2009: Looking Ahead
As 2009 opens, I wanted wish you, your family and friends a happy and prosperous New Year.
Working together, we will seize the opportunities the new year will bring, and create new ones for our state and the nation. The economic times are challenging, but history has shown Americans have a tremendous capacity and resilience that is so often underestimated by some observers at home, and abroad.
As our state and nation rise to meet these challenges, the Republican Party's mission is to put government on the side of advancing real solutions, not creating more problems. We want to remove the roadblocks to entrepreneurship and private enterprise, not impose new burdens. We want to make California, and America, the best places in the world to do business and create jobs, not watch as people and businesses flee elsewhere to escape government's heavy hand.
The Republican Party is now free to define what it stands for, and demonstrate that we are on the side of the people, not the side of heavy handed government. Our party must be the party on offense, offering the positive, alternative vision to where the Democrats would take our country, and challenging them when there is a better way. We know that when solid Republican principles of lower taxes, limited government, promoting personal responsibility and a powerful national defense are put into action, they do more to improve people's quality of life than anything our opponents have to offer.
Working with all of our elected officials in Washington, in Sacramento, and throughout our 58 great counties, we will make that case, we will take the battle to the other side, and we will advance the cause of not just the Republican Party, but of freedom and liberty in America in 2009 and beyond.
All my best to you, your family and your friends.
Thank you for your leadership.
Sincerely,
Ron Nehring
CHAIRMAN, California Republican Party
