Unfortunately, they only gave me 2000 characters to tell them so I guess I&#8217;ll have to do it in chapters. I find it difficult to believe that they didn&#8217;t know the answer before they asked the question.<\/p>\n<p>When I wrote the other day about Michael Steele&#8217;s intention to become the Chairman of the Committee, I was asked the question what we can do. Well, here&#8217;s your opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll have to register and get a password by email, but I suppose this is the only way for the time being. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.RepublicanForAReason.com\" target=\"_blank\">website is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The name of the project is &#8220;Republican for a reason&#8221; and that&#8217;s how I began my first message to them. I said I didn&#8217;t join the Republican Party because it&#8217;s a cool club, that I joined for ideological reasons. I also told them that I didn&#8217;t want to support a party that acts like the Democrat fat cat power wielders. Although Republicans have been fairly good on National Defense, on domestic issues, they&#8217;ve just sucked. Buying votes with taxpayer money just doesn&#8217;t get it. They need another Newt Gingrich &#8220;Contract with America&#8221; and tell the voters what they&#8217;ll do if we elect them (I can&#8217;t believe they haven&#8217;t done that in 14 years since it actually worked) and then stick to it.<\/p>\n<p>We need new blood in the party and I think that will come with Michael Steele.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got an email yesterday from the Republican National Committee begging for input on what they&#8217;re &hellip; <a title=\"GOP wants your input\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=5388\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">GOP wants your input<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5388"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5388\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
