If you feel of a similar bent the address is chairman@gop.com .
I am disappointed at the lack of Conservative values represented in the leading Republican Presidential Candidate, John McCain. I had this problem a few weeks ago during our Primary here in Florida, I cast my vote for the most conservative left on the ticket. Even though my personal choice had already left the race.
My reason was to show the National Committee. the backing for dedicated Conservative principals. Many others agreed, with large turn outs in the states for "any other " Republican candidate. I do not want 65% Conservatives running my party, and the 40%er's getting out to vote for any other candidate left on the ballot should have sent a huge message to the Party bigwigs. It didnt matter if they won, the fact that we went out and Voted. Your number crunchers can read and McCain may well have the nomination wrapped up. But the VOTERS still put up 40% anti J.Mc this should have made huge statement to 'said' Candidate and the National Committee, to make a solid binding commitment to the Conservative base of our Party, or take the real risk of those same Core Conservatives sitting it out in November.
The 40% non-vote for McCain seems to be given nothing more than polite acknowledgment by the R.N.C. at best and disdain to the same people representing these voters as "nuts" or "Christian right" I am not a nut, nor according to my Aunt a Christian, but I believe a Conservative with a Libertarian bent. I believe the majority of the other 40%er's are of a similar mentality. These good people are the party's core. They went out and voted in droves even though they didn't have a horse in the race. Thats dedication that should not be so cavalierly discarded as it seems to be.
We have a big tent in the Republican Party and I can vote in November for McCain, without holding my nose, be cause I know in my heart he is a honorable man and will defend this Country to the death. But I wont vote for him if I feel he will run roughshod the party I have supported for 29 years.
So what will it take to convince me, simple, a NEW CONTRACT WITH AMERICA, signed by him. Nothing fancy, 2 or 3 pages double spaced with bullets, probably 25 or 30 points that tell me absolutely where he will stand and who his running mate will be. I want to see a little "straight talk", then I will decide. If he passes muster and I will put my time and money behind him and the R.N.C.. If he doesn't pass muster I will give him and the National Committee nothing, absolutely nothing. I will support local candidates locally with my monies but nothing for the R.N.C. to disperse, in fact VOTING WITH MY CHECKBOOK.
I am not a Suicide Voter and some Conservatives would call me a RINO, because I am pro-choice. I might said the same thing, a time or to, in the heat of an argument about someone's lack of support for the 2nd Amendment. But I feel I could pass anyone's "Conservative Test" with at least a 90% or better and I won't vote for someone to represent me if I believe he will cause hurt to my family or my country.
I will still vote on the rest of the ballot for my state and local races, but I will not support someone who will lessen me.
