From Roger Salazar:

We thought you might be interested in the latest developments in the California GOP/Aussie/Canadian/Norquist/H-1B/deportation/hiring scandal that’s been brewing over at Republican headquarters.

Also, we figured you’d enjoy seeing what a number of the state’s top Republicans have been saying in recent days. It doesn’t quite seem like anyone is rushing to the CRP’s defense…

“Our Republican Party is doomed.” -- Former CRP Communications Director Karen Hanretty, in The Hill's Pundits Blog

“State Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring must resign or be fired.” -- Conservative GOP columnist Raoul Lowery Contreras, on CalNews.com

“I believe Ron Nehring, as a result of his actions, has placed the entire CRP board of directors squarely in the hot seat. Each director must now act with resolve and purpose to restore the seriously damaged credibility of our party and all of its political leaders. Otherwise, this sad day will become a sad year.” -- Tim Morgan, Republican National Committee Treasurer and CRP Rules Committee Chairman, in the San Francisco Chronicle

"They either failed to do due diligence and therefore did not know, not only about his citizenship status but the pending lawsuit, or they did know and didn't care. Either their process is broken or their judgment is off." -- Former Senate Republican Leader Jim Brulte in the Washington Post

“Is our COO suing America?” -- Jon Fleischman, CRP Southern Vice Chairman in the Flash Report
