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.

Americans Deserve Better

President Obama, in 2006 you and 43 other Senate Democrats voted against raising the debt ceiling. At the time you said: “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
What has changed since 2006 that caused you to change your mind, President Obama?
In 2007 and 2008 you didn’t seem to think the debt ceiling vote was important, so you skipped the vote. The buck didn’t stop long with you then, and it doesn’t now.
Americans deserve better.
