Sen. Jim DeMint at the Defending the American Dream Summit
“It’s freedom that works in America.”-Sen. Jim DeMint
At the Americans for Prosperity Defending the American Dream Summit, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) was awarded the Washington Award. Speaking before a standing room only audience, DeMint spoke about the values our country was founded on: limited government, Judeo-Christian values, and limited taxation. He mentioned that the grassroots activists were instrumental in preventing the health care reform bills from being passed in Congress before the August recess. DeMint also mentioned that there is a greater need for principled and passionate leaders. DeMint reminded those attending the rally that we need to share the principles that our country was founded upon with others to continue shaping the paths of prosperity.
Mark Sanford's Stimulus Smackdown
Mark Sanford gave an eloquent explanation of why he refused South Carolina’s portion of the Stimulus payment in Friday’s edition of Wall Street Journal. Sanford is the exact prescription that the Republican Party needs as a leader and someone who will be a strong contender in 2012.
Look, I feel that anyone who accepts the full stimulus payment is making a huge mistake and passing along the debt to future generations, who might not be able to see the light of day due to the overwhelming debt. Sanford might have accepted some of the payment, but it will no doubt be used to address the current debt situation that South Carolina has been experiencing. Common sense is what we need in a leader, and no doubt, Sanford brings these strengths to the table.
