Mr. Reince Priebus
Chairman of the National Republican Party
310 First Street, SE
Washington, D.C. 2003
Dear Mr. Priebus,
I have been voting Republican since a young man, now retired in my late 70’s. I always embraced the ideals of the Republican Party and its support for my family values that went back to those conservative patriarchs who passed to me their success from living in the most productive country in the world. It was a time when America was considered the world’s moral leader, attracting millions of freedom-loving people from all over the globe to its shores begging the same opportunities for their families.
But I have become extremely disturbed over recent years watching the GOP declare war on conservatives because their candidates for office refuse to adopt the progressive values the Republican Party has been pigging out on at Washington's trough. This was stunning to me, having already watched the Democrat Party in 2008 sell out its conservative members by telling them to take a hike after the election of the party’s radical socialist candidate, Barack Obama.
Consequently, I now find myself in agreement with many Tea Party candidates as I watch the GOP give its finger to my values as old fashioned and offensive. And I don’t like it. Therefore, I am left with no other option than to provide my financial support to Tea Party candidates who seek Congressional seats in Washington D.C. for January 2015.
The GOP has continued to let me down, refusing to learn that its stand for progressive values has allowed the party to be stomped on again and again as American voters no longer recognize the brand. Since the loss of John McCain for president in 2008, one would think the GOP got the message that when liberal voters have a choice between Democrat "lite" and Democrat they ask, Why should I vote for lite when I can have the real thing?
And with the GOP allowed to be “taken for rides across the Congressional aisle,” it seems the result is always to aid progressive agendas while providing no gain to conservatives. Well I have to say enough is enough. I'm tired of watching liberal progressives being allowed to create more images of the GOP as filled with wimps and non-caring members for poor Americans.
This in turn allows the liberal's mainstream media to run those images as content from coast to coast to support continued out-of-control Democrat spending to buy votes while Barack Obama plows over the Constitution as an inconvenience for extracting more executive power.
But most frustrating is to have to watch the GOP in Congress year after year go after the failed policies and decisions of appointees of the Obama administration, from Fast & Furious to Benghazi, investigations resulting in zero convictions and zero consequences to the guilty. For instance, who can forget during the sequester when Obama gave illegals permission to have their open- air meeting on the mall with Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats while our vets were being barred from their memorial just a short distance away because their government was shut down to them.
From this day forward I will support conservatives for upcoming elections, since they are no longer tied to any mission of the GOP. That’s because I know if these conservative candidates win they will take the necessary steps to stop this madness of the progressive's call to the collective for “fairness and social engineering for all,” and instead return America to "individual freedom and justice for all."
I don’t think I need to tell you this country will never recover to its status in the world if Hillary is elected to run it down until 2024, remembering the death of our treasures under her watch being reduced to acceptable collateral damage in Benghazi. I never thought I would say this, but I now have no choice but to say goodbye to a political party that has become irrelevant to the future of the United States of America.
