Michael Steele Resignation
7-8-2010
July 8, 2010
Dear Chairman Steele,
Throughout your tenure as Chairman we have found ourselves defending you to fellow conservatives. That's because we are committed to honoring Ronald Reagan’s 11th
Commandment, which requires us not to not speak ill of fellow Republicans. Furthermore, we need to be unified if we are to defeat the progressive, socialist, liberal agenda that is bleeding our country dry of resources and wealth.
Unfortunately, for several key reasons, registered Republicans from across the nation are encouraging you to resign.
First, your gaffes over the past few have been embarrassing to our party. They would make Joe Biden blush. For example...
Your shocking comments about the war in Afghanistan showed a lack of knowledge and a complete disregard for the safety of our troops. This alone should force your resignation. But we've only scratched the surface.
When you called abortion an "individual choice," you aligned yourself with the radical left on a moral principle that is the cornerstone of our party. Protecting the life of helpless unborn Americans reveals the true character of a leader. If we can't count on you to defend the basic right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for of our unborn citizens, can we really count on you to defend any rights? You have been weighed and found wanting.
When you called Rush Limbaugh’s show “incendiary" and "ugly" you showed that your base (who loves Rush Limbaugh) is not your top concern. You claimed that these gaffes were "part of a plan." Unless of course your plan was to follow Tom Delay on "Dancing with the Stars"
When you first became Chairman, you said you wanted to recast the GOP's image in more “urban-suburban hip-hop settings.” If what we have seen is what you meant, then we want no part of it.
The Obama administration and the Democrat-controlled Congress are trampling the Constitution, which our forefathers fought and died to protect. Americans have had enough. Republican voters have had enough of spineless Republicans who cater to the liberal media and the Democrat Party. We need a Chairman who can harness the tremendous success of the TEA party movement. We need a Chairman who is ready to fight and ready to lead us to victory. We need a Chairman who can bring everyone together in strength, not divide us and allow us to be picked-off by liberals. We need a chairman who can blast the Democratic administration for runaway spending and lack of fiscal accountability and moral responsibility. But the RNC Chairman must set the example by having his house in order first (those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones).
Mr. Steele, because you have not been the leader our party needs, we are asking you to do the right thing and resign your position.
Thank you for your past service, but please do the right thing.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned Patriots
