Log Cabin Republicans ended their 2007 National Convention Sunday in Denver, Colo. May 6. The convention, which lasted for four days, concluded with a commitment to return the Republican Party to what the Log Cabin Republicans called "GOP core values."

"Our grassroots membership leaves this convention feeling energized and optimistic about the future of our Party and of this organization," Patrick Sammon, Log Cabin president, stated. "We are committed to helping build a new sustainable governing majority that refocuses our party on its core values."

Throughout the convention, members of the organization, which bill itself as "the nation’s largest organization of Republicans who support fairness, freedom, and equality for gay and lesbian Americans," received training in organizing grassroots support and discussed their goals for the future of their party.

Members also heard from party leaders who shared their goals. "Don’t give up on the Republican Party. Don’t stereotype the party on a few cuckoos who never give up on their bitterness, hostility, and venom. Don’t be impatient. Stay in the party. Don’t leave because you can change it," urged Alan Simpson, former senator from Wyoming, in a speech.
