We all hear a lot of talk about a GOP rebirth – and about rebuilding the Illinois Republican Party. While the Democrats are dropping like a stone in public opinion polls, there is still much work to be done to make the “Grand Old Party” grand again.
What is the role of the party? At the local level, it should be where supporters of traditional values, limited government, and defense through strength policies gather to help spread the message, as well as recruit and elect good people to serve in offices at all levels of government.
Too often, unfortunately, the local GOP is merely a shell of what it can be. The result has been Democratic Party election victories.
