I will miss the old format because it was low key, BUT, the new format is wonderful. I just spent an hour reading everything on the new Website.

One area not mentioned was volenteering for the party, at the national level, the state level, county level. President Bush has started a volunteer program nationally, many of us are retired, or empty nesters and have time to do a lot of things to help to improve the party and our state, but need to directed.

I want to thank you and your staff for all the wonderful information you provided for us during the political season 2002, it was fun and most helpful. Keep up the good work.

Happy Holidays!!!

PV Notes: Thank you very much, Karen! We are aware that the new format is a bit of a change and in some ways it constricts what we can publish.

With regard to providing information on how to volunteer and who to contact, we could direct you to call the State GOP, but we realize that may well be a fruitless task. While such a communications network of state volunteerism could have likely been built by the state party over the past year-and-a-half, the fact is that ralph reed was too busy working on making all of the decisions himself (as well as figuring out ways to direct party business to his company coffers) and not allowing our elected state party executive committee to participate in any such activities.
