Petition of the Spotsylvania Republican Party

To Steven Thomas, Chairman

Whereas, you’ve been elected and served a party dedicated to the preservation of conservative values and advancing the cause of liberty and freedom, and,

Whereas, the Republican Party is a private organization of like-minded voters and its leadership is charged with restricting its nomination process to Republicans, and,

Whereas, an open primary, the only kind possible in Virginia, is presently the nomination method to be used in the 2013 as Republicans nominate our candidates for state wide office; now, therefore, the undersigned activists in Spotsylvania County petition our representative on the State Central Committee to use your vote on June 15 to support the selection of a convention for the nomination of our candidates for Governor, Lt. Governor and Attorney General.

Signed:
