CCV GOALS AND PRIORITIES



CCV GOALS AND PRIORITY ISSUES

At our initial meeting early in 2010, the Concerned Coastal Voters developed the following major goals for our organization to pursue:

1. To publicly present conservative views in a professional, factual manner and to counter misinformation where appropriate.

2. To research topics of interest at the national and state levels, and share the information among members of our group.
3. To identify and pursue the most effective venues for disseminating factual information related to our priority issues.

4. To expand membership of our group to like-minded persons regardless of their political affiliation.


Some of the Issues We Care Most About:


1. Free Enterprise Economy (e.g., fiscal responsibility, tax policies that promote growth of businesses, jobs, and general prosperity, elimination of unnecessary bureaucracy and regulation)


2. Limited, responsible, and responsive government.


3. Strong national defense, including border security.


4. Adherence by politicians and the courts to the Constitution and the rights of the individual. (e.g., civil rights, freedom of expression, right to bear arms)


NOTE: It's easy to have a copy of each letter/blog sent to you via e-mail. Just put your e-mail address in the "Follow by E-mail" slot (in the right column) and push submit.

The Prince (Letter to Independent Coast Observer)

A recent letter to the ICO (May 6, 2011) dubbed President Obama “the prince of multi-tasking.” The writer pointed out that, for Democrats: “His timeline is not always ours.”  (How Biblical! “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9)
However, as a Republican I am quite pleased because his timeline seems to be ours. He has granted renewable waivers to any business with union or San Francisco affiliation that wants out of Obamacare, backed Sarah Palin’s call to drill for oil in ANWAR (and in vast offshore expanses), extended President George W. Bush’s tax cuts, kept Guantanamo open and will try terrorists there in military tribunals, surged the war in Afghanistan, set a record by deporting 387,790 illegal aliens in 2009, and adopted the Bush Doctrine for the Middle East. Not only adopted Bush’s call for a democratic transition of the region, but for over 60 days – while thumbing his nose at Congress and the War Powers Act – has gone one up on Bush by bombing Libya, while still fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Prince also one-upped President Bush by clearly rejecting a Palestinian refugee “right of return” to Israel as part of a two-state peace settlement.
At this rate Republicans well may wonder why we would run against The Prince in 2012. I’m sure Obama realizes that Democrats won’t be able to get any tax increases through the Republican House; if he declared “No new taxes!” we Republicans might skip running anyone against him. But as Democrats have learned, he can’t be trusted, so he’ll be replaced with a good fiscal conservative; someone who will lead for the good of Americans, not just the unions.
