The battle to regain the conservative heart and soul of the Republican Party continues. Today, the FBI was mailed the first of many letters to come, requesting a formal investigation into the unethical and illegal practices of a faction of the Missouri Republican Party that have disenfranchised so many properly elected delegates by challenging them without basis. The letter was written by a former private investigator. Additional letters will be sent by conservative Republican voters to various State and Federal agencies requesting an investigation into the matter. Jared Craighead, Executive Director of the Missouri GOP will also receive his letter tomorrow, alerting him to the formal investigation.

The letter is from a conservative voter who supported a Republican presidential candidate that is no longer in the presidential race, a stark indication that anyone who supported a Republican presidential candidate other than John McCain before the primary is at risk of being unseated at the Republican State Convention in Branson, Missouri on May 31. A full recording of one credentials hearing in Jefferson City on May 5, can be found here, where Craighead confirms this in his own words: http://youtube.com/watch?v=fsUEvyDlvE8 (begin at 3:35).

Chillingly, this means that any Republican who voted for Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Fred Thompson, or any other presidential candidate besides McCain in the February 5 preferential primary may be literally under the microscope, that is, except for Party leaders. Case in point: Doug Russell, Chairman of the Missouri GOP was in the hearing room when challenged delegates and alternates were being interrogated and did not stop the process, although according to FEC records, Russell donated $2,300 to Mitt Romney's campaign and remains unchallenged.

Conservative and Christian Conservative leaders are outraged at the apparent 'takeover' of the Republican Party by its current leadership:

Additional libel, slander and civil rights lawsuits will soon be filed.

Good. Legal action is all we have.

Even if we lose somehow, just keeping them tied down in legal tape makes out point that we were mistreated and some of these clowns should not be in charge if they can't be fair.

Wow...that YouTube video would make even the most dedicated Republican. Our party leadership has gone the way of the Nazi's...I pledge to do whatever it takes to correct the misdirected Republican party at the local level.

I wonder if the FBI is the agency or office that should be contacted regarding charges against the MO GOP. Perhaps a letter to the state's attorney general should be sent , also the state elections board.

Should be learned here that the bylaws need to be changed to require a challenged delegate be presented with the written challenge and that persons making the challenge are required to be identified to the accused.
