MOPP Policy Statement: MOPP is committed to working within the framework of the 2 party system that exists currently, especially in this election cycle, when a third party candidate could diminish our chances for victory. We are frankly not happy with either party, but of the 2, we feel the one that comes closest to being salvageable is the Republican Party. Therefore, at this juncture, we are dedicated to utilizing the precinct strategy to work within the Republican Party, from the ground up, to make it more reflective of grassroots conservative principles and values...we believe we need to BE the party!. For this reason, our endorsements lean heavily toward the Republican ticket; however, we are pleased to note that quite a few of those running on the Republican ticket, and whom we are endorsing, have come out of the grassroots movement, so we are making positive strides and a step in the right direction. Rememberwe did not get here overnightit will take time to reverse the tide.
