My Reaction: California Republican Assembly

Posted by Dana Walsh - Tue, March 09, 2010 at 11:18 AM

The California Republican Assembly Convention last weekend gave me a great opportunity to meet one-on-one with the Party faithful.

My goal was to introduce myself to as many attendees as I could; as important as it is to get our message out, it is every bit as important to listen.  Citizens want to be heard and I was given plenty of ideas to think about and information to review.  

The message that ‘Nancy Pelosi Must Go” was a common theme.  The strong-arm tactics employed by Pelosi were certainly discussed, but the bigger issue was that Health Care Reform – as presented in the current legislation – is totally unacceptable. And there was the recognition that this is just one battle in the war against big government.  Equally dreadful legislation on Cap and Trade, Immigration Reform and The Fairness Doctrine are next on the Democrat Agenda.   

My remarks at the after-dinner event on Saturday night were well received and brought us additional endorsements and volunteers. I’m looking forward to the CRP Convention this weekend and plan to build on the momentum created at the CRA. Hope to see you there!
