If you notice, the Valley has been silent for too many weeks. It will be silent for a few more.

However, I will not be available, I will be, once more, incommunicado. But if want to reach me, hit me up on my email: EDelacroix99@aol.com. Title it, Message from the Valley -- it will get to me.

I have some personal issues to take care of and hope you can wait just a little longer.

I will return in September, and the Valley will operate will all engines running at full blast.

The Republican Encyclicals: Letter to Karv and Todd

Please join in the Valley of the Shadow Annual Fundraiser. We are raising $7,700. Please hit the Tip Jar here to contribute. Thank you
----------------------------------------------------
Dear Karv and Todd,

It's nice to learn that the House Democrats do not believe in Democracy -- it makes writing these posts easier. As long as Democrats believe the lights should go out in the House or in Iraq or anyplace else that Democracy needs to rise, we can count on Speaker Pelosi to shut out that light.

This is the introduction post to the Republican Encyclicals, begat from the California Encyclicals (which were addressed to Todd), and the goals are still the same: It is a long term plan that Conservatives and Republicans can use to win. The Encyclicals are not just ideals, but strategies and tactics. In all the books talking of winning, ideas matter.

However, get used to this equation:

Ideas (15%) + Ideals (15%) + Image (25%) + Methods (15%) + Organization (30%) = New Republican majority


Why did I choose you guys? You know my family, you know me. You can get these ideas to the Floor of the House if they are good. However, Karv and Todd, I will be unavailable in the next month [see the next two posts], but when I return in September, there will be more.

Either I will visit DC with the Encyclicals in October or I will move there within 6 months of October. I see the tide coming, but some of us are determined to stand and fight.

To help make sense of the upcoming Encyclicals, first I suggest reading the California Encyclicals:

Prologue
Burbank, 1 and 2
Los Angeles 1 and 2
California 1, 2 and 3
Coda

(**so far, no one in California has sat down and discussed them with me yet -- and, yet, The California Republicans are still losing! Coincidence?**)

Here are things I will reference to help the case:

1) Frank Herbert's Dune series (the main books -- the reason will be written later)
2) Marvel Comics Story lines (I grew up on these and can't we just say the Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid are acting like Days of Future Past Sentinels?
3) Doctor Who -- which Democrat is like Davros?

While I'm busy in August, make sure people donate to Rep. Zimmer (R-NJ) and Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL-13) for this year's election.

Keep fighting the good fight!
