The vice chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC)
is promoting a proposed resolution that would warn 2010 GOP candidates that if
they do not respect the party's "conservative values," they will not receive the
financial backing or endorsement of the RNC. (Principles before GOP politics )
The "Proposed RNC Resolution on Reagan's Unity Principle for Support of
Candidates" was drafted by Jim Bopp, vice chairman of the RNC. It requires that
GOP candidates prove not only with their campaign speeches, but also with their
voting record that they embrace at least eight of ten conservative
principles (listed below).
Bopp tells OneNewsNow he has yet to
get RNC chairman Michael Steele's opinion on his proposal because the resolution
was leaked prematurely by "people who are trying to undermine the effort." He
says the resolution is designed to ensure the party puts its money where its
mouth is.
(This is a great idea. Some of us on the right have been concerned that the Grand Old Party has been forgetting it's core principles like right to life, a strong America, and less spending of the tax payer's money. I hope the leadership of the party will follow this idea but I am not sure. Too often the party and some of it's members have been more concerned with being liked than standing on principal. )
