Dear Sir: Throughout the past week, the NRCC urged Republicans -- and indeed, all Americans who care about a prosperous future for our nation -- to oppose the Waxman-Markey energy tax bill. Certainly, I shared the NRCC's opposition to this ill-considered legislation I have called the "Monstrosity From Hell That Will Destroy the American Economy."
It was therefore shocking to discover that eight Republican members of the House voted "yes" on this monstrosity.
On a close vote of such tremendous importance, one of the last-resort means of enforcing party discipline is for leaders to inform wavering caucus members that those who defy the leadership by voting with the other party will thereby forfeit financial support for their future re-election campaigns. If the NRCC failed to deliver such a message to the eight Republicans who voted for Waxman-Markey, then this is a failure for which the NRCC must be held accountable.
Therefore, a grassroots boycott of NRCC fundraising has been announced today by Not One Red Cent, the online movement formed last month to protest the National Republican Senatorial Committee's unprecedented meddling in the 2010 Florida GOP primary.
It has become increasingly obvious of late that some Republicans have been in Washington too long. None of the eight GOP House members who voted for Waxman-Markey will be re-elected. They will either retire from the House, be defeated in next year's Republican primaries, or suffer well-deserved defeat on November 2, 2001. Therefore, every penny that the NRCC spends to support the re-election of the Waxman-Markey Eight is wasted money that could be used more effectively to support Republican challengers.
The NRCC must announce a policy of non-support for the Waxman-Markey Eight, or else NRCC fund-raising letters will go directly into the garbage cans of every previous grassroots GOP donor who is tired of seeing his contributions wasted to support nominal "Republicans" that repeatedly betray party principles.
Leadership appeals to partisan loyalty will fall on deaf ears, so long as leadership acts as if loyalty is a one-way street. If the leadership is not loyal to the party's grassroots, why should individual Republican members of Congress be loyal to the leadership? And why should the party grassroots heed the voice of "leaders" who only lead the party to disaster?
No personal reply to this letter is necessary. The NRCC's public repudiation of the Waxman-Markey Eight is the only response desired. Unless and until such a response is made, the grassroots answer your committee's appeal for donations is:
NOT ONE RED CENT!
Sincerely,
Robert Stacy McCain Founder, Not One Red Cent http://boycottnrsc.blogspot.com/
Honestly, I would like to do things to the backstabbing eight that would make Jack Bauer cringe.
OTOH I donate plenty to individual campaigns which promise conservative positions.
So.... is this one of those John Titor type things?
Good Luck with that, sunshine.
You are just a peon - get in line and vote yes. Do you really think that they will take any notice of you. Now if 500,000 people said it - that might make a difference. In the meantime, just get in line.

Perhaps attributable to high emotion.
I corrected a couple before posting, but obviously, I didn't catch them all.
Did you mean November 2, 2010?
It would be nice to go back in time and go on a RINO hunt, wouldn’t it?
The letter is not mine. I’m just the lowly poster.
Yup, donate to individual campaigns.
We made that decision a LONG time ago. They take the money and do what they want. We learned not to fall for any of their rheteroic. They can work for their money as far as we are concerned...they haven’t had money from us in a very long time and we are now Independents anyway. The GOP is DEAD!!!!
500,000 NEED to say it !!!!
My email to Bono (Palm Springs is very near L.A. and depends on it for pretty much everything):
How could you?? HOW COULD YOU??? Your late husband is rolling over and over in his grave.
To help pass the anti-American, anti-commerce, anti-jobs, pro-communist legislation cap and trade legislation is unconscionable.
How did you possible get to sleep last night knowing you stabbed every American — every REAL one — in the heart and the back at the same time?
You can bet I’ll be making the short drive from L.A. to P.S. to actively work against your next re-election. And I’ll be bringing a few thousand of my closest friends. It is now my life’s sole purpose to make sure your legislative days are done forever.
A curse on you and your house.
Respond — if you have the guts.
She should be cut some slack for her typos. So what? I give her credit for at least trying by writing the letter and am sure she was emotional when doing so. I just feel sorry for her because it will do NO GOOD AT ALL. We tired of that same old “call, write, email” effort that falls on deaf ears. They jsut don’t give a damn and so now we just don’t give a damn. But...I will give this young woman credit for trying.
>>Did you mean November 2, 2010?<<
You don’t know about the time machine? Check VRWC Rove communique #D4VV76-r/7. Decoder code 12.
But I was so impressed with the nomination of Palin, I actually donated to the McCain Palin campaign.
Never again. I'm done with these....persons. If Christ shows up at the foot of my bed one morning and demands I give to a Republican candidate I'll tell him to "Drop dead........................again."
(It's OK. I know he'll be back.)
