Giving Thanks for New Republican Leadership

Our dismal showing in this month’s elections has achieved at least one tremendous positive for the conservative cause – a new Republican leadership team in Washington.

Last week, U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas was elected Chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) on a platform for sweeping change in management at the organization. This is precisely what I called for in our post-election news release, and bodes well for dozens of House races across the country in 2010. The NRCC is our organization charged with helping House campaigns, both in technical support and funding.

U.S. Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana was elected as our new House Republican Conference Chairman. The Conference coordinates floor activities and debates, along with media activity for our sitting House Republican Members. Rep. Pence is the former head of the House Republican Study Committee, which is the 110 most conservative Members of the House, so his election shows our party is definitely back on the path to our conservative roots.

With these guys now leading our team, we are on the way towards a new party that can win the support of the American people again.

Let’s put our new leadership and our current House Members in our prayers for the coming session of Congress, in which our guys will be playing two years of defense against a liberal Obama-Pelosi agenda to socialize America.

And don't forget Saxby!!

Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving,

John
