The founding of the
United States was truly revolutionary. For the first time in
history, with the Declaration of Independence, our nation
recognized that our rights - "Life, Liberty, and the
pursuit of Happiness" - were unalienable and endowed by
our Creator, not by our government. The Constitution then
established a Republic designed to preserve these individual
freedoms; and it has endured longer than any other,
primarily because our founders understood that there is an
inverse relationship between the power of the government and
the power of the individual.
The survival of the United States has never been assured.
Our history is proof that we will remain free only as long
as we stay true to the principles of our founding. Today, we
face a multitude of monumental crises. We are at war with
Islamic jihadists, who seek the weapons to destroy our
society. Our government is bankrupted by decades of
overspending on 'cradle to grave' redistributionist programs
that punish success and reward failure, fostering dependence
rather than independence. Our system of public education,
controlled by the teachers' unions, is indoctrinating rather
than educating our children.
Liberty still unites us as Americans, but not all of us
believe our liberty is under attack. We must defend our
Constitution against foreign and domestic enemies and, if
necessary, against government itself when the rights of the
people have been violated. If we lose this struggle, we will
have consigned ourselves to despotism. Government will not
only confiscate most of our pay, it will determine
practically everything we do in our daily lives - from what
we drive to what we eat to whom we choose as a
doctor.
Republicans
across the country are greatly encouraged by Senator
Scott Brown's victory here in the bluest of blue states,
but if we're going to build upon the momentum of our
recent triumphs in Virginia, New Jersey, and
Massachusetts, we must spell out in concrete terms what
common sense conservative policies can do to solve the
'kitchen table' problems families face every day. It's
not sufficient, for example, to say that tax cuts will
stimulate the economy. We need to delineate more clearly
how across-the-board tax cuts directly result in job
creation.
Conservatism means staying true to the principles
upon which our country was founded. Because the spirit of
independence still lives within us, we can reintroduce
Americans to America by reminding them the Constitution
limits government power in order to secure the blessings of
liberty.
I've dedicated my professional life to speechwriting
because the future of the United States depends upon
whether the Republican message resonates with voters. Speechwriting
should be a collaborative process, and I'm always
looking forward to working with existing congressional
or campaign staff. For more information, contact me at 310-903-7029
