A conservative SuperPAC started to support Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign is starting a petition campaign demanding Rules Committee members allow the 2,472 RNC delegates to vote their conscience and pick the best candidate to lead the party in November.
CONSERVATIVES PAC PETITION CALLS ON CONVENTION
TO UNBIND DELEGATES AND #FREETHEGOP
PAC spokesman Steve Lonegan said petitions will be broken out by state and delivered to each of the 116 Rules Committee members who have the power to let delegates vote their consciences.
The petition lists a series of reasons why delegates should be permitted to vote their conscience and not be bind on any ballots including ad hominem attacks against other Republicans and ethnic stereotyping, the Trump University scandal, the candidate’s refusal to release his tax returns, college and post-graduate transcripts or the New York Times interview tape.
Other reasons include Trump’s 1980 and 1984 endorsements of Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale over Ronald Reagan, supporting George W. Bush’s impeachment, continued mental instability and a refusal to unite the Republican Party as reasons to unbind the delegates.
“The 2472 elected delegates to the July Republican National Convention in Cleveland are entrusted by party voters to look out for the best interests of all Republican voted and candidates,” the petition notes, adding that “Donald J. Trump’s continued actions, instability, incoherence and refusal to lead the party is having a negative effect on Republican candidates everywhere.”
The PAC petition demands that “all 2472 delegates be released from their pledges to support candidates on the First and in some cases subsequent ballots and that all delegates be allowed to exercise their responsibility to pick the strongest Republican candidate based on their conscience and be freed from any obligation to support a candidate they do not believe represents the values and principles of the Republican Party.”
“Donald Trump is no conservative and his reckless campaign not only threatens to throw the White House to Hillary, but also threatens thousands of down-ballot candidates from U.S. Senate to Town Council and School Board,” Lonegan said. “We want to see the Rules Committee let these elected delegates do their job and defend the integrity of our party from this fake, phony fraud.”
Courageous Conservatives PAC was formed in October 2015 to support the election of Ted Cruz and other strong principled conservative candidates.
