CobbProb Is Exploring Something New. Should We Build It?

We’re exploring a private platform for conservatives to learn, organize, and launch real action - but only if the community wants it.

Why This Survey Matters and What We’re Building Together

When you fill out the CobbProb Community Survey, you’re not just checking a few boxes - you’re helping us decide whether to launch something different. Not another PAC. Not another Facebook group. Not another faction.

We're considering building a private platform - not just a new chatroom, but a fully featured space with courses, event tools, member-led initiatives, and clean moderation - where real conservatives can:

• Learn how local politics actually works (not just the brochure version)

• Connect by geographic region based on the number of participants, not just memes and outrage

• Be part of something focused, funded, and free of the political donor class

This wouldn’t be public. It wouldn’t be on social media. And it wouldn’t be owned by people trying to sell you something.

It would be moderated, not censored - meaning conversation standards, not ideological tests. We’re not interested in groupthink. We’re interested in forward motion.

We're exploring this idea because the current tools are failing us. But if there’s not enough interest — we won’t build it.

Who This Is For

This is for you if:

• You’re sick of infighting, silence, or spam

• You want to understand — and influence — how the GOP works locally

• You have an idea, but need infrastructure to grow it

• You’re tired of big donors controlling everything

The Problem Isn’t Differences. It’s the Lack of Tools for Disciplined Partnership

Republican movements aren’t falling apart because of disagreement - they’re collapsing because we don’t have platforms that manage disagreement with maturity.

Tools like Signal and Facebook groups are fine for alerts, but they offer no structure for disagreement. You either fall in line or get silenced, banned, or pushed out - and that introduces personal grievance.

The result? People who could work together… don’t. Not because they disagree on everything - but because the tools made it impossible to disagree productively.

A true platform changes that:

• Creates time-bound, goal-based collaboration

• Supports space-specific moderation with standards, not egos

• Allows temporary engagement without forced loyalty

We don’t need to erase differences. We need to contain them, contextualize them, and work around them when possible.

More than a Chatroom

We’re considering building:

• Focused local spaces by region or mission

• Training courses that explain the GOP system from the inside

• A history archive so hard-earned lessons aren’t forgotten between cycles

• Space to run playbooks - not just complain that no one else is

• Video hosting, live events, and streamed sessions for richer engagement

The CobbProb platform would be:

• Private and ad-free

• Moderated with transparent guidelines

• Independent. No PACs, no data sales, no hidden donors

This isn’t just about this cycle - it’s about building something that persists.

🌱 Have a Big Idea? Get the Space to Grow It

This platform isn’t just for consuming information - it’s for launching bold ideas.

If you have a project, strategy, or training idea that aligns with the platform’s mission, you can apply to host a dedicated space inside the community.
These are not public megaphones - they are organized initiative hubs, built to focus efforts and foster accountability.

These initiative spaces:

• Must meet minimum requirements for clarity, purpose, and leadership

• Can tap into shared tools for course delivery, training, and historical preservation

• Can invite others from the broader member base to participate, learn, or lead

That placement fits naturally. It sets expectations before listing the requirements and avoids any misreading that people can just "self-promote."

These initiative spaces might include:

• A precinct-based team organizing for the next convention cycle

• A watchdog group focused on multi-year judicial oversight

• A voter education initiative targeting ballot referenda

• A team of legal researchers documenting precedent and case law

• A temporary group planning a public protest or event coordination

This system also benefits the broader community: it provides a structure where:

• Users can voluntarily discover and join initiatives that interest them

• Initiative leads gain visibility without needing to spam group chats

• Everyone avoids the noise of constant project pitches while still having access to vetted, mission-aligned efforts

We want to make it easier for leaders to find supporters - and for supporters to find real missions, not just noise.

How You Help by Taking the Survey

Every response gives us a better map.

• What people need

• What people would pay (if anything)

• Who’s ready to lead

• Where we can group people meaningfully

If we launch, you’ll be the first to know. And if we don’t - you’ll know why.

🧡 Thank you. You’re not just filling out a survey - you’re helping us decide whether to build a space that puts constitutional conservatism back in charge. A space for real people, led with integrity, built to last.

What Happens Next?

Once we review survey results, we’ll decide whether to move forward - and if so, you’ll be among the first invited to help shape the beta launch, pilot spaces, and first community training.
