Call for an Open Primary

Republicans are champions of the free market philosophy. It is the basic building block of all the policy proposals we advocate for.

Competition in health care.
Competition in education.
Competition in energy production.

We know that a small group of experts cannot possibly match the wisdom of the free market.

But when it comes to our own primaries, we become Democrats. We allow a select few “experts” to pick our nominee.

Who can raise money? Who can mount a grassroots campaign? Who can connect with voters? Who can craft a winning message and put in place an organization to effectively win a campaign?

There is only one way to get the best candidate to beat Patrick Murphy. Competition.

Please join me in supporting an Open Primary for the 8th Congressional election this May.

ACTION STEPS:

If you are a candidate;

Will you represent conservative principles in Washington or will you sacrifice those principles when called on to do so by the Party bosses? By taking the following pledge, your principles will be clear;

1. I will run a campaign in the 2010 primary election that allow the Republican voters of the 8th Congressional District to decide whether I will run against Patrick Murphy in the fall election.

2. I will make myself available to the County Committee during the screening process, but will insist all of my supporters vote for an Open Primary during the Endorsement Process.

If you are a committee person;

1. Contact me at (dan.mohn@verizon.net) and pledge to vote for an Open Primary.

2. Contact the County leadership committee and insist that an Open Primary option be included on the endorsement ballot.

If you are an interested 3rd party organization;

1. Contact the County leadership committee and insist that an Open Primary option be included on the endorsement ballot.

2. Contact the Candidates and let them know your support will NOT be contingent upon them receiving the Party’s endorsement.
