Dullain Erhlich for State Committee Woman & Executive Board for Snohomish county.

Vote to retain Dullain Erhlich as State Committee Woman & Executive Board for Snohomish county.

In this last election, I have had the great pleasure to get to know Dullain Erhlich personally. She has the drive to tirelessly support our republican candidates like (Mike Hope, Dino Rossi, John McCain, and more). Michelle does not show her support for any of these candidates yet she is asking for a leadership role. Dullain leads by example and is a real work horse for the republican party. Dullain is driven to do her best job for republicans because she feels that it is the best way to build a better country for her grandchildren. She supports the GOTV (get out to vote) tirelessly. In January of 2008 she organized a POC training with 128 people and another in the fall.

As a grassroots republican who aided in many sign waving events with my brother and organizer Chris Ihler, I have found no one who has continually praised and supported our grass roots efforts with the same amount of passion as Dullain Erhlich. During the elections Dullain showed me that she is a true champion of grassroot Republicans. Dullain gives great encouragement and motivation and she continually shares her knowledge to young people. During my brothers grassroot sign waving events we supported Mike Hope, Dino Rossi, John McCain and every other republican with a sign. As a Grassroots Republican I can not endorse someone who refused to endorse Mike Hope, Dino Rossi and John McCain. On Michelle McIntyre's website she never endorsed Mike Hope, Dino Rossi, or John McCain at a time when they really needed help. Web link http://wsrpreform.blogspot.com/ If she can not support republicans why is she seeking a leadership role in the republican party.


For State Committee Woman and the Executive Board, I want someone who will not oppose my efforts and our republican candidates. It seems Michelle will support Ron Paul during the primaries and then walk away from the party when we pick a candidate she does not like, right when the real work needs to be done. I will not endorse someone who refused to endorse Dino. Michelle's agenda dose not support mine.

Being a candidate is the hardest job in politics and we need leaders who will get involved and help, not sit on the bench when there is work to be done. We need leaders willing to help carry the burden that we place on our fine candidates. What is the point of having a Snohomish county republican party if they don't believe in supporting republicans who are trying to get elected. We must reelect Dullain Erhlich as State Committee Woman & Executive Board.

I recently responded to Michelle McIntyre's website http://wsrpreform.blogspot.com/ were she stated; 'A word of caution about the work of FutureThink: while the introspect is to be commended, and many of the participants have the best interests of the party at heart, this is more top down leadership: Hand selecting members of a committee (even if they're good) to decide the future of the party."
Posted by Michelle McIntyre at 1:27 AM 2 you can read my comment at https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8471385302260834861&postID=6889430213832233614 the truth is no one was been hand picked to do anything. All you had to do was show up and tell people, including many party officials what you think. It is a platform for grassroots people like me to make a difference and "I have."

In addition Michelle writes her first and second step is to.
1. The Republican Party shall hold nominating caucuses and conventions to select their nominees for all public offices. The nominees chosen at such conventions shall hold exclusive rights to the name "Republican" and will be considered endorsed by the Republican Party.
2. Neither the Executive Board of this county or state, nor the State Committee shall give pre-convention endorsements. The grassroots Republicans shall choose their nominees through the caucus and convention process. Pasted from http://wsrpreform.blogspot.com/ These two ideas highlight Michelle's lack of specific political knowledge that only comes from experience in politics. For candidates like Sean4seanate.com 2010 to receive federal funding they must receive an endorsement from the state party by a certain time. This time limit runs out before the nominating caucuses and conventions could be held. In effect that would make every major republican candidate useless because they would receive no federal funds. This is extremely dangerous because the democrats will be receiving democratic endorsements in time to get federal funding. Michelles first and second step is to unknowingly make all major republican candidates useless.

So in conclusion
Vote to retain Dullain Erhlich as State Committee Woman & Executive Board for Snohomish county. She has the experience and work ethic to lead our Party.

2. So what is Erlich going to do differently this time that wasn't achieved before. The same old same old i suspect. She is part of the 'OLD' guard, and the OLD guard must go.

Take a look around. It seems Republicans are on a BAD losing streak. Why is that? Coach Willingham was 0-12, should they have given him a 10 year contract with a raise?

You CANNOT expect a turn around using the same old tired blood that took our party to the bottom.

Michelle is fresh, honost, INTELLIGENT, and people like Michelle are the future of this party.

She will get my vote.

3. Right on, Jim!

4. I mis-spelled Erhlich. My apologies.

5. Agreed Jim, it's insane to put the same people in power and expect a new result. Michelle McIntyre is the leadership our Party needs to move us out of this rut!

6. I can't vote for someone who is willing to sacrifice principle for electability (and fail at even that, unfortunately) - In a state like Washington, that essentially means that I would be voting for Democrats.

Michelle McIntyre has my vote.

7. Looks like the anti-Rossi, anti-McCain, anti-McKenna, anti-Republican, pro-Michelle posse is out in full force. I don't think it's very "intelligent" to run for Republican Party office without supporting the 3 main Republican candidates of the 2008 cycle. In fact, I think it's a bit outrageous... As in, requiring the suspension of disbelief.

CB Ross, Andrew Brown and Big Tex... I expect to see you bright and early tomorrow in your "Bad Republican" Revolution T-shirts (or something trendy like that). Or you may just recycle that old Ron Paul Revolution gear that hasn't received much use of late. For being crazy, he sure had some cool looking t-shirts.

9. Yes, the Republican Party is doing so well aren't they?

Good luck, because this party is over.

The leader ship squandered energetic young and older newbies into the political scene because of DEEP concerns for our country and gravitated to REPUBLICAN Ron Paul and his Conservative Constitutional ideals, and tossed that support away, and LAUGHED about it.

NOW they want to include these newbies, because they are going down, and the GOP may never recover. Good luck with that plan. HAH!

This opens the door for a new Party. Stay tuned.

10. lol @ concerned snocopco

11. SnoCoPCO @7:
I think you are incorrect in your description of the posse that is out in full force. You are correct that they are mostly anti McCain anti McKenna and pro Michelle. But many are also Pro Rossi and all are Pro Republican.

You may not find it 'intelligent' to run for a republican party leadership position while not supporting the 3 main republican candidates for the 2008 cycle. I however do not find it consistant to support those three candidates and the GOP party platform and therefore find it intelligent to run for GOP leadership position while opposing candidates that do not support the party platform.
