FAILURE: RNC Spent $340,00 on Three Day Hawaii Meeting

This is unacceptable. It’s no wonder traditional donors to the Republican National Committee are holding back their dollars. I would recommend that all Republicans hold back their contributions until Michael Steele is replaced as Chairman of the Republican Party.
