From: Mike Duncan, RNC Chairman Date: Jan 24, 2007 10:47 PM Subject: A New Agenda Dear *, Last night, President Bush laid out a comprehensive and innovative agenda for our nation for the upcoming year. The President's initiatives focus on issues of importance to all Americans, from foreign policy and the War on Terror to improving access to health care and continuing to grow our economy. Now, we need your help to ensure that his agenda becomes a reality. Here are two ways you can help right now: a.. Write A Letter to Your Editor spreading the word about this bold new agenda a.. Call Talk Radio and tell them why you support the President's agenda, and why they should too. Here are some excerpts from last night's speech which you may find helpful when writing your letters and calling talk radio: a.. "A future of hope and opportunity begins with a growing economy - and that is what we have...Unemployment is low, inflation is low, and wages are rising. This economy is on the move - and our job is to keep it that way, not with more government but with more enterprise." b.. "Five years ago, we rose above partisan differences to pass the No Child Left Behind Act...And because we acted, students are performing better in reading and math, and minority students are closing the achievement gap. Now the task is to build on this success.... The No Child Left Behind Act has worked for America's children -- and I ask Congress to reauthorize this good law." c.. "Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid are commitments of conscience, and so it is our duty to keep them permanently sound.... With enough good sense and goodwill, you and I can fix Medicare and Medicaid -- and save Social Security." d.. "A future of hope and opportunity requires that all our citizens have affordable and available health care.... In all we do, we must remember that the best health care decisions are made not by government and insurance companies, but by patients and their doctors." e.. "Extending hope and opportunity in our country requires an immigration system worthy of America -- with laws that are fair and borders that are secure." f.. "For too long our nation has been dependent on foreign oil. And this dependence leaves us more vulnerable to hostile regimes, and to terrorists -- who could cause huge disruptions of oil shipments, and raise the price of oil, and do great harm to our economy." g.. "For all of us in this room, there is no higher responsibility than to protect the people of this country from danger. Five years have come and gone since we saw the scenes and felt the sorrow that the terrorists can cause. We've had time to take stock of our situation. We've added many critical protections to guard the homeland. We know with certainty that the horrors of that September morning were just a glimpse of what the terrorists intend for us -- unless we stop them." h.. "We've been through a lot together. We've met challenges and faced dangers, and we know that more lie ahead. Yet we can go forward with confidence -- because the State of our Union is strong, our cause in the world is right, and tonight that cause goes on." From his strong focus on ensuring all Americans have access to affordable health care, to using new methods to make American independent of foreign sources of energy, to making sure that America remains safe and secure, President Bush is confronting the challenges of our time with boldness and clarity. Will you stand up and support him today?
