Rebuild the Republican Party

Rebuilding the Republican Party will be a struggle on many fronts. I've heard two basic lines of thought: 1.) we have lost our way, gotten off message or some other variant and, 2.) we must rebuild our brand.

Let's be sure, we got whooped in the last two elections, but I believe the conservative voice is still alive and well in America.

I find it offensive to listen to people that think we need to rename the party and start from the ground up with a new platform. This is the Grand Old Party. If you think you can do it better, then go start your own Party.
I also find it offensive, that in a Republic, people want to find fault with everything and everyone else without first taking a long hard look in the mirror. Our party, and our government is a reflection of every one of us. If we want to instill change, that change needs to start at home with me. And that change needs to start at home with you.
From my perspective I think that we have been let down by our leaders at every level. But I don't blame them, I blame myself. I haven't been doing everything I can to recruit, support and lift up quality candidates at our local level. If each of us do that in every neighborhood, in every precinct in every town in every state across the country we will reclaim lost ground.
We believe in self reliance, in limited, responsible government and in protection of individual, inanlienable rights. We need to engage and talk to people about these beliefs in a meaningful way and let them know how these ideas can profoundly effect their lives.
Republicans can win elections in Thurston County. Together we will win.
