Well, it looks like things are getting well underway, the
convention is set up to happen, the preparations for
discussion of the official agenda items for the convention
are at hand, and we seem to be pretty much ready to go...
Therefore, I have an important announcement to make...
In the past two years that I have been National
Chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus, I believe that we
have made great strides to restoring the organization
to what it was before our internal conflicts, and I believe
we have also come a good deal further as well. The
organization is now much more decentralized, and individual
state organizations are being built that will become the
future of the organization in our efforts to bring the small
government message to each state, to find activists in every
city, and to be striving for liberty in every precinct in
this nation. We must continue to nurture our growing local
RLC efforts...
It is now time to develop new approaches to building
a national organization that will support and guide the
growth of our local chapters. It is my sincere hope that the
Republican Liberty Caucus will never again be destructively
focused on single personalities as it almost became in the
past. We must focus on the real prize, and we must focus on
the issues that matter to us. It will also take a new
captain at the helm of this great ship as we move into a new
phase of our growth. In the past two years I feel that
I have helped steer us away from the rocks that we were
heading for, and I have worked to encourage unity. However,
throughout my term as chair, little would have been possible
without the constant efforts of Bill Westmiller, who has
officially been the organization's National Secretary, but
unofficially he has been involved heavily in every part of
the organization. And as we move into the next stage of this
organization's growth, it is obvious that Bill's work over
the past years shows that he is the best choice to lead for
the next two years.
Therefore, as we prepare for the upcoming convention
where we will vote on the future of the RLC, I would like to
ask everyone to get behind Bill Westmiller and help him put
together a team that will continue to expand the RLC and
continue to fight for liberty.
I am happy to personally support Bill Westmiller to
be the next National Chairman of the Republican Liberty
Caucus.
