Dear Patriot,
With political games being played with the debt ceiling and the federal budget, it's refreshing for us to see great patriots like Sen. Rand Paul and Sen. Mike Lee speak the truth. These Senators, who were elected on a wave of tea party support last year, are standing up to the dinosaurs in the Senate left over from the Bush administration. These dinosaurs, like Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and Orrin Hatch, were leading the GOP when it lost its way, running up massive debt while Republicans controlled all three branches of government!
Now these dinosaurs want to force through a sham of a debt ceiling deal, and the freshmen Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee are telling them, "Not so fast." They've introduced their own version of Cut-Cap-Balance, a bill that will actually cut trillions of dollars in spending, rather than just purport to do so. The bill will also send a balanced budget amendment to the states as a condition of raising the debt ceiling. Speaker Boehner's plan, in contrast, merely requires a vote on the amendment.
Western Representation PAC is particularly proud of our support for Rand Paul in 2008. We need more Senators like Rand Paul and Mike Lee, and we are looking ahead to 2012 to see where we can make an impact. The electoral map is ripe for tea party candidates, and we will be active in states like Utah, Texas, Montana, and Nebraska.
It's not enough for the GOP to take control of the Senate, but Conservatives need to take control of the GOP.
Thoughts just off Center comment: I do not contribute to special interest groups and I believe that all lobbying from them should be made illegal. However, I have no problem with them talking to or sending the American people information to read and think about when forming decisions about the various issues that confront our nation. The above was received via email from Dustin Stockton, Co-Founder of Western Representation PAC.
