It has been my pleasure to contribute in building a North Carolina Conservative ‘SOCIAL ISSUES’ first Republican Party for nearly 50 years.
In 1980 and 1984, GOP nominee Ronald Reagan won the General Election and re-election, respectively, while winning the hearts of America by placing ‘SOCIAL ISSUES’ first.
NC had the Honor of having Sen. Jesse Helms to practice ‘SOCIAL ISSUES’ first for 30 years. Many state and local governments have now switched from Democrat to Republican controlled governments.
‘SOCIAL VALUES’ are now retreating.
Our Republican National Committee (RNC), Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker John Boehner, and others are ignoring and/or rejecting the GOP Platform as they have joined the Chamber of Commerce in building their PAC ‘FISCAL ISSUES’ with GOP CASH; to spend destructively and immorally defeat outstanding Conservative TEA Party Republican Party candidates. These ‘MAIN-STREAM’ Republicans CRITICIZE, DISCREDIT, MISREPRESENT, and even LIE to defeat SUPERIOR Conservative TEA Party Republican candidates in primaries across the entire USA.
Washington based Main-stream Republicans are ignoring the GOP Platform on ‘SOCIAL ISSUES’ first. It is difficult for Conservative Republicans to support ‘MAIN-STREAM’ Republican nominees who have unjustly misrepresented EXCEPTIONAL Conservative TEA Party Republican candidates.
TEA Party’s CORE PRINCIPALS are RIGHT on the ISSUES; Budget & Economy, Civil Rights, Corporations, Crime, Drugs, Education, Energy & Oil, Environment, Families & Children, Foreign Policy, Free Trade, and Government Reform. http://www.ontheissues.org/Tea_Party.htm#Education
Washington’s GOP leaders and many ‘MAIN-STREAM’ GOP CANDIDATES are WRONG on several issues. To win, God’s HOLY BIBLE Commandments and values MUST COME FIRST.

Changing of the GOP by joining in with the Chamber of Commerce and ignoring the ‘SOCIAL’ issues.
By Oscar Y. Harward
It is all about the MONEY. For many, many years, the US Chamber of Commerce has supported an overwhelming majority of Republicans. This year and for the next few years, the policy is to delay, ignore, or reject the GOP’s Political Platform on ‘SOCIAL’ issues. It appears this year, a newer Chamber of Commerce leadership chooses a more left-of-center political policies; just right of President Obama.
My own NC GOP Senatorial nominee said during a debate, GOP nominees should not take our Christian values, as our Founding Fathers did, to Capitol Hill. My ‘FRIENDS’, President Ronald Reagan, Sen. Jesse Helms, and many others all carried ours and their ‘SOCIAL’ issue policies to Capitol Hill.
The GOP and this election is changing! As for me, the RNC Chairman, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker John Boehner, and their co-leaders on Capitol Hill have opted to join in with an old friend, the US Chamber of Commerce to welcome ‘ALL’ illegal immigration; a plan that I believe will lead to ‘AMNESTY’. There are also other issues to forget.
While Speaker Boehner asked the House to vote on Lois Lerner for Contempt of Congress, Speaker did not even follow-up to ENFORCE the law. The vote was 231 to 187 held for Contempt of Congress. 225 Republicans voted ‘YEA’, 0 voted ‘NAY’, with 7 ‘NO VOTES’. 6 Democrats voted ‘YEA’, 187 voted ‘NAY’, and 6 were ‘NO VOTES’. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2014/roll203.xml
With an exploding National Debt now exceeding $17.6 Trillion, President Obama has not spent $1 that a House Majority under Speaker Boehner did not approve. Had the GOP House majority cracked down on President Obama several years ago, and shut down our government, the Democrat Majority Democrat would have been forced to ‘STOP-THE-SPENDING’. http://www.usdebtclock.org/
Since the 2009 Presidential inauguration, our Nation Debt is now up by more than $7 Trillion; ADDING A PERSONAL DEBT to every individual American by some $53,330; again as added onto our National Debt. (Based on a US population of 318,766,064).
President Obama, Seniority Majority Leader Harry Reid, almost all Capitol Hill Democrats, many Capitol Hill Republicans are joining in for open ‘illegal’ immigration into the USA. Most will now say, “SEAL THE BORDER”; however, for many it is only a reverse on their earlier positioning.
Democrats know most of these ‘illegal’ immigrants will end up registering and voting Democrat. Many Republicans believe these will switch over to Republicans. I will believe it when a majority of the NAACP will ask minorities to register and vote Republican; and they do it.
