Dear John Hager,
Thank you.
Yesterday's vote for RPV Chairman was an indication of the unrest within the Republican Party, in my opinion, and not a reflection of you.
We were all appreciative of your willingness to once again serve your state last year when Ed Gillespie got bumped upstairs to the White House position. You answered the call and ran as RPV Chairman, and I supported you.
The troubles in the SWAC area the past year have overshadowed our GOP work and you tried to help us resolve that issue as best you could. I want you to know we are appreciative. The fact you and others were unable to get any farther than we was a powerful sign of the problems and issues we, as the GOP, are facing.
Please call on us if we can help with anything in the future. Once again, I thank you and salute you as a pillar of the Republican Party.
With warmest regards,
~Lynn Mitchell
State Central Committee 6th District Rep
Vice Chairman, Augusta County Republican Committee

John Hager deserves our sincere gratitude for his decades long support of Republicans and his service to Virginia in both Republican and Democratic administrations.
The election of Jeff Frederick by such a landslide (turned to acclamation on the motion by John Hager) shows that the Republican Party members are eager to move forward and distance the Virginia GOP from the Bush years.
It will take more than a new Chairman. We can't sit at home and take a, "Let Jeff do it" attitude. We all must recruit new members, citizens who love LIBERTY and want a return to Constitution based government, and rebuild our local precinct organizations from the ground, upwards.
As this Convention passes into history, my lasting memory will be how the current RPVA staff intentionally worked against Jeff Frederick and Bob Marshall, when they should have been held to a much higher standard of impartiality and professionalism. I will not forget how, when I visited the Obenshain Center in Richmond to help with Convention preparations that I found no Marshall or Frederick materials being included in the bags to be given to delegates who paid the $35 fee, even though materials from their opponents were being placed in the bags. When I went to use the Men's room, I found the only Jeff Frederick sign in the building, on the toilet.
