If we do not, our party's appeal will continue to shrink," it said....

The RNC will also push for a tone of "tolerance and respect" in the immigration debate,  

create "senior level advisory councils" focused on minority groups, and

establish "swearing in citizenship teams"

to connect with new voters immediately after swearing-in ceremonies.

"We need to go to communities where Republicans do not normally go to listen and make our case," the report says. "We need to campaign among Hispanic, black, Asian and gay Americans and

demonstrate that we care about them, too."...
 
Ari Fleischer, White House press secretary under former president George W. Bush, and Sally Bradshaw, a veteran strategist and top adviser to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, were among those leading the inquiry. Republican National Committeeman Henry Barbour, a GOP strategist and nephew of former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, was also part of the group.
