The independently-created RPVNetwork online forum has seen a “We Support Chairman Jeff Frederick” group form.
RPVNetwork, as many of you know, is a sort of Facebook / YouTube / Flickr for Virginia’s GOP grassroots activists (over 1,000 have signed up so far) and is the brainchild of O.P. Ditch and Tom Whitmore. (We’ve been plugging people to join RPVNetwork since its inception — if you haven’t already, get over there and do so NOW!) It is important to note that the group is independent of RPV as any member can start any group or discussion that they please.
So far, 83 people have signed up for the group supporting Jeff. Willie Deutsch founded the group on RPV Network with this mission statement:
Last year the grassroots elected Jeff Frederick as RPV Chairman. Ever since then the party insiders have been nitpicking his every move and pressuring him to resign. If you support Jeff Frederick, please join and invite your friends to join.
So, are we seeing the build-up to a classic insiders vs. grassroots battle looming over the future of Jeff? We’ll soon see…
Filed under: Jeff Frederick, Republican Party of Virginia
Thats funny, I know the kid that started the group. He used to go to church with my wife. I would guess there are only a few who will join the group.
Jim,
I need to correct your statement: “any member can start any group or discussion that they please.” That is sort of true, but we insist that the group have a positive impact on our mission. Please read the Mission statement.
Negative groups and discussions are not acceptable to the founders. We have already deleted a “negative” group. And we have done so with some blogging posts.
There was a group that advocated removing Jeff Frederick, but they were banned.
You had to know this would happen. Doubt it will work.
On another topic, I think I’ve found the perfect guy to replace Mr. Frederick. Take a look at him and tell me what you think.

Seems to me if the party’s elected officials, elected central committee members, and a growing number of grassroots folks are considering removing the chair they should probably have as much right to form a group and expound as the pro-JF people do.
The ‘grassroots’ label is tossed around a lot these days. Just because you start a group online and get some friends to join it, it does not mean that group represents the ‘grassroots’, in so much as folks try to make that synonymous with the hard working, regular volunteers in the party. There are lots of people, myself included, that don’t really ‘network’ online, and support having Jeff step down. From talking w/ friends, there are plenty of others that fit in this category. To frame this as an “insiders” vs “grassroots” battle is framing it as Jeff would want it— those “disconnected, politically connected insiders” vs the grassroots, aka the volunteers and ‘foot soliders’ of the party. I’d say that’s not what this is.
The statement of the RPV Network purpose says ” To let them (members) share information concerning events, campaigns and issues in order tobuild a stronger more unified party going into the future. O.P. Ditch, the founder, has made a mockery of that statement with his recent actions.
The group to Support the removal of Jeff Frederick was taken down less than three hours of being notified that is was up. The administrators asked for a statement on site by group organizer to insure decorum and civility and that was done. After the internal message from one member to another was read by Network folks asking if organizer was going to get a email blast to all members and would we get a more prominent spot in the group listing the site went down. In four minutes it went down. Now for the second time an email blast has gone out for the support Jeff site. A Republican who stops debate must be one of the good ole boys cause in my world as an activist and Party member we encourage it.
Here is the letter I wrote to the originator of Network, which by the way he never responded. Maybe he will here in an open forum where all can see.
Mr. Ditch,
I would hope that a person who is a member of the Republican Party of VA thinks censorship is a thing found in communist Russia, Cuba and East Germany. But alas, it is alive and well in Virginia and propagated by our own Party. But how can this be? Surely one would look at the extremely negative opinion that will be formed when members are made aware of such an action. What do you and the Network administrators fear from the voice of the grass roots? Could it be a overwhelming sense of paranoia? Or is it the reality of the situation and the enormous outcry for Chairman Frederick to go. How does a man that obliviously cares about the Party and its health demonstrate to its grass roots patrons that their voice should be squelched? Maybe you should reread the letter I sent to Patricia Phillips and reread her response. Then look back at our founders and the Veterans since the Revolution who have paid in blood for the right of free speech. What triggered the removal? Maybe the private communication between two members questioning whether we would receive equal treatment in regard to notifying all members of a new group or where the group could be found. O. P., you are squandering an opportunity of goodwill and fair play which only you can set it right. You proudly bear the seal of the Republican Party of VA, yet today you tell 80 % of the elected members of the SCC and their constituents that their voice and opinion does not count. Remember the Seal belongs to all members of the Party.

I have seen and heard speculation that there are some nefarious reasons why Frederick should be removed. I’ll assume for the moment, there are (whether manufactured or legitimate.) If there are serious issues which warrant the removal of Mr. Frederick, why not bring the facts of the matter to the Convention (which is the proper venue for such party business) and let the rank and file membership decide? Are there such damning issues underlying this mess that would detract from the Party’s nominating process? In my opinion (worth exactly 2 cents), the RPV should be transparent and open with its business and we should deal with this according to generally accepted practices of party business.
OPDitch,
Wouldn’t the “Support Jeff Frederick” group be considered a “negative” group and therefore, a violation of the RPVnet policies? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
This is Ea pretty clear vote 8% Jeff 92% Jeff’s gotta go
Thats what the grassroots think !
I hear the VA State Senate vote was even more one sided, all but one against Frederick.
Charlie Fugate:
The “generally accepted practices of party business” is for the State Central Committee to do it, not a convention.
I came home today to a message on my answering machine from the “save Jeff” folks. He is running this like a campain. I voted for the guy but if its better for the party he needs to leave. A inner war will not help the strong ticket we should have this fall. I am afraid he intends to damage the party as much as he can on the way out the door.
As the author of the group, I just want to say two things,
1) we now have the largest group of any on the RPV Network. More even than Bob McDonnell’s, and so far 38 people have joined the group today.
2) Jeff is not the one bringing this issue up and dividing the party. He was going about his job as party chair, which resulted in a win in Fairfax two days ago, when the state central committee came after him
We elected SCC also, and I trust them more than I trust Jeff. I know the members of the ninth fairly well, much better than I will ever know Jeff. If they say he must go i believe them. Jeff seems to enjoy trouble, or maybe it just follows him.
And by the way, 106 members of a group isn’t enough to notice. Jeff got thousands of votes last year but has very, VERY little support now. Something has changed.
Nobody should be under any illusions that this whole thing is anything other than politics – and I don’t mean the “let’s elect Republicans kind.”
The SCC has leveled then leaked charges that could poison the primary in Jeff’s seat, which is probably the most democratic house seat in republican hands if you look at November’s election. We’ve had that seat since the mid-80′s but even the local supervisor is worried about it. The SCC is either oblivious of this or doesn’t care.
I wish the Democrats had a State Central Committee that took as good care of their party…
Willie, are you really saying Jeff Frederick had ANYTHING to do with Cook’s victory in Fairfax?
I think just about anyone actually on the ground there will tell you and the rest of the party otherwise.
And–by the way–if you’re somehow still going to claim Jeff is responsible for this one win, you’ll then admit he bears responsibility for losing the Presidential race, multiple congressional seats, and two special elections also on his watch. Right?
If anyone thinks Frederick isn’t now going to have to be dragged out with his fingernails scraping the sidewalk they’re delusional.
This psycho is doing robo-calls and will do whatever he has to, party he supposedly serves be damned, to hold on to his only remaining perch.
Regarding the Robo Calls, it yet again appears that opponents of Frederick are positively eager to believe the worst about him. Here’s what’s being reported in the Washington Post:
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/virginiapolitics/2009/03/frederick_supporters_launch_ma.html
In a letter to members of the Republican State Central Committee, who will decide on April 4 whether to remove the chairman, Frederick said he did not authorize the robocall.
“I want to make it emphatically and clearly known that in no way did I have or had any involvement in the planning or execution of these calls, nor did I have prior knowledge these calls were going to be made.,” Frederick said. “As of this writing, I still do not know what person or organization is behind this effort.”
Jason Kenney has the complete text of the letter at Bearing Drift:
http://bearingdrift.com/2009/03/12/pro-frederick-robocalls-begin/
How in the HECK could anyone believe that Frederick’s not behind this now?
I quote, from his very own email to SCC members:
“The way I see it, there are three possible directions things will go over the next 30, 60, or 90 days:
1. Success in the efforts of some of you to remove me (which will be a very public and damaging fight)…”
Wake up and smell the coffee people.
Here are the facts, and I am not going to inject the fact that we have lost VA to the Democrats etc…Elections happen, national moods happen and not all of this is Jeff Frederick’s fault, even I, a staunch anti-Jeff person can admit.
The truth is, Jeff Frederick has failed in his duties as Chairman of RPV.
To refute the points made by the Jeff followers, this is not some “small” group of elites, it is over 75% of the State Central Committee. 3/4’s of the members put their names to the paper asking Jeff to resign. Many of these people used to support Jeff, so it is not the Hager people that are driving this train, it is the leadership that have had to work with Jeff and come to the conclusion that Jeff cannot be worked with.
Many have questioned why this letter has not been released. Why the Executive Committee is keeping it secret etc…Jeff Frederick and the 25% of State Central Members also have the letter and they are NOT releasing it either. The reason? Because even those who wish Frederick gone are respectful enough to realize this is an internal party matter and that they need to show Jeff the respect of not plastering “charges” all over the Internet. Furthermore, I would ask why the “pro-Jeff’s” won’t release it since he has done nothing wrong?
However, the Jeff Frederick crowd have made releasing these details tempting by these erroneous, and very obscene robo-calls. This type of conduct is immature, and obscene. We are adults, and we should act like it. Plastering Mike Thomas’ cell all over creation is disrespectful, and shows, again, the lack of judgment that Mr. Frederick has. Of course, he has denied knowing anything about it. My question is simple: The call went to a selected list that only a few people have: Where did the phantom robo-callers get it?
It is true Jeff Frederick was overwhelmingly elected last year. I accept that. In fact, I walked up and shook his hand, and pledged to work with him to improve the Republican Party. But, this vote total does not absolve him of responsibility to this Party. Barack Obama was elected with an overwhelming amount of Electors, and no one who reads this believes that the Senate and House do not have a responsibility to ensure he follows the Constitution, and if not, impeach him. The same rules apply to Jeff. Yes, he won and No, he does not get a blank check to do with what he pleases.
Now, I know a lot of the charges that Jeff is being brought up on, and some of those are not for public knowledge. But, for starters, what about Jeff Frederick charging RPV $1200 per month for an office in Dumfries? Is that an acceptable use of YOUR donations? Should that money go to repairing the Party? Perhaps Jeff using his own company to run certain projects for RPV through? Is that following the “sunshine” policies he promised when he ran for Chairman?
The answer to these questions is a NO.
As much as the pro-Jeff movement would like to categorize this as a moderate vs. conservative push, it has absolutely 0% to do with that. I know members of Executive Committee, some more conservative than Jeff. This has to do with leadership. Ask the State Central Members who support Jeff to point to one thing he has done to improve the image of the Party and to help our candidates. You will be hard-pressed to find anything.
The State Central body is not, and never has been a policy making body. They don’t argue Roe V. Wade, they don’t talk about taxes, they are the governing body of the Party, and they are supposed to and DO work on the mechanics of the Party. Making sure it functions to the betterment of our candidates in various elections.
If you want Jeff Frederick to stand up against low taxes, fine: vote for him for Delegate, his job as Chairman has NOTHING to do with issues, its about being the face of the Party, and he fails at that job.
Many of you received a robo-call today that called this a “beheading” of the Party, and are the “elites” trying to make the calls. Friends, that is not what this is. This is about restoring accountability and leadership. You see what Jeff forgot was that while he won with 60% of the vote in a convention with people that do not work with him every day, he had to govern with a body that was not as sharply divided. Almost the entire Executive Committee endorsed Hager, but WERE willing to work with Jeff. As the old adage goes, “Never make major departures with small majorities.” Jeff lost sight of that saying and instead attempted to ramrod and railroad his way through everything. When he did not get his way he throughout accusations such as they are “mean” and “won’t work with me.” This nonsense is 100% categorically untrue. I know for a fact that the Executive Committee was willing to work with Jeff.
The one last point I will make is that at the RPV Advance, I was in the room when Jeff made some comments to the State central Committee that blew me away. As I am not a member of SCC, I was simply carrying a proxy. I had also attended when Chairman Hager ran the meetings, so I compared the two. Jeff was smug, coy and arrogant. He pushed a budget through, even know his Executive Committee had urged him not to move forward because they needed more time to examine it. This budget by the way had $1000 a month going to Cleta Mitchell our RPV Counsel at the time. At no time in the history of RPV had we ever paid our Legal Counsel, but Jeff had buried it in the budget. It was finally brought up and overwhelmingly vote down. This is but one example of needless expenses that RPV was spending under his “management.” But, beyond that, he was condescending to many people in the room,such as Jim Rich. Regardless of your opinion of Jim (I like him a lot,) he is a District Chairman and should be shown proper courtesy AS ALL members of State Central should. As Chairman, he did not display an aura of leadership or confidence. It was at that point that I was 100% sure we had the wrong man for the job.
Friends, this is not about issues, or court cases, or taxes or abortion. Its about managing the Party and winning elections. Jeff Frederick has almost 11 month’s to bring people together. It could have been done, but he failed to do it. He does not show he is ready to lead, and his conduct since this removal has begun only reinforces that. Please listen to me when I say this IS NOT A MODERATE VS. CONSERVATIVE issue; its about Leadership, plain and simple.
Please call your State Central Member and ask them to vote for a new direction on April 4th, 2009.
On the question of the robo call, perhaps Jeff said “Will no one rid me of this troublesome First Vice Chairman?”
I’ll never believe he has nothing to do with that robocall campaign. Or maybe it’s his wife – just like they don’t really know who’s running their family PAC.
Riley – when are you taking down that Draft Amy Frederick tab?
He promised a nasty divisive fight and he’s delivering it. He will absolutely end up totally discredited (of course he’s already there with me, but any stragglers will soon catch on).
I left the network because of the censorship. I support Mike Wade’s right to free speech.
The support group on RPVNetwork has added 50 members over the last 24 hours. I guess maybe this group can teach SCC what real grassroots is about. Now there are over 120 members to support Jeff in such a short time, wait until it has more time to grow and publicize the groups existence and see how big it is in a week.
Mike Wade,
You say in one of your post above how in your grassroots activists world you encourage debate. How full of yourself are you Mike. You really only encourage debate when it favors you. Everyone knows how you tried to shut down Bob Marshall’s opportunity and how you worked twice as hard to defeat him once you found out that Ron Paul supporters also supported Bob Marshall. How you can claim to know anything about true grassroots while trying to dismiss the voices of some and only allow it for others is confusing to me. I guess the same would be the case where I hear some of your 3rd District members telling about your comments in trying to shut down the debate over Patrick Muldoon and his voice in challenging the incumbent LG Bill Bolling. Shouldn’t you as a member of SCC encourage people to run for office and respect their wish to do so. Shouldn’t you as a District Chairman try to remain neutral in such cases if you valued the integrity of your position.
The fact Mike is that you only encourage debate when it suits you.
Steve Waters
STEVE WATERS, IT HAS BEEN A FULL 48 HOURS SINCE YOU LAST ADVOCATED FOR PATRICK MULDOON ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD! Why are you now cowering away from spreading the Word?
Just as the Lord visited a thousand pox upon Job to test his faith, so has the Lord sent weak-willed false prophets such as you to test the mettle of true Muldoon supporters! It is clear to me now that you are a traitor who has done less than anyone for the righteous Muldoon cause but wishes to bask in all of the glory.
Renounce your pride, Waters, or the Lord shall turn your tongue into a writhing mass of a hundred maggots and locusts shall burst forward from your gut! Demons will grind your bones into fertilizer and use it to grow a cursed red tomato (the tomato grown will be red because it is bathed in the blood of the innocent not just because tomatoes are red) and the tomato will be fed to Bolling supporters to nourish their unholy tyrannical regime!
Steve Waters, where will you be when the Four Horsemen come to raze mankind’s kingdom of sin? Will you be off hiding from fate just as you hide from being a true advocate for Patrick Muldoon? Will you be cowering in some department store behind a shelf of women’s underwear hoping that the Horsemen won’t find you?! A DISPLAY CASE OF PANTIES WON’T SAVE YOU FROM GOD’S WRATH, STEVE WATERS!!!!
Patrick Muldoon for Lt. Governor!
Steve,
Looks like your coming to the support of your number 1 backer in our party… well maybe number 2 wouldn’t want to discount Morgan Griffiths support of your so-called candidate. Why don’t you just admit you are behind those calls. You and Morgan and Muldummy your tool of a candidate. So now you are so desperate for “revenge” that you willingly support someone as dishonorable and sad as Jeff.
Now tell me what is this paranoid fear you have of everyone around you and your bunch of pathetic rejects (Marshall, Muldummy, McSweeney, and Morgan G.). Obviously if you think Muldummy is going to win the LG race you must be smoking some serious weed. Don’t you know that stuff makes you paranoid. Shame on you Steve… Just say No to drugs. Just like the State Central Committee is going to Just Say No to Jeff on April 4th and to your PATHETIC candidate Muldummy in May.
Sword of 1000 Truths: I have a question about the tomato. Is it a store-bought tomato or a homegrown tomato? Because I just LOVE homegrown tomatoes, and would work extra hard for Bolling if it means I get extra homegrown tomatoes.
So we are supposed to believe Jeff because he sent an email out denying he knew about the robo calls.
Does anyone remember just days before when he sent out an email saying he as going to be on the road for five days and could not meet with anyone ?
Wasn’t that the day he hid in his office at RPV and ran out the door like a roach while Mike Thomas was waiting to meet him ?
And didn’t he have a meeting scheduled for staff the next day at RPV.
Maybe he isn’t a roach maybe he is just a weasel.
The man just can’t tell the truth. Just ask his fellow legislators. Not a single one stood up and said they were sorry to see him go. NOT EVEN BOB MARSHALL who did stand up and talk about a democrat who was leaving.
Mr. Waters please tell us why Bob wouldn’t stand up for Jeff.
I can’t believe what has happened to the RPV in the 2 1/2 years since I moved from Prince William County to Texas. At the time of my departure, I knew that the RPV bordered on incompetent, but the true measure of its incompetence wasn’t uncovered until its disastrous performance in the 2008 Election. Back in Virginia for a brief visit and browsing the Virginia blogosphere, I discover that the mental giant Jeff Frederick is Chairman of the Party. WTF?! Talk about an “Alice down the rabbit hole” experience! Suddenly the abysmal 2008 performance makes perfect sense. How on earth did that self-aggrandizing tool make it to the pinnacle of the Party? Never in my wildest nightmares did I expect that Frederick would make it more than one term, much less end up running the party. I admit that as a former Virginia resident, my opinion counts far less than that of the folks who’s daily lives are dedicated to the Machinations of Virginia politics but let’s face it, the actions of the RPV directly contributed to the election of the Socialist Obama. Now my idyllic life in faraway Texas is effected, and I fear that unless the RPV gets it act together, we’ll see more of the same in the future. Republicans throughout the country understand that the war for the future of the United States requires (to use a much-maligned term) a “50 State” strategy. The RPV can’t expect to contribute to the winning of that war with a Chairman who’s main talent is self promotion. I can’t believe that this is the best that Virginia Republicans can muster. There must be others. If not, I shudder for the future of Virginia, the Republican Party and the country. For all of our sakes, Frederick must go! And to those who believe that Amy Frederick is qualified to take her husband’s place in the House of Delegates…please step away from the kool-aid…
Good to see you, Joe. I haven’t seen you in person since you pulled out of your driveway next door in your Mustang headed for the Lone Star state!
Am I the only one a little put off by the Muldoon campaign’s new logo? What were you thinking Steve Waters?
http://g.imagehost.org/view/0271/MULDOON2009
I would like to share with all of you why I think this conversation about Jeff Frederick is nothing more than a distraction from the real story, how Patrick Muldoon is sweeping Virginia with support like a hurricane ravaging the land. While you heretics would dare smear the name of this honorable fellow, I would like to share with my revelation that led me to support this man.
I was walking down a creek when suddenly a flash of light so strong and so powerful came before me that I fell to the ground, quivering from head to toe. And before me stood the most beautiful and pure woman with a glow of radiant light hovering above the water. I begged for mercy and pleaded that she let me be. Then suddenly a voice rang out so strong that I thought I might fall deaf, and lo, from her bosom came a brochure with the face of Patrick Muldoon.
I sobbed and asked the deity what she wanted from me. And she said that this brochure would answer all of my life’s questions. She said this brochure would fulfill the prophecy and providence foretold of centuries ago. I knew then that only Patrick Muldoon would serve as the guiding light of policy and providence.
I say to you nonbelievers – a pox on thee who would dare attack Jeff Frederick in an attempt to distract attention from Patrick Muldoon.
Somebody sign into the group so we can see who the 120 misguided screw-ups still covering for Jeff are.
Distance them from any public roles in the RPV and Committees, and we can still win in November.
Let them be the face of the Party in front of voters….and well, we’re screwed.
Bulletproof Monk,
With all due respect, these now 131 people and others who I have been working with who have not yet joined the group represent the heart and soul of the party. We are the people who work tirelessly to volunteer for campaigns, lobby on important issues, and recruit and run for office.
We need to be unifying this party, and insulting a significant wing of this party, and the whole PWCRC when we need Prince William to win is not helping.
We have our reasons for supporting Jeff just as you have yours for opposing him, so let’s please reduce the name calling so we can heal this party after April 4th.
Willie Deutsch
Sorry for my absence, but I must confess I’m not on the blogosphere as much as some would like. Our campaign, however, does enjoy the entertainment value of the blogosphere.
As for all the accusations against Frederick, I’m just saying the process should be fair and transparent. People shouldn’t be allowed to be judge, jury and executioner.
As far as Patrick Muldoon is concerned, SCC doesn’t have the ability to choose who wins or loses at a convention, we will leave that up to those who attend the convention. I happen to know of many good SCC members who are supporting Patrick so we are grateful for that as well.
I will try to pop back in here and again to say hello to all of our friends on the blogs.
Take Care
Mike Wade;
I find it amazing that you could even think about accusing someone else of trying to shut down debate!
How about you trying to deny Marshall’s people the right to address the 3rd District Convention?
How about you and Tucker misleading SCC to sign a letter asking for Frederick’s head on a platter with absolutely zero substantiating evidence provided?
How about your assassination of his character with no proof whatsoever?
Shut down debate?
You ought to know it when you see it!!
You have made a career of shutting down anyone and everyone who disagrees with you or your elected heros.
Don’t give me this “Holy” crap.
You are the poster boy for dirty play, and the standard to which all Chicago politicians could aspire.
It takes a snake to know one, so maybe you have a point.
Tim,
While I will say your attacks on Chairman Wade are false beyond believe. Esp since a Marshall groupie did address the 3rd district convention…
However I’m not writing this to address your paranoid screed but to your last sentence… Are you calling JFraud a snake? Sounds like it to me. I congratulate you on finally coming to the truth. Welcome aboard!
