TCGOP

In an effort to address  grassroots frustrations with candidates and officeholders who run for office under our Party banner, yet lack an understanding of Republican principles, Rule 43 was adopted by the delegates at the 2008 Texas Republican Convention.

To comply with Rule 43, all candidates filing to run in the 2010 Tarrant County Republican Primary will be given a copy of the Texas Republican Platform to read, and a Candidate Platform Review Form which asks candidates if they agree, disagree or are undecided on 10 core Republican issues.  Candidates are also asked to affirm that they have read the Texas Republican Platform.  All responses obtained locally will be kept on file at Tarrant County Republican Headquarters.

It is understood that Judicial Candidates will not be able to complete the questions on the 10 core Republican issues. You are however, encouraged to read the Platform and sign the affirmation stating you have done so.

 Should you have questions, comments or concerns please feel free to contact our office.

   Thanks. Originally I did not read the attachment, figuring (wrongly) it was only a reference. Now, I have read it and am truly happy that this has been done. Too often delegates, and candidates, never took the time to read ANY of the planks in our platform. Some read it years ago and are not aware of updates. A few years back I sat on a selection committee for state delegates, and literally 9 out of 10 never read one, or read it ‘years ago’. This is a refreshing change and I hope ‘truly’ we hold each candidate accountable.
