We believe it's time to restore sanity to the discussion about conservatives and what it means to be Republican. It's time to give voice to the silent majority.
We believe that political discussions should be encouraged at the dinner table, not shunned. The elephant in the room should be embraced, not avoided.
We believe that Republican Red sparks important conversations. Sharing our genuine shades of red is how we unite the Republican Party and bring undecided voters to the right side!
Over the course of two nights this Fall, September 9 - 10, Republicans from all over our great nation convened in Dallas, Texas for a clear purpose: To support the outstanding slate of GOP candidates running in the midterm elections this Fall, and articulated exactly what Republicans have done and will continue to do to strive for what our Founding Fathers fought for 250 years ago—a more perfect union. Janet Price and other members of GSRW, aligned through the independent Republican groups throughout California, shared in the excitement and camaraderie displayed nationally through most of the media.
