RNC Statement on Changes to Rules of the Republican Party
LOS ANGELES, CA—RNC Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement regarding rules of the Republican Party as voted on at the RNC Spring Meeting in Los Angeles, CA: “During the general session at the RNC Spring Meeting, the membership overwhelmingly voted to empower the state parties and grassroots in the selection of delegates,” said Chairman Reince Priebus. “We all agree the grassroots are the center of this party and are vital to winning elections.

Social Conservatives write letter to RNC, threaten to leave GOP
Below is a an open letter to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus from social conservatives who are threatening to leave the GOP if they don't remain pure. While this writer is a social conservative, we think that the GOP needs all comers from right of center politics. Yes, that includes moderates. We totally expect that the Republican party will split soon as will the Democrats. Hopefully one day we will have a four party system where each has to work together to to get bills passed. The two party system is failing (as was told to us by our founders) because polarization has paralyzed Washington to not tackle the tough issues because of purity or progressive ideology. America needs a Far left, Moderate left, Moderate Right, Far Right party system in order [...]

Open Letter From a Black Republican Women to the GOP
Dear Reince Priebus: I was raised as an agnostic socialist. I became conservative as an adult after I had a unique opportunity to see how the policies I had supported all my life actually worked when applied. Black Republican Women Kira Davis writes a letter to RNC Head. (Media Credit: The Independent Journal) I read the whole Constitution for the first time and I fell in love with this country. I researched and reasoned. I believe our path as a nation has been ordained and blessed by God. The success of American values has drawn freedom-seeking immigrants from across the globe in hopes of finding some measure of personal success. As I always say, America doesn’t owe anyone an opportunity, America IS the opportunity. Lately, we have seen that opportunity being maligned and [...]
