The Republican Party

The GOP has announced its intentions to rebrand the Republican Party and is seeking input from the public, so here is mine.

The GOP and the Democratic Party have failed in their responsibilities to the citizens. We need less government, less spending and citizen-oriented leaders, not business people plotting their next move for personal gain. I love my country although I have genuine concerns about our government and their intentions.

Our economy is in shambles; special interest groups and our government spew our money in all directions and hold us accountable at every opportunity while big banks, big businesses and government are never held accountable. The rebranding of the Republican Party is just another lie, nothing changes. Everybody blames everyone else as we continue on a course of self-destruction.

I pledge to vote out all incumbents. Change will not happen unless the people institute it. We do not need anyone who is presently in office; they are all replaceable.

We must take charge and nominate our trusted neighbors to fill our positions of leadership. Make your pledge (firecongress.org,) vote them all out.
