Political Power vs Political Access

“You have to be politically FEARED to be politically RESPECTED.”

Published

on

We have written about this before (HERE) … but it seems time for a reminder.

The #1 mistake we see new people and groups getting involved in the political process … the mistake we made ourselves (so not judging) … is people confuse “Power” with “Access”.

Access “feels” nice. You are listened to, you have a seat at the table, your phone calls are returned … they say nice things about you … but access really means you are “Never being perceived as a threat.” You may think you are friends with these people … but as President Truman said, if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog!

Power however is actually getting a politician to do what you want them to do … even if that is as simple as getting them to do what they said they would do on the campaign trial … or to simply follow the Republican Platform.


[NOTE: Another novice “misunderstanding” is thinking people / politicians / GOP officials would never just outright lie to your face. Trust no one!!! Verify everything!!! Good people don’t mind you asking questions. Know that these people lie constantly.

MAKING THE HARD “ASK”:  But wait until you ask a legislator to do something … the basics … like provide us with Medical Freedom, take PORN Books out of our libraries and schools … or God forbid you ask them to give us CLOSED PRIMARIES!!!  

Ask them specifically what they will do, and all of a sudden you will learn there are 1,000 “excuses” … and you will know the difference between “political access” and “political power”. 

We have seen it with SCHOOL CHOICE.  Kids are needlessly suffering, it is an easy fix, and even the most far right school choice supporters cower at the prospect of crossing the “establishment”.  They know the issue, yet they won’t speak up.  That is when you know their true character.


Once you ask for something objectively right to do, but against the power structure … you will find out real quick your “access” means nothing. We did!!!

Your phone calls will no longer be returned. You will finally understand that politicians only care about getting elected or re-elected … and you will learn that unless you have the ability to REPLACE THEM, what you want for “We The People” really won’t matter if what you ask for is “hard”.

On the wall at HQ:

“You have to be politically FEARED to be politically RESPECTED.”


As we stated the last time we discussed this topic … if you don’t see it yet, you will, so just give it time and keep asking questions.

But if you are still excited to get a “selfie” with Lindsey Graham, you are probably reading the wrong daily emails and might want to unsubscribe. 😉

James 4:17

Acting on knowledge of what is right, rather than remaining passive or choosing comfort, convenience, petty or self-interest over moral conviction drives the true patriots into action.

Watching those knowing a policy or decision would benefit the common good yet witnessing them avoid supporting it due to political pressures or personal gain makes you realize that they were never serious about the mission or in many cases, they got involved for nefarious reasons to begin with.

Failing to do what is right—when you know better—carries spiritual and ethical consequences and requires reflection on whether your political involvement mirrors your understanding of what is good and just.

To him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

James 4:17

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), proverbs 13:4 is a powerful reminder that your efforts are not wasted!

Happy Sunday!

Proverbs 13:4

Published

on

Proverbs 13:4 is a powerful reminder that your efforts are not wasted! Even when immediate results are hard to see, when it feels like your hard work is not producing results, trust that in fact the change is incremental and often requires decades of persistent work by dedicated individuals.

Your years of showing up, whether through grassroots organizing, advocating, educating others, or amplifying contentious voices are laying the foundation for change and the change itself! Just think of those that used to be involved and are not today. Your ability to keep going, sets you apart!

“The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.”

Proverbs 13:4

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), consistency builds integrity … turns values into impact. Sadly we watch fellow patriots “turn” … change their stances, go against those that they should be supporting based on their convictions.

Happy Sunday!

Isaiah 1:17

Consistency builds integrity … turns values into impact. Sadly we watch fellow patriots “turn” … change their stances, go against those that they should be supporting based on their convictions.

Why people change? Constantly navigating conflicting views or defending unpopular stances can easily lead to burnout. As we all know, politics can also reward compromise with tangible benefits.

It’s about recognizing these pressures and choosing to prioritize principle over ease, even when it’s hard. Those who steadfastly uphold justice and compassion, refusing to bend under pressure, are the real winners. Their unwavering commitment to doing right, defending the oppressed, and advocating for the vulnerable, creates lasting impact and earns true respect, outshining those who trade integrity for fleeting gains.

“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.”

Isaiah 1:17

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), when do you set boundaries? While you try to correct the bad behavior with clarity and grace, pay attention to patterns.

Happy Sunday!
