Since I have been in Washington, I have recognized the need for a revitalization and rejuvenation of the Republican Party. Republicans have a proud tradition of upholding Ronald Reagan’s principles of liberty and a vision for the 21st Century. That vision is a America that espouses individual freedom, free enterprise, and common-sense values. Americans are crying out for leadership with courage, principle, and integrity.

This is why I’ve helped create a new conservative group, called Reagan21, which unites Republican leaders from both chambers of Congress. Reagan21 presents a positive alternative to the current majority in Congress. Members of this caucus are committed to several core values:

Integrity- Rebuild American trust and confidence in government
Tax Reform- Increase personal saving and liberty
Budget and Spending - Protect the family budget and maintaining a sound federal spending policy
Entitlement Reform- Personal ownership of retirement security and healthcare decisions
Ethics- Ending all earmarks
Healthcare- Coverage for all under their own personal ownership
Education - End federal intrusion into local education.
Immigration- Enforce the rule of law and border security first.
Energy- Make America energy independent
National Security- Engage extremists by expanding human intelligence & covert capability.

Members of Reagan21 are committed to these policy objectives. We endeavor to advance a new and invigorated Republican Party as best able to guide America’s future in a positive direction.

Expect to hear more from Reagan21 members in the future. For more information go to www.Reagan21.org

Way to go, John!
I was thrilled to see that ending abortion is NOT a core value of the Reagan21 caucus. That huge coalition of pro-lifers has done nothing for the party of Reagan. It's high time we rid ourselves of all those bible thumping Christians. Where do they get off trying to save every human life just because it's supposedly "made in god's image"? If that's true, than why do people look different? What a bunch of BS. The Democrats can have those nutjobs! We should be proud of our nation's fast and efficient "baby killing" heritage, especially as we approach that that magical milestone of 50,000,000 abortions since Roe vs. Wade. Take that, China! We're number 1! Thank goodness people like you are willing to drop the fight over abortion and get on to what really matters, things like tax reform. Because, boy, these marginal tax rates are killing me! Well, not actually killing me like it's a matter of life and death, but still, you know what I mean. I'm a hard worker, and I'm struggling to stay current on my country club dues! I am sure that your completely secular vision of entitlement reform and low corporate tax rates will bring together millions, maybe even billions of voters. It will be just the revitalzation the Rebublican party needs.

Makes Me Nervous
Immigration- Enforce the rule of law and border security first. By this, do they mean before they try to shove another amnesty down our throats?

Link to Reagan21?
Broken? Non-existent? I think it would be good to have up as the Tea Party movement grows. I wanted to link it on my blog.

Right-wing High Tech
The reagan21.org link gets a site-not-found error and the press release link gets page-not-found. Yet another example of right-wing mastery of technology. Is this guy really a congressman? He sounds more like a used-car dealer. He can't even manage to keep his page on the house.gov site up to date.
