Let’s Get The Party Started
As the host of the first straw poll for the Republican Primary, SRLC is generally regarded as the unofficial start to the presidential cycle. All full-conference registrants and VIP registrants will be able to voice their opinion and vote for our next presidential candidate. And Republicans are ready for some serious action.
We’ve seen the outrage across the country – the tea parties…the town halls…Conservatives are coming together like we haven’t in years to fight back against the Obama machine and SRLC is just the ignition boost we need to get us on track.
We’ve seen the left get off track since Obama took up in the White House. From proposing ideas bordering on socialism (and then using a constant campaign to promote them), to congress members being too scared to hear the truth from their constituents, to focusing on torpedoing Rush’s bid to buy the Saint Louis Ram (yeah, like that’s relevant to the conversation) – the left has illustrated that they really do not understand America, Americans, or what makes both great. It’s no surprise that Barack’s DISAPPROVAL rating has skyrocketed to 49%.
Its time for us conservatives to rev our engines, come up with a plan, and take victory seriously. We have a lot to discuss next year at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, as we kick off the next presidential election cycle off in style in the Big Easy. Hearing from potential candidates and sitting governors, senators, and representatives from across the south is the first step of the process. We must see which of our candidates and elected officials stand strong for our fundamental beliefs. We must also hear from our nation’s leading experts in campaigns, communications, grassroots, so we can be smart and tactical in our approach. And finally, we must each voice our opinions in the first straw poll of the presidential cycle.
Unlike the wooing of the left that bases a high importance on smoke and mirrors, conservatives tend to consider, contemplate, convince and act. This is just the beginning.
