Becoming the Party of YES

Dear Friends:

What will it take to become the Party of Yes. Here are just a few of my suggestions:

1) The party elections are over. Now is the time to unify our efforts. We can and have to do this.

2) Remember to forgive others as you have been forgiven. We must do this for it is written.

3) Support each other in ways never done before. We will only be as strong as the weakest link.

4) Embrace each other's uniqueness. If there are two of the same in the room, one of us is not
needed.

5) Remember our children and grandchildren are watching us. Lead by Example

6) We become the transparent organization we demand of government. Our creditability is at stake

7) Identify, recruit and support those we ask to run for office. They are our present and future.

8) Don't limit your vision based on past experiences. The world is changing too fast for that.

9) Spend more time offering and working on the solutions. We already know the problems.

Becoming the Party of YES, requires the above and much more. Let us decide individually, we will commit to embracing, accepting and promoting this across the state.

YES, we are proud to call ourselves Republicans because we offer something better for all citizens not just a select few.

YES, we believe our country is better off when we embrace our American values fully and without an apology.

YES, we have a proud history built on principles that has withstood the test of time.

YES, we know there are brighter days ahead and want nothing less than the best.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am asking you today to think about tomorrow instead of overly
romancing about yesterday. The past is gone and tomorrow is still unknown. Together, we can be successful for the foreseeable future. Let us not continue to spend precious time reminiscing about the past. Our future is too important! Transparency in government starts with us.

Becoming the party of YES starts with each one of us and from the inside out.
