The time to ACT is fast approaching!

With each day that passes, the saying made famous by former Arizona Cardinals coach Dennis Green becomes more and more true...after squandering a lead and eventually losing to the Chicago Bears, Coach Green went on a tirade in his post game press conference. "They are who we thought they were!" are the words Coach Green used to describe the Bears. The Bears were a juggernaut, manhandling all of their opponents during the season until they met the lowly Cardinals. But Coach Green saw the Bears weaknesses and knew if his team executed, that they could beat the vaunted Bears. The problem the Cardinals had, was that they could not stick to the game plan and execute the plan for the full game.
Fast forward to today, and while candidate Obama did a masterful job of playing used car salesman and convincing many moderates/independents and even a whole bunch of RINOS that he was going to be different, a leader who would lead from the center and bring the nation together, we now know that Obama is who we thought he was. A big government socialist, with an agenda to dramatically expand the size of government, further increase the number of people dependent on government to live their lives for them (thereby increasing the voting bloc of the Democrat Party) and undertake what is about to be the largest redistribution of American wealth in the history of our great country. President Obama is who we knew he was.
There are people like Rush and Newt who are famous and popular, who host shows and write books and make millions, yet never seem to actually drive any action. Couple that with the fact that we must finally take action and force change in our country before it is too late, and Take Back The Republican Party has been born.
We will soon be officially launching Take Back The Republican Party, on a platform of ideals that more than 75% of Americans agree with:
- Lower Taxes for All Americans! We have been led to believe that you are either for tax cuts for the middle class, or you are for tax cuts for business, but that you can not be for both. TBTRP vehemently disagrees. We believe the only real position to take is to be in favor of tax cuts for ALL AMERICANS.....individuals and businesses. In fact, we propose and recommend a 50% tax cut for individuals and businesses. This WILL absolutely spur the kind of economic growth we need to emerge from this recession stronger than ever.
- Less Government! Reducing taxes by 50% will not require a 50% reduction in the size of the federal government and we know this to be true because history has proven that any time taxes are cut, tax revenues are not affected in the same way. You see, tax cuts spur business growth and consumer spending which increase the taxes paid to government. So, a 50% decrease in taxes should be accompanied by a 35%-40% reduction in the size of the federal government. Per the US Constitution, the federal government has but two duties. Provide for the national defense and settle disputes between the states. The fact of the matter is that ANYTHING other than these two things that our federal government does is unconstitutional. Not to mention the looks I get when I ask people, "What would happen if the federal government shut down tomorrow?" The overwhelming majority of Americans would not even notice!!!!!! We need to take a hard look at our federal government and eliminate all unfunded federal mandates and eliminate all agencies that are not directly involved in providing for the defense of our country or settline disputes between states. All other governing decisions need to be made at the state and local level, as the Founders intended.
No More Taxation without Representation! And frankly, no more representation that goes against the wishes of the people. The first American Revolution was the result of a distant government taxing citizens without honest and accurate representation. The same thing is going on today. More than 75% of the American people want lower taxes and less government, yet taxes are going to go up under Obama, and government is already (and has been) growing at an astronomical rate. It is time for the American people to take a stand!
Other items in the TBTRP platform include ending the financial drain on our economy and on our state and local governments caused by illegal aliens; doing everything needed to make our towns and cities safe and free from crime (this includes more police, more DA's, more jails, and requiring that judges follow the laws in sentencing); a return to Self-Reliance and Personal Repsonsibility (we must end the generational dependency on the government that too many people have been born into and accepted); and welfare reform - all government welfare programs have been a total and complete failure. The Great Society, the War on Poverty and other programs have done nothing to shrink the percentage of people on welfare, which is what these programs were designed to do. These programs must be fixed and made temporary. No one of able mind or able body should be allowed to live off the state and not contribute positively to our society. However, these programs should be examined, made VERY temporary and recipients need to be forced to work in order to receive any type of benefit.

We have a tremendous task ahead of us. Or success will be determined by our ability to get people to get off the sidelines and take action.

In the days, weeks, and months ahead, Take Back The Republican Party will formally launch, and we will ask you to get involved, contribute, and get your friends and family involved. Together, we will Take Back The Republican Party, we will take back control of Congress, and we will fix our country.

Take Back The Republican Party
For Today. For Tomorrow. For AMERICA!
