Wed. Apr. 22, 2021...

I am NOT going to Publicly shame anyone in Lansing (not by directly naming them anyway) here... BUT, I feel compelled to share with you all the following email response I sent in response to someone OPPOSING THE CALL TO CENSURE PETER MEIJER AND FRED UPTON OF MICHIGAN (as some other States have moved to STAND ON PRINCIPLE and Censure Republicans) for their Actions (mostly for, but not wholely for) in the IMPEACHMENT SHAM and "the person in question here: we'll call her Jane Doe" just wanting to MOVE ON... Same ole, same ole, let's just IGNORE OUR SUPPOSED PRINCIPLES..... If you have NO PRINCIPLES, you should go join the Democrat Party, WE are FIGHTING to make the GOP a PRINCIPLED PARTY.

First, "Mr Public" (I've changed his name too) below responded to her first, and you'll see my response as bolstering his position....
And, lastly before that, those of you who know me, feel free to email me and I'll happily pass along a copy of the 3 Resolutions in question for your review and your County/District consideration of passing (like we did in Wayne-12CDRC MI)....

Thank you for your response "Mr. Public"... I wasn't going to respond, but now...

IF NOT NOW, WHEN? WHEN are some EVER going to STAND ON PRINCIPLE?!?!?

Many call to JUST LEAVE the GOP and create a PRINCIPLED PATRIOT PARTY,
I (for now at least, still say) NOW is the time (to remain/stay, involved in GOP*) and STAND AND FIGHT for the values the GOP is SUPPOSED to stand for!

Subject: Principles and Republican Values....

I just wanted to take a moment again to thank everybody else on the Wayne 12th committee in helping to pass the Censure Resolutions (of Meijer/Upton) that I had previously put forth (again, I did not author them, just presented them with our specific District header/mentions) despite the pressure from Lansing (and no doubt allies in DC) to want to just move on, and hope you will join me in getting them passed at our County meeting (and encourage other Districts/Counties to do so (as many had already done so even before we did)).

Thank you for standing on Principal versus The Establishment hacks in Lansing. We just had a contentious Wayne 12 election where outsiders tried to paint many of us on the Committee as RINO Establishment hacks and yet now they side with the very same RINO establishment hacks in Lansing because it will be convenient for them to try to claim power (they are about control, not credibility). They are about THE BLACK TIE PARTIES, not the Party Principles.

Also, we saw about the same thing after 8 years of Ronald Reagan (HE WAS AN OUTSIDER, JUST MOVE ON FROM REAGAN AND VOO-DOO ECONOMICS, RETURN TO INSIDER POLITICS) - yes, I've been involved in Politics since 1978 (fighting for Conservative values, against Fascicrats and go-along-to-get-along Democrat-lite (CINOs) Republicans alike) - people just claiming he was an anomaly and it is not what the Republican Party was really about or Stands for and they just wanted to move on and go back to the normal crony insider (elect Globalist HWBush, move on, return to), scratch each other's backs, politics, cozying up to and letting Democrats slide.

And while Trump has his faults, I had/have my issues/disagreements with him (see related: http://tinyurl.com/Conservative1st), but I am sickened to see history repeating itself (Insiders saying, move on, FORGET THE OUTSIDER TRUMP) in the Republican Party and Folks willing to say THE IMPEACHMENT SHAMS WERE OK WITH THEM, JUST MOVE ON! If it were John Kasich or Jeb Bush, you can bet they would NOT have gone along and would not be Silent now about those who had.

So this is ABOUT PRINCIPLES NOT (Trump) PERSONALITIES. Let's not for a moment pretend that the RINOs in Lansing or DC don't call out fellow Republicans: They call out Conservative Marjorie Taylor Green (threaten to remove her from Committee assignments if she doesn't sit down and shut up) because she is a real Conservative with Principles/Values and attack her because she will NOT SELL OUT. They side with Liberal Democrats in attacking Matt Gaetz over one unfounded allegation while still ignoring the Tara Reade allegations against Biden, the Ralph Northam and VA-AG incidents, or endless Women coming out against Gov Cuomo, and all after their sham attacks on Justice Kavanaugh. Remember they attacked Representative King from Iowa and sided with Democrats on trumped-up cries of Racism and removed him of his Committee assignments and now he's out of Congress because he's a Conservative who stood for Republican Values and Principles whereas they really do not - they only care about power and moving the party to the Left/Center rather than Republican Platform Values and Principles. Do YOU answer to Lansing, or is the Party supposed to listen to US THE DELEGATES?!?!? Some, without any Constitution, Due Process, Rule Of Law, Principles, say yes we should just go along with unPrincipled RINOs YET AGAIN. I for one say NO to those who just want to EXIT the GOP and form a Principled PATRIOT PARTY (which will only further empower and help elect more Fascicrats as GOP Candidates weakened), and instead I say that (for now, at least) we should STAND AND FIGHT and try to Salvage/Return the GOP back to Principled stands. Again, I Thank you all for the unanimous Vote to do so at our last Meeting and passing the Resolutions not just calling out Meijer/Upton UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTIONS but putting RINOs in Lansing on notice too (even more-so with the Election Integrity Resolution we passed, as they did nothing for years which resulted in the 2020 sham Elections and still again now want to hide under their desks)! And, again, hope you'll join me in Fighting for these Principles again at next District and County meetings. Again, this is NOT about Trump and whether he comes back in 2024, but a FIGHT FOR THE SOUL OF THE PARTY (and whether we actually show we have Principles, or we do not)! Oh, sure, they mouth the words about calling out Fascicrats, but WHERE ARE THE REAL ACTIONS?

And when I say Fascicrats, I mean it - see: http://tinyurl.com/FASCICRATS (not hyperbole)
Are we to be as bad as them? Sacrificing ALL PRINCIPLES for expedience of holding on to Power/Control or its further attainment (which would, IMO, be hollow without PRINCIPLES)!

I do not claim CREDIT for the Resolutions, as they came from other Districts (that have passed them already), but am willing to shoulder the HATE/BLAME/BACKLASH for being a PASSIONATE ADVOCATE for STANDING ON PRINCIPLE!
[again, any of you who do know me, want a copy, email me and I'll happily share them with you.]

Conservatives.... TEAParty activists.... When/Where are you willing to Stand and Fight?

Since many won't follow the link and check out the Article, here it is (in full) below...

Anyone else as frustrated as I am to see/hear… Some folks that are jumping up and down screaming they will Fight to the Death for Conservatism on Tuesday, that quickly and completely sell out on Wednesday…. That’s OK, I’ll be the “Bad Guy” and the one that says what many Think but aren’t comfortable enough to honestly say aloud.

Yes, I know, I’ve been told many times I should be more “diplomatic” but I have to look myself in the mirror and demand honesty of myself, and of others, foolishly thinking I could/might get that honesty! Are you not yet fed-up with the “compromising” being always a one-way street and that you (Conservatives) are always expected to be the ones on the compromising end/side (to the GOP Establisment Democrat-lite CINOs)?

Let me say in advance: Sorry, to some that may take offense thinking I’m referring to them when I am not. I am very Proud to have fought, and to Fight, along side you! Unfortunately, the ones who it really is about won’t bother to give it/this a second thought – they are comfortable waffling in the breeze on a day to day basis surrendering their supposed Principles!

You know the folks… The one’s who say – this is not the Hill to Fight on… But, you know/notice, for many there never comes a Hill that they ever feel worthy of standing ground and Fighting on! There is a big distinction from being willing to, time to time, be reasonable, and compromise, and that of those always waiving the Flag of Surrender. It’s always “next time for sure” but every next time is another excuse! It’s always, we just don’t have the numbers, but how do you ever expect anyone to come and reinforce your ranks and Fight along side you when they see you will most assuredly just Surrender again. It’s always things could be different if more would Fight, but their example is to never really Fight themselves (hardly encouraging and inviting for others they demand must join the Fight to actually join the Fight)!

I joined the #GOP in 1979, as a Reagan Conservative, cuz I believe in the things our Party Platform claims we stand for, not to ever be a Tax/Spend, Liberal, Socialist, Democrat-lite, RINO/CINO, that the majority in our Party actually represent! :) #IWillNeverSellOutNoMatterHowOftenTheyDemandMeTo
