Dear Fellow Conservatives,
I know how you feel this
morning. To steal a phrase from a former president, “I feel your pain”. The
reelection of President Obama and continued Democratic control of the Senate
means we have serious challenges ahead of us.
But I'm writing this to offer
you hope. Since this grassroots movement began just a few years ago, we've
accomplished so very much.
In 2010, we elected a massive
freshmen class of principled conservatives in the House of Representatives. In
2012, we've expanded that caucus by defeating numerous Democratic incumbents
and replacing them with conservative leaders like Jackie Walorski of Indiana,
Andy Barr of Kentucky, Mark Meadows of North Carolina, and more.
We also elected Marco Rubio,
Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and a new fiscally conservative core in the Senate two
years ago. This election, we've expanded their ranks with newly-minted Senators
Ted Cruz of Texas, Deb Fischer of Nebraska, and Jeff Flake of Arizona.
We drove the national political
conversation on our issues of constitutionally limited government, lower taxes, free
markets, and individual liberty. Candidates who ran on and articulated our
message not only created a clear choice for voters but were overwhelmingly
victorious in this election. That is the power of our ideas and our movement.
This election we made millions
of phone calls, distributed millions of campaign materials, and took our
message across our nation. More importantly, we've grown this decentralized,
grassroots community into a larger, stronger, permanent force for freedom. And
we aren't going away.
We've accomplished so much, but
clearly, our work is not done. Thank you for all your hard work and your support.
Take heart and we must never give up.
May God bless and keep the United States of America.
