Please Sticky This: RNC is fighting amongst themselves

Hello,
I have been a life long Republican, having grown up in a family filled with people who appreciate conservative ideals. I walked door to door for George Bush in 2004 and Jim Oberweis for Illinois Governor in 2006. At that time I had to quit being a precinct captain at the local organization because they selected Judy Bar Topinka during the primary. I found this choice unacceptable and against my conservative ideals. I feel that I am going to have to do the same with on a federal level if John McCain receives the GOP nomination. John McCain is not a conservative or a Republican. He represents everything that is wrong with our party. We've moved from a small government fiscally responsible group to big government spenders. We don't even raise taxes to pay for it. We take the much more cowardly approach of printing the money.
Ron Paul is the only candidate that fulfilled my visions of what a candidate should be. What the GOP did to him by completely ignoring or openly mocking him is reprehensible. I've given $261.11 to the Ron Paul campaign and more hours than I can count. I feel good about what I've done for the party, do you?
Regards,

Thank you!
I learned two things today!
Additionally, I wrote a political party a letter, which I have never done before either.
Here it is (hope it is ok):
It greatly saddens me that our once great party has declined so greatly!
The young people are leaving in droves and going with the Democrats. This has got to be changed!
The only candidate that supports all the traditional Republican values that I and my family treasure is Dr. Ron Paul. Dr. Paul would pull in so many of the young people that we have lost and are losing too. Yet, he is being ignored by the mainstream media. Surely, the party could change this mockery of a free and unbiased election process?
The mockery continues by having the least conservative candidate have the apparent nod and approval for the Republican nominee. I am horrified at this! I cannot and will not EVER vote for John McCain.

So then all you get is Huckabee. Big deal. They will never go with Ron Paul. They will turn to a crazy preacher instead. A man who has promised to blow Iran off the map with nuclear weapons. Nice.
The GOP wants the power that Ron Paul doesn't want government to have. I am not sure I can make it any clearer. Look at their position statements. They want to run our lives and our economy. They want to tell people who can get married, who can serve in the military. They want world domination with world banking and a world government.
The GOP is a very large very statist organization. Ron Paul is the antithesis of all that. Why would they want him? They have dirty tricks up their sleeves and news anchors in their pockets and trillions of dollars at their disposal. You think they are going to be shaking in their boots and come running to Ron Paul - the man they have been actively making fun of all year - the man they don't invite to their parties?
Have fun with your letter writing campaign, but don't have illusions about what it will accomplish.
They HATE Ron Paul much more than any other candidate including Hillary Clinton.

Chairman Duncan,
As a lifelong Republican, Navy Veteran, and concerned citizen, I am appalled that Senator John McCain is even being considered as a candidate for President on the Republican ticket.
It amazes me that the media has the audacity to ask Congressman Paul if he belongs in the Republican party, when the obvious question would be to ask Senator McCain if he belongs in the Democratic Party.
What is going on here? The most conservative candidate, Congressman Ron Paul, has been marginalized and ignored by both our party, and the media. Congressmen Paul is "the gold standard of conservatism". It is extremely disheartening to see my party treat him as an outcast. It would appear, the Republican Party I once loved, has in fact, lost it's way.
The Republican Party has always stood for smaller government, lower taxes, individual freedoms, free markets, a strong national defense, and a foreign policy of non-intervention. To be, as Ronald Regan stated, the shining city on the hill, and a beacon of hope for the rest of the world. Unbelievably, our shining city on the hill is starting to dull, and the beacon of hope for the world is quickly fading.
I have, in the past, contributed to the Republican party. I will no longer offer my support to a party which chooses candidates that do not only not believe in the conservative platform, but act in the same manner by voting for legislation that opposes it.. I am no longer voting for the lesser of two evils, I am voting my conscious, regardless of the consequences, even If this means the Democratic candidate wins in the Presidential election.
You may believe that Senator McCain can pull the party together, but his blatant callousness of singing bomb bomb bomb Iran, at his speech in North Carolina reeks of warmongering. War is a serious matter. As a veteran, I cannot, and will not, support Senator McCain, who would then be Commander in Chief.
I firmly believe we should find and punish the persons responsible for any attack on our nation, or our people, even if we have to chase them to the gates of hell, however, I do not believe the seriousness of killing people should be taken so lightly.
It almost appears as if this was an intentional decision to push liberals into power. It seams to be working. Let us hope this not be the case. Unfortunately, as bad as this might sound, I would rather have the Democrats win instead of Senator McCain. At least I know what I am getting.
I am voting in the primary for Congressman Paul, and I will vote for Congressman Paul come November, even if I have to pencil his name on the ballot.
It is unfortunate the GOP has decided to zip up the tent when the only true conservative candidate tried to get in. Amazing. Amazing.

Subject: Understanding The Problem
Me: Lifelong Small Government Conservative
McCain: Not a proponent of small government, low taxes, secure borders, or American soverignty
Huckabee: see McCain. Except, he talks about small government and low taxes, but acts in opposite of his speech. Hey, at least he may secure the borders.
You: Responsible for supporitng these two, along with ANYONE else running on (and making a mockery of) the real Conservative platform
Ron Paul: Quite possibly the only Republican candidate to come along in over a decade that has actualy proposed RETURNING TO THE ORIGNAL TENANTS OF THE PLATFORM
Ultimatum: Start acting like the GOP truly is concerned about the values it has espoused in rhetoric, but failed to act on in years, or the base will fail you. To wit: the Republican Liberty Caucaus will continue to grow in its membership, and the REAL conservatives will continue to abstain from voting for any of your false-conservative puppets. There will be a coup from within if you do not succeed in reorganizing the party around its own values yourselves.
Thank You,
NBR

What a shame, if Paul had not sent that emil and had made just a half ass effort to rally us for a money bomb, he would have been the only man standing at the convention. Either his campaign staff are traitors or Paul is naive. What a heartbreaking loss for myself, for all of you and my country.

Just sent my emails.
My letter.
Hello Sir or Madam,
As a fellow member of the GOP, I'm sure you have many people breathing down your neck as to who is the best choice for the nomination. Upwards of 20% of the party have decided to simply leave. Republicans will not choose a liberal, McCain or Huckabee, when they have a conservative, Ron Paul.
Yes, the name may seem taboo to many. But, how long will it take before the name of the Republican Party becomes taboo? The 20% of missing supporters answers that.
And, it's growing. Tell the voters to vote for the true conservative, Ron Paul, and the party will not decline to the shameful status of Democrat-lite.
Regretfully,
Luis Chongo

This is what I sent. I used the Ronald Reagan angle.
The subject line was "Fixing the GOP"
Mr. Duncan,
I am writing to find out what you are doing to fix the GOP. When Ann Coulter states she would campaign and vote for Hillary Clinton over John McCain, there is obviously a problem. I'm actually glad she said it because I thought I was the only one wondering why McCain was being hyped as a good candidate.
I have NEVER voted for a Democrat in a Presidential race but I will never give John McCain my vote either.
Right now I am supporting Ron Paul. Why? Because he was one of the few who stood up for Ronald Reagan when he was running, and Ronald Reagan said many good things about Ron Paul. THAT is what I am looking for in a GOP candidate, someone who is going back to the GOP roots.
Please get the party back to its roots or the Democrats are going to take control of the White House!!!
Regards,
Rhonda Holland
