The Republican Party must stop in-fighting and start working together to help American tax payers and stop the current administration's road to socialism.  The RNC and Republican leaders from Congress, Republican governors, and conservative leaders from organizations must come together with a strategy and priority list for Americans. 

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele on Thursday challenged some of the most prominent critics in his party to fire him or "shut up."  Responding directly to a report Thursday in The Washington Times that some top donors are bypassing the RNC to give to the Republican Governors Association and other party campaign committees and candidates because of discontent with Mr. Steele, the national chairman struck an aggressive tone.

Mr. Steele referred to former RNC chairmen and finance chairmen who have criticized him publicly as being "the problem; they're not the solution." Former RNC Chairmen Jim Nicholson, Rich Bond and Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr. have questioned some of Mr. Steele's side activities, including giving speeches for pay and promoting his new book, "Right Now: A 12-Step Program for Defeating the Obama Agenda," while holding down the party's top job.  Everyone should read this book and develop a plan.

The Times on Thursday quoted Mr. Nicholson - who served as secretary of veterans affairs for President George W. Bush - as saying, "I do not see how a chairman can do book tours and give speeches for fees that go to him and not the RNC, which needs more money badly."

Mr. Gingrich told reporters that "Michael Steele makes a number of old-time Republicans very nervous. He comes out of a different background. ... But I think he's pretty close to what we need. He's different, he's gutsy and he's going to make a number of Republicans mad," according to an Associated Press account.

Mr. Steele defended his stewardship of the party and his handling of party finances, saying RNC cash was critical to the party's gubernatorial wins in New Jersey and Virginia in November.  Let's raise cash and win elections.

There are several key issues that Republicans can target to win seats in Congress.

Be Truthful and Honest to American Citizens
National Security
Job Creation
Limit Federal Government Powers
Stop Borrowing Money
Be Fiscal Conservative (Cut Useless Programs and Spending)
Promote Individual Rights
Term Limits for Members of Congress (w/no benefits)

Support the RNC in its efforts.

We all agree that the Republican Party needs a new message and messenger.  Republicans lost their traditional “economy” issue due to the economic crisis and the “bailout” worth billions of dollars—proposed by a Republican President.  The Republican values of a free market, smaller government, and individual responsibility were thrown out the window during this election cycle.  The Republican Party let the Democrats steal their issues.

The economy was the overwhelming issue on the minds of voters. Democrats were able to define their message; whereas, the Republicans were simply unable to frame this issue in a way in which voters could relate.
