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.

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.

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 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.
