The hotel staff is busy preparing the reception halls and committee members are getting ready for an exciting weekend in Topeka. Kansas Day, and the meeting of Republicans from around Kansas, is just three days away. In addition to interesting races for National Committeeman and woman, the State Committee will attend to various housekeeping matters, committee reports and two resolutions.
Neither resolution is seems very interesting at first glance, but both are very important. The first resolution deals with Kansas Days itself. Many Republicans, and some bloggers, don't understand that the Kansas Republican Party does not run Kansas Days. It is an independent club, the Kansas Day Club, that organizes the event. The proceeds from our annual meeting do not go towards helping Republican candidates or the many important tasks performed by the Party. Instead, all that money goes to the Kansas Day Club. This resolution will force the Kansas Day club to decide if they want to work together with the Party in partnership to have a bigger and better Kansas Days, for the benefit of all Republicans. Many organizations claiming to be Republican are looking out for their own narrow self interest and building a big bank account at the expense of the Party. The Republican Party exists for the benefit of all Republicans not just a few who happen to live in a certain area or belong to a special group. This Resolution is one small step in placing the needs of the Party ahead of special interests. Everyone wants all Republican organizations to be successful, but when one part of the Party puts it's interests above those of everyone else we are bound to end in defeat.
The second resolution is another small but necessary step in ending the ongoing suspect behavior and possible voter fraud going on in Kansas. Republicans have always stood for fair and open elections and this resolution promotes just that proposition. Requiring simple IDs to vote and proof of citizenship to register to vote just makes sense. The Kansas Republican Party has already adopted the ID requirement for the upcoming Republican Caucus.
Both resolutions are expected to pass with broad support from the Committee.
Update on the National Committeeman race....Rumor has it that Senator Tim Huelskamp may not be running for National Committeeman. Dwight Sutherland has not ruled out a last minute entry. Steve Cloud will be joining with Senator Sam Brownback for some sort of joint endorsement of John McCain for President.

I hear crickets chirping...
That's because Christian and Co. are deleting posts. They've deleted a few of mine already. They fear.
Evidently the Log Cabin Republicans have picked their candidate.
Dear Supporters,
Today, we are proud to announce that the Log Cabin Republicans have endorsed Mitt Romney for President!
The Log Cabin Republicans are the nation's largest organization of Republicans who support special rights for homosexuals.
Mitt Romney is proud to welcome the homosexual gay and lesbian group to his ever-growing list of endorsements!

Thank you for your continued support!
TEAM ROMNEY
PS: Gov. Romney's record of supporting special rights for homosexuals goes far beyond his run for the White House. From his run for governor in our neighboring state of Massachusetts:
Why do conservatives give Romney a pass on his record? Can you answer that insider?
The Log Cabin email is a lie. If you go to their site, they obviously hate Romney.
Conservatives give Romney a pass because he has consistently moved to the conservative side and we believe that people can change for the good. He has not 'flip-flopped' (he has not gone back to his old positions).
Have you seen his comments from 1994? He will do what ever suits his current political goals.
Romney is finished.
McCain/Huckabee is the ticket
I'd guess if that is the ticket .... true conservatives will stay home or vote otherwise.
I'd rather lose than put another pretend conservative into the White House and him once again ignore the principles. Bush has shown what you get from the pretend conservative.
Someone asked why Romney record hasn't been questioned ..... I agree it should be
I would like to know why John McCain has gotten a free pass on his record and from the Democratic side why has the press ignored the Hillary Clinton history .... and asked what has Barack Obama done in his political career ..... normally those professing to be great leaders aand those who will change America have a record of accomplishing major change .... what are his major accomplishments as a leader???
Good question anonymous... there's no telling why the media does anything. The real question is: Why would the "conservatives" who would stay home have no concern for our safety and would allow Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama become Commander in Chief just to prove a point? Did they not learn their lesson in 2006 with Speaker Pelosi? Either the GOP comes together or our future as a free nation is in grave danger.
True Conservatives would rather do what's right than what is politically expedient at the moment. If the Republican party continues to shut out true Conservative voices, they will get what they deserve.
Anon, if what you say is true, then "True Conservatives" obviously have forgotten what's at stake. I assure you, al queda has not. If Republicans sit on their hands and allow a D who is weak on security to move into the White House, they will certainly take notice. Doesn't this bother you at all?
The "so called true conservatives" tend to be single issue fanatics on abortion and don't really care about the Republican party or anything else. Their rise to power has ruined the party. The overwhelming majority of Americans are slightly right of center or slightly left of center. Fringe elements on the left or right move voters the other way. The hysterical rantings of Limbaugh, Coulter, Ingraham, etc. have more to do with ratings, book deals, etc. than real interest in the Republican party.
