Mass GOP launches road trip to rebuild

Here is hoping this works and we can rebuild the party from the ground up.

The beleaguered Massachusetts Republican Party is heading out on the road as it tries to rebuild itself from the bottom up.

The party is launching a series of six "MassGOP Grassroots Forums," which it hopes will draw people from different regions of the state with ideas on ways to elect more Republicans and to organize the party at the local level.

The party has been battered for more than a decade, dwindling to just 16 members in the Massachusetts House and five in the Senate.

The first forum is scheduled for Wednesday in West Springfield at the Municipal Office Building.

Other forums are planned for Plymouth, Fall River, Dedham, Andover and Worcester.

Everyone reading this should attend.
