As you can see in the image above, the people wishing to destroy the GAGOP and lead us into irrelevance are finally revealing themselves, as they know they are losing control.
Four district parties are deciding to support the philosophy that helps Brad Raffensperger and others like him controlling your state and ruining our Republican Party.
In our last e-mail, we made it clear the recent action by the GAGOP in allowing the RNC to potentially support a candidate for governor showed the clear and logical philosophy that the Republican Party’s number one goal must be to get its platform enacted into law, and to do so by getting candidates elected who will actually enact the platform.
The GAGOP actually taking a stand regarding candidates is extremely similar to the GAGOP’s past action in banning Geoff Duncan from running as a Republican (leading him to run as a Democrat this time), and the vote to ban Raffensperger from running as a Republican this year (which would be a logical extension of the party allowing RNC support for Burt Jones in Georgia).
In essence, the Republican Party/GAGOP is making it clear we are not a tool to be bought and sold by the political industry or whatever candidate thinks they can pay enough money, to trick enough voters, to get ballot access in November. The GAGOP must set the platform and standard, to maintain the brand, and ensure that our nominee in November is going to actually enact the party’s platform when elected. Which includes allowing the RNC to support a favored candidate. Or blocking Raffensperger from the primary ballot as the delegates demanded.
In response to this positive philosophical decision, the 8th, 10th, and 12th district Republican party leadership decided to reject the grassroots and publicly declare their support for Brad Raffensperger with resolutions demanding that the party always maintain neutrality and “follow the primary voters”. As this was being drafted, the 9th district passed a similar resolution as well.
At least one of the resolutions falsely claims that “maintaining strict institutional neutrality in contested primaries protects grassroots participation”, even though, ironically, many of these people were opposed to Trump, opposed to the GRA, wanted to drive off the scores of people involved due to election integrity, and refuse to have the party do anything different to regain relevance.
They passed these misleading resolutions while falsely claiming to suddenly go from being politicians’ sycophants to being “grassroots”, knowing fully well that almost all primary voters do not even know the GAGOP exists, that almost all primary voters do not know how to be involved with the GAGOP, and that almost all primary voters falsely believe that the GAGOP has more requirements to run for office as a Republican than simply falsely claiming to be a Republican and paying some money.
The 8th, 9th, 10th, and 12th district Republican party leadership knows that neutrality by the party, which consists of educated voters/activists like you, is not actually neutrality. By the party refusing to lead and prevent fake Republicans from running on Republican primary ballots, it ensures that self-serving candidates like Brad Raffensperger can buy their way on to primary ballots, then buy their way into winning a primary and being a representative of the Republican Party, and then end up serving in office as a fake “Republican”. This pay to play mentality ruins the GOP brand and makes it harder to win elections or get our platform enacted, since those politicians have no loyalty to the party’s platform.
And remember: the people who are making money off politics, including those getting paid by Brad Raffensperger’s campaign, from paid staff to those getting a % of every expenditure, through every TV ad buy, radio buy, mailer, sign, or other material, *don’t care if Republicans win in November*. They don’t care if the Republican Party is strong or wins long term. They don’t care if the Republican Party platform is enacted.
In fact, they would prefer it not be enacted.
Why? If the platform is enacted, less people will care to run for office. And the paid political industry just care that the most people, with money, are running for office and fighting each other in primaries. Because that means more money is being spent, so they are getting paid more. Having elections where Republicans aren’t wasting money fighting each other means less money for them to take home to their families.
Having a party that allows fake Republicans to run as Republicans is welfare for the paid political industry. And having a party that allows fake Republicans to run as Republicans is impotent, as no volunteers want to support a system where their voices are not heard.
So for now, you’ll want to watch what these so-called “party leaders” are doing. And when the next convention cycle comes in 2027, you’ll want to replace the party “leaders” who are wanting the party to be impotent and irrelevant.
You need to be recruiting actual Republican voters now to join us to make this happen.
You’ll want to elect party leaders that want to use the party, through your votes/voices (such as votes of various committees or the state delegates) to keep non-Republicans off the Republican primary ballot, and to ensure that non-Republicans are not taking party resources.
Don’t fall for the “leadership” of districts like the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 12th districts that are acting like they are standing up for the party or primary voters: they are standing up for the paid political industry.
Many of them likely aren’t grassroots, they never have been, and a little searching on their social media profiles makes that obvious.
If they truly cared about the party, they’d be passing resolutions and issuing statements demanding that the grassroots GAGOP delegates voices be heard and followed in keeping Brad Raffensperger off the primary ballot. Not trying to HELP Raffensperger become governor.
If they care about primary voters, they’d be working to have thousands more primary voters showing up to their party meetings, and those primary voters would be electing new grassroots party leadership that understands that what matters is getting Republican principles enacted. Not having monied interests try to run our elections and our party.
If you agree that these type of people need to be removed, I encourage you to join the GRA so we can be organized in 2027. The GRA is holding an endorsing convention for statewide primaries on March 21st, 2026, and members approved by February 19th, 2026 can participate in the voting.
