Two Candidates DENIED Republican Title / Brand

Two Candidates DENIED Republican Title / Brand

The Georgia Republican Party (on the state level) has done two things in the past year to maintain the Republican Party’s reputation and brand.

One, was when the State Executive Committee of the GAGOP voted to adopt a resolution (“resolution” = “written motion”) to ban Geoff Duncan from running as a Republican.

The second, was when the State Republican Party Convention voted to adopt a resolution (again, “resolution” = “written motion”) to ban Brad Raffensperger from running as a Republican.

For those of you who don’t know Roberts Rules of Order, a motion is a proposal within an organization (be it a board of directors, a convention, the state committee, or any other governing body or committee) to take some sort of action and it requires the organization to enact any commands within it.

Geoff Duncan, is running for Governor as a Democrat. He decided NOT to try to lie to voters and claim he’s a Republican, possibly due to the party making clear that he was not welcome.

Brad Raffensperger, on the other hand, has decided to run for Governor and lie to voters claiming he’s a Republican. While qualifying has not happened yet, some within the State GOP are making statements that mislead people about the role and power of the GAGOP. Simply because the GAGOP has failed for years, due to wanting to work for politicians that are leading us closer to Democrat victories, to exercise its ability to ensure Republican politicians are accountable to you, that does not mean that the Republican Party does not have the power to do so.

There is extensive Supreme Court and federal caselaw that holds that the Republican Party cannot be controlled by state laws, including being forced to qualify people it does not want to associate with for office. The First Amendment guarantees a right to freedom of association. The law is clearly on our side.

There are lawyers that have been helping the Catoosa GOP, pro bono, in getting favorable court rulings that affirm that right. The idea that the party needs millions of dollars to exercise a basic constitutional right is not only false, but also belies the inability of those pushing it to actually reach out to attorneys that are willing to help save the country without charging the party millions of dollars.

If we want to win elections not just next year, but for years into the future, the Republican Party must have a good, consistent brand that enacts great policies into law. Not one that’s sold to the highest bidder and seen as bad, but only better than the alternative.

What type of GOP do you want to see? Cheerleaders for the highest bidders? Or a principled organization that encourages accountability?

URGENT: GAGOP Supports Ending Government Lobbying and Corruption

URGENT: GAGOP Supports Ending Government Lobbying and Corruption

Last week, you discovered how the GAGOP began to re-establish relevance to politicians and voters when it banned Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from ever running again as a Republican, following their ban of Former Lt. Gov Geoff Duncan. This occurred at the GAGOP State Convention this year.

Now, it is important to remind people and spread the word about another written motion (“Resolution”) that passed, establishing that the GAGOP is calling upon any legislator that claims to be a Republican to pass Senate Bill 378 – the “Anti-Corruption Act”.

Did you know that, right now, government entities, funded by YOUR tax dollars, can hire lobbyists to get laws passed and other government action that go against your interest?

You don’t have lobbyists working for you at the Gold Dome, yet those “Republicans” who support bigger government and wealth redistribution to corporate interests get to use your tax dollars to ensure that their policies get enacted.

We still have an income tax in this state, and it’s not because government has hired lobbyists to advocate cutting its own taxes or spending.

Senate Bill 378 would end this practice: ensuring that politicians can’t use your tax dollars to lobby the government.

Additionally, right now, certain state level politicians can receive unlimited contributions through “leadership committees”. These committees were created in 2021 to allow special corporate interests to give extreme monetary power to certain political office holders (mostly so-called “Republican” politicians), who then are able to use the money to terrify other Republicans to fall in line in how they vote.

For example, if politicians had voted against Gov. Brian Kemp’s corporate welfare bill for insurance companies and caused it to fail, they would have potentially had to deal with primary challengers funded by millions of dollars of his “leadership committee” money.

Senate Bill 378 would end these “leadership committees to create a level playing field for all Georgia politicians, making it harder to bully your state representative or state senator.

Click here to see the bill as proposed.

And click here to see the GRA-endorsed and submitted resolution that was overwhelmingly passed by the GAGOP, at convention, in June.

This resolution stated the Georgia Republican Party’s stance on the bill, and called on ALL Republican politicians to support it. While the Brad Raffensperger resolution forces the GAGOP to not qualify him for office, the resolution supporting the Anti-Corruption Act simply makes it clear that the Georgia Republican Party wants to see it passed. What does this mean about getting it done?

It means that each and every Republican in Georgia (including you) are needed to make it happen. How could you do that? Here are two ideas:

  1. Demand Action From Your County, District, and State Party Officers:

This resolution was passed by the GAGOP. Meaning that it is the official position of the entire Georgia Republican Party.

Every person you elected into GAGOP party office needs to be making sure the rest of the party volunteers know about it (forward a copy to them), and that each of them are bringing it up to every state house and state senate member they interact with and letting you know they have done so.

If they refuse to end these two obvious corrupt practices, challenge them at the ballot box next year.

And the people you elected to party office should be willing to speak publicly about the resolution to enact the will of the party. Here is the contact info for the State Executive Committee.

  1. Demand Action From Your Elected Officials:

Bring it up to your state senator or state representative if you see them at party meetings. E-mail them. Call them. Make sure they know the Party’s stance, and hold them accountable!

If Republicans are going to win in November and next year, the Georgia Republican Party needs to lead with common-sense solutions that represent the concerns of citizens in politics: like ending corruption and self-dealing by government, and listening to the GAGOP and not to monied interests. Maintaining the GAGOP brand is the key to Advancing the GOP.

GRA Thrives While Establishment Lies!

GRA Thrives While Establishment Lies!

As you know from a previous e-mail, the GAGOP State Convention voted that the Georgia Republican Party would not allow Brad Raffensperger to qualifying as a Republican in the future, censured House Speaker Jon Burns, and praised Sen. Colton Moore and backed his bill against corruption in Georgia government. 

These resolutions, among others, were endorsed by the Georgia Republican Assembly (which is NOT the GAGOP), by its membership, and the GRA rallied with other principled grassroots conservatives to successfully have them passed by the GAGOP.

VoterGA, a non-profit election integrity group, put out this report about Brad Raffensperger following the resolution at the Georgia Republican Party convention.

Soon after this victory, a coordinated attack campaign was launched by those seemingly resembling the graphic at the top of this e-mail, making up lies about the Georgia Republican Assembly (GRA) and its members. The GRA is committed to ensuring members voices are heard and respected, and that GRA officers do not disregard the will of its members. While GRA members are always free to enact their conscience, GRA officers are required to practice what we preach: following the will of our membership (which is why people should feel comfortable joining). 

At least one GRA officer, after being warned, decided not to do this at the GAGOP convention, and they were removed according to our rules, as per our last message. This led to a number of those aligned with such behavior removing themselves from the organization, before our internal investigatory processes likely recommended the removal of more.

It has also been discovered that some people were not given complete and accurate information were being deceived into agreeing to resign and then that decision being twisted into the appearance of attacks on the GRA. This was being done by those more interested in harming the GRA and grassroots than fighting the Democrats in 2025 and 2026.

GRA Endorses & the Establishment Runs the Other Way

GRA Endorses & the Establishment Runs the Other Way

Thanks to your continued effort, we’ve seen a major grassroots victory at the District GAGOP Conventions—and the Establishment is rattled. A lot has gone on since our last message to you, which talked about how people want you to show up at conventions and not know how to participate. But due to your work, the District GAGOP Conventions last month were a great success, with many great grassroots/anti-Establishment people getting elected and re-elected.

We’re proud to report: grassroots is winning. GRA-endorsed district chairmen candidates like Richard Jordan and David Oles just took the helm in key districts.

The GRA membership had our state endorsing convention on May 10, 2025. This convention is very notable because those who choose to attend come from over a thousand principled Republican grassroots activists from around the state.

At GRA, it’s not donors or insiders who decide—it’s the members. If a candidate earns two-thirds of the vote at convention, they get our endorsement. That’s how we stay true to Republican principles—and how we win.

The GRA is truly member-run, meaning that people who agree with basic Republican principles and accountability for politicians (1) Join; (2) Come to our conventions to endorse the truly grassroots and principled candidate that aligns with those principles; (3) If they receive a 2/3 vote, they are endorsed and the GRA membership rallies to get them elected. 

This is in contrast to just about every other political group or endorsement, where the endorsement is just the product of either (1) One person’s opinion; or (2) Paid for by donors to the “group”. At our conventions, every member gets to vote, and all members’ votes count equally. GRA members have the power, and that terrifies the Establishment hacks who count on personal friendships and connections to outweigh good policies and principles. If you’re in doubt about who to vote for, vote for the GRA endorsed candidates.

The GRA membership chose not to endorse in several key races, reserving our support only for those who meet the highest grassroots standards. These positions shape the direction of the Georgia GOP. If we lose them to Establishment control, we risk more candidates like Geoff Duncan slipping through the cracks.

The GRA did vote to endorse the following candidates, receiving over 2/3 of the members voting in each race:

Joanna Hildreth (Under 80k Caucus Chair: ask your county chair to vote for her!)
• James Dvorak (Over 80k Caucus Chair: ask your county chair to vote for him!)

• Norine Cantor (2nd Vice Chair)
• Laurie McClain (Treasurer)
• Kylie Kremer (Assistant Secretary)


I’d like to especially add a few comments regarding Joanna Hildreth, since the vote on her endorsement was unanimous, and you may recognize her name.

Joanna is the Catoosa County Republican Party Chairman, and if you look back at these past messages (and this one), is the head of the county party that actively is working to keep the government from forcing us (as Republicans) from having to put people on the Republican primary ballot who endorse Democrats and vote to raise taxes and restrict property rights. And she started this fight prior to the GAGOP, this year, voting to keep Geoff Duncan (former Lt. Governor who backed Kamala Harris) from ever being on a Georgia Republican primary ballot.

While only the chairmen of the Under 80k counties vote in this race, I urge you to immediately contact your county chairman and let them know you hope they support Joanna Hildreth as Under 80k Chair and you want the party to fight against attempts to destroy our brand, which will hurt our ability to win in 2026.

Stand with the grassroots. Stand for principles. Stand for accountability.

Resolutions: Your Guide to the GA GOP District Conventions

Resolutions: Your Guide to the GA GOP District Conventions

You know the enemy: the definition of the Establishment. Now make sure you win at your district conventions.

If you’re a delegate or an alternate to a convention, the conventions are about YOU. You are the one who have control of the party at that time, and you are the one who can work to make things better. Either by having the party take a stand on issues, changing rules, or electing new party leadership. You are in control, but you need to know what’s going on. That’s what this is for:

The Georgia GOP is run between state conventions by the State Executive Committee, and the State Committee. This is in the GAGOP Rules.

The State Executive Committee consists of numerous officials, but the main one that needs to be discussed right now are “District Chairmen”. They are elected at upcoming district conventions.

Also, elected at district conventions are members of the “State Committee”. The Rules of the party are available here, and the convention call governing conventions this year is here.

At the district conventions coming up, you can pass party rules, district resolutions (actions by the district), as well as electing district officers and state committee members.

Here are some resolutions I personally suggest, as examples, you may want to pass (and to edit out the first line and submit them to the GAGOP State Convention, pursuant to the Call, above):

• Resolution Encouraging the GAGOP State Convention to Ban Brad Raffensperger from Qualifying as a Republican (.doc)

Resolution Encouraging the GAGOP State Convention to Ban Jon Burns from Qualifying as a Republican

• Resolution Encouraging the GA GOP State Convention to Ban Anyone Making Races Non-Partisan from Qualifying as a Republican

• Resolution in Favor of the Anti-Corruption Act

Additionally, at the district conventions, the most important thing you can do is to ensure that no convention rules or agenda is passed (right toward the beginning of the convention) that do any of the following:

1. Prohibit or restrict the ability of people to run for office or to debate;
2. Increase the vote needed to or prohibit you from proposing resolutions or rules changes (it normally takes a majority vote);
3. Require a 2/3 vote for anything (Roberts Rules, which govern these meetings, already have a 2/3 requirement for things that need it: having a 2/3 vote for appealing decisions, making motions, or passing resolutions is designed to take away your rights as a delegate).

Make sure that ANY attempts to do this fail. When someone moves to adopt any convention rules, you’ll want to immediately stand up and state your opposition to them, point out it takes a 2/3 vote to pass any such convention rules, and immediately make a motion to amend the rules by striking each and every item in convention rules that do any of these things listed above. This is important even if you don’t want to run yourself, or you don’t have any resolutions.

Why? Because others in the crowd may not know what you know, and you should work to help make sure that “we the people”, not the Establishment, are in control.

Some districts have set deadlines (that you may or may not have known about) regarding when you can submit resolutions or nominations to run for office. Unlike at the state convention, where those deadlines cannot be easily voted down since they were part of the State GOP Convention call (above) which governs all conventions, you can easily do so at district conventions by voting against any such restrictions in the convention rules or the convention rules overall (because, again, it takes a 2/3 vote to pass such restrictive rules, and if the Chairman refuses to do a count, you can call out “Division!” and the chairman must count the votes)

You should definitely submit by any deadline if you can. But if you can’t, realize that your convention delegates (not some group who met ahead of time) have the power.

You’ll likely see committees, *appointed by the existing leadership*, telling you that certain resolutions, nominees, or rules are the only ones that should be considered. This is, again, designed to limit your rights. You are at these conventions to have your voice heard. If you’ve submitted any resolutions (or want to have them considered), make sure to get up and make a motion to make it happen. If you’re ever confused on what to do, you should stand up, be recognized by the chairman, and make a “Point of parliamentary inquiry” in order to ask how to accomplish whatever you are trying to achieve, be it nominating someone for office or having a resolution debated.

And while the resolutions linked above have not been endorsed by the GRA, you should definitely look for GRA members who may be able to help you with parliamentary procedures/motions in order to help achieve your goals.

Remember, if you are grassroots, you want to see people involved and having their voices heard. And you don’t want fearmongering by those in the political industry that try to discourage or dissuade you from being a leader to win out.

The Establishment falsely believes and states that you can drain the swamp by trying to get along with the swamp and not doing anything. We know, and we’ve seen it with President Trump, that bold action and rhetoric are both required in order to lead and to “drain the swamp”.

Thank you for your involvement in the convention cycle, and please be sure to forward this information to your friends.

LAST CALL To Run for Georgia GOP Office

LAST CALL To Run for Georgia GOP Office

The Georgia GOP is run by an executive committee that consists of numerous officers, most of whom are elected this year through the conventions.

If you wish to have your voice heard through the Republican Party, or to improve the party, you have a couple main options:

1. Run for Party Office – (LAST CHANCE!)

2. Resolutions

To run for state party office, today is the LAST DAY you can declare to do so. The convention call makes it very clear that if you want to run for State Chairman, First Vice Chairman, Second Vice Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary, Assistant Treasurer, or Assistant Secretary, you MUST submit a “notice of candidacy” and “a political resume” to the State Secretary of the Georgia GOP *before* 5:00 PM today, March 15, 2025. 

If you agree with basic Republican principles, which are held by the Georgia Republican Assembly (GRA), and want to see both politicians and those who run for party office held accountable to them, you should consider applying to join the GRA, and then attending our endorsing convention on May 10, 2025.

The GRA Convention is where YOUR opinion matters.

The GRA is the state chapter of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA), which both endorsed President Trump and is devoted to organizing and unifying truly principled grassroots Republicans to stop fake Republicans and hold politicians accountable. While the Establishment wants you to just follow after a candidate without knowing what they’ve done or will do, the GRA is devoted to making sure you have a clear report of everything going on, and that you can work together with and be coordinated with like-minded people from throughout the state. The GRA is the premier grassroots vehicle for having your voice heard, as all GRA endorsements are made by people like you, who actually care about getting the decision right, not following what paid political industry operatives tell you or by a small group of people.

GRA endorsed candidates are the best ones for the party and the only way we beat the Establishment and drain the swamp. You should be a part. And you should avoid listening to the attacks and fearmongering that people (often originating from the paid political industry) create for all levels of party office: if someone is trying to divide you in the elections for county, district, or state GOP offices, they are likely trying to manipulate you into a less than ideal outcome. Get involved in your local GRA chapter and refuse to commit support to people until the GRA has endorsed.

Regarding resolutions, the GAGOP passes resolutions that don’t seem to have an impact. That’s because certain people don’t want the party to do anything except follow after politicians, instead of holding them accountable to you. That’s why people are always in a rush to adjourn conventions instead of letting more business take place. You can fix that.

This year, don’t let them stop the grassroots. Vote against attempts to adjourn or shut down debate.

As county conventions approach, it’s vitally important that you make sure you both submit resolutions to various conventions, and get other likeminded people involved. Why? Because resolutions from the party can be actions that influence what happens (such as the recent decision by the State GOP to prohibit Geoff Duncan from qualifying as a Republican in the future), or create state the party’s opinion on important issues.

I will likely be submitting versions of the following resolutions to be considered at the state convention. These are personal projects. You can, if you agree with them, edit them and make sure to have similar versions adopted at your county and district conventions (there are .doc versions for you to edit):

1. Resolution Unifying the Party in Prohibiting Brad Raffensperger from Qualifying as a Republican (.doc) (.pdf); (Simplified Version Here)

2. Resolution Protecting the Party by Prohibiting Anyone Voting to Make Elections Non Partisan from Qualifying as a Republican(.doc)(.pdf);

3. Resolution Supporting Free Speech and Condemning Jon Burns; (See LINK/Story Here for Background) (.doc) (.pdf)

4. Resolution Supporting Delegate Control of GOP Branding (.doc) (.pdf).

You could even submit them to the state convention. Be sure to follow the deadlines and limitations in the Convention Call, which also governs rules changes AND declaring you’re running for state office.

Now more than ever, we need dedicated individuals like you to step up and make a difference. The GRA is a grassroots volunteer organization committed to empowering members and ensuring that our party stays true to its principles. We stand for transparency, accountability, and the power of “we the people.” I encourage you to join the GRA and be a part of this vital movement.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to Republican values. Together, we can build a stronger, more principled party that truly represents the voice of the people. Let’s continue to stand for truth, integrity, and the principles that make our party great.

The GRA:
You may hear about the GRA (www.GeorgiaRA.com), and often from Establishment people (i.e. people who see politics as something to serve the political industry/politicians, instead of instituting good principled policies that help “we the people”.) They will fail to mention that the GRA is the “Republican Wing of the Republican Party”, part of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies which is also a volunteer grassroots group that started many, many years ago. They will also fail to mention that the GRA members are the principled, grassroots people who are trying to have the party do the things that politicians are constantly promising to the public.

Thank you for all you do to advance the Republican brand and values. If you are in favor of improving the party for the grassroots and working together to do it and to get fake Republicans and the paid political industry out of grassroots politics, I encourage you to look into the Georgia Republican Assembly (GRA), a state affiliate of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies, and apply to join here (www.GeorgiaRA.com) if you agree with our principles.

Make Your Voice Heard: Resolutions That Matter

Make Your Voice Heard: Resolutions That Matter

Year after year, the GAGOP passes resolutions that don’t seem to have an impact. That’s because certain people don’t want the party to do anything except follow after politicians, instead of holding them accountable to you. That’s why people are always in a rush to adjourn conventions instead of letting more business take place. You can fix that.

This year, don’t let them stop the grassroots. Vote against attempts to adjourn or shut down debate.

As county conventions approach, it’s vitally important that you make sure you both submit resolutions to various conventions, and get other likeminded people involved. Why? Because resolutions from the party can be actions that influence what happens (such as the recent decision by the State GOP to prohibit Geoff Duncan from qualifying as a Republican in the future), or create state the party’s opinion on important issues.

4. Resolution Supporting Delegate Control of GOP Branding (.doc) (.pdf).

You could even submit them to the state convention. Be sure to follow the deadlines and limitations in the Convention Call, which also governs rules changes AND declaring you’re running for state office.

It is great news that GAGOP has already taken their constitutionally authorized step to prohibit fake Republican/RINO former Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan, from running as a Republican in Georgia.

As I mentioned in the last message, we have a GAGOP Convention Cycle this year. This is where voters like you attend the GAGOP Precinct Meetings, County Conventions, District Conventions, and the State Convention to (1) pass motions (resolutions) regarding party actions; (2) elect delegates to other conventions; (3) elect party officers; (4) pass party rules. 

Your participation is vital. People who make their careers off politics or the “paid political industry” (such as lobbyists, political consultants, etc.) sometimes show up and try to persuade people to elect “nice” people who refuse to hold politicians accountable to our state party platform/principles.

It is vitally important you be involved, as you do not want Establishment/Paid Political Industry sycophants running the Georgia GOP. If you look at past messages, going back years, you can see the history of the GAGOP and the results of having people who refuse to stand for principle, versus the improvements we’ve had since 2019, though there is much to be done.

You need two things before the state convention: (1) get good information on who is running for various offices; (2) training/knowledge on how to use Roberts Rules of Order so you can have your voice heard and participate effectively in the convention process.

The Convention Call is attached, which has DEADLINES for submission of Resolutions, Rules, and Candidacy for office. Read this carefully and follow it if you wish to have the party take any actions (Resolutions), change party Rules, or to run for party office.

For the information, we encourage you to not lose credibility by making or supporting candidates for party office until later in the cycle. The Georgia Republican Assembly (“GRA”), consisting of principled grassroots Republicans like you (and you are welcome to apply to join at www.GeorgiaRA.com), holds a convention for our members (who are actual principled grassroots Republicans) to choose who to endorse with at least a 2/3 vote of those members.

This is after the GRA has a team that puts out a report on the candidates, including information from their history, answers to questionnaires, and other information. You can see previous reports on the GRA website (www.GeorgiaRA.com). 

We encourage you to not lose your freedom by getting into a divided candidate fight without all of the information. The GRA Endorsing Convention will be held this year on May 10, 2025 (with local endorsing conventions for local offices prior to that), and we encourage you to wait in supporting candidates for State GOP office until after all candidates have declared and the GRA endorsing convention has concluded.

The way the GOP Establishment takes back control of the GOP is by dividing grassroots anti-Establishment Republicans against each other, including by falsely advertising who they are. It is up to us to stop them.

Now more than ever, we need dedicated individuals like you to step up and make a difference. The GRA (www.GeorgiaRA.com) is a grassroots volunteer organization committed to empowering members and ensuring that our party stays true to its principles. We stand for transparency, accountability, and the power of “we the people.” I encourage you to join the GRA and be a part of this vital movement.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to Republican values. Together, we can build a stronger, more principled party that truly represents the voice of the people. Let’s continue to stand for truth, integrity, and the principles that make our party great.

Senator Colton Moore Banned by Speaker Burns After Speaking the Truth about Ralston

Senator Colton Moore Banned by Speaker Burns After Speaking the Truth about Ralston

You may recall that our GRA-endorsed State Senator Colton Moore (R-53) was the only Senator calling for a special session to get rid of Fulton Democrat DA Fani Willis. He proposed a bill to change the RICO law to end the Fulton prosecutions. And as a reward for it, he was kicked out of the Republican caucus by our “Republican” politicians. 

And just this week, on Legislative Day 35, during a debate to name a government building after the late Former House Speaker, David Ralston, Sen. Moore had this to say

Click here to watch Senator Colton Moore’s speech.

Note that Sen. Moore was pointing out information, and didn’t even delve into the anti-Republican tactics used throughout the years that were discussed in past Advance the GOP messages.

The response from the Establishment was, again, excessive.

Immediately leaked to the liberal media and banning him from the House floor with articles lacking details. And then the Establishment politicians, many of whom had previously feared Ralston, continue to hypocritically sing his praises.

And then the Establishment, throughout social media, push the shaming narrative that it wasn’t “the time and place” for a Senator to bring up the reasons to NOT name a government building after a politician, during the debate on naming the building after the politician.

See video of Georgia Speaker Jon Burns banning Sen. Moore from the House chamber.

The hypocrisy and lies are mind-blowing.

Yet they keep happening. Over and over again.

Why?

YOU – YOU ARE THE PROBLEM – AND SOLUTION

I know you don’t want to be the problem. I didn’t want to be either. But the reason why the Establishment keeps doing this, and getting away with it, is because we don’t stand up. We don’t share this information.

We don’t have the time. Or we’re afraid it’ll offend our neighbors and friends. Or we’re afraid that all the politicians will come after us.

The Establishment tries to keep us afraid.

Like they did with the Catoosa GOP.

Like they are doing with Sen. Colton Moore.

Do Something Now: End Trump’s Prosecution & Create Accountability

Do Something Now: End Trump’s Prosecution & Create Accountability

Don’t believe the lies and excuses from alleged “elected leaders,” the political prosecutions by Fani Willis of President Trump, former GAGOP Chairman David Shafer, and many others can be ended immediately. Not in years, not in months, but this week. But only with immediate action: take two minutes to make these crucial calls to ensure “Republican” officials fulfill their promises to voters and to the Republican Party.

Living in a “Republican” state, voters should be able to presume that those in elected office are going to act like Republicans. Sadly, the only way this is going to happen is by (1) you sharing this message with others and (2) taking a few simple actions to push your elected representatives to actually act like Republicans.

The first way to do this is by making sure this bill, S.B. 416which we’re calling the “Stop Political Prosecutions Act,”gets passed. It is a simple bill that would change the RICO law in Georgia to immediately end the current Fani Willis prosecution of Trump and other Republicans here in Georgia.

No longer would the GAGOP be paying out tons of money in legal fees. This would put an end to politically motivated prosecutions in our state. It would be over. Immediately. Ending the stress and torture of past GAGOP Chairman David Shafer, President Trump, and all of the others. 

This is so important that any elected official not signing on to this needs to get a primary challenger who can run a really simple campaign: “I would vote to end the prosecution of Republicans, and the incumbent failed to do so.”

Currently, the only two people currently showing themselves in the State Senate to be Republicans are GRA-endorsed Sen. Colton Moore (for initiating this bill), and Sen. Brandon Beach for co-sponsoring it. Call them and thank them: they deserve praise for doing the right thing. All of the others? Not so much. But there’s still time for them to change their mind, which will only happen with your help.

First, please call the Senate Majority Leader Steve Gooch (cell: 706-300-6568) (as well as your own local representatives) and tell him that you want him to get S.B. 416, the “Stop Political Prosecutions Act,” passed immediately. Be respectful. But be firm. He works for you. The legislature has the authority to do this, as they are the legislative branch of government, and they write the laws that govern the judicial system. And the bill would undoubtedly be effective to end the prosecutions. As the Majority Leader, Steve Gooch has the direct authority to expedite the passage of this bill: all of the committee chairs and others that typically give excuses follow his lead.

And as we’ve discussed before, the “Prosecutorial Commission” they are trying to use as cover to mislead the voters into thinking they are doing something about the prosecutions is, sadly, being talked about solely to intentionally mislead voters. The commission already stated that they weren’t going to consider past conduct, and it would actually likely be unconstitutional if they tried to. The *only* way being considered that Republicans can immediately stop these prosecutions is by passing S.B. 416, and the only reason they’ll do so is if you make it clear to them that you will field primary challengers against anyone who doesn’t support the bill. If they aren’t going to use their office to fix the problem, why even have them there?

Second, you can make sure that Sen. John Kennedy (R-Macon) knows that while he continues to keep Republican Sen. Colton Moore out of the Republican caucus, and tells people to “respect the judiciary” allowing the prosecution of President Trump to continue, that you expect him to stop playing those political games and for him to do his job by starting to act like an actual Republican by getting S.B. 416 passed, as well as by letting Sen. Moore back into the Republican caucus. (You can see how they kicked him out in past messages.)

Third and finally, engage in this year’s GAGOP convention cycle to ensure our principles are upheld. It’s essential to participate, and we encourage newcomers by offering training in convention procedures and Robert’s Rules of Order

We need to be involved in order to effectively have the GAGOP put pressure on (and potentially not qualify for office) candidates that fail to live up to Republican principles. While it can be intimidating for newcomers, that’s why it’s important to invite as many Republicans as possible to come, and also make sure to invite them to convention/Roberts Rules of Order training so that they can have an impact. GRA officers have regularly helped host these trainings around the state last year, and will be working to do so again this year.

Personally, I will be involved at trainings at two county GOPs in the coming weeks to help get people ready, and you (and other Republicans) are invited. The first was tonight, starting at 7 PM, in DeKalb County. The second will be in Cobb County this Wednesday, February 7th, at 6 PM. Details are here.

If you would like to have any such trainings for your group or local GOP, please let us know.

We must work together. And we must defeat the Establishment. If we fail now, and people get discouraged and are not involved in their county parties or next year’s convention cycle, the opportunity will not come again.

Revitalize Georgia’s GOP: Stand with Us Against the Establishment!

Revitalize Georgia’s GOP: Stand with Us Against the Establishment!

Donald Trump was elected President because people are sick and tired of lying, selfish politicians that sell out the country for their own advancement and the love of their paid political industry/lobbyist friends.

That is why the Democrat DA Fani Willis is prosecuting him and other Republicans in Fulton County, and it’s also why the National Federation of Republican Assemblies has endorsed him for re-election at our October Convention in Orlando, Florida. 

It’s also why these Establishment people are refusing to do what’s necessary to end the prosecutions, and kicked out Senator Colton Moore instead of standing behind him to hold Willis accountable. But this isn’t unexpected.

It was just in 2017 that the Georgia GOP elected a lobbyist as party Chairman, who donated to Democrats. Even today, a GAGOP district chairman exists who is a paid lobbyist who had donated money to Democrats. It was only after 2019 that the Georgia GOP instituted a state party platform: throughout much of 2013-2019, the Georgia GOP refused to take a stand on any issue, allowing spineless alleged Republicans to do things like expand Obamacare with impunity, or to raise taxes.

If the branding of Republicanism is this terrible, is it any surprise that we look so weak publicly? As we’ve been pushing for years, if the GAGOP doesn’t maintain its brand, we will lose elections. The Establishment, instead of trying to secure and thereby increase trust in our elections, regularly tries to suppress the election integrity movement.

But there’s good news: the Establishment is losing, and with your help, we’re going to end their control over Georgia elected officials and public policy.

As we pointed out before, the Republican Party has the power to maintain its brand. Under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, we have freedom of association: meaning that the Republican Party cannot be forced by the government, or anyone else, to qualify certain candidates for office.

The Accountability Rule is going into operation in local GOP county organizations around the state.

The Establishment doesn’t want you to know this, dislikes it, and, frankly, has probably forgotten about it. They love contested primaries where they can just convince the public that their America-Last, sellout candidates are the “best” by raising and spending millions of dollars from corporate interests. They will never want to prevent figures like Obama, Pelosi, or other actual Democrats from running on the Republican ballot because they benefit financially from such conflicts. They don’t care who wins, as long as they get paid and their clients are happy.

But the grassroots, anti-Establishment people understand the issue: it is virtually impossible to beat people raising $500,000+ for a job that pays $20,000/yr, funded fully by interests looking to make money off the government. People like Liz Cheney and Brad Raffensperger will happily destroy our party’s reputation and brand while ignoring the grassroots.

This ends when the Republican Party, through your involvement, simply votes in the party to not let them run as Republicans.

Last year, we proposed a GAGOP rules change that would prohibit anyone other than convention delegates and county parties from refusing to qualify fake Republicans for office. This measure was never brought up for a vote.

But the power of the GAGOP, and its local parties, to simply not allow people to qualify for party office who do not meet your very basic standards remained unchanged.
