Dem Lites. Here’s the rub - those talking heads in the media ARE dems. Of course they want us to go Dem Lite. If you were a rabbit you wouldn’t seek the advice of the fox when it comes to prime hiding spots, would you? Then why should conservatives heed the advice of the liberal punditry?
Instead I suggest that the movement and leadership heed the advice of a young conservative. Invest in technology like the .com bubble never burst. Gather up the Beta-Males / Females and organise them… let them run wild on the Internet for you, spreading a consolidated and harmonious message. This is the age of the geek. Embrace it or fail to do so at your own peril.
