To Arizona GOP Leaders........ Not alot of new information to share with you so far this week in the RNC Chairmen's election except this piece from candidate Saul Anuzis of Michigan who would rather communicate with members on how we must improve the Republican Party rather than tear down other candidates running for the same post.
I have spared our grass roots activists the gory details but the contest for RNC Chair has recently turned into a mud slinging match coming from a couple of the candidates. I think the message Mr Anuzis brings here is we have too many issues to deal with and opportunities to achieve to waste time throwing rocks at our own house.
As always I encourage your comments. We are getting very close to the RNC election. I have not agreed to support any candidate in public at this time. Your comments are appreciated and I continue my promise a reply to your questions / concerns.

Team - On November 4, the Republican Party lost. However, our conservative ideals, principles and solutions did not lose.We were once the party that America trusted on issues concerning national security, fiscal responsibility, and "shared values." After a series of missteps by our party, including poor planning in Iraq, the most bloated federal budget in history, and candidate-affiliated scandals, Americans lost faith in our party. Worse yet, the Democrats seized these opportunities and became the party that represents America's greatest hopes.
If I have the opportunity to be your Chairman, I promise that together we will change that and we will win again – one idea at a time.My action plan "One Idea At A Time" from my Blueprint for a GOP Comeback includes strategies that will help guide us back to the core principles that have fueled our party to victory in the past:
• A Party of Solutions: We need to present opposition in the form of BETTER solutions. It's not enough to criticize, we need to present alternatives.
• State Input: We will seek input on policy ideas from leaders and grassroots activists in the states and territories. I understand our most vibrant ideas are more apt to come from county seats, state capitols, dorm rooms, or coffee shops than from Washington, D.C. And just as we did in the 1990's, I will look to our outstanding GOP Governors to lead the way.
• Ideas from Young People: We will seek input and listen to ideas from groups like the College Republicans, Rebuild the Party and other groups of young people to help ensure we are not forfeiting a generation of voters. Along with better understanding what the principles of the Republican Party mean to them, we need to communicate with them more effectively. We have work to do and we need their help.
• Expanding the Issue Playing Field: We will leave no stone unturned when it comes to forging effective ideas to better articulate our positions on all issues. Taxes and spending, crime and national security and a myriad of social issues have formed what has been referred to as the three-legged stool of the GOP issues coalition. We must regain our footing on these issues, but also better communicate conservative ideas on conservation, health care and education.
• Idea Factory: We will create an online "idea factory" for individuals to share ideas with the RNC and will cull the best ideas and share them with state GOP leadership and Congressional leadership.
For a complete list of specific tactics, please read my Blueprint for a GOP Comeback.We will win back Americans when we stand up and fight for the common sense principles that unite us. And we are going to demand better from our leaders.
I am ready to get started on "rebooting" our Republican Party.I hope you'll join me.
Sincerely,
Saul Anuzis
Chairman
