Act and vote like Ron Paul!By Donald L. WoodCandidate for Member, Republican Party County Central Committee; County of Los Angeles; Assembly District 47 | |
This information is provided by the candidate |
I am only running for central committee because I admire the integrity and honesty of Ron Paul R-TX.You might not want to hear this, but the Los Angeles Republican party is in Shambles. Many of the seats for central committee are wide open because nobody wants them. There was 55 uncontested/open seats throughout LA County. That's not good. That's 55 less people who can help the party grow and win elections. I have talked to many people on the streets while getting my signatures to be eligible for Central Committee, and people constantly tell me that the Republicans are only for the rich and are crooks. They say that the Republican party is dying. How are we supposed to represent and sell conservative values to people when they so distrust Republicans? How are Republicans going to win local elections if the masses don't trust us? I don't agree with everything on Dr. Ron Paul's platform, but he at least keeps things honest. He says what he believes even and always votes according to what he believes. That kind of honesty resonates with people, makes them excited, and makes them faithful to a candidate. If we don't start running honest and ethical candidates who vote according to their principles and respect The Constitution, then what makes us think anything is going to change for Repubicans? Do we have to wait for terrorists to strike us again before we all unite behind a President? If you elect me to Committee I will do whatever is in my power to make sure our candidates have integrity. I will make sure that our elections have integrity and are transparent. And I will work diligently to make non-Repubicans trust our party once more. If we do not change things from the bottom up NOW, then the Repubican base in Los Angeles County will shrivel up and the party will wither away. Let's use the integrity and honesty that Dr. Ron Paul has infused into the Republican party to get people excited about real conservative issues again. Please write-in "Donald" for "Central Committee" in the 47th district. |
