Blueprint for the new conservatives

It is apparent not only that conservatives have no hope for good policy outcomes if they continue to caucus with the Republican Party, but also that they will also risk losing their own seats because of an agenda that they oppose anyway.

For far too long, we've avoided pursuing a new party because it is impossible to create new ground in one election cycle.

4) A shadow government: Conservatives have been kicked off all the important committees.

Conservatives should sideline Congress and hold their own field hearings across the country, addressing the true causes of the problems we have with health care, drugs, immigration, education, separation of powers, corruption in government, an aimless foreign policy and use of the military, and other issues concerning consumers and taxpayers.

A plan to disentangle from the current system is the only viable way of creating momentum and movement for a new party in the long run.

It takes a new movement to start a new party, but it takes a new party to build that movement; otherwise it just gets sucked into the black hole of the GOP. By taking known elected Republicans and essentially declaring independence, we can jump-start both.

Eventually, many of these members should at least be able to run as Independents, if not on a specific new party line.
