Many Republicans are unwilling to confront divisive issues such as this for fear of retaliation by trial lawyers and feminists. Assuming that these two groups have successfully co-opted the Republican vote in Congress and in State Assemblies on all such issues that concern parents and children, what would you be willing to do as RNC Chairman to create new clarity for these concerns?

How will you help to change the current stereotype that Republicans are "fat cats" only interested in getting richer and Democrats are the "caring option" that supports middle America and programs for the needy?

I do not understand why you can allow amnesty to all the people who have come to this country illegally? I know one man who wants to come here from England and he has to wait. He should just go to Mexico and come in the back door like the rest of them are doing. Why do you not take a stand on spending millions of dollars on these illegals that is being taken away from our citizens?

How can free market reforms on all economic issues, on all trade issues, on all government reform issues, and on all health care issues really be successfully implemented asap to the best of human abilities when the entire U.S. is already headed in the exact opposite direction politically and already headed towards becoming a third world socialistic country for the long-term future?

As chairman what will you do to make sure that there are younger candidates ready to run for vacant congressional offices because of incumbents refusing to run for reelection? What type of support will the RNC give these candidates?

Questions: 1) what are you going to do to with the millions of illegal aliens in our nation? 2) What is your position on abortion? 3) Are you willing to cut spending on ALL programs (except Defense) by at least 1/3? 4) Are you willing to work to put Social Security into a "Lock Box" so it is NOT in the General Budget category, and over time, privatize it? 5) Are you willing to repeatedly, if necessary, speak out forcefully on conservative principles such as: small government, strong defense, low taxes, elimination of welfare, etc? 6) What will you do to stop the corruption in government? Will you even mention it in a meaningful and understandable and direct manner?

Should "Republicans In Name Only" Republicans or RINO Republicans, at each and every political level, be seriously kicked out of the Republican Party, while the entire Republican Party also really becomes an overall conservative political party on all of the issues for the long-term, or should the "Big Tent Mentality on all people and issues-Allowing conservatives, moderates, liberals, and libertarians to always co-exist" among many from within the entire Republican Party continue to exist for the long-term?

I would like to know if the new Chairman will take action to close our primaries. We don't need anymore liberals as our standard bearer.
