As President of the Rhode Island Republican Assembly, I would like to take this moment to wish Ken McKay all the best in his new endeavors in Washington. I am sure that Ken's talents will be of great use to Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin in helping overcome the issues that have been brought forth by the Obama administration.
Over the next thirty days, the RIGOP will select a new leader. We must all remain focused, energized, and be 100% supportive of the new leader whomever it may be. Ken's moving on is but a bump in the road which the RIGOP will weather just fine.
I look forward to continue working with the RIGOP on issues of building an effective Party, an army of candidates, and addressing the issues that face us all in the State of Rhode Island from taxes to illegal immigration to pension reform, to an out of control General Assembly, and as we all know, the list goes on.
Conservatively yours,
Raymond T McKay
President, RIRA

Stop the talking and start doing something. I remember McKay saying that the if you don't like what you are getting from the corrupted Dems you have only one choice the GOP. I think that is not good enough, we have other choices for those that want and will make a difference in RI, independents and moderates to name a few. Fortunately people are beginning to realize what we have is not working for RI.
