Republican National Policy & Strategy Committee

As a Party we must bring forth a concrete foundation to run on. A foundation that addresses all that has voters up in arms. We must also not fear that commitment sounding “too strong”. No matter how Republicans address our nation’s problems, liberals will call the G.O.P. “extreme”. But we must remember that our purpose is not to sound like Democrats or to please liberals. Our purpose is to solve problems and be true to the most sacred American document in existence………………the American Constitution.

Americans of every stripe and party affiliation have become acutely aware of the unconstitutional legislative conduct that our process has been advancing. Many Americans are aware of the federal governments overreaching and excesses. They see how states rights are trampled. They are also aware of how our government seems to reward mediocrity and punish success. So now is the time for the Republican Party to come before the nation with a pledge. It is a pledge to recommit ourselves to the Constitution. This pledge must outline several areas of focus in which all candidates will commit to and collectively fight for, as a Party and as individual legislators.

We, the people, commit ourselves to the non-negotiable demands of human dignity --- Equal Justice --- Freedom of Speech --- Limited Government Power --- Private Property Rights --- Religious Tolerance and --- Respect for women, life and the Rule of Law and hereby pledge to persue these goals with but not limited to the following:

• All proposed bills, amendments and spending measures must contain the section of the Constitution that provides the constitutional basis for its consideration and passage.
• The 2.8% Congressional pay raise that the Democrat led Congress passed in 2009 will be repealed and Congress will then subsequently reduce their salaries by an additional 15%.
• Link the salaries of federal legislators to the economy they manipulate.
• Institute a four year federal hiring freeze on all non-essential emergency managemnet security, defense and medical related operations .
• Reduce the federal payroll by eliminating non-essential, emergency management, security, defense and medical positions through attrition.
• Obliterate the existing arcane, oppressive loophole ridden, unfair tax code and adopt a one-rate, Flat Tax Reform Act that does not ask any one American to pay a greater percentage than any other American. One rate for one America.
• Dismantle the Departments of Commerce, Energy, Education and Housing and Urban Development.
• Make healthcare and health insurance more accessible and more affordable by reducing the healthcare bureaucracy and improving the existing free market based healthcare system, expanding portability and adopting tort reforms.
• Make no apologies for our defense of freedom and prosecute enemy combatants in military tribunals, not civilian courts.
• Secure our borders and repair our broken immigration and immigration enforcement laws.

Taking control of either branch of Congress is not likely but it is possible. Whether that is achieved or not will depend on how strongly we unite as a Party and convince voters that we are devoted to our Pledge of Commitment. If we can convince voters of our sincere desires to take a more equitable, honest, transparent, and constitutional approach to governance, than even if we don’t take majority control of Congress, we will have made significant gains and put a stop to the partisan dictatorship that is currently reigning supreme in Washington, D.C. .

In addition to a strong, united campaign based on our Pledge of Commitment, strategic and logistical influences will be essential.  That is where the strategic operation comes in

As we move ahead our Party must:

• Unite and get better organized, especially in the area of networking
• Hammer home our anti-establishment, anti government sentiment and undying commitment to freedom and prosperity.
• Add an emotional component to every issue.
• Create new funding channels, including large numbers of small financial donations.
• Use technology to organize activists, increase transparency, register voters, and change minds
• Invite ideas from the public and develop a way to identify, develop and publicize the best ones.
• Turn talk radio listeners into donors and activists and provide them with constructive and productive ways to help local candidates and national causes.
• Tap into anti-government constituencies ( i.e.: Libertarians and Tea Partiers)
• Poke fun at the Administrations promised “change” and their calls for transparency in government. Mock the “hope” the President was to bring.
• Day and night, night and day, reinforce Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid as the faces and leaders of the Liberal Party.
• Exploit all Democrat weaknesses.
• Develop clear messages and have policy makers become message makers.
• Create media markets and operating systems to inspire, generate and direct activism.
• Work closely with all grassroots organizations.
• Relentlessly exploit the weaknesses of key Democrat leaders.
• Put new blood forward and present new ideas. Let voters know that old guard Republicans are on their way out.
