The Link is: REPUBLICANS FOR A REASON
It appears you have to sign up and this will allow you to log in.
HOWEVER, I would suggest for those who have not read the 2008 GOP Platform, you might want to do so before you make any suggestions as this will help make you better informed.

I only glanced thru it quickly and while it may be there, I noticed NOTHING about the 2nd Amendment and this in particular bothers me:
Under "ENERGY:"
Addressing Climate Change Responsibly
The same human economic activity that has brought freedom and opportunity to billions has also increased the amount of carbon in the atmosphere.
While the scope and long-term consequences of this are the subject of ongoing scientific research, common sense dictates that the United States should take measured and reasonable steps today to reduce any impact on the environment.
Someone at the RNC has obviously been drinking the Green KoolAid, which in itself is problematic for me.
My first vote for President was in 1964 and (being young, dumb and -- fill in the blank lol) in the USAF, I voted for Johnson.
Since then I have never voted for a Democrat, albeit deciding in 72 to quit the Republican Party and have not returned since.
The reason was because as a Nam Vet, I was highly incensed when Ford refused to exercise his duties and responsibilities as outlined in the Paris Peace Accords and would not honor our commitment to assist South Vietnam when invaded by the North with conventional forces including heavy armor, regardless of the traitorous Rats in Congress having cut off funding.
Subsequently over the years, the RNC has given me NO reason to reconsider even during the Reagan years, who I supported with contributions but not to the RNC.
That said, if the RNC elects a "Conservative" Chairman and they change their attitude (i.e. get’s their sh*t together) and decides to become a true Republican Party, I might consider joining, volunteering, assisting and even, contributing.
Time will tell!!!
And then you'll be bombarded with emails and requests for contributions. The last time I donated to the RNC was back in '04, and I'm still getting mail from them. They don't really care what you think, they just want to build contributors. The Republican Party has known for a long time what their Conservative base wants. They don't care.
“Addressing Climate Change Responsibly”
Any party that mentions “climate change” will not get my support. I am a Conservative, not a Republican.
I hope we are all ready to have this site monitored as a “terrorist website”. They will use Bush’s wiretapping proceedures against those who disagree with them. Anti abortionists will disappear in the night. Gun rights people will replace terrirists at Gitmo....
Does anyone remember the youngish Republican who was influential in the 80s who died of cancer? He was dynamic.
WE need another Lee Atwater. Young tough and as dirty as the enemy.
