Free Republic's Rino Free America Project

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.

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..."

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.

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:

(ANYONE is defined as either an elected Republican or a Republican candidate)

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,

Name
Addresss / State

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!!!

Beautiful!

REF:HP’s post...It wouldn’t have been BORING (haha—not) had it not been temporarily removed from the sidebar. It was a miscommunication with the sidebar moderators..and NOW it’s all fixed. Jim’s the icing in the cake..and his 2000+ post PROVES that this topic is important to A LOT of freepers. It’s important!

[Freedom2specul8]

and there were a lot of NO MORE RINO signs at the tea parties..note one of the pics posted by 444flyer.

As Alice said “Curiouser and curiouser”.

[DJ MacWoW]

why do you think they will play by those rules to help you limit their power?

What power? The Dems control. Field Conservatives or lose again.

[Brytani]

I’ve been to at least a dozen tea parties since April 15, even helped to organize a few of them.

I’m seeing way more “no to RINO’s” signs and t-shirts, it’s obvious there has been a huge change in the electorate over the last year.

Even more telling are the people I speak to who flat out say they’ve stopped donating to the GOP and will only give money to conservative candidates. This sentiment isn’t only out of Republicans, independents and those who claim to be conservative Democrats all say the same.

My message to the GOP is simple; lead, follow or get the hell out of our way. Since the national GOP continues to disregard conservatives it’s up to conservatives to take he party back.

With conservatives being 43% of the voting public, can you imagine the change we could make within the GOP if 25% of conservatives took a position in their local/state GOP?

[Freedom2specul8]

I tend to believe that at some point it becomes a choice.

"I do NOT want to reach across the Isle just to find my self screwed by democrats again and again. "

AMEN!

[Freedom2specul8]

"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.

"So very, VERY co-signed!!! ;) "

heh heh... BUMP TO THAT!

[DJ MacWoW]

Maybe we can have a party based upon proper spelling and grammar.

Well tehy wouldn't let me in! ;-)

[Freedom2specul8]

"Most people don’t read it and that’s a pity."

Including the RNC and their candidates.

[DJ MacWoW]

HP’s goal is disruption. There is no other reason to post on an activism thread that one is not going to participate in.

[Freedom2specul8]

"We need to break down those walls. When we call our representatives and demand that we talk directly to them. No longer should we have to talk to a stooge staffer (let the staffers read every word of those lengthy bill they write). We need to talk to the representative directly for their own mental well being. We need to demand it and not take any excuses like, "Representative Adam Smith is at lunch," or "Senator Maria Cantwell is on the Senate floor." We need to take our county back by taking these representatives to the task of doing their job. "

After the tea parties started, they have started getting a bit scared.

"...Tea Party at McCaskill’s Draws Police, National Attention Written by admin on July 19, 2009 - ...On Friday, the St. Louis Tea Party Coalition and Americans for Prosperity held a protest in front of Senator Claire McCaskill’s St. Louis office. The cowardly liars who work for Senator McCaskill locked the doors and called the police..."

LOL That pic~

[Freedom2specul8]

"The RNC will continue to push RINOs because they are all politicians."

Maybe they will have consequences this time..like when Perot ran.

[Freedom2specul8]

"They have incrementally merged their politically ideology with the socialist Democrats forming one big socialist Republicrat party. Freepers and others need to accept this fact and work towards a second party based on strong Conservative principles instead of wasting time taking back the OP wing of the socialist Republicrat party. "

Thank you, I couldn't agree more.

[Freedom2specul8]

oops, i clicked post instead of preview.

finishing...In the sense that while this gives them an opportunity, maybe the FINAL opportunity to fix what they messed up. I will not vote for another rino. ever. They have to prove themselves by actions or they as well as the dems might as well put a “socialist party” next to their names.

[jonrick46]

They have become power addicts rather than representatives. We need to bring them back down to Earth with continuous phone calls and knocks on their doors. I can imagine being on the street corner during election time with this sign: "Try talking to Senator Murray . . . All you get is a staffer!"

[Freedom2specul8]

HUGGS back!!! :)
