Time for New Republican Leadership
Posted by: Scott W. Graves | 07/16/2008 12:42 PM
The Spirit of '94 initiative was born out of sincere and justifiable frustration with the current slate of Republican leaders in the United States Congress. It is an initiative led by grassroots Republican activists in both the donor and business communities.
The effort was the result of the overwhelming response to two articles. The first was titled, We Refuse to Support a Permanent Minority written by members of the Lincoln Club of Orange County and published in Red County magazine. That was followed immediately by an outstanding article in the Washington Post titled, Ultimatum to the GOP, by columnist Robert Novak.
More than twenty five years ago, Ronald Reagan articulated a vision for America and the role of government that was embraced by the American people. For the first time in many years, a Republican was clearly communicating the values of the political right. With the notable exception of Newt Gingrich and 104th Congress, Republicans have stumbled in further communicating how America should confront the important issues of the day.
From energy, health care, and education to the Republican hallmarks of lower taxes, less bureaucracy, and fiscal responsibility, the Republican leadership in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate have failed us... and failed America.
Come this November, regardless of who prevails in the election as next president, it is incumbent upon all Republicans to help identify and elect a new slate of Republican leadership.

WOW! Hat tip to the Lincoln Club of Orange County - I wish all the Lincoln Clubs were like this!
ok, this sounds good.
Before I sign this petition. I'd like to be sure this is not an effort to replace one bad apple with another. What specifics can this effort offer other than earmark reform to inspire more of us weary republicans to join this cause?
I'm sure there are some anonymous members of the OC Lincoln club who could provide more details.
