July 25th, 2011, by Mark Baisley (Chairman)
The following is an excerpt from my TownHall article at: http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/markbaisley/2011/07/24/the_folly_of_principle_before_party   I appeal to conservatives who are disappointed in Republican leadership to get even more involved with the GOP and to recruit your like-minded friends to join you in the struggle.

The "Independent" Myth
July 28th, 2009, by Chris Holbert (District Captain 22)
Do you think of yourself as being an “Independent” voter?  Do you prefer to vote for the person rather than a party?

You may have noticed ongoing changes with the DCGOP.org website.  These changes represent the change in how we are going to be doing business.  We were faced with questions and concerns that it was too hard to get information, to get involved, or to get heard... we listened and are taking action.

Why the Tea Parties are Important
April 8th, 2009, by Steven Nielson (Secretary)
On November 4th, 2008, the United States was drastically changed - the most liberal leftist President in the history of the US had been elected - running on a platform of wealth redistribution and a slew of other socialist ideals.  Since November 5th the left has been joining in chorus, relishing in song that "capitalism is dead."  If Capitalism is dead, then the fundamentals...   Continue Reading Article...
