As a formerly "solid" Republican, who was active for many years in the party, as a member of my county Republican Executive Committee, and officer in Teen Age Republicans, College Republicans, and Young Republicans, the manager of several Republican campaigns, party operative, and contributor, I am only one of millions of ex-Movement Conservatives disgusted with the party's sellout of its traditional principles since rising to power in Washington.
