Now What?

Now that November 2nd seems like a mile away, what does the MASS GOP do?  State Committeeman Bill McCarthy has called for Jennifer Nassour, Chair of the MASS GOP, to resign and will bring a vote to the floor at the next State Committee meeting to oust her. 

We support that. 

We support that because the focus has never been on grass roots party building as the Chair promised in her campaign for the top spot.  What's amazing to me is that the MASS GOP leaders and State Committee members (most not all) can't or don't see the error of their ways.

What the Massachusetts Republican party needs right now is a compass.  Who are we?  What do we stand for?  Where do we want to go?  Without a compass, we'll get somewhere, and most likely it won't be where we want to be.

What separates Republicans from Democrats?  What do we offer those that are un-enrolled to become a Republican?

We need a leader of this party OUTSIDE of Route 128 who has been in the trenches and understands what our party faithful EXPECTS of it's leaders.  We need a leader who isn't concerned about getting a job in the next administration, and highlights the Republican candidates in their emails instead of themselves.

We need a party leader who is NOT AFRAID to speak to the issues that are affecting our economic demise in Massachusetts and beyond.  We need a party leader that understands that our social programs in Massachusetts drive taxes and fiscal policies.  We need a leader of our party that understands the affect on local budgets of unfunded mandates and the havoc that it wreaks on our cities and towns.

We need a leader who understands that our party has a moral, social, and economic compass and that our goal is to help those less fortunate by helping to get elected, those that share the same beliefs.

We need a compass.  And we need it now!
