The Republican National Committee is sending out a 2009 State of the Republican Party Survey to the American public, wanting to know what you think of the current GOP and how they can improve on a multitude of issues.

Now we know at least a few things have come to your mind, so whether or not you are a Republican yourself, why not share your wisdom with them? As swing voters ourselves, we long for the day when there is a Party that's truly representative of the People again, whatever Party that may be...and it's certain that the GOP needs the most help in restructuring itself at this point.

And of course we rarely turn down an opportunity to speak our minds, so here's what we submitted to the GOP in the comments section of the survey.

Q. What can the Republican Party do to earn and maintain your trust?

A. Become the Republican Party again. Stop focusing on always growing and expanding and instead focus on the base principle of LIMITED government. Listen to the wisdom of our founding fathers. Care about the people's approval more than justifying the misdeeds of Republican leaders. Stop spending our tax dollars on bailouts. Help boost the middle class, not just the rich. Do not support infringements on our civil rights like wiretapping without warrants. Let the States regulate abortion themselves, as they do with the death penalty, and as the Constitution dictates for issues not specifically outlined for the federal government. Take steps to abolish the Federal Reserve, one of our major economic problems, an outfit that has little to no oversight and adds air to the housing bubble by superficially altering interest rates and allocating funds that don't exist. Stop spending money we don't have; listen to the sound money principles of Congressman Ron Paul, one of your own party members who was your best chance at taking the 2009 election (his anti-war stance, his pro-life beliefs generally supported by Republican members, his economic experience and wisdom), had you promoted him, which you certainly did not. Do something about the fact that more people fear the IRS than being mugged. Recognize that a democratic republic does not require socialism, nor capitalism. Support the free market but stop allowing any corporation to have enough monopolistic power to be capable of causing the collapse of our entire financial system by themselves if not bailed out by the people, as has been the excuse for the massive government handouts. If the huge businesses fail, let them fail. There should be room for more small and medium businesses to succeed if the giant companies cannot help themselves.
