Memo To Michael Steele: Don't Worry About Rush, Worry About THIS!

This is a sign that the Republican party needs a little bit of tightening and realize that they can not expect to get anywhere when they do not even show up to gatherings of natural allies.
While RNC Chair Michael Steele got caught up in a non-controversy involving Rush Limbaugh, he may have dropped the ball on a huge chance of outreach to a friendly group according to Right Wing News' John Hawkins.
In this, Mr. Hawkins points out that there will be 20, yes 20, Democrat senators at the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's 19th Annual Legislative Conference next week in Washington, D. C.
Now, there will only be two Republican congressmen attending the conference. Both from Florida and related. Mario and Lincoln Diaz-Balart, both Cuban-Americans will be attending.
I know that most of us conservatives find many of these organizations to be counter to what we believe. Believing in individual liberty and not getting caught up in group think. But, we will not win elections if we do not attend these type of events. Take the message to a group that will at the very least perk up their ears at a message that they want to hear.
This is a Hispanic BUSINESS group. The Democrats are slobbering all over this group and, well Mr. Steele is too busy worrying about what Beltway insiders think of the "dust-up" with Rush Limbaugh.
My thought for Mr. Steele-who I support and will support is this.
You need to get your new team assembled quickly at RNC headquarters in Washington. You need to identify these kind of events. And yes, even go into "enemy" territory. You need to DEMAND that senators and congressmen make themselves available to attend. And, you need to show up. These are the kind of people we want to take the message of conservatism to. Letting the Democrats get a leg up on something like this is not acceptable. Mr. Steele. You need to get this as part of the 50-state strategy.
Mr. Steele, I offer this advice for free. Next time, I may want a stipend!
