Dun, Dun – If Only The GOP Harassed Elected Members This Way!

image Email, snail mail, phone – the GOP continues to hound the very same people whose opinions they rejected during Primary Season for “Membership Dues”.

The GOP has no sense of self-awareness, and is completely oblivious to the fact that we, the grassroots, consider membership and dues to be voluntary and optional, and the Party is not ENTITLED to them, but rather has to earn them by being a superior organization for electing steadfast advocates for the party platform to state and national office.

rinoSince the GOP has proven itself INFERIOR as an organization for electing conservatives to office, we are sending our money elsewhere, and so the Party has resorted to sending envelopes emblazoned “PAST DUE”, without realizing that such crass behavior makes the former members LESS likely to donate – and note that well – DONATE – in other words, monies given freely and voluntarily, not OWED.

If the party were to harass those elected representatives who did not follow the platform, and to withdraw party membership from the ones who did not “straighten up and fly right”, then it would be more likely to get a sympathetic hearing from the base when asking “where’s your membership dues?” Nah – that’ll never happen!

StarkDear GOP, you are not a UNION, and you are not the IRS – nobody OWES you anything, so start EARNING the trust and money of your erstwhile members, while you still have some. Or might the GOP, especially the NHGOP be facing a STARK future?
