Adams County Republican Offical Call Notice Adams County Voter Information
Jimmy Sengenberger is looking forward to be the featured speaker at The Reagan Club of Colorado for the month of May on Thursday, May 1st! The title of my presentation will be “Messaging Conservatism to Take America Back,” and at its cornerstone will be a four-step messaging system. Hope to see you there! Presentation details:
While conservatives may intuitively know and understand what “limited government,” “free markets,” and “personal responsibility” mean, the average American can’t picture it. The strength of the Left lies in the simplicity of their case: we believe in freedom and a strong middle class, but if someone needs help, we’ve got a duty to help them. If the rich can pay more to help people in need, why shouldn’t they? Do you really want grandma to be pushed off a cliff because conservatives cut Medicare? We have spent a century fighting to provide a government safety net for the poor and the

middle class and conservatives want to tear it down, so we should oppose their efforts because they will do harm to protect their rich buddies.
Conservatives today have a natural tendency to think logically and deliberately through the issues. We first examine our core principles, then we look at the facts, and finally we evaluate a response to those facts in the context of our understanding of human nature and the basic tenets of a free society. It’s hard for us to think emotionally and to connect personally to the average American in terms they can relate to – terms that will connect to them, but will also help reach understanding as to why our limited government approach is the best way to improve their lives.
This is by no means intended to suggest that conservatives abandon our logical, thoughtful approach to the issues. On the contrary, we must remain steadfast in pursuit of our principles and our rational approach to the issues. But in our presentation of these principles and policies – in the way in which we market and message conservatism – we must fundamentally change our approach. The next gathering of the Reagan Club will be all about messaging conservatism to take America back.
