How the GOP can Win in Washington

If Republicans want to succeed in Washington, they need to start winning.

If the Republican party wants to win, they're going to have to start raising money.

How do you raise money to win without winning first?

You have to have a plan, a plan that is thorough and convincing.

The Republican party needs to pick small races around Washington over the next several years and win at least 90% of the races they choose.

The path to building a robust political machine and someday possibly a red state is through targeting school boards, library districts, city councils, fire commissioners, county commissioner seats, Etc.

The most important thing is to win; races must be chosen based on their winnability.

If there were a massive organized effort by professional skilled political consultants, there would be interest from Republicans to donate. I would happily participate actively and financially in a plan like this.

In fact, I would go out and continuously fundraise for something like this. I believe in this plan, and I know other people believe in this plan; the question is, why aren't we building a bench?

Why don't we have paid professional political scouting candidates for specific races year-round?

Why don't we have paid professionals working with and assisting candidates with their campaigns?

Lastly, why don't we have a Statewide comprehensive voters guide for conservatives similar to the progressive voter's guide?

Imagine this:

The State party's focus should be on State legislative races; the county focuses on the county, municipal and local races.

The State Republican Party focuses on key legislative races while assisting county parties in implementing a program to pick key local non-legislative races. A liaison from the state party should work with local leaders to ensure this plan is implemented.

This must be addressed to volunteers; if paid staff are required, then that is what must happen.

How the Drug War Killed Liberty

By Matthew Hayward 10/25/2025 When the State Declares War on Behavior Earlier this month, President Trump ordered United States military strikes off the coast of Venezuela, killing alleged “narcoterrorists.” He later boasted, “ We’re just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. ” Those words should chill every American who believes in liberty. Fifty years after Nixon declared his war on drugs, it has evolved from domestic raids to international executions, all under the same failed philosophy that government violence can cure human vice. When the state declares war on human behavior, it always loses and takes the people down with it. Every prison cell, every overdose, every cartel bullet is a monument to the arrogance of government trying to legislate morality. Back in 1988, Ron Paul said it best on The Morton Downey Jr. Show: “You can’t legislate morality. You can’t force people to be better by passing laws. If you want to solve moral and social problems, y...

When Government Demands Papers We Refuse

By Matthew Hayward 9/19/2025 The Supreme Court just paused a lower court order that had limited federal immigration stops in Los Angeles. That stay lets federal agents resume roving patrols and interior operations that critics say rely on appearance, language, job, or neighborhood to pick people for questioning. This matters because it normalizes a posture of suspicion. Checkpoints miles inland and roving patrols turn movement inside the country into a condition to be earned rather than a freedom to be enjoyed. The government already claims expanded authority inside the 100-mile border zone. That claim, plus an open green light for stops based on appearance, is a recipe for arbitrary enforcement. Philosophy of resistance John Locke told us that the consent of the governed is the foundation of legitimate power. When rulers invade life, liberty, or property, or when they become arbitrary disposers of people’s lives and fortunes, the social compact is dissolve...

The Quiet Surrender of Liberty

By Matthew Hayward The slow poison of complacency is the death of the fighting spirit. History is filled with examples of once-free people who gradually surrendered their liberty, not in a single stroke but through a series of quiet concessions. Tyranny often doesn’t arrive with the sound of thunder; it creeps in like a thief in the night, taking advantage of human complacency. The most maddening aspect of this process is not the power-hungry forces behind it, it is the passive, apathetic acceptance by the very people it seeks to control. Complacency is the death knell of liberty. It dulls the senses, erodes vigilance, and normalizes oppression over time. What once sparked outrage and resistance becomes routine, accepted as the new normal. The body scanners at TSA checkpoints, the Patriot Act, the ever-expanding surveillance state, each started with public protests and fiery debates. Now, these violations of privacy and freedom are woven into the fabric of everyday life. Why do pe...
