39 Days…


Over the past 20 months, you have heard from me and my colleagues in the House about the importance of this election cycle.

Today I am writing with a clear and immediate message we cannot afford to ignore: 39 Days…that’s all the time left for you to make a difference this election cycle.

I cannot stress this point enough: we are in the final stretch. Democrats are desperate – and without your support Nancy Pelosi will still be holding the Speaker’s gavel in 2011.

That is why the NRCC has launched its 39 Days Campaign. This initiative will provide you with 39 candidates and 39 facts you cannot ignore. Additionally, it lays down a challenge to help raise $39k a day to help keep Republicans on offense down the stretch – and every dollar will go to ensuring victory in November.

Two Steps Closer to Retiring Nancy Pelosi


Since becoming Chairman of the NRCC, I have had one goal – a goal I share with you: to retire Nancy Pelosi. In the next 11 days, we have an opportunity to take two crucial steps, in overwhelmingly Democrat-leaning districts, towards achieving our shared goal. But we cannot sit back and expect victory; we have to go and take it.

On May 18 in Pennsylvania, voters in the late-Congressman Murtha’s district will go to the polls to select his replacement. They are confronted with two clear choices: Tim Burns and Mark Critz. Burns has a history of creating jobs and advocating for smaller government, lower taxes, and now the repeal of the costly government-takeover of healthcare. On the other hand, Mark Critz is a career bureaucrat who would be another dependable vote for Nancy Pelosi. Although he claims he opposes government-run healthcare, he would not vote to repeal it.

Ordering a Code Red


Today, the NRCC launched Code Red — a project intended to provide the public with information on the current state of the healthcare debate while alerting them that the House is the battleground for saving our healthcare freedom.

Additionally, this site provides ways for Americans to contact the Democrats whose arms Nancy Pelosi will be twisting to ensure passage of her healthcare takeover.

My team has created the hashtag #gopcodered for people to spread the word via Twitter about what they are seeing and hearing on the healthcare debate. Any tweets with this hashtag will auto-populate on the Code Red site. I hope you will use it and share it with your friends and other interested parties so that Americans can be fully educated on the backdoor tactics Nancy Pelosi will employ to takeover their healthcare. 

We cannot stop fighting to keep our freedom in healthcare. Just today Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) confirmed that Democrats will move forward with reconciliation if the House can pass the Senate’s healthcare boondoggle. This means that only simple majorities in both Chambers are required for passage – and the ability to filibuster in the Senate is gone. This means that our last hope to keep our healthcare freedom is to stop this reckless agenda in the House.

My colleagues and I will continue to fight for you, but we need you to contact Democrats and let them know they have two choices: vote with Nancy Pelosi or vote with America.
