Dear Hillsborough County Republican Voter,
As a candidate for Republican State Committeeman, I seek to return the Party to its traditional small-government, conservative roots. Recently, the Orlando Sentinel gleefully reported that in Florida:
“Democratic voters have out-registered Republicans by a nearly 7-to-1 margin since January.”
This is a reversal of the Florida-wide trend in recent years where the Republican Party was growing at either the same rate or faster than the Democrat Party. What has changed? One obvious thing is that our party has rapidly changed from the party of limited Constitutional government and individual responsibility to just another party of big government. If we want to regain our political leadership position in Florida we need to return to our conservative principles. These principles have served us well in the past, and will again.
Politically, I am pro-Constitution, pro-gun, pro-low taxes, pro-liberty, pro-limited government, pro-individual responsibility, pro-life, pro-defense and pro-states' rights. In other words, I am a traditional conservative and strive to uphold the principles of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. I believe that the Republican Party of Florida needs to reflect the values, issues and concerns of all Florida Republicans.
In my current position as a Precinct Committeeman on the Hillsborough County Republican Executive Committee, I have worked daily to re-establish these principles at the county level. If elected, I will work tirelessly to return our Party to its traditional conservative roots at the state level.
I humbly request your vote on August 26, 2008. Together, we can return the Republican Party of Florida to all Florida Republicans and regain our traditional position of leadership in our great State.
