Fellow Conservatives:

As the 2014 Republican primary elections near, an interesting question has been raised in party politics.

Should all Republican senators be re-nominated after each term?

The Republican establishment in Washington thinks so. In fact, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) recently announced it will oppose all conservative candidates who challenge Republican incumbents in primaries regardless of the circumstances.

The NRSC believes that once a Republican is elected to the U.S. Senate, that senator should be re-nominated after each term. They don't think voters should ever elect someone new who better reflects their views.

They don't care how long the senator has been there, what their record is, or if they're unpopular back home and could cost the party the seat. They believe in lifetime nominations and would probably eliminate primary elections for incumbents altogether if they could.

The goal of the NRSC is no longer to win back the Senate, but rather to protect incumbents no matter how liberal they are and regardless of whether they are likely to be defeated by a Democrat in the general election.

Instead of building a new Senate, they're working to protect the old one.

What do you think? Take our short "Republican Primary Survey."

PRIMARIES ARE GOOD

We strongly disagree with the establishment. We believe primary elections are good for the party because they empower voters with choices.

We also believe primaries are good for incumbents because they provide accountability. As Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said, “primaries are good" because "they make us all better.”

We don't object to the establishment taking sides in primaries, but we believe it's bad for America when they blindly support all incumbents.

Being a U.S. senator is not an entitlement; it's a privilege that must be earned in each election.

Some senators have been in office for decades and have lost touch with the voters and their principles. Many have voted for bailouts, more debt, tax increases, and funding for Obamacare.

If we want to save this country from the career politicians who are destroying it, we must elect new leaders. It's that simple.

Change in Washington means changing the people we send there, and that sometimes means changing the Republicans we send there.

This is what we believe, but we want to know what you think.

Please complete our "Republican Primary Survey" and register your views.

We also want to know which Republicans should be replaced by conservatives and whether you think conservative Americans should refuse to donate to the NRSC given its bias against principled candidates.

Your feedback will help guide us as we make more candidate endorsements and work to change the Senate in 2014.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Matt Hoskins
