How?

Get more conservatives into the "voting member" slots of the Republican Party who vote to elect the members of the Republican National Committee.

Is it hard to do?

No.

But it takes a little bit of time and effort.

So, can conservatives get the RNC to address the MS "Establishment problem" right now?  Probably not.  But they could in the future.  Indeed, if conservatives began flocking into their respective local Republican Party committee meetings this month and every month thereafter, in great numbers, they could have an immediate impact on the conduct of some of the current RNC members.

EDIT: Everyone needs to read this!  If you are halfway serious about taking back the party, this is a road map.  We all need to become experts on this.  There are a few links too from others who are writing about this.

we address the MS problem by not being  put on a leash by Barbour. Dont vote Cochran.

He's just mailing it in.  He wines and cries, the author gives us another angle of attack, and he grabs his Kleenex, hops on the couch, eats a bowl of ice cream, and watches some "Beaches".

We (TEA) could take every state in the union, with only one RINO standing, and he'd still see it as a defeat.

Absolutely. 

People, this is a must read.
It is our way of taking over the GOP at the grassroots level, in fact, it multiplies your single vote times ten thousand.

This is a great idea. Unfortunately, there are so many complainers, and so few doers. I will look into this locally. I hope a thousand other will too. I'll try to become active in one of the local Tea Party groups too.

Much has already been written about what Republican "Establishment" people did in the Mississippi primary run-off election on behalf of incumbent Thad Cochran.

Some have written a letter to Republican Party National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus to "investigate" the "potentially illegal" activities of these "Establishment" people.

Chairman Priebus might acquiesce to these demands, but I doubt it.  Why do I doubt it?  Because, looking at the names of the signers of the letter, it appears only one or two of them are actually members of the Republican National Committee.

Why would the signers' status "in" the Party be important?  Because Reince Priebus's constituency consists of the national committee members.  These are the people who elected him in January, 2013 and might re-elect him to the chairmanship in the next election in January, 2015.  See Rules 2 and 5 of the Rules of the Republican Party.  If he wants retain his position, or be re-elected, then he cares whether his constituency thinks he ought to be doing a particular thing; I do not believe he cares very much what others, not part of his constituency, think he ought to be doing.

By contrast, what if a majority of the RNC members had written such a letter to Chairman Priebus?  Or, better still, tw0-thirds of them?  Why might such letters from RNC members have an effect on Chairman Priebus?  Because he knows, under Rule 5, the RNC Chairman is elected by a majority vote of the RNC members and, "The chairman or co-chairman may be removed from office only by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the entire Republican National Committee."

So, why has such a letter not been written?  Well, probably because there are not enough conservatives among the members of the Republican National Committee to constitute either a majority or a two-thirds majority of the membership to sign either such letter.

Can that be changed?

Of course.

The Rest of the Story

Well don't hurt yourself...

I hate to be a Negative Nelly, but the Republican Establishment is never going to give up power - especially not to Tea Party types. If you had any doubt about that, Mississippi should have been your wake up call!

Oh, this article pushes all the right button, Stay true! Change the party from within! Victory is just around the corner! Yada...  yada... yada...

I've been hearing that crap for the past quarter of a century, and yet, election after election I've seen the Republican Elite snatch defeat out  of the jaws of Victory!

And what happened when the Republicans did have The Power (The White House, and both Houses of Congress)? We got the Patriot Act, the NDAA, Homeland Security, bailout of the airlines following 9/11. Domestic Spying, mandatory frisking and virtual strip search of airline passengers... and that is just the tip of the iceberg. In short, under the leadership of a Republican president and a Republican Congress, we have seen the greatest usurpation of Individual Liberties in this country since we were all subjects of the British Crown!

It is said that doing the same thing in the same way over and over again and expecting different results is one definition of insanity. Well, isn't that exactly what this article is asking you to do? Do what you have done since Reagan was in office, over and over again in the same manner, on the hope that one day (in the distant future?) you will see a different result?

Now, given the results we've see thus far, don't you think that is just a little bit insane?

So an historic 2010 mid term where the TEA stole more than 700 Legislative seats across the country, meant nothing?
Go ahead and be as negative as you like, but Nov will make you look the fool you portray yourself to be.

Everybody expects instant results. It's a plague that seems to only afflict those on the right. The Left is patient in achieving their goals. They see even babysteps as a win, as long as it brings them on step closer to their goals

True, it's a proven method, they just keep chipping away at the Constitution.
Of course we're not going to save the country with a couple of elections, but by God, we're on the path of reversing decades of damage both party's have done.
