Re-emphasizing the plan for Republicans going into the future: become the confident, optimistic party! We support the best plans for the country - we should be confident about it, optimistic!
Republicans must also connect with minorities. To my knowledge - Hispanics and Asians are the quickest growing groups of voters - it's obvious Republicans MUST connect with them. It's crazy to just give up California to the Democrats. Plus I suggest Republican leaders should reach out to Pastor Jeremiah Wright; communicate with him; start a friendly relationship with him; go speak to his former church -- Trinity United Church of Christ -- among other black churches; go to the Hispanic and Asian communities too; spread out our message!
Plus I'm going to state it again -- I respect Representative John Boehner and his service to our country and to his constituents, but he CANNOT become the minority leader again. It's obviously time for new leadership in the House.
Representatives Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, Michele Bachmann and other new faces should become the new leaders. We GOTTA get the message out to new American voters and expand our base. Reduced government, responsible spending, lower taxes, strong national defense, strong family values, respect for life, more freedom. Responsible, respectful opposition to the other party.
We'll only be successful with a spread-out, team-effort. It must be a team-effort.
