Chairman

Dear Mr. Chairman:

With the selection of our Republican nominee at the convention, it is with profound regret that I must
submit my resignation as Precinct Executive for Precinct C in Wyoming. While I will be supporting our
Republican candidates at other levels of the ticket who are committed to bringing needed, positive,
conservative change, I cannot support our presidential nominee, and therefore cannot encourage others to
do so. Our nominee should have a Precinct Executive that is an enthusiastic supporter.
To those who say a failure to vote for the Republican nominee is a de facto vote for the Democratic
nominee, who is at least equally flawed, albeit in different ways, I say neither candidate is worthy of my
vote. They are the most divisive presidential candidates in history, at precisely the time when our country
needs a leader who can foster unity. Further, to those who say voting for a third party candidate is
throwing away a vote, I disagree, as my vote for another candidate will help deny the winner any mandate
to lead our government. That is what those of us who oppose both candidates are reduced to, but this is a
nonetheless important role. While I am under no illusion that one of the two major party candidates
won't end up winning, it is a fact that if the winning candidate has less than 45Yo of the vote, they will be
able to claim no mandate from the people to pursue their policies-and the lower the vote total, the harder
it will be for them to succeed, ensuring that either winner is a one-term President.

My business associates in Canada, Europe, and Asia are incredulous that we Americans are left to choose
between two such flawed candidates. I have explained how it is too late to change the major party
nominees, but that it is not too late for those of us who cannot support either candidate to influence the
election, by denying the winner a mandate and electing a Congress that will pursue policies beneficial to
our nation.
Finally, I would remind you that extremism in the defense of conservative principles is no vice. And let
me also remind you that moderation in the pursuit of constructive political leadership is no virtue.

I look forward to working with you in the future towards the election of Republican candidates worthy of
our mutual support. Thank you for your ongoing efforts towards that end.
Sincerely,
