There is to be no merger of the Jefferson Republican Party. The allegations of such taking place are complete fabrications. None of the members of the JRP, including the party leadership, had even heard of this until the JRP-Arkansas chairman read the interview with Angelo Cobrasci on Third Party Watch.
The Jefferson Republican Party has no intentions of merging with anyone. The JRP is an independent political party. Though "Republican" is a part of our name, we are in no way affiliated with the so-called Republican Party of today. We are republican because we espouse the republican views of the founders of our once great Republic. We would never even consider merging with another party without giving deliberate, careful consideration. We will not compromise, or give opportunity to compromise our convictions and ideals.
The Jefferson Republican Party would never make a major move without notifying all of our members well in advance. In the past we have entered into alliances with other like-minded parties, such as the Constitution Party of New York. In those cases we carefully considered the alliance, and all the members were allowed to vote on the matter. We do not want to suprise the public or the members of the Jefferson Republican Party.
Regarding Mr. Cobrasci and his "United Jeffersonian Party", we have very little information on who he is, or where he believes he has received the authority to make the claims he has made in the last few days. Mr. Cobrasci mentions that he has been in contact with Mr. Carl Whitaker of the JRP-Tennessee. As of yet, we have received no confirmation or denial of this claim from Mr. Whitaker and our members in Tennessee.
Future updates on this situation will continue to be made as the information comes available.

Very good, Ray
I still am puzzled by this falsehood and even more so by no one other than apparently Whitaker knowing about it.

I'm still scratching my head as well. The only thing that it served to do was to make us look like morons and destroy the credibility that we have striven to achieve and maintain over the last two years.
I don't think it made US like morons since it was not a JRP member making the claims. What happened if Carl was involved would be akin to me stating the Constitution Party had "merged" with us to form the JRP when you and I left!

Agreed. However, I still do not think it helped our public image any. It could have been worse, though, if we had not been on top of things as we were. I owe that to Noah.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT HERE. THE JRP IS ALIVE AND WELL HERE IN TENNESSEE. "WORDS IN THE WIND" PEOPLE ARE WANTING TO KNOW WAHTS GOING ON.. I THINK IT IDS VERY MUCH TIME WE GIVE A GREEN LIGHT TO SOME ACTION IN THE JRP. I HAVE A WEB SITE YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT FIRST. WWW.CARLWHITAKERFORGOV.COM AND WWW.CARLWHITAKER2010.COM THEN MAKE UP YOUR MIND..
God Bless you and JRP

The sites look good, Mr. Whitaker. We wish you all the best in your efforts for governor of the Volunteer State.
