To the Leaders of the Republican National Committee and the Members of the State Legislature in the state of_________________:
We, the undersigned registered members of the Republican Party in the state of ____________________, hereby protest and reject the current and ongoing results of the 2008 Republican presidential primary selection process on the grounds that the incongruous methods, rules, and provisions set forth by the individual and various state Republican National Committee Leaders, and the members of the various State Legislatures, have failed to provide the members of the Republican Party across the nation with an effective primary election process, thwarted our objective to identify the candidate who is unifying choice of the majority of the members of the party, deprived the Republican Party of faithful representation in the up-coming general election, and has disenfranchised millions of voters in our state and across the nation.
As registered members of the Republican Party, we demand to be provided with an overall effective presidential primary election process regardless of where we live.
We call for a National Republican Primary Election be held in every state, across our nation on the same day before the general election in November.
We ask that the names of every willing candidate originally participating in the 2008 race be included on the ballot.
Am I wrong that most people have given up hopes of McCain not being the nominee? If national security is the most important thing short-term in America, and conservative people recognize that, then why do many conservatives think McCain is a top-notch one on national security when he wants to close Guantanamo? Sounds fishy that the Democrats would love a warmonger--they do because he compromises. Furthermore, why would he think criticism of his Democratic opponents' positions is offensive? He's lambasted Bill Cunningham in Ohio and now Steve King of Iowa, not because they lied or cussed (which he does all the time), but because they might hurt McCain's friendship with Senator Clinton and Senator Obama!
I could never vote for McCain because of his cocky, disrespectful, and bull-headed attitude. If people condemned Gov. Spitzer for his adultery, why do they not do that to McCain? He was a known adulterer long before that NY Times story (http://www.nolanchart.com/article2957.html).
So I urge everyone who wants a chance to send a message to the GOP establishment to take action through www.fairprimary.org and www.opengopconvention.com. There is power in numbers, but people need to have the spirit and hope to continue to take action!
ALL RIGHT NOW!! LETS DO IT !!
“AYR YAH REEDY FOR AH WAR !!??”
Contact list needs to start for this action is short on time but plenty of folks wanting to happen soonest!!
Its time to fight !!
Wondering where the financing of this would come from. Wondering how to get the word out to the millions of “disenfranchised”. Wondering why we would concentrate our next eight months on a Presidential candidate rather than supporting true Conservatives for Congress instead. Wondering much about this idea.
I don’t like being stuck with McPain, but I’d rather concentrate upon gaining a Conservative friendly, an American friendly congress instead. We need concentrate all our funding for that purpose.
Welcome to FR, and goodluckwiththat....
Of course the RINOs who now control the party would spit on you and your idea.
You joined to post that?
Normally a newbie is harassed for posting so quickly. I do like this website, and I’m glad you posted it. This is a good post.
BTTT!
1) Not every state uses the primary system, a lot use the caucus system.
2) What of it? We’re now Democrats - don’t like the results, so let’s do it again and again until we ‘get it right?’
3) Even if we re-ran the election on a national basis, what would change? McCain would still win, while conservatives trip over themselves in a rush to vote for people more liberal than McCain.
When did we start being the party of whiners too? Or are we just going to copy every stupid idea that liberals come up with?
The other website mentioned has some cool stuff, too.

I’m up for a delegate revolt.
LOL. I think my first posts had something to do with OJ Simpson. I'd lurked for a couple years but OJ motivated me to sign up. I'd say our new freeper had a better reason than I did!
......without even a kiss.
If the GOP had wanted a “real” conservative they would have voted for one. You sound like the dems crying about MI and FL.
I, for one, am wondering much about the effectiveness of a McCain campaign/fundraising effort. His recent actions poking his finger in the eyes of Cunningham and King really reaffirms for me that this misbegotten candidate of the RNC hasn't gotten any message, still hates Conservatives, and will screw us early and often.
The one thing that does give me hope is a very solid gut feeling that his (and the RNC's) donation plate is gonna contain nothing but a giant sucking sound. It will be glaringly evident, in a few weeks, that this turkey can't fly, that his ability to generate financial support is somewhere close to, or less than Duncan Hunter's ability to attract voters.
I do have a feeling that the RNC will re-evaluate this choice of theirs, and maybe convince him to step aside for the good of the party/country and all other republicans that are facing re-election. If they continue with McCain, voters will stay home in droves.
Great, but I think this has already been filed away in the "ain't gonna happen" folder.
Not the solution this be. Closing the primary process to Republicans registered 90 days would be more effective. Better scheduling, but not all at once, would also help.
Way to make a splash knubi. I’d sign yer little form there but I am not a “registered member of the the Republican Party,” I have no representative government, I am a conservative.
