On today's Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about the Republican Party. With the 2012 election cycle ramping up, we’re asking some fundamental questions: Who is the base of the Republican Party? Who’s leading it? Who’s paying the bills? How has the party changed over the years and what are its principles and goals? Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. What is your opinion of the Republican Party? And what do you want to know about it? It’s Your Call with Rose Aguilar, and you.
