2012: The Time To Defeat Obama, Reid, Pelosi
In the fall of 2010, we scored a victory in Congress, taking back the House of Representatives in an historic sweep of 60 seats to take a 242-192 majority.
But winning the House wasn’t enough to actually turn Washington, D.C., away from its dangerous big-government course.
Without both houses of Congress in conservative hands, conservative legislation cannot be passed to stop the big government policies being imposed on our nation.
We simply cannot afford four more years of Obama/Pelosi/Reid liberalism.
The Senate is up for grabs, with liberal Democrats holding a very beatable 53-47 majority. Republicans need to win just four seats to guarantee control of the Senate. But just electing Republicans is not enough -- we must elect conservatives.
While the liberal Democrats have 23 Senate seats up in 2012, there are only 10 Republican Senate seats up for election.
On the House side, there are more than twenty Democrats who have announced they are not running, with more expected to drop out. These openings give conservative candidates opportunities for victory in numerous races.
Conservatives have excellent opportunities to pick up Senate seats in Nebraska, Florida, New Mexico, Missouri, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
We had a victory in 2010. We must build on that and win the Senate and White House. Only then can we break the tight grip that big government has on our lives and our future.
CVF Conservative of the Day
Mike Lee (UT)
A newcomer to the Senate but not to the conservative movement is U.S. Senator Mike Lee. Mike Lee received his first lessons in conservatism at the dinner table from his father, Rex Lee, who was Solicitor General for President Reagan. Mike's father instilled in him a deep respect for the Constitution and the principles of the founding fathers.
This respect for the Constitution served him well as a legal clerk for future Supreme Court Justice Judge Samuel A. Alito, Jr. Senator Lee has a well-deserved reputation for his strong support of the U.S. Constitution. He also was the chief sponsor in the Senate of the "Cut, Cap and Balance" initiative that would have started us on the road to a balanced budget and drastically cut spending.
Senator Lee led the 2010 uprising against politics as usual. He defeated an incumbent U.S. Senator in the Utah Republican Convention, then won the primary, and then the general election.
Mike Lee is already establishing himself as the leading constitutional conservative in the Senate. He has proved over his long legal career that he has the sound judgement and keen understanding of the Constitution that is so desperately needed on Capitol Hill. Conservative Victory Fund was honored to be able to help elect such a dedicated and principled conservative to the U.S. Senate.
