“My biggest random rant is people who do not understand the WSRP, it’s role (sic), structure, power or abilities and have never been involved with the WSRP. And then make claims which simply are not true.” ~Kirby Wilbur, Chairman of the Washington State Republican Party What does it mean to be a Republican? Why does our party exist? These don’t seem like questions that | Read More »
225 years ago, the Founders of our Great Republic gave us a gift; The United States Constitution. This monumental document changed the nature of the relationship between the governed and government. No longer could government keep the citizenry under its boot with unlimited power, for this Constitution laid out in plain, but specific detail what the government was allowed to do. These enumerated powers contained | Read More »
Dear Mr. Chairman: On Thursday June 28, 2012 the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the monstrous legislation known as “Obamacare.” As I am sure you are aware, the Washington State Attorney General and a Republican candidate for Washington State Governor, Rob McKenna, has said that he opposes a repeal of any portion of the Affordable Care Act and is ready to implement it | Read More »
Edited by Mr. Jordan Torres The new Marvel superhero movie, “The Avengers” is out this weekend. People are waiting in long lines and trying to buy tickets to sold out shows. They don’t just want to be entertained. They’re not simply looking for an escape from their daily lives. I believe that Americans are hungry for a hero. In a time when our leaders | Read More »

Many of us worked hard for Rick’s campaign, seeing him as the | Read More »

After the results of the straw poll were released, I found myself wondering, “Does Washington | Read More »
Today, Saturday, March 03, 2012 Washington State held its Republican Party precinct caucuses. This was my first time participating in the caucuses and I also had the privilege of being a Caucus Captain for the Rick Santorum campaign.

**UPDATED on July 22, 2012** It’s quiet. It pretends not to exist. It lives in the shadows, hidden and rarely talked about. It is the political fringe. Conservatives have historically claimed that the fringe live on the far edge of the left, while progressives claim that it exists solely on the right. Both sides are wrong. In the last several years we have seen | Read More »
We, as conservatives, are under a microscope. Progressives on both sides of the aisle are watching us, just waiting for us to err. They are waiting for us to misspeak or misuse a word. As members of the conservative laity, we must present ourselves, our candidates and our Cause in the best light possible. One of the ways that we do this is with our | Read More »
Our nation, for over two hundred years, has been a beacon of hope and liberty for all the world to see and marvel at. Anyone could come to America and experience liberty.
