RNC, Senate and House GOP Leadership Getting the Message!

Bill Smith, Editor: There is evidence expressed by conservative GOP Senate and House members in recent months that they have heard the American public. Now, we note the effect on the national GOP campaign support committees.

As an example: Rob Jesmer, Executive Director, National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) advised today that over the last few months the NRSC has been been asking grassroots supporters for feedback on the political landscape and the NRSC efforts to elect more Republicans to the Senate in 2010. He said that the NRSC plans to use this information to improve our strategy as we work toward victory in November.

The results of these surveys clearly showed that Americans are fed up with Washington Democrats and their agenda of big government and bigger spending:
- 88% believe the best way to improve the American economy in 2010 is to reduce the size of the federal government and lower taxes, allowing Americans to keep more of the money they earn;
- 97% would like to see health care reform utilize free market solutions to lower the cost of care while increasing quality and accessibility;
- 89% believe the state of our union is weaker now than when Democrats took control of Washington.

As previously reported, the National GOP Committee had adopted guidelines in supporting candidates and unanimously called on RNC chairman, Michael S. Steele, to "carefully screen" candidates for their adherence to conservative values before granting them RNC financial help. The resolution specifically calls on the national chairman to take into account the voting records and statements of all GOP candidates for evidence that they support the "core principles and positions" of the party's national platform. They also stipulated that candidates who fail the screening should not receive money and other campaign support from the RNC or its sister committees. The resolution also calls on Mr. Steele and leaders of the House and Senate GOP campaign committees to deny financial and other support support to "candidates who clearly do not support the core principles and positions" of the national platform as adopted at the 2008 Republican National Convention.

For many months, the NRCC and Senate Republican Minority Leaders offices hve opened communication with conservative bloggers nationwide and have arranged numerous interviews and conference calls with Republican Senators and Representatives. This dialog has allowed members of Congress to share about issues and situations they face in Congress and has allowed "main street" bloggers to ask grassroots questions and to provide feedback from their area of the country.

It appears that a significant majority of incumbent Congressional Republicans have awakened to the conservative cry of America. There may be real Hope and Change in 2010 as the GOP is focused back on its conservative roots, platform and principles. I hope that the RNC, NRSC and NRCC will NOT interfere in primaries by providing financial support to its present members or to other GOP candidates before the State primaries are concluded. When the primaries are over, we expect these groups to help candidates and the  grassroots take back Congress in 2010.
