Sen. Rick Santorum

“I am pleased to join the list of outstanding leaders who will speak at SRLC this year,” Santorum said. “We are at a turning point in American history: We can accept the liberal policies that have jeopardized American prosperity, or we can return to our roots of liberty and smaller government that have empowered Americans to achieve. SRLC will be an essential component in motivating leaders to take back our country.”
“We are honored to have Rick Santorum join us in New Orleans,” SRLC Director Charlie Davis said. “Senator Santorum has long been an unwavering voice for the fundamentals of the GOP, and his leadership will be vital to ensure a comeback for our party and our principles.”

Liberty Features Syndicate (William Warren, January 5, 2010)
With the historic election of Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts last Tuesday, the American people look forward to the midterm elections in 2010.
With Americans wary of an unpopular Congress, an unfavorable president and destructive policies of both, the GOP is poised to make a comeback of extraordinary lengths, focused specifically on returning the country back to its roots of small government and individual freedom.
In an article in the Belmont Citizen-Herald of Belmont, Mass., Republican gubernatorial candidate Charles Baker explained that he and other candidates feel empowered by Brown’s win and that the victory changes the landscape of American politics.
“And I think we’re going to see a bunch of really good, regular local people jump into a bunch of these rep and Senate and congressional races. And they’ll be real candidates, because they’re going to be talking the same stuff voters wanted people to be talking about in this race, which is: what are you going to do about getting people back to work, and will you please stop spending my money like it’s my money, instead of like it’s your money,” Baker explained.
This sense is not limited to partisan stumping on the Right. Julian E. Zelizer, a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University, echoed these sentiments in a special to CNN.
“This could very well just be a taste of things to come,” Zelizer said. “Most likely, the midterm elections won’t be good for the Democrats.”
Early polling indicates that the forecasts of both Zelizer and Baker could come true. According to Rasmussen’s Generic Congressional Ballot, the average American would vote for a Republican over a Democrat in any house race, 45 percent to 37 percent. Rasmussen reports that “Republicans have been ahead by nine points—their largest lead in several years—while support for Democrats has fallen to its lowest level in years.”
You have an incredible opportunity to be a part of the GOP comeback. The time is now. Register to be a part of the Southern Republican Leadership Conference and find out how.

What a difference a year can make! Just 365 days ago, Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. Since then, the President, along with liberal Democrats in Washington, have been pushing their radical agenda for higher taxes, more federal spending, stimulus packages and a healthcare bill that would bring the American economy to its knees.
Running on the platform of Hope and Change, President Obama promised that his vision for the country would turn our economy around, provide more jobs, and bring America back from the brink of financial ruin. However, after he had just a few short weeks in office, Americans woke up to realize that nothing had changed. The President’s Hope and Change was a lie! With the President backing a healthcare reform bill that would make it illegal to not have coverage and Democrats having a Super Majority, all hope seemed lost of ever defeating such a dangerous bill. Americans watched as the Democrats had their way with this great country.
However, with a strong grassroots campaign that grabbed opportunity by the horns, Scott Brown and conservatives from around the country worked together to ensure a conservative victory much like the ones in New Jersey and Virginia. For the first time in 40-plus years, a Republican was elected to represent the state of Massachusetts, defeating Democrat Martha Coackley with 52% of the vote. While the mainstream media will characterize this as a fluke, many are seeing a new light beginning to shine. With the 2010 elections just around the corner, now more than ever conservatives need to make their voices heard.
The conservative movement is alive and well in this country. Democrats are shaking in their boots.
Christie…McDonnell…Brown…what’s next?
