Greetings Fellow Conservatives,
Are you concerned about the future? Do you think your taxes are too high? Do you think government is wasteful? Do you believe that entitlement programs will burden the nation's budget? I am.
As a conservative I am not anti-government- I desire good government. Government should be efficient, transparent, honest, ethical, and responsive.Washington is wasteful, shady, dishonest, unethical, and slow to respond. Our nation deserves better.
Every morning Americans wake up to work hard for their families. These are average men and women- coal miners, welders, mechanics, laborers, secretaries, sales clerks, nurses, waitresses, fire fighters, polics officers, teachers- men and women like you and me. They are motivated by the opportunity and promise of America- to work hard, play by the rules, to own a home, invest, and retire securely. They do not seek new entitlements- but they excpect the institutions of government to work. They expect government to secure the borders, fight crime, keep taxes reasonable, and to be efficient with the people's money. They expect public schools to provide a good education for their children, protect their liberties, and protect the social security trust fund.
Every morning in America politicians wake up to leisurely schedules- luncheons with lobbyists, golfing with major contributors, a speech, a fundraiser, and feel good interviews with the press. They work 3 days a week, waste your money, maintain a system of entitlements that are inefficient and abused, try to tell you how you should live, what to think, what values to accept, and spend your social security on bridges to nowhere.
We deserve better, we deserve a government that works. A government that wakes up everymorning with the people on its mind- not special interests. Together, we can achieve this by being clear, articulate, and persistant. I believe that Americans will stand together and fight the future if we can communicate the right message and provide them the right men and women to bring about change.
