Elections

Dear Fellow Republican,

 

As the presidential primary season approaches, I wanted to make sure you have an accurate look at all of the changing primary and caucus dates.  Below is a schedule of when individual state primaries and caucuses will be held, with the delegates being determined by each State.

 

Our competitive nomination process has ignited a healthy national discussion on basic constitutional issues, such as the size, scope, and reach of the federal government. 

 

The topics of the free market, government limits, and  fundamental tax policy changes are now the driving issues on the public agenda.  Whomever the nominee is, our primary system will ensure that they have the best possible chance to defeat Barack Obama in November. 

 

It is time to get the Nation's fiscal house in order, and it starts with the primaries, where Republican issues are becoming the dominant American issues.
