Recently Jim Robinson posted two threads declaring Free Republic’s determination to see Conservatives elected and ousting Rino's from government. Jim and a great many Freepers believe that we need to take back control. But the RNC is not hearing us. Activism is called for NOW. 2010 is nearing and we need Conservative candidates to run. The time is ripe and people are ready for another 1994 type election. But we need to make the RNC hear us loud and clear.This is the Rino Free America Project. Get involved. Make them listen. Write a letter and MAIL it.

To Whom it May Concern,
I am a (member/visitor/friend) of FreeRepublic.com, a non-commercial Conservative website which is "...a political discussion forum and independent grassroots conservative activist group supported by donations from our readers and participants...." (freerepublic.com). I watched the Presidential election with interest. I have watched local, state and federal elections with interest. I have been extremely disappointed with the candidates you have selected to represent Republicans. I have grown weary of candidates who have chosen to ignore conservative ideals, principles and values. Conservatives want strong candidates who are not afraid to stand against liberal agendas, democrats, and the liberal media. Unless I see a commitment by your Republican representatives to protect and defend conservative principles, and actual evidence (legislation and behaviour) that there is change, I will not send in donations nor will I vote for your candidates. I have no desire to support a political party who does not reflect the core values of Conservatives.
I would like to quote the founder of FreeRepublic.com, all of which can be found here http://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm:
"...In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule.After reading what your website says (http://www.gop.com/index.php/learn/what_we_believe/), it is very clear that you don't pick candidates who support or defend your belief system let alone the Conservative belief system. As a result, I believe the Republican Party has left the conservatives. There has been growing evidence that many elected officials are not true Conservatives. Instead, we tend to call them RINO's. RINO's are defined as "Republicans In Name Only". I believe the majority if not all Republican candidates and elected officials are RINO's because of their actions and votes in congress.Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops ... and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty..."
I believe that you are aware of what a RINO is because after completing a quick search on your gop.com website, I noticed quite a few references to RINO's in the search results. I view RINOs as Republicans who claim to be Conservatives, but use their postition to promote, defend and protect liberal ideas, goals, agendas and legislation. While observing past campaigns, I noticed that your candidates use action phrases, slogans and key words that appeal to conservatives, but after they are elected they fail to promote, defend and protect the Conservative platform. You have compromised without a fight for far too long. This is completely unacceptable.
In conclusion, I declare the following:
Whereas ANYONE, who pushes for amnesty for illegal aliens is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE, who pushes for cap-and-trade is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE, who pushes for Romneycare, Obamacare, Medicare Part D, or any of the other un-Constitutional Federal health care schemes is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE, who pushes for Federal control over education is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE, who pushes for Federal take-over is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE, who is unwilling to repeal Roe v. Wade is a RINO
Whereas Anyone who pushes abortion is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE who fails to investigate and prosecute those who are involved in corruption is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE, who pushes for Big Government bailouts, takeovers, and “stimulus” give-aways is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE who pushes gay marriage is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE who refuses to defend our nation is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE who refuses to secure our nation is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE who refuses to secure our borders is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE who fails to secure our God-given unalienable rights is a RINO
Whereas ANYONE who fails to abide by the constitution is a RINO
And will not be supported by Conservatives.
Sincerely,

We have been frustrated and angry at the way we have been treated by the political elite in this country. They have ignored us, belittled us, overlooked us, and singled Conservatives out for their special brand of contempt. It is bad enough when liberals and Democrats do it, but the betrayal of our Constitution, Conservative values and morals at the hands of the party we built and supported for many years has been the ultmate blow to Conservatives.
ARE YOU SICK TO DEATH OF HEARING THAT THE PARTY YOU ONCE TRUSTED TO UPHOLD CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES IS A BIG TENT THAT ADMITS ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN NOTHING IF THEY DECIDE TO WEAR AN 'R' AFTER THEIR NAME??? TELL THEM ABOUT IT!
Write a letter, (it will only take a few minutes of your time) and SEND IT! Not an email. Not a fax. Not a phone call. We want to flood their headquarters with letters they can't ignore. Have your friends and family send as many letters as they can. The value of ONE handwritten letter with words inscribed from the heart, is worth more than ten voices screaming at the top of their lungs. Let them know you are serious.
No more contributions to the RNC (not one cent) If they insist on supporting RINOs who don't adhere to core Conservative principles and values. Tell them in your own words that you will support individual candidates of YOUR choosing on their own merits, and not the party hacks they want to jam down our throats like Dede Scozzafava and Arlen Specter. Tell them why they have reason to fear us. They won't if one or two letters trickle in. We need thousands. DO IT TODAY OR TOMORROW, BUT DO IT!!!
Stop being an independent thinker and using facts. The poor soul probably still believes in climate change and the piltdown man! Spoon fed science parrots do not make observations and draw conclusions, they sit in a science high chair and wait for information. The article was fantastic tho. I am handwriting a letter to the same effect.
“They told me I wasn’t the only one who said this or that.”
THAT PERSON LIED I’d say. Been there, Done that with them myself multiple times, so I know.
Thanks for the ping LucyT, and Thanks to: “This was a group effort by DJ MacWoW, MestaMachine, Kim4vrwcs, bcsco, and hiredhand with Jim Robinsons approval”
I believe we must all participate as suggested for true effect. I know many have tried individually, as we have to get the point across to the RNC over time, and feel as frustrated as we do here at the ranch, but with this unified effort I believe we can make some headway.
We will be addressing the efforts we perceive as real and troubling in our next letter that the RNC is more interested in their funding by such Leftist RINO’s as Mitt Romney, than they are in promoting a true opposition to the Leftist onslaught of the Democrat Party.
We think, and rightfully so that the RNC has capitulated to a Leftist element that has wormed it’s way into the interior of, and the leadership of the Party, causing the dilemma of the ever increasing influence of the RINO’s.
Thanks again for promoting this effort.
Damn!

Glad you’re doing this.
I will do it today, without fail.
You are a class act!
“We will not support Republicans who do not demand full investigations into voter fraud, specifically with ACORN and SEIU.”
BINGO!
“Sorry for the long post.”
Never apologize for greatness!
“The Republican Party can either return to the Reagan/Goldwater/Helms standard, or they can damn well go the way of the Bull Moose Party.”
Now it is just the Bull Party.
Kim, you need to re post this a few times over the next few weeks, so every FReeper has a chace to see it.
We are going to try and run it like they run the canteen threads.
Great idea.
Every time I get an RNC or affiliated letter asking for money....
I send it back with comments regarding CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES....
NO MONEY UNTIL YOU PROVE YOURSELF.
LOL.
[That was suppose to be sarcasm, right? Remember to us the (/s), otherwise, you could be taken seriously.]
A very good idea.
Same here. Why not? Until they get the idea, let them take out their own garbage.
Good job. Thanks for your service to the cause.
Remind them of it and put them on notice that we haven't forgotten. If you disagree then don't write a letter. But this IS an forum for activism. That means doing something rather than just complaining.
Do you really believe that people writing in and saying they will deny the party money and votes will have no effect? They rely on money.
Ping!
Well, it’s not Reagan’s Big Tent, but lets see how that works for you.
