If you're in a position to make a MODEST contribution to National Republican Congressional Committee (NOT the RNC!) as a tangible thank-you for standing up for you, please do so. (Congressional Republicans are the most accountable, with elections every two years.)

I won't give a dime to the RNCC and I would recommend that no one give them anything.

The RNCC, in 2006, violated their own rules and interfered in a local congressional PRIMARY race in Arizona. They gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to the already well-financed establishment RINO candidate who was spending all of his times spreading lies and engaging in vicious attacks against the conservative, pro-life Republican candidate. They spent RNCC money to continue to spread those lies and slander against the conservative candidate and there was nothing that the grassroots Republicans could do about it.

The conservative candidate ended up winning the Primary election. Barely. But the weeks of slanderous attacks had taken their toll. As had the increased amount of campaign spending that was needed to win the Primary against this well-financed, establishment-backed candidate. The Democrat opponent simply had to repeat the attacks made by the RNCC-backed candidate and even bring up the fact that the RNCC opposed the conservative candidate and it was nearly a cake walk for the liberal Democrat candidate to win.

RNCC's gross interference and stupidity flipped a long-held Republican congressional district over to the Democrats.

RNCC!? No thanks. Give you money to a conservative candidate and keep it out of the hands of groups like the RNCC who back RINO candidates.

I stopped giving for the reasons you mention, but today I gave again.

It’s time to give them a second chance and show support for their standing up to Obama and the Democrats.

The RNCC head is a conservative congressman.

The RNC elected Michael Steele as the new leader today. THis is great new for the party. I agree about giving to your candidate of choice. I will do that and will also support Michael Steele. He will need our support. At last a leader.
