Another Limited Government Meeting

Another 55 - 60 people showed up on a Friday night in Hellertown to figure out what to do to advance the principles of limited government. Of course, the media will label them as "extremists". Liberal Senator Arlen Specter will claim that they are "purists" or "fringe elements" or "right wing extremists". No matter, they are organizing.

Limited Government activists are organizing while the GOP is too busy fighting a strategic withdrawal instead of going on the offense against Big Government. GOP "leaders" are too busy looking at phony polls and figuring out how to be "pragmatic" instead of how to fight for basic Republican principles and WIN public support. And, consequently, elections.

Time will quickly reveal the ultimate result of this dynamic. Much like the Whigs in the late 1850's (who adopted a "pragmatic" and "moderate" approach to politics) the Republican Party has some serious choices to make. Being Big Government Lite will be the disastrous path to follow.

This group spans both Lehigh and Northampton Counties. They formed sub-committees to deal with the following issues:

Taxes and Spending
10th Amendment
2nd Amendment
Candidate Recruitment & Support (ONLY for advocates of limited government!)
Membership Committee
Illegal Immigration

There also was discussion about a focused, grass roots education campaign to oppose the ludicrous idea of a government run, taxpayer subsidized railroad company in the Lehigh Valley. Any politician who even claims to be slightly fiscally responsible better wake up.

Sure, even I support the idea of rail service to Philly or NYC. But NOT one that is paid for by taxpayers. These politicians better brush up on their principles and stop looking at phony polls or they might find their base of voters evaporating by the end of the summer.

More to come on that, because a number of organizations are gearing up to oppose this non-sensical idea.
