Log Cabin Republicans have made tremendous progress over the past few months in shoring up our efforts to continue to advocate for the founding principles of the Republican Party and what’s important to our community.  We are grateful for the support of our members and hope we can continue to rely on you.  With the election of Michael Steele to head the Republican Party, we have the best opportunity in a long time to come together with fellow Republicans in an atmosphere of inclusion rather than exclusion.  This will expand our voice across the country.

So, if you haven’t already done so, please pay your membership dues and consider contributions to our Political Action Committee.  We can also use your help in recruiting new members for Log Cabin Republicans, as we seize this opportunity to help Mr. Steele improve our party and restore balance to Washington.  Our government must be accountable to us, the people, and not the other way around.

The “stimulus” package being offered up in Washington right now is better described as The Blue Plate Special.  It is laden with pork.  While Farmer John might find this appealing for his sausage plant, we do not.  This is a bad bill in its current form.

This is not a stimulus plan, unless you call adding a trillion dollars to our national debt stimulating.  This bill is the very thing that Senator John McCain campaigned against last year.  Because we are Republicans who believe in limited government, we applaud the members of the House GOP caucus for standing firm and tall in voting no.  Any plan approved by Congress must provide true stimulus through tax incentives for private sector investment and generation of new jobs.  Creating jobs through an expansion of government has been proven time and again to have the reverse effect over the long term.

We hope that Senate Republicans will come up with a better plan for America.  We also know that bi-partisan efforts are underway in the Senate by those who see the spending plan passed by the House Democrats as unacceptable.  Please lobby your own senators—Republicans and Democrats—about this issue.  Click here to find your representatives’ phone numbers.  It’s important.
