Fellow Republican,
One common mindset is to vote for the person, not the party. The other is to vote for the party a person affiliates with, no matter what.
Both assume that we are voting to give a person a job. That premise, and both mindsets, are wrong.
Politicians are human. That's why they are imperfect, and intrinsically flawed, as we all are. The paid political industry tries to convince voters otherwise, claiming perfect virtue of imperfect people, further adding to disenchantment when the high expectations are not met. The liberal media makes it far worse, by attacking Republicans mercilessly.
We shouldn't stoop to their level. The truth is what matters. And the truth is that there are a set of policies that are best for society. And what we are voting for, every time we vote, is for what policies we want to see enacted. To do this, we vote for the party whose candidates that are the most likely to enact the policies that are good for society.
The GOP may not be perfect, but it is that party we should vote for.
And those imperfections: lack of accountability to principles and organization, are the things we need to work together to fix in the future. But as we stated in our last e-mail, the Georgia GOP State Committee voted to hold the 2017 GAGOP Convention, which will determine party rules, resolutions, and will elect new party leadership, on June 2-3, 2017 in Augusta, Georgia. For now, and until then, we need to work together to get Republican candidates elected, as well as getting more people involved in politics. Which is why you should SHARE this, and the events below, with others.

Georgia Republican Assembly (and Other GOP Supportive Groups): In addition to my involvement in the GOP, I am also the President of the Georgia Republican Assembly, the Georgia chapter of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies. We stand for accountability in politics to the Republican principles that. We are specifically targeting and gaining members quickly throughout Georgia (including, most importantly, those who have never previously been involved in politics), and I urge you to consider applying to join (assuming you support what we believe). We have local chapters in Fulton, Cherokee, DeKalb, and Cobb Counties (which are all locally run), and we are spreading throughout the state. This is to empower more Republicans from the public so they will help us strengthen the GOP, grow local GOP chapters, and to ensure that the best candidates are nominated and elected to office. I urge you to check out the website to learn more.
And if you don't want to do that, I strongly encourage you to go to other events (listed above) and get involved in not only your local GOP, but also other Republican-principled groups around the State. (NOTE: As the GRA is a bottom-up grassroots organization, anything in this e-mail should NOT be construed to be an official statement of the thoughts or beliefs of the GRA or any of its members)
Event Database:
Thank you to everyone who has submitted information for the Event Database, please send more information! We are still working to compile a complete list of, and support, as many Republican-principled (including YRs, Tea Parties, etc) groups as possible, as well as compiling a list of interesting events by those groups. If you want to be included in this effort, and know of any upcoming events, or happen to know (or be) a leader of such a group, please send us your contact information, name of your group or event, and any details.
Let’s work together to find ways to make the Republican Party brand strong. Let’s work together to ensure that Republican policies are enacted which, naturally, make our nation strong. Let’s work together to Advance the GOP.
As shown by past messages below, we will continue to Advance the GOP. If you want to spread this to others, forward it to your Republican friends and subscribe them to this mailing list. Together, we can all Advance the GOP in Georgia.
