Volunteer Activists Comprise the SDGOP Central Commitee

Why is it important to elect strong volunteers to the San Diego Republican Party Central Committee?

ANSWER:  We reject top-down governance in Washington and Sacramento.  Why would we stand for it in the San Diego Republican Party?  The Central Committee is comprised of volunteer activists, who represent the registered Republican voters in each Assembly District.  The job of the Committee is to:

• register more Republican voters in San Diego County
• raise money for issues and candidiates
• recruit good candidiates for public office
• endorse and promote those endorsed candidiates

That's a pretty straightforward mission statement.  Sometimes, elected officials try to keep the volunteer activists from performing their duty.  Today, on SDRostra.com, I requested that three of them stop intervening: 

Yesterday, an email was sent from “The Coalition to Retire Filner”, signed by State Senators Joel Anderson and Mark Wyland, and Assemblyman Brian Jones.  It dreams the dream Erica Holloway had about two Republican mayoral candidates in a runoff.  The “Coalition” makes an impassioned plea to the volunteer Republican Central Committee members:

“In order to establish and maintain that focus, we have come together to urge the Republican Party of San Diego County to refrain from forcing an endorsement in this race that will divide many of our most loyal and dedicated supporters, but instead to unify and focus on defeating Democrat Bob Filner in the primary.”

Why would three guys, who don’t even live in the City of San Diego, ask the volunteers to cancel an endorsement vote?  To answer that question, first ask “Cui Bono? ”

Read the whole article over on SDRostra.  Should you vote for me, in the 78th Assembly District, I'll continue to remind the politicians that the SDGOP is a bottom-up, grass roots organaization.

I haven't approached this subject like that before. I will look at it differently in the future. Thanks =)
