This is an initiative for moderate / traditional Republicans who feel that the current assumptive candidate does not reflect true Republican values, and who feel that this must change in order to save the Party.
1) Fundamentally we need a candidate who does not lie. If a person is not honest about small things, he / she is not honest about the big things. If a person lies he / she is morally corrupt inside. If we vote for a candidate who lies, we are endorsing lies as legitimate. This makes us personally a liar. We all may be liars now because of our actions in 2016. The Party is now infiltrated by liars. We used to call this “ The Swamp” and hoped to get rid of it, but we got a far worse “Swamp” of uncontrollable, unaccountable liars who are entrenching themselves into our Party and government using intimidation to pervert our American values.
The takeaway from this is, “I cannot vote for a liar and the party must provide an honest candidate. If the party has lost control to liars I must decline to vote or vote outside of the Party to get my party back. If I decline to vote for the party candidate I will write in my vote for a person who I could support in order to show the party who to support next election, even if I have to write in Ronald Reagan.
2). We need a candidate who is knowledgeable and informed on the issues and has the clear head and intelligence /wisdom to make sound decisions for the nation and party. If we vote for an uninformed, emotionally immature, fragile, unwise person, then we are endorsing government by ignorant, erratic, and foolish people. This makes us supporters of erratic, ignorant fools. Supporting fools makes us fools. Again, the current party leadership is suppressing the best and brightest in our party and all too often only providing fools as options. This will not change until we take our power back.
The takeaway from this is the same as above. Demand that the party not support fools as candidates by either voting for another party candidate or writing in the name of a Republican you can support. Take the party back, SEND THE MESSAGE in 2020.
3) We need a candidate who is not willing to divide the greatest nation on earth. If we support candidates who work to increase any divisions among Americans rather than working to lessen these divisions, then we support dividing and destroying the greatest democracy on earth. If we support thus, then we must label ourselves as such. You know the labels ... Fascist, Supremecist, Un-American, etc. If we don’t support this then we need to make our voice heard within the party. Working across all interests of all Americans is required by our Democracy, and we need bi-partisan support to achieve our goals.
The takeaway from this is the same. Don’t vote for candidates who work to divide the nation. We must force the party to change and the only way is through the ballot box. Send the message in 2020, take back the party, don’t vote for anyone who supports dividing America. Vote the dividers our so our Party can regain it’s American values.
4). We need a candidate who doesn’t consort with foreign dictators supporting un-American values.
5) We need a candidate who attracts the best and brightest support staff in his administration, not one who places his lawyers and relatives in positions of power. We wouldn’t let Obama do it, so how can we let the current candidate do it?
We need a candidate who can attract the best in the party, and not attract those equally or more inappropriate for governance than he is. When the current administration appoints a staffer, that staffer is praised as being brilliant and wonderful. Then, all too often when that staffer stands up for true Republican values, he / she is fired, and ridiculed as a criminal and/ or an idiot. What changed? Nothing, the President just found out that his staffer has true Republican values and won’t lie, or work to divide the Nation. This is how true Republicans are eliminated from positions of influence. Take back our party. Vote these people out of office.
6). We need a candidate who represents the moral values we want to instill in our children, not those of an adulterer and cheater. If we support an adulterer and cheater, then we support immorality. If we support immorality, then we are immoral. The party is making us into immoral people. SEND THE MESSAGE. Take back our party in 2020. Vote the immoral people out of office. Write in the name of a true Republican to let them know the type of candidate you want.
