The Five Key Reasons
Although the reasons why true conservatives should leave the RNC are manifold,
they can all be condensed and represented within these five Key Reasons.  
"Come Home America"
Reason 1: The Republican Party Has Lost Its Core Values  

No one would have ever imagined that a Republican controlled Congress
led by a Republican President could have ever outspent any
modern era
Democrat administration by fourfold in non-defence spending. During the
past eight years the Republicans have: doubled the national debt; allowed
Earmarks to explode; increased the budget deficit each year; let the trade
deficit triple; seen more of our membership indicted or jailed for
corruption than the previous 10 years combined; allowed illegal
immigration to explode; failed to protect and defend US borders.  In
addition, Republicans have never filibustered or vetoed any spending bill
no matter how pork-lade
n; failed to curb abortion-on-demand or late-term
abortions; overseen rising national drug use; allowed the liberal media set
our agenda and pick our candidates (John McCain); stood by while the
homosexual agenda gained strength; and let school prayer and private
school vouchers get squashed.  
Reason 2: Republicans Lack Real Leadership or Vision

While giving credit for enacting the Bush tax cut, Republicans have not promulgated any far-
reaching, bold or visionary legislative initiatives since the Newt Gingridge
Contract For America.
Nothing new about reducing America’s dependency on foreign oil (“Drill baby drill” is not an energy
policy) or growing our renewable energy infrastructure. Nothing on stopping illegal immigration
(Where is Tom Trancedo now?). Nothing on solving the growing health care problem. Nothing on
improving education except for No Child Left Behind....a Ted Kennedy bill.  At the risk of sounding
like a New York Times editorial, we Republicans have become risk averse and provincial.

Question: What current Republican politician really excites or motivates conservatives? John
McCain?  His time has come and gone.  Sarah Palin?  No gravitas...yet. Fred Thompson? Too tired.
Mitt Romney? Maybe. But we have more Republicans in jail on corruption charges than ready to step
up and lead Republicans to victory let alone Conservatives.  We certainly don’t have anyone ready to
challenge the Messiah, Barack Obama.   

While Reasons 1 and 2 outline a partial litany of valid reasons why Conservatives should leave the
RNC, Reasons 3 – 5 provide the rationale for creating the CPUS.

Reason 3: CPUS Will Provide a Genuine and Unambiguous Conservative Platform

No matter what the main stream media, Arlen Specter and Colin Powell tell you, candidates who
adhere to a solid conservative platform can – and do – win elections.  John McCain lost for a myriad
of reasons not the least of which was failing to energize the Conservative base.  Even Sarah Palin’s
pretty skirts couldn’t hide McCain’s long, less-than-conservative voting record (against the Bush tax
cuts; McCain-Feingold; Amnesty for illegals, etc.).

CPUS will appeal to a large, solid base of energized (and loyal) conservative voters because it will
finally give voice to their long-held aspirations. Make no mistake, most Americans are actually
conservative. Conservatives can then present a clear, genuine and robust agenda without regard to
media musings and all those squishy RINO’s. God love ‘em but conservative Republicans (both of
them) just don’t have the spine to withstand the negative media assaults or lack of RNC support.

A clear, common sense platform built on an unshakable conservative foundation will become a
powerful political entity fully capable of withstanding the liberal whirlwinds racing across America
today. “Build it and they will come.” In droves. Especially after a few years of the über Liberal
Obama administration has the chance to shows its true colors.

Reason 4: CPUS Won’t Marginalize Conservatives

The RNC has historically marginalized conservatives during election cycles and just flat out ignored
them between in the off years.  It is unconscionable that John McCain, the Republican Party nominee
for President of these here United States, supported giving amnesty, health care, SSN numbers and
drivers licenses to illegal aliens. It is incredible that, until his last year, the current Republican
President never vetoed any of the pork-laden budgets most of which were crafted by a GOP
Congress.

Conservatives are required to compromise, suppress or conceal their principles to remain part of the
Republican Party. They are forced go along to get along to appeal to that mythical “Big Tent”. Sadly,
that Tent is now swarming with snakes (Liberal media), RINO’s (Moderate Republicans), donkeys
(Democrats), coyotes (Illegal alien jockeys) and marshmallows (Independents).  Instead of a
politically harmonized party led by strong GOP elephants, the RNC has devolved into a weak,
ineffective horde that looks like the bar scene crowd in the first Star Wars movie.  

The CPUS will stop all this nonsense by building a local, regional and national support base for
conservatives.  We will no longer be ignored, kept at arms length, held hostage or taken for granted
by the RNC.  Most importantly, however, CPUS will create a legitimate and politically viable
alternative to the RNC.  And that’s the KEY point in this whole movement.   

The four Reasons shown above illustrate why Conservatives should disown the rudderless and soft
Republicans and made the case for creating the CPUS. Reason five is logical conclusion that bundles
them into a unified concept.

Reason 5: CPUS will exert a much needed rightward pull on the body politic.

CPUS gives conservatives a strong political support base (Party) that allows them to formulate
genuine conservative agendas and to articulate their views to the American people without
reservation.  

CPUS then creates the political environment that will encourage members to run for elected office
and populate the halls of State legislators and the US Congress. It won’t win in anything in Berkeley
or Hollywood but will be very powerful in other parts of California, most of Texas, Utah, Oklahoma,
Nebraska, Georgia and hundreds of county seats in the rest of America’s fruited plains.  One voter,
one county, one Representative, one Senator....at a time

Conservatives must change their mindset which wrongly assumes that gaining a majority is the only
way to “win”.  While CPUS won’t necessarily garner majorities in any State or US Congress - at first
- it will gradually begin to exert a strong, constant rightward pull on America’s political landscape.
Not only will CPUS gradually become strong center of gravity on its own, it will also - irony of
ironies - make the Republican Party better (See Reason 4).  

At long last conservatives will be able to stand tall, hold their heads high and give unwavering voice
their agenda and build a strong, durable conservative platform.
While those are just a few of the most glaring examples of systemic Republican failures, the trend
line clearly points to more of the same. We have set aside our core conservative values of limited
government ($B bailouts), fiscal responsibility (Record deficits and Earmarks) and traditional family
values (If explanations are needed you would not understand anyway).  Republicans have not given
full-throated voice to conservative principles in the interest of expanding the “big tent”, appeasing the
media and trying to “reach across the aisle” to work with liberal Democrats who have no intention of
returning such goodwill.  As demonstrated by the past three elections, people who stand in the middle
of the road only get one thing - run over
