PETITION CALLING ON PRESIDENT TRUMP TO PROTECT THE REPRESENTATIVE PRIMARY PROCESS IN MISSOURI
Whereas, in early July 2018, the Executive Committee of the Republican Party in Missouri cited the President’s primary endorsement to justify a 12-1 vote to allow the Republican National Committee to spend money on one specific candidate ahead of the contested primary; and
Whereas, in the 2016 Presidential primary race, this same tactic was utilized to nullify the People’s choice of the Democrat Party, Bernie Sanders; and
Whereas, our current President was elected by the same grassroots voters shut out of the 2016 election by the Establishment; and
Whereas, we the undersigned Republican primary voters of Missouri do hereby denounce the decision by the Missouri Republican Party to subvert the representative primary process—the will of the People—under the guise of the President’s primary endorsement; and
Therefore, we call on the President to protect the grassroots from attack by the Establishment to undermine the representative primary process in Missouri; and
Therefore, we call on the President to please reconsider his personal endorsement, persuading the Missouri GOP Executive Committee to undo their “Rule 11 vote.”

The meddling by the RNC and MOGOP in Missouri primary Senate race is wrong and no better than what the DNC was doing in the presidential election. Draining the swamp is not having this on either side. Let the people decide
The GOP should NOT be influencing a state's senatorial primary. This is a disgrace! As a Missouri resident who votes mostly Republican, I will vote against Josh Hawley if he is the GOP US Senate candidate. Shame on the Missouri GOP and the RNC.
Does the Rule 11 really meet Constitutional Democratically Elected Republic Principals? I think Not. The Primary is the voice of the People and should be uninhibited in its application. No money or power should ever effect the Democratic VOTE of a REPUBLIC.
I believe Executive committee is making a big mistake in allowing or asking for the National Republican party to spend money on a candidate that has not yet been voted on by we the citizens. You the establishment still don't get it and this may end up being the parties undoing.
Josh Hawley not only lied to the constituency in saying he wouldn't use the AG position as a stepping stone, he didn't even complete one term of office before he did exactly that! We don't need a liar as a Senator.
The Republican national party has no business in supporting a candidate before the candidate has been selected by the voters of Missouri have chosen there candidate. Doing so beforehand is their way to predetermine who will be selected. Taking the right of Missouri voter to choose away.
Let we the people vote !

Our primary elections are how we Missourians decide who to carry our voice! We don't care what DC elitists have to say. After an official nominee has been elected, s po end away. Until then, stay the hell out! Impartiality as demanded by the Missouri GOP bylaws!
