I also agree with District Leader Val O’Donnal that “our common interests should far outweigh our differences”, however, the only way to judge something is by results; ‘often harsh, but always fair’. The current facts (the results) are that the RNC and National GOP has declared WAR on the Tea Party, including ALL Republicans currently elected by their constituents to office that are considered to be ‘Tea Party’ types. Those numbers are substantial - in the 2010 election cycle the:
GOP picked up 63 seats in the U. S. House of Representatives
GOP gained 6 seats in the U. S. Senate
Also gained 680 seats in state legislative races and they
Control 29 State Governorships
For those who do not understand - even though this looks great to many of us - the establishment RNC - under the command strategy of Karl Rove - is determined to remove or replace these Constitutional advocates with more of the Mitch McConnell - John McCain type of elected who will do the bidding of those ‘in charge’ or the party.
Why? Because these new leaders are providing ‘push-back’ to the establishments goals of unlimited debt ceiling increases, immigration reform including some form of amnesty and other un-Constitutional views. After the push-back in the debt ceiling increase (which our Cathy McMorris Rogers supported), John Boehner, like the dictator he is, removed these freshmen from their Committee seats!
For those that need more clarification - that means an elected representative that places the ‘Rule of Law’; our ‘Declaration of Independence’, the ‘Constitution of the United States’, and our ‘Bill of Rights’ above any other form of political persuasion, ideology or willful attempt to get one to ‘compromise’ the principles contained therein, is now considered ‘the enemy’.
These two very important and recent news articles should help you understand what is going on in the party right now:

We must unite and work together, using our differences that make us unique. Our goals should be to educate, empower and engage everyone in the strategies that will win elections.

I think most Republicans are independant people, this American trait should be celebrated rather than used as a means of division.

we should find a cure for the factions. Here is one way we can start by not challineging fellow republicans in primaries becuse i believe that just divides the party even more, One we can iunite and have good debate on the issues of the day without having the mud slinging among members of our own party

I pray that ALL Republicans will support what you have proposed. It is essential that we stop fighting with each other, and fight for our nation, states, counties, and cities! Count me in.

This marks a pivotal moment in time in our local party. I am all for this. We must put aside our differences and build on our common values to make the Republican Party what it was meant to be, GREAT!
