Motion:

The 6^th Congressional District Republican Committee of Virginia calls on Republican National Committeeman Morton Blackwell, Republican National Committeewoman Patti Lyman and Republican State Central Committee Chairman Rich Anderson to vote for any candidate for Republican National Committee Chairman other than Ronna McDaniel.

Current Chairman McDaniel has failed to provide effective leadership at a time when it is desperately needed. What is required now is an RNC Chairman who recognizes the great peril our Country faces. That Chairman must be willing and able to forcefully and relentlessly engage those who would destroy America.

Copies of this Motion shall be sent to Morton Blackwell, Patti Lyman and Rich Anderson. Copies of the Motion shall also be sent to the Republican Congressional District Chairmen in Virginia to encourage other Republican Committees to address the RNC election.

Repeated failures can never be acceptable to a political organization.  It is clear that the current leadership of the Republican Party inside Washington DC needs overwhelming change, and it is also clear that Chair McDaniel is not capable of getting the job done.  We have lost 3 elections now, and all we are being promised is more of the same.  The GOP needs to rebuild our ground operations, and it is clear that Ms. McDaniel is woefully inadequate in getting this done.  The GOP needs to be the party of Main Street, not K Street.  The 6^th Congressional District is not endorsing any particular candidate.  But we are saying that the Republican National Committee is broken and needs not only to be fixed, but needs structural change from the ground up.
