Martinez Steps Down- GOOD!
Posted by Raven on October 19th, 2007
Some good news from the GOP:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mel Martinez, the public face of the Republican National Committee as its general chairman, announced Friday he was stepping down from his post after serving only 10 months.
”I believe that our future as a party and nation is bright and I have every intention of continuing to fight for our president, our party and our candidates,” the Florida senator said in a statement.
His resignation came months earlier than anticipated. Martinez wasn’t expected to step down until a Republican presidential nominee was selected, and the earliest that could occur is February.
Martinez said he was relinquishing the job to spend more time focusing on his constituents and because the RNC had achieved the objective he set when he assumed the job in January.
”It was my goal as general chairman to lead the party as it established the structure and raised the resources necessary to support our presidential candidate and ensure Republican victories next November. I believe we have accomplished those goals,” Martinez said.
Yeah? It seems to me that the RNC needs to have a leader who inspires it’s members and who works for the values of the GOP.
Mr. Martinez did neither. A supporter of illegal immigration, this man did little to bring unity to the GOP as evidenced by the lack of fundraising for the party, among other things. I hope the RNC can find a replacement who is able to spark the dimmed light our party has experienced recently. And start standing up for the RIGHT and not the special interest groups. I for one am quite pleased to hear Martinez has stepped down.
