THE MORNING AFTER


7 November 2012

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.
