RNC Women

This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending a send-off party for our fantastic volunteers working to elect Republicans in next month's off-year elections. These are the people — probably just like you— who give so much of their time going door-to-door and calling their neighbors to help us elect Republicans.

I said words of encouragement to let them know they are making a real difference, that what they are doing matters, but I'm afraid my words could never match the way they inspire me.

These volunteers gave me a tremendous sense of energy.  They showed me once again that the tide has turned.  They showed me that we are winning in the battle of ideas.  I've seen this same electricity every time I've had the opportunity to get outside the Washington beltway.

Working with these volunteers made me feel at home.  All of us, from volunteers on the ground, to the folks working at RNC Headquarters, are in this together.  I mean that.

Chairman Steele has made it clear that this online property was built for you and belongs to you.  It's up to you - the lifeblood of our party - to use it to bring that same passion, energy and enthusiasm I saw in those volunteers back to your home states.

The Chairman and I intend to spend as much time as possible on OurGOP:The Republican Action Network and RNCWomen.com. I promise it won't be a one-way conversation.  I admit freely to needing to feel that energy from you.

Seeing our volunteers organize a registration drive or canvass a neighborhood gives me the fuel to keep working every day for the ideals on which our party was founded.

Online communication will never replace the feeling of shaking your hands and thanking you, but it is the very best way for us to regularly visit and exchange ideas. I hope you’ll join me on OurGOP, and continue to lend me your ideas, your passion and your energy.

Thank you!
