The National Republican Congressional Committee recently picked up the video camera and sat down with several Republican House members to ask them about the most pressing issues facing voters today, and why the Republicans can, and will, win back the Majority. The series, which was launched last week, is called "Rediscover Your Party,” and will run from now until the fall. Members of Congress who participated in the inaugural “Rediscover Your Party” series include NRCC Chairman Tom Cole (OK), Republican Leader John Boehner (OH), Republican Whip Roy Blunt (MO), Rep. Marsha Blackburn (TN), Rep. Kevin McCarthy (CA), Rep Jeb Hensarling (TX), Rep. Patrick McHenry (NC), Rep. Mike Pence (IN) and Rep. Candice Miller (MI).

What I’m hearing a lot of from activists and supporters is that, yes, they want to know why Democrats are wrong for America– but now more than ever, they want to know what Republicans stand for and what they’re doing to reshape the country we live in. Well, they’d be happy to know we’re listening.

We took some of the questions our supporters emailed and then sat a few of our members down and started a conversation.

The first episode was about the importance of defeating our terrorist enemies overseas, while today’s episode highlights the importance of earmark reform.

The interviews, which were shot a few weeks back- were digitally transferred to uncompressed Quick Time files, then color-corrected in Final Cut Pro. Each individual episode, which will have an approximate run time of 3 minutes, has been edited in Adobe Premiere.

Thus far the response to the series has been overwhelming. Although this is only series one of many, it’s important that we continue to reach our activists through online video. Look for more episodes in the upcoming weeks.
