Grassroots conservative republicans need to get better people running for office and I maen all the way from local, state, to federal government...

The problem is not the GOP...

No, the GOP really is the problem. The party machinery controls the money and decides how to spend it and who to support. The base operates under the illusion that it controls the party. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Once people get elected and come to Washington they are immediately subjected to pressure by the party elites. They quickly discover that the best way to get along is to go along. The GOP is really more of a club than a political party. Unfortunately, its been pretty good at pandering to its big contributors and pressuring members to go along with the program. Note that the size of the government and spending never decrease under any GOP platform.
Notwithstand their claims of fighting for conservative interests just before every election cycle, the GOP loves and supports big government. They just play the voters election after election.
