We asked Mark Willis, Maine’s Republican National Committeeman to step up and challenge Reince Priebus during the January 25th RNC Officers Election during their Winter Meeting in Charolotte, NC. (Jan. 23rd – Jan.26th).
Mark replied to us saying:
“Let me begin by
saying that I am honored to find my name on the short list as a
potential candidate next to two great statesmen, Congressman Ron Paul
and Senator Jim DeMint. As we all know, these two men have fought the
good fight for years on Capitol Hill – lower taxes, less spending, and
an overall decentralized Federal Government that would actually abide by
the Constitution. Sadly, they seem to be two outgoing voices in the
wilderness of an out of control Federal Government with few replacements
on the horizon. Men perhaps of a different age – principled leaders are
hard to come by these days.
Therefore, after
much deliberation and discussion with my wife Violet, I let Bryan know
that due to the fact that no one has stepped up to the plate, I would in
fact run for Chairman of the RNC, provided I would receive, in writing,
the support of at least 2 RNC members in 3 states (minimum of 6
persons) in order to satisfy the RNC nomination requirements. The
election takes place on Friday, January 25th, 2013 in Charlotte, North
Carolina.”
Since that time we have been working hard to do just that! We have already helped to secure a National RLC Endorsement of Mark Willis’s candidacy and have pushed this story onto the National radar!
More @ Step Down Now
There are currently only two states which have endorsed him. He needs 3. So one more state needs to have two of the three committeemen/women/chairs endorse him for this to go forward.
ReplyDeleteIf that doesn't happen, we get Reince Priebus with no challenger.
I suggest phone calls and emails to those people who can vote on January 25.
