URGENT FROM THE CHAIRMAN
From: Michael Steele, RNC Chairman To: State GOP
Chairmen and Chairwomen Date: February 12, 2010 Subject: Recruiting Precinct Delegates/Precinct Committeemen
and Committeewomen As you know, I promised that
our new RNC website, GOP.com, would, by January, 2010, have tools enabling precinct committeemen across the country, in every
county, to be able to network with one another — to form caucuses, organize, recruit more precinct committeemen, etc.
The RNC wanted to create a template web site and offer it to every state and county GOP committee. That hasn’t happened.
Mea culpa. Rather than a top down approach, let’s try a bottom-up approach. So, I need your help. A quick review of many of the State GOP web sites shows that there is virtually no mention
of the fact that our Party is at half-strength in the precinct committeeman ranks. And virtually none of the sites contain
urgent pleas, prominently displayed, to visitors of the sites to come into the Republican Party as soon as possible as precinct
delegates (as you know, it’s called committeemen, captain, etc. in some states) so the Party can go from half-strength
to full-strength going into the 2010 election cycle. Also, there are virtually no explanations as to what a precinct committeeman
is and how vitally important they are to the functioning of our “Grand Old Party” — indeed, as you know,
because precinct committeemen vote for the leadership of the Party, and directly impact the outcome of the primary elections,
they ARE the Party. Some of the county web sites have this information, but dang few. Here’s one good example of what we need: http://www.maricopagop.org/precinct-committeeman/step-by-step-guide-to-becoming-a-precinct-committeeman-2/. (I’m informed this particular example was accomplished not by the Party officers but by brand new volunteer precinct
committeemen who volunteered their time and skills — didn’t cost the Party a cent! And the Party didn’t
even ask — the volunteers did it on their own and then presented the new web site on a silver platter to the county
leaders.) There are a few other good examples, some of which have been compiled here: www.theprecinctproject.wordpress.com (It’s even got a comparison of our Platform and the Democrat Party Platform — we don’t even have that at
our GOP.com web site!) So, here’s my urgent
request to you, my Republican brothers and sisters: Please, please, implore your County Chairpersons to prominently place
on their web sites, as soon as possible, the following: An explanation to all visitors about the vital power and importance
of the precinct committeeman position; how, by becoming one, they can actually “do something” because they will
help strengthen and reinvigorate the Party; and how easy it is to become one. Implore them do what they did in Maricopa County,
Arizona, if need be, if funds are tight — ask for volunteers from the precinct committeemen ranks. And now you’ve
got some good examples for how to do it. I realize that you don’t really have the power to do this, because you know,
as I do, that the real power within our Party lies with the precinct committeemen themselves. If precinct committeemen want
this to happen at the county level, they can make this happen, as they did in Maricopa County, Arizona. Let’s get ‘er done. Thank you. ------------------
North Carolina Schools May Cut Chunk Out of U.S. History Lessons Wednesday,
February 03, 2010 By Molly Henneberg - Fox News He may be the president
who governed during the Civil War, freeing the slaves, but under a new curriculum proposal for North Carolina high schools,
U.S. history would begin years after President Lincoln, with the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes in 1877. State education
leaders say this may help students learn about more recent history in greater depth. "We are certainly not trying
to go away from American history," Rebecca Garland, the chief academic officer for North Carolina Department of Public
Instruction, told Fox News. "What we are trying to do is figure out a way to teach it where students are connected to
it, where they see the big idea, where they are able to make connections and draw relationships between parts of our history
and the present day." As the North Carolina curriculum stands now, ninth-grade students take world history, 10th-graders
study civics and economics and 11th-graders take U.S. history going back to the country's founding. Under the proposed
change, the ninth-graders would take a course called global studies, focusing in part on issues such as the environment. The
10th grade still would study civics and economics, but 11th-graders would take U.S. history only from 1877 onward. Math,
science and English classes are also getting an update. Critics say the state's decade-old high school curriculum may
need an update — but not like this. "The answer isn't to throw out fundamental portions of U.S. history,"
said Mike Belter, a U.S. history teacher and social studies director. "This is not preparing our kids to have a deep
historical perspective that can be used to analyze modern events for themselves." Educational policy analyst Terry
Stoops agrees. "I'm all for a global outlook, but it should not be at the expense of American history and learning
about American institutions and ideas," he told Fox News. But those considering the proposal say kids will still
learn the basics. "The students are in school for 13 years," said Garland. "They certainly are taught
U.S. and North Carolina history in middle school." Garland says they're making this curriculum revision process
very public to get as much feedback as possible.

Klansman turned preacher keeping King’s dream
aliveBy Paul Bello, Staff writer Rev. Johnny Lee Clary learned to hate at a young age. A one-time member of the Ku Klux Klan,
he was brought up in a racist household in Miami, Okla., where the mistreatment of blacks was encouraged. After seeing
his father commit suicide, at age 11, Clary’s mother abandoned him. He would eventually wind up living alone in Los
Angeles, Ca. and join the Klan when he was 14. He returned to Oklahoma shortly
after and spent the next 16 years rising through the ranks of the Klan. Without a stable family life, Clary confessed it was
the only family he had at the time. That was then. Today, Clary is a born-again Christian who travels around the
world preaching the gospel and mentoring youth groups against a life of crime. As the keynote speaker during a celebration
honoring the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Thursday, Clary told an audience at Fort Belvoir Officers’ Club he has
just one thing on his mind these days. Go to the article here. **********************************************************************
Senator (and Dr.) Tom Coburn spoke for a lot of us in explaining his vote against the Democrats' bill on Christmas Eve: This vote is indeed historic. This Congress will be remembered for
its arrogance, corruption and stupidity. In the year of 2009, a Congress ignored the coming economic storm and impending bankruptcy
of our entitlement programs and embarked on an ideological crusade to bring our nation as close to single-payer, government-run
health care as possible. If this bill becomes law, future generations will rue this day and I will do everything in my power
to work toward its repeal. This bill will ration care, cut Medicare, increase premiums, fund abortion and bury our children
in debt. This process was not compromise.
This process was corruption. This bill passed because votes were bought and sold using the issue of abortion as a bargaining
chip. The abortion provision alone makes this bill the most arrogant piece of legislation I have seen in Congress. Only the
most condescending politician can believe it is appropriate to force Americans to pay for other people's abortions and to
coerce medical professional to take the lives of unborn children.

Resolution on Healthcare Reform Passed by the Texas Federation
of Republican Women On July 31, 2009 Whereas, the healthcare bill put forth by President Obama and
the Democrat members of Congress will create a complicated bureaucracy of government offices and programs that come between
patients and healthcare providers; and, Whereas, the bill creates cumbersome and expensive
mandates that interfere with the patient-doctor relationship; and, Whereas, the Congressional
Budget Office has determined that the bill will cost the taxpayers trillions of dollars resulting in substantial tax increases;
and, Whereas, the bill ultimately would result in government run healthcare and government
control of insurance options; and Whereas, the bill would lead to a government-controlled
healthcare system similar to the ones found in England and Canada, where patients must wait months for care that currently
is routine in the United States; and Whereas, most citizens agree that the U.S. healthcare
system is the best in the world, and that U.S. healthcare costs need reform and overall provision needs improvement,
the Republican congressional leadership has unveiled plans to provide greater choices of doctors, hospitals and health plans,
greater tax fairness and simplification, the ability to buy insurance across state lines, greater health care price disclosure,
more competition between facilities, and utilizing free market system and preserving freedom of choice; Therefore, be it resolved that the Texas Federation of Republican Women asks our congressional representatives
to oppose any legislation that imposes any government control over our health care, increased government mandates or price
controls, new government programs or the expansion of existing programs; and Further,
be it resolved that the Texas Federation of Republican Women urges passage of healthcare reform which results in more
affordable healthcare through a competitive, open, and transparent health care system including TORT reform where America's
families choose their own doctor and health care plans.

Here Video of Rep. Pete Sessions' Town Hall on August 5: Here ************************************************
Ronald Reagan gave this speech about socialized medicince in 1961: As
if we’re not already overextended enough financially, the issue of National Health Care is now on the table once more
vote. Here’s some perspective you might find interesting. Now back in 1927 an American
socialist, Norman Thomas, six times candidate for president on the Socialist Party ticket, said the American people would
never vote for socialism. But he said under the name of liberalism the American people will adopt every fragment of the socialist
program. One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been
by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. Most people are a little
reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can’t afford it. Now, the American people, if you put it to them about socialized medicine and gave them a chance to choose, would
unhesitatingly vote against it. We had an example of this. Under the Truman administration it was proposed that we have a
compulsory health insurance program for all people in the United States, and, of course, the American people unhesitatingly
rejected this. Let’s take a look at social security itself. Again, very few of us disagree
with the original premise that there should be some form of savings that would keep destitution from following unemployment
by reason of death, disability or old age. And to this end, social security was adopted, but it was never intended to supplant
private savings, private insurance, pension programs of unions and industries. Now in our country
under our free enterprise system we have seen medicine reach the greatest heights that it has in any country in the world.
Today, the relationship between patient and doctor in this country is something to be envied any place. The privacy, the care
that is given to a person, the right to chose a doctor, the right to go from one doctor to the other. But let’s also look from the other side, at the freedom the doctor loses. A doctor would be reluctant to say
this. Well, like you, I am only a patient, so I can say it in his behalf. The doctor begins to lose freedoms; it’s like
telling a lie, and one leads to another. First you decide that the doctor can have so many patients. They are equally divided
among the various doctors by the government. But then the doctors aren’t equally divided geographically, so a doctor
decides he wants to practice in one town and the government has to say to him you can’t live in that town, they already
have enough doctors. You have to go someplace else. And from here it is only a short step to dictating where he will go.
This is a freedom that I wonder whether any of us have the right to take from any human being. All of us
can see what happens once you establish the precedent that the government can determine a man’s working place and his
working methods, determine his employment. From here it is a short step to all the rest of socialism, to determining his pay
and pretty soon your children won’t decide when they’re in school where they will go or what they will do for
a living. They will wait for the government to tell them where they will go to work and what they will do What can we do about this? Well, you and I can do a great deal. We can write to our congressmen and our senators.
We can say right now that we want no further encroachment on these individual liberties and freedoms. And at the moment, the
key issue is, we do not want socialized medicine. Former Representative Halleck of Indiana has
said, “When the American people want something from Congress, regardless of its political complexion, if they make their
wants known, Congress does what the people want.” So write, and if your representative
writes back to you and tells you that he or she too is for free enterprise, that we have these great services and so forth,
that must be performed by government, don’t let them get away with it. Show that you have not been convinced. Write
a letter right back and tell them that you believe in government economy and fiscal responsibility; that you know governments
don’t tax to get the money the need; governments will always find a need for the money they get and that you demand
the continuation of our free enterprise system. You and I can do this. The only way we can do it is by writing to our congressmen
even we believe that he is on our side to begin with. Write to strengthen his hand. Give him the ability to stand before his
colleagues in Congress and say “I have heard from my constituents and this is what they want.” Write those letters now; call your friends and them to write them. If you don’t, this program I promise you
will pass just as surely as the sun will come up tomorrow and behind it will come other federal programs that will invade
every area of freedom as we have known it in this country. Until, one day, as Normal Thomas said we will awake to find that
we have socialism. And if you don’t do this and if I don’t do it, one of these days we are going to spend our
sunset years telling our children and our children’s children, what it once was like in America when men were free. --------------------------------

How Does Your Congressman Stack Up on the Issues? ------------------------------- A Hero's Salute - Staff Sargeant John C. Beale comes home. Please watch this moving video of a community's response to the death of a U.S. Army sergeant in Iraq. The video was
taped on June 11, 2009 and runs 12 minutes. Staff Sargeant John C. Beale was killed in action in Iraq and his body was
returned to Falcon Field in Peachtree City, Georgia, just south of Atlanta. He was escorted by the Henry County Police
Department to the funeral home in McDonough, Georgia. The community came out to honor him after notices appeared in local
papers. It was filmed by a Georgia State Trooper. ------------------------------- Missile
Defense Update 9/18/09 from the Heritage Foundation: The
decision to abandon the “third site” deployment of 10 missile interceptors in Poland and a radar in the Czech
Republic violates President Obama’s pledge to support missile defense that is “pragmatic and cost-effective.” Ground based missile defense is effective, affordable, and available now. According to the Congressional Budget Office, alternatives to the third site do not provide a comparable level of defense. The CBO concluded that the estimated $9-14
billion 20-year cost of the third site was half of the estimated costs of a sea-based alternative. Abandoning our best missile
defense option in Europe only encourages Iran to speed up their ballistic missile program so that they can get their threat in place before a European missile defense system is available. The Poles and the Czechs know what it means to live under the boot of Russian domination.
The third-site issue is of huge symbolic importance to both nations, and if Moscow emerges the victor, with an effective veto
over U.S. policy in Europe, it would represent a massive surrender of American strategic influence and a betrayal of two of its closest friends in the region. Go
to 33minutes.com for more on missile defense, the threat posed to us and our allies by nuclear weapons, and the action plan necessary to revive
a strategic missile defense system that only America can develop, maintain, and employ for its own defense and the peace-loving
world’s security.
