In light of the success of the Ron Paul presidential campaign attracting large numbers of young activists to the conservative cause, what specifically will you do to ensure they become Republicans?

As RNC chairman, what will you do to encourage the devolution of power from the national government back to the state/local governments as dictated by the 9th and 10th Amendments?

Austrian economics is the leading advocate for individual freedom in economics. Individual freedom in economics is an important defense against tyrranny in government. Seeing now that the predictions of Ron Paul and Peter Schiff were amazingly accurate will the republican party now turn to the Austian school of economics for direction in monetary reform. Elaborate please

Will you add opposition to fiat money (including the Federal Reserve system) to the Republican platform?

The Republican party once stood for terminating such worthless and probably unconstitutional Departments such as the Department of Education, and the Department of Commerce. Do you support terminating these two Departments, and reviewing other worthless government agencies for termination?

"We can't be a party of small government, free markets and low taxes while supporting bailouts and nationalizing industries, which lead to big government, socialism and high taxes at the expense of individual liberty and freedoms," How do you plan to discourage embracing "socialism,"and support the real conservatives, like Ron Paul for Example?

Bailouts, senior prescriptions, No Child Federal school governance...Please explain how the GOP-brand effectively stands for "smaller, less intrusive government" today, and your plans to restore that brand.

As a Republican of over 20 years I went to my first county, district, and state conventions this year. I was appalled at how the Ron Paul supporters (including myself) were treated. The clear message I and thousands of others received was that we were NOT welcome in the Republican party. What will you do to let me know that I AM welcome and I should remain an active and registered Republican?

Will you end the Federal Reserve?

We have unfortunately witnessed a Republican President and Congress preside over an overwhelming increase in the largess of the Federal Government. Do you believe we should stand for smaller, limited government, in accordance with the intent of our Nation's Founders? If so, how do you propose to make that arguement to Americans in a credible fashion?

Having been a lifelong Republican for over 30 years, and having participated since the last election cycle at the precinct committee officer level of Republican party politics I am gravely concerned that the Republican Party is soley interested in running candidates who have paid their dues, so to speak, instead of supporting/running the right candidate for the right moment running on the right issues/message at the right location, i.e candidates who can win races. Also, Republicans who embrace the platform and ideals of the party yet are supporters of Dr. Ron Paul are shunned. I am a duly elected party official who is shunned at my legislative district and county party level. Will the party open the doors of the well sequestered Big Tent and embrace its very own elected officials who support the party platform and Republican ideals to expand, unite and succeed in electing viable Republican candidates or will it continue its stranglehold on power, shrinking the party and leading to the very death of the party?

Given that only one presidential candidate in 2008 had been predicting our economic collapse (and for the very reasons that caused it), warning for decades that policies being enacted would lead us to this pass, shouldn't the RNC pay VERY close attention to Congressman Ron Paul and his message?

While many people in the party have spoken about the importance of young voters, few have offered concrete plans on how to work from within the RNC to attract young voters back to our party. What, specifically, would you do to make the Republican Party an attractive option for voters 18-29 years old? Please include any ideas you have for specific programs, policy initiatives, or organizational restructurings you would commit to as RNC Chairman.

I'm 25 years old and I've always voted republican except for the last election which I stayed out of. I'm a fierce "small-government" conservative and I consider Barry Goldwater as my political idol. Goldwater's run spawned the Young Americans For Freedom which was ultimately responsible for reviving the republican party. My question to you is, why have Republicans strayed from its small government roots vis-a-vis bailouts and reckless government spending?

Can you explain how abandoning the free market will save the free market?

Will you return our nation to the gold standard, as required by our Constitution (Article 1 Section 10: "No state shall...make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts")?

Do you plan on living by the standards that you Preach? Similar to Ron Paul's message. Or do you plan on standing idly by when those selected by you for us to vote for go against those principles? Is there no repudiation for the guilty?

Considering the Institutional advantage Democrats enjoy in the educational system and at the collegiate level, Republicans have to work even harder than Democrats to attract the youth vote. What strategies would you employ to spread the Republican message to young people, and to promote the party as an organization they would want to associate with?

Honestly before I started listening to Dr. Ron Paul, I, a clueless ex-liberal, had no idea how much I was inline with the original Republican platform and the conservative values. Today, I'm proud to say that I'm a conservative and a registered republican! Will the RNC encourage people like me to stick around by returning it's position on issues, to the roots of the party.

Why were the Ron Paul delegates harassed at the Republican National Convention?
