    With the local elections coming up in many states what say we send the GOP a message. When you are in voting on your school board, levies, and other local issues, cancel your GOP affiliation and switch to independent. If people en masse did this we could start a movement that needs to be started. The current GOP is dead to me, has been for a long time.
