Tuesday, June 20, 2006 New Chairman Pushes Reagan's 11th Commandment All candidates but one sign
"OKLAHOMA CITY(AP) (excerpt) Hoping to avoid giving Democrats ammunition for the general election, all candidates for the Republican primary for governor and all but one of the 5th Congressional District GOP hopefuls have signed a pledge not to say bad things about each other.
The party's new chairman Tom Daxon, engineered the signing of pledges to adhere to what he calls former President Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment prohibiting Republicans from criticizing each other.
Daxon's pledge urges GOP candidates to "refrain from attacking fellow Republican candidates in ways that their Democrat opponents could use in the general election campaign."
The party chairman said he wants Republicans to stay focused on their goals and "not get swallowed up in name calling and petty matters."
