First things first!

RNC Chairman

Ken Mehlmen is stepping down. The name Steele has been put out there. Anyone else and who is in charge of appointing this position or is it put to vote? Can we have an influence in who gets this position? I suggest it's someone who isn't associated with this administration because they will be gone in 2008 and we do not need their influence anymore when they won't be here to face the consequences.

Second

Congressional leadership

Pence and Shadegg are running for leadership positions. We must push as hard as we can to see that new people or people who have stayed true to conservatism get these positions.
When do they hold the vote for these positions?
When would be the best time for us to contact our representatives to show them we support electing these people to these positions?

Candidates for POTUS '08

I suggest we put as much of our weight as possible behind conservatives who actually stand a chance of getting through the primaries. Star names aren't gonna kick it like Guilliani and McCain unless you like reviving the Perot vote of '92/'96 and thus giving the WH to Dems at 40% of the vote.

Here are some names for you all to think about.

Mitt Romney, Gov Massachusettes
(little iffy, I've heard he flip flops on the issues depending on where he's running)

Mark Sanford, Gov South Carolina
(the guy I've been stumping for here on FR the last couple days http://www.petitiononline.com/msan2008/petition.html)
Someone trolled the petition but I'm trying to get ahold of the guy to remove the offensive signature >_<

Rick Santorum
(yes he lost in PA but he is beloved amongst conservatives and could run for the sake of getting VP)

Haley Barbour
(heard he did well after Katrina)

It's time to stop "bickering and arguing about who killed who" and start rebuilding.
