that I turn to most to basically deliver a simple

point, which is, you're going to make choices.

You're going to challenge. You're going to say,

"Why not?" You're going to figure out how to do

things that have never been done before. But

here's the deal: These are your choices. They are

no one else's.

In 1947, when Mao Zedong was being challenged within his own party on his plan to

basically take China over, Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist Chinese held the cities, they

had the army, they had the air force, they had everything on their side. And people said,

"How can you win? How can you do this? How can you do this against all of the odds

against you?" And Mao Zedong said, you know, "You fight your war, and I'll fight mine."

And think about that for a second. You know, you don't have to accept the definition of

how to do things, and you don't have to follow other people's choices and paths, OK? It is

about your choices and your path. You fight your own war. You lay out your own path. You

about your choices and your path. You fight your own war. You lay out your own path. You

figure out what's right for you. You don't let external definition define how good you are

internally. You fight your war. You let them fight theirs.

Everybody has their own path. And then Mother Teresa, who, upon receiving a letter from

a fairly affluent young person who asked her whether she could come over and help with

that orphanage in Calcutta, responded very simply: "Go find your own Calcutta." OK? Go

find your own Calcutta. Fight your own path. Go find the thing that is unique to you, the

challenge that is actually yours, not somebody else's challenge.

Comrades Reed & Bush

In a recent phone interview with The Phoenix Gazette, Reed

said that the war metaphor is apt. "Mao Tse-Tung said

politics is war without bloodshed," he said. "Clearly, there

are some metaphors that sit nicely with politics."

"It's like guerrilla warfare. If you reveal your location, all it does is

allow your opponent to improve his artillery bearings. It's better to

move quietly, with stealth, under cover of night. ... It comes down

to whether you want to be the British army in the Revolutionary

War or the Viet Cong. History tells us which tactic was more

effective.

By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one

can make a people see even heaven as hell or an

extremely wretched life as paradise.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people

will eventually come to believe it.

"Language: A Key

Mechanism of Control"

As you know, one of the key points in the GOPAC tapes is that "language matters." . . . .

As the tapes have been used in training sessions across the country and mailed to As the tapes have been used in training sessions across the country and mailed to

candidates we have heard a plaintive plea: "I wish I could speak like Newt."

That takes years of practice. But, we believe that you could have a significant impact on

your campaign and the way you communicate if we help a little. That is why we have

created this list of words and phrases.

This list is prepared so that you might have a directory of words to use in writing literature

and mail, in preparing speeches, and in producing electronic media. The words and

phrases are powerful. Read them. Memorize as many as possible. And remember that like

any tool, these words will not help if they are not used.
