Note to Republicans: Don’t blow it…

An open letter to our GOP / Republican officials:

Dear Republican leaders – be you a Senator, House Representative, Local Party Chair or National Committee Chairman… there are few things I want you to know:

First, Brown’s victory in Massachusetts was NOT a result of people moving back toward the GOP.  It was a result of people wanting to put the brakes on the Obama express.  GOP leaders, to date, have DONE NOTHING TO DESERVE A SHIFT – so - don’t fool yourself and think that is what happened – it didn’t.

Second, Brown’s victory was not about stopping insurance and litigation reform, it was about stopping the nationalizing of the healthcare system.  Therefore, you must lead a CONSERVATIVE effort to repair some significant healthcare related issues that are broken such as:

  1. Portability of health insurance.
  2. Elimination of pre existing limitations.
  3. Tort reform.
  4. Transparency of healthcare provider relationships to insurance companies for pricing, billing and the like.

Third, Brown’s victory was not about stopping progress to protect the environment, it was about stopping cap and trade.  Therefore, you must lead a CONSERVATIVE effort to address significant environmental concerns that are REAL.  There are many issues to chose from… pick some and start with the farmers not getting water in California.

Fourth, Brown’s victory was not about shifting power or control away from the liberal left, it was about creating a balance of power between the left and the right.  Don’t become what you have complained about… reach across the aisle… but STAY CONSERVATIVE and offer solutions that the American people will support.  STAY CONSERVATIVE!

Fifth, Brown’s victory was 100% about sending a message to all parties in politics that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!  Brown actually brings to the table the hope for change Obama campaigned on!!

Let me remind you of a few conservative principles that are easily embraced by most Americans:

  1. Stop spending.  Stop spending. Stop spending.
  2. Reduce the size of the government.
  3. Stop spending.
  4. Read a bill before you vote on it.
  5. Reduce taxes.
  6. Stop the pork. Stop the pork. Stop the pork.
  7. Know, read, and live by the constitution.
  8. Stop spending, stop spending, stop spending.
  9. Did I mention stop spending?

Sixth, if you use Brown’s victory as a platform to resurrect the Republican arrogance and ignorance of old, you will have learned and gained nothing AND we the people will throw everyone of you out of office the first chance we get.  (Kevin – I hope you still read this – not one dime from me until you are 100% fiscally conservative – 100% of the time!  You voted for the bailout – remember?)

Seventh, Brown’s victory is about listening to the people regarding the people’s business in the people’s seat in the people’s chambers.  And most of them are fiscally conservative.  Don’t forget it.

Eighth – to both parties – ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY.  Drill here, drill now, build new sources here, build new sources now… figure this out.  If you can’t, then quit.

Ninth – to both parties – HOMELAND SECURITY IS NOT A JOKE.  Figure this out and quit playing games.  Take the terrorists to trial as enemies of the US, not citizens who have committed a crime.  If you cannot do this, then put them in the DC courts, in DC jails and do not spend a DIME of my money on them!

Tenth – to both parties – you both moan about big business and big corporations, executive pay, and unfairness, yet, when it is time for any one of them to die in the economic life cycle, you prop them up totally disregarding the most basic economic principle of supply and demand.  You have saved countless corporations that have FULL SUPPLY and ZERO DEMAND.  STOP THAT CRAP!

On a side note, I called Kay Bailey's office last week… what a joke.  Her staff is RUDE, ARROGANT and needs to be fired.  If you live in Texas and vote for this bag of old washed up political tricks… then shame on you.

SARAH PALIN – would you move to Texas and be our Governor?  By the way… I can’t wait to see you in our State in a few weeks!  Lunch? I know a great place in Austin!

Note to self – they will blow this… because they think being a conservative means being a Republican and the two are not even close.

I guess I should run on a write-in platform. 

Write-ins for me? Anyone? Anyone?
