Request reason:

This is a disgusting and outrageous attack on my First amendment rights, My little brother uses my account and makes phony edits as clearly seems I have made countless contributions creating pages for Damon Dunn, Tom Ganley, and The Politican. I can not change my password or account because you people make it impossible. Unlike facebook and twitter which are no longer vandilized by my brother.

Request reason:

I have changed my password to secure my account. As I stated before I have made many constructive edits to Damon Dunn, added all the pictures to Ohio University and Benedictine High School, along with useful edits to pages I did not create such as Josh Mandel and Beachwood High Schooll Ak169808 (talk) 00:09, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Actually the "little brother defense" is used so often we have a whole page at WP:BROTHER deicated to why it is not an acceptable reason to unblock you. Also, there is no such thing as an absolute right to free speech on a privately owned website, so that argument is equally invalid. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:17, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose some significant and well researched improvements to your article by editing your personal copy of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.

Request reason:

If unblocked I will change political articles on candidates and in put race results in each respective races for 2010 updating the pages. This is my last unblock request I am moving in two weeks and will make a new account from my next ip address to get rid of this hassle. I already apologized. I was sincere. I no longer want to make unconstructive edits because I find them humorous. I made many many edits in good articles. I blinged out my high school Benedictine High School in Cleveland with pictures. I will make more edits like this if I am unblocked. If not as I said before I will just make a new account after I move. You don't have to unblockly, frankly I really don't care. I just want to help updating this encyclopedia at this point. Please unblock me. I am sorry.

Decline reason:

I can't find your 'second chance' article work on this talk page as described above- there's nothing for me to review here. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:47, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

thumb|right|Seal of the RNC The Republican National Committee (RNC) provides national leadership for the Republican Party of the United States. It is responsible for developing and promoting the Republican political platform, as well as coordinating fundraising and election strategy. It is also responsible for organizing and running the Republican National Convention. Similar committees exist in every U.S. state and most U.S. counties, although in some states party organization is structured by congressional district, allied campaign organizations being governed by a national committee. Michael Steele is the current RNC chairman, and will serve until January 2011.

The RNC's main counterpart is the Democratic National Committee.

History[edit]

The 1856 Republican National Convention appointed the first RNC. It consisted of one member from each state and territory to serve for four years. Each national convention since then has followed the precedent of one representative per state or territory, regardless of population. From 1924 to 1952 there was a national committeeman and national committeewoman from each state and U.S. possession, and from Washington, D.C.. In 1952, committee membership was expanded to include the state party chairs of states that voted Republican in the preceding presidential election, have a Republican majority in their combined U.S. representatives and senators, or have Republican governors. By 1968, membership reached 145.

The only person to have chaired the RNC and later become U.S. president is George H.W. Bush. A number of the chairs of the RNC have been state governors.

2009 RNC Chairman Selection[edit]

RNC Chairman Vote

Candidate rep Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Round 5 Round 6
Michael Steele 46 48 51 60 79 91
Katon Dawson 28 29 34 62 69 77
Saul Anuzis 22 24 24 31 20 Withdrew
Ken Blackwell 20 19 15 15 Withdrew
Mike Duncan 52 48 44 Withdrew
  Candidate won that Round of voting
  Candidate withdrew
  Candidate won RNC Chairmanship

On announcing his candidacy to succeed RNC Chairman Duncan, former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele described the party as being at a crossroads and not knowing what to do. "I think I may have some keys to open the door, some juice to turn on the lights," he said.[3]

Six men ran for the 2009 RNC Chairmanship: Steele, Ken Blackwell, Mike Duncan, Saul Anuzis, Katon Dawson and Chip Saltsman. After Saltsman's withdrawal, there were only five candidates during the hotly-contested balloting January 30, 2009.

After the third round of balloting that day, Steele held a small lead over incumbent Mike Duncan of Kentucky, with 51 votes to Duncan's 44. Shortly after the announcement of the standings, Duncan dropped out of contention without endorsing a candidate.[4] Ken Blackwell, the only other African-American candidate, dropped out after the fourth ballot and endorsed Steele, though Blackwell had been the most socially conservative of the candidates and Steele had been accused of not being "sufficiently conservative." Steele picked up Blackwell's votes.[5] After the fifth round, Steele held a ten vote lead over Katon Dawson, with 79 votes, and Saul Anuzis dropped out.[6] After the sixth vote, he won the chairmanship of the RNC over Dawson by a vote of 91 to 77.[7]

Mississippi Governor and former RNC chair Haley Barbour has suggested the party will focus its efforts on congressional and gubernatorial elections in the coming years rather than the next presidential election. "When I was chairman of the Republican National Committee the last time we lost the White House in 1992 we focused exclusively on 1993 and 1994. And at the end of that time, we had both houses of Congress with Republican majorities, and we’d gone from 17 Republican governors to 31. So anyone talking about 2012 today doesn’t have their eye on the ball. What we ought to worry about is rebuilding our party over the next year and particularly in 2010,” Barbour said at the November 2008 Republican Governors conference.[8]

2009 RNC Health Coverage-Abortion Controversy[edit]

On November 12, 2009, the Republican National Committee was involved in a controversy over its opposition to funding for abortion in government sponsored health plans. After strong support for the Stupak Amendment – which prohibited any coverage of abortion services under government-subsidized or government-operated health insurance plans operating under the terms of the Affordable Health Care for America Act, regardless of whether that coverage was itself funded by the government – it became known that the employer-based health care provided to members of the RNC provides coverage for elective abortions. Republican leaders stated they did not realize this coverage was within the health care terms, and promised to promptly remove such coverage. It has been noted that this coverage is not precisely in contradiction with the intention of the Stupak amendment because the health coverage for RNC members is private insurance, not publicly funded.[11]
