Response to GOP Chairman Michael Steele

The Country DOES need a Choice.

Hey folks,

OK. So I got this in the Emails on Saturday. It's from GOP Chairman Michael Steele. What he says is one hundred percent correct. I also agree that America needs a choice. But I have some advice for Chairman Michael Steele. Here is what he sent me.

"Last year the Democrats told voters they would bring "change" to Washington, but their version of change has been to push America to the left farther and faster than I think anyone could have imagined.

That is why I believe America needs the Republican Party now more than ever before.

Across our nation, some people who were willing to take Barack Obama at his word when he campaigned as a reasonable, moderate candidate are coming to realize the unfortunate truth.

Candidate Obama talked about fiscal responsibility, about government living within its means. But President Obama is spending with reckless abandon and saddling our children and grandchildren with mountains of debt.

Candidate Obama boasted about cutting taxes. But President Obama will have to raise taxes to pay for his massive top-down government explosion.

Candidate Obama talked a lot about being bipartisan, but he has yielded his legislative agenda almost entirely to Nancy Pelosi who has repeatedly shut Republicans out of negotiations on important legislation, from economic stimulus to the budget to health care.

President Obama and his Congressional allies have shown America their true agenda.They are leftist radicals bent on transforming our constitutional republic into a socialist "utopia" by
dismantling the free enterprise system, eroding the rule of law, imperiling our national security, and curtailing our freedom.

A groundswell of popular grassroots opposition to the Obama Democrats' unprincipled power grab and failed policies is rising across America.

Tea Party movements to protest outrageous confiscatory taxation by Washington, renewed enthusiasm for strong local government, and concern for the loss of traditional American values are growing.

I have travelled extensively since being elected RNC chairman, meeting with state party leaders and grassroots activists alike.

There is genuine enthusiasm for a Republican balance to the reckless excesses of the president and congressional Democrats. I believe the Republican Party can ride that wave of local enthusiasm to victory in upcoming elections.

And that is why I'm asking you to continue your support of our efforts. America is looking for leadership and it's our responsibility to step up and provide it. Please help us lay the groundwork to win back government for the American people by
making a contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50 or $25 to the Republican National Committee today. Your gift will support the recruitment and election of principled candidates who will roll back the Democrats' damage and govern with humility and respect.

Our time is coming. We can and must be ready to lead the fight. Thank you."

Sincerely,

"Signed"

Michael Steele
Chairman, Republican National Committee


So you want money from me and other Americans to help the Republican Party? I only have one question. Why? I'm being serious here. Why? Why would Americans WANT to give you a dime? Sorry, but the growing disdain for Obama is not good enough. "We ain't the Democrats," is not good enough.

Back in the day, there came along a man named Newt. Newt saw what was going on in the country, saw the problems with the Liberals trying to run things, and he came out and gave an ALTERNATIVE. He did not say, vote for us, we ain't them. He came up with a viable, concise, plan. "The Contract with America." He said HOW the Republicans differ from those in power. He said WHY the Republicans held the views they did back then. He took responsibility for past failures and promised a new beginning. It worked. The Republican Party won.

Now we need to talk about what happened AFTER. After they got into power. Nothing. More of the same. Oh you can find some good points here and there, but in essence, some of the Republicans in power attempted to out Lib the Liberals. Government continued to grow. Spending continued to grow. Some of the moves toward social policies began to look just like the Democrats. Then came Bush.

Bush has successfully defended this country and kept us safe. One could still argue, as I did before hand, that Iraq was not really an immediate necessity, but kept us from being attacked again? No doubt about that. But a Conservative does this not make. He began talking about using tax monies to fund programs that some Conservatives do not believe in. He started talking about Amnesty. He started the whole bailout thing. It is of my honest opinion that the Republicans became drunk with their new found power. They became Liberals. In a matter of speaking.

So the American people voted them out. Now, the Liberals are back in. The "Progressives" AKA Communists, now have total power with the BIGGEST Socialistic driven President in history. Trillions spent, nothing solved. The Economy is the worse it has been, if not EVER, most definitely in the past 25 years. Everything is a mess even though the MMD and the President are NOW {to late but now} attempting to talk up the Economy.

Yes Mr. Steele, Americans are waking up. More and more are starting to wave off the effects of the Obamaid, and they are starting to take a look around. They do not like what they see. So now you come along and say now is the time. You are right. We need to have balance brought back to government. We need to slow this freight train called the Obama agenda down. But it will be harder than you think.

EVERY person running for office, from the dog catcher to the Senator, need to tell people WHY they are better for the Country. They need to return to their UNWAVERING Conservative VALUES. They need to EXPLAIN WHY Conservatism is better. What Conservatism IS. They need to show people a viable, concise plan.

Now I know that you and some other Republicans have been out their talking about Rush, and Christian Conservatives, and talking about what you must do to get votes. Like back away from the Abortion issue, and Gay Marriage. You think it wise to alienate people that are unwilling to compromise their true beliefs and fundamental core values? It's not. Becoming the Left, is what got you out of power to begin with. Here are a few things that you need to refocus on.

1 - The Constitution is the Final Authority.
2 - Abortion IS Murder. It is also NOT a Constitutional Right.
3 - Smaller, less intrusive Government. Let the American People BE the American People.
4 - NO AMNESTY! Period.
5 - The fact that Government is not the solution to the problem. Government IS the Problem.
6 - Marriage is legally defined by a Union of One Man and One Woman.
7 - Stop interfering in the Free Market. Stop attempting to control Private Industries.
8 - Before the Government starts creating idiotic laws that will hurt the average American, make sure that you actually have REAL Scientific Evidence to back it up. Not to mention, and Constitutional Right to do what you want to do.
9 - Being humble goes a long way. BE the Party "By the People, FOR the People"
10 - Do not go around apologizing for America's Greatness. CELEBRATE IT. Show us how you plan to keep us safe, and show those that would like to kill us, they will lose, in NO uncertain terms.

Before a Conservative Independent like me, or any TRUE Conservatives out there, be they Republican, or even Democrat, {Can be done, remember Reagan Democrats?} are going to give you a chance, let alone a Dime, you are going to have to prove to us that you are the better choice. That there is actually a difference. America NEEDS something new, fresh, and SANE. We need a choice. Right now? There seems to be little prospects that you have anything to offer.
Peter
