HUTCHINSON -- To the Editor: Given your recent blog, I thought your readers might be interested in this story from yesterday’s Wall Street Journal.Tyler Hutchinson
It’s about a plan by the Republican National Conservative Caucus (Kansas is represented by Topeka audiologist Helen Van Etten) to punish Republican candidates who fail to live up to the group‘s conservative ideals by withholding campaign funds.
It ought to cut the party‘s base in half if it is adopted
Here‘s a couple of ver batin paragraphs from the article. It also lists the 10 issues at the end.
To read the WSJ article, clck here
“.Conservative Republican Party activists want to withhold money from GOP candidates who stray too far from party orthodoxy.
Ten Republican National Committee members are distributing a plan to impose a purity test – calling for money to be withheld from anyone who disagrees with conservative principles on more than two of 10 core issues.
Among the required stances: oppose President Barack Obama’s health care and cap-and-trade proposals as well as his stimulus plan; reject government funding for abortion; vote “no” on legislation to help unions organize; and support keeping the Defense of Marriage Act.”

HUTCHINSON -- To the Editor:
Could somebody, please, get Moran to stop sneaking in and out of town. He knows that there are plenty of us that want to have a pow-wow with him.
His voting with Pelosi on SCHIP, his friendship with huge pharma, insurance, and hospital groups … ALL of this should be open for discussion.
Why is he so determined to NOT talk with everyday folks?
He's taking no chances on talking with REAL conservatives. Because he is not one. I'm not sure what he is, but conservative he AIN'T!
