In response to our recent message on the lack of support for Scott Brown on the part of Michael Steele's Republican National Committee and John Cornyn's National Republican Senatorial Committee, some of our members claimed that we'd gotten it wrong, and that Steele and Cornyn are 100% behind Scott Brown's campaign.
We called the NRSC to ask whether they were providing resources to support Scott Brown's campaign. They refused to answer.
We called the RNC and ended up in voicemail.
Here's the latest information we could find online:
National Journal:
"The NRSC has not spent any money on independent expenditures in MA, leaving some in the conservative blogosphere incensed that the party isn't doing more to help Brown."

David Weigel, The Washington Independent:
"While a spokesman for the NRSC pointed out that Brown’s race is one of the featured campaigns on the organization’s homepage, and that the organization has aided Brown’s campaign to the tune of $50,000, that’s less than one-tenth the commitment that the NRCC made to Jim Tedisco, the unsuccessful GOP candidate for a Democratic-held House seat in a New York special election last year."

Michelle Malkin:
"Brown received a measly $50,000 from the national GOP and NRSC compared to the nearly $1 million that radical leftist Dede Scozzafava raked in."
From the above, it would appear that Scott Brown is not getting much support from the national Republican Party establishment. On the other hand, Brown claims he's gotten everything he's wanted from the RNC and NRSC:
"Perhaps most surprising to me was when I asked about the RNC and NRSC, [Scott] Brown said that everything he's wanted, he's gotten, mostly phones and technological assistance. He's still looking for donations and volunteers..."

Based on the above, it appears that the RNC and NRSC are providing Brown with some phones, some technological assistance and a handful of cash. Determining whether that's truly everything Brown wanted from the national Republicans is left as an exercise for the reader.
Thoughts? Please weigh in below.
PLEASE go to Scott Brown's website and donate. I gave $35. If each of us gives this little amount it will add up to big rewards. The Dems have pulled out all their big $$$$$ guns and the SEIU at the last minute. The Repubs have shown their colors - Let's show ours! WE ARE TEA PARTY
This brings the loyalty back to "We the People" not the political party.
You can contribute all you want. It is NONE of Texas business who you contribute to!
the website you need to contribute to is as follows:

This should help you. If not, please email me and I will help, ok?

Come on folks, we are shooting ourselves in the foot with this sniping. We MUST stand together for at least this 2010 cycle or we are going to lose and lose big. Our country is at stake.
Money for TEA Party ONLY

Don't wait on the Republican Party to do anything - again they just don't get it!!
He needs to go. Think he is an Obama double agent.
He said if we don't like him fire him
I say FIRE him!!!!!
If we are relying on R's to help us I think we are barking up the wrong tree. They are less than half the problem anyway. Maybe they are watching the conservative reaction. Maybe they don't think he can win. Who knows, but even if he loses it's a strong message to send to the WH.
It's interesting that neither Mr. Brown or the RNC will comment in a detailed way. Perhaps he really did get what he wanted and the RNC is trying to avoid the blowback from the Scozzafava debacle (which was a VERY bad decision by them).
Brown!!!!!
What Republicans/Conservatives have is a tragic failure to communicate among ourselves, i.e. the various established Republican organizations, who have all the national pulpits, and grass roots folks, me and thee and the Teas, who have all the newest ideas and most of the energy.
The Dems on the other hand are commited to ending the Republican Party and transforming America to Socialism.
With this type of in-ignoring of each others' valuable contributions, it will be a miracle if we manage to overhaul Congress to right of center.
No, I don't expect you to even consider what I'm sa
The Republican Party had better move their "arses" on this one.
It was with difficulty that I declared myself a Republican this year after the ad nauseum I felt last year. I am willing to try and re-direct this Party back to it's goals but I will spend every moment of my time doing research to discover whether it is being done. I want nothing to do with a Party of whimps or liars and I will not be.
I do have many hopes for the Repubican Party and think perhaps that they just need a little push-start to remember what they represent---but much more importantly-WHO they represent!
According to Move America Forward's website, last week $1.3M was raised in a 24 hour period for Scott Brown. I think he is being well funded, but of course he can always use more. If we feel Mr. Brown needs more financial support, we as conservatives need to step up and provide it.
Sessions is lazy as dirt
And neither do we need in the street fight we are in!!!!
