Conservative Party (Maryland)

I got the strangest thing in my mail today.  It’s a questionnaire from the Republican National Party.  They want me to fill it out giving them my feelings about issues facing Americans.

1. Do you agree with Barack Obama and the Democrats that taxes should be raised for the sake of “fairness,” regardless of the negative impact it is likely to have on the economy?
2. Do you believe the federal government has gone too far in bailing out failing banks, insurance companies and the auto industry?
3. Do you support amnesty for illegal immigrants?
4. Should English be the official language of the United States?
5. Are you in favor of granting retroactive Social Security eligibility to illegal immigrants who gain U.S. citizenship through an amnesty program?
6. Are you in favor of the expanded welfare benefits and unlimited eligibility (no time, education or work requirements) that Democrats in Congress are pushing to pass?
7. Do you believe that Barack Obama’s nominees for federal courts should be immediately and unquestionably approved for their lifetime appointments by the U.S. Senate?
8. Do you believe that the best way to increase the quality and effectiveness of public education in the U.S. is to rapidly expand federal funding while eliminating performance standards and accountability?
9. Do you support the creation of a national health insurance plan that would be administered by bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.?
10. Do you believe that the quality and availability of health care will increase if the federal government dictates pricing to doctors and hospitals?
11. Are you confident that new medicines and medical treatments will continue to be developed if the federal government controls prescription drug prices and sets profit margins for research and pharmaceutical companies?
12. Are you in favor of creating a government-funded “Citizen Volunteer Corps” that would pay young people to do work now done by churches and charities, earning Corps Members the same pay and benefits given to military veterans?
13. Are you in favor of reinstituting the military draft, as Democrats in Congress have proposed?
14. Do you believe that the federal government should allow the unionization of Department of Homeland Security employees who serve in positions critical to the safety and security of our nation?
15. Do you support Democrats’ drive to eliminate workers’ right to a private ballot when considering unionization of their place of employment?

Over half a legal-sized page remained filled with ways for me to send $500 (obviously the preferred amount since it is listed first), $250, $100, $50, $30, Other amount.  Don’t you just know that’s going to happen??!!

Well, I have filled out their little questionnaire, and when I mail it back tomorrow, it will also include this little hand-written letter from me.

The Republican Party will get not one red cent from me!

You have abandoned “our” conservative values and ideals as much as or more than the Obamacrats!

The only reason I will vote for even one Republican is because the Conservative Party has not yet met all the requirements for fielding candidates of our own.

You blew it with me when you failed to speak up for Sarah Palin and allowed the McCain campaign to throw her under the bus.

You lost my support when you said we need to move to the center of right.

You lost my respect when you abandoned a truly conservative candidate in NY-23, Doug Hoffman, in favor of a candidate who is anything but conservative.

You gave up any chance you had of earning my respect back by saying that we have to support the candidates that can win.

No!  No more!  Not one red cent from me!

Here is the address is you would like to join me in my determination to see to it that the Republican Party actually HEARS the conservative voices of America:

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE

310 FIRST STREET S.E.

WASHINGTON, D.C.  20003

Obviously, the Conservative Voice is being heard more loudly than we thought.  Democrats in the House and Senate are “retiring” two at a time.  Not just the “keep a low profile” Dems either – these are the big guns.

The latest to join the ranks of the unemployed of their own volition are Senator Byron Dorgan of North Dakota and (thank God for answered prayers) Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut.  Bless their hearts they’re tired and ready to rest after their long illustrious (?) careers during which time they have sent America and Americans down the tubes.

It was Senator Dorgan, you may remember, who proposed an amendment to the Harry Reid Socialistic Health Care for a Socialistic America Bill to allow consumers to buy FDA-approved drugs from other countries.  In a twist of Harry Reid’s nose, the pharmaceutical industry in America opposed this amendment thus it was defeated in the Senate by a 51-48 vote.

Senator Dodd, of course, was responsible for the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac debacle among others. He was also implicated as having received major kickbacks from Countrywide Financial Corp. which was under investigation by the Connecticut Attorney General’s office.

These two retirements are really good news for our Conservative voices.  They will have little lasting meaning unless we join together in North Dakota and Connecticut as well as our other 48 states to defeat the liberal incumbents who are seeking reelection in 2010 and have not as yet received our message.  Please be reminded that liberals are not only Democrats.  They are Republican, Liberty, and Independent party members also.

Find them, Conservatives of America!  Find them under whichever rock they are choosing to hide and let them know that we are deadly serious.  We WILL remove them from office in 2010 and replace them with truly conservative Representatives and Senators!

We must start this process in Massachusetts on January 19 by electing Scott Brown the fill the Teddy Kennedy seat.  Then one by one, we must unseat the others.  Be determined, Conservatives.

Our time is NOW.  Our voices are loud and we are in unison with our message.  “Liberal, you’ve taken us for granted for the last time!  We want your jobs!  And we WILL get them!”

2009 can now officially become a memory, thank God!  Let’s move forward into 2010 with due diligence and respect for our Conservative viewpoints.  We must and will be heard in every 2010 election all across the United States.

Our voice starts with each of us in our local, state and national elections.  Since there are very few candidates represented by the Conservative Party – USA, we must stand up and speak up for the most conservative candidates we can find.  If that isn’t satisfactory, then we must search for a true conservative to run under our banner.  If big money, offers of fame and notoriety, promises of continued support, etc. work for labor groups, heavily funded corporations and other lobby interests, we must turn them around to fit our conservative voices.

Conservatives are the largest voting bloc in the United States.  Thomas Paine said so succinctly, “If we do not hang together, we shall surely hang separately.”  This was echoed by Benjamin Franklin, “Ay, we must all hang together, else we shall all hang separately.”

We find ourselves in much the same position.  As long as we are united in our common conservative values system, no one will hang!

Have a wonderful New Year’s Day.  Enjoy the football, basketball, hockey, front-yard football and black-eyed peas today.  Rest up.  We have a long fight before us.  It is a fight we must win.
