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.

FREEDOM?


The 4th being so close, I thought I’d write about “Freedom”. Do you have more freedom today than 3 ½ years ago when Obama became president?
 
Do you have the freedom of not having health insurance? Today you’re mandated to have health coverage or you’re taxed and that’s less freedom. Obama promised you could keep the health coverage you had prior to Obamacare, but surveys indicate most large companies are opting for the tax rather than pay the $10,000 to $20,000 per employee to offer health coverage. Welcome to government run health care.
 
You have less freedom to travel. Gas is now nearly double what it was 3 ½ years ago. Economically your freedom to travel has been restricted. Do you feel safer traveling to the border towns near Mexico with all the “Fast and Furious” guns our ATF provided the drug cartels? Do you feel safer traveling to anywhere in the world?  
 
Want that dream home?  Record low interest rates and housing costs are way down, but banks aren’t lending, because of new strict investment laws put into place by Obama. The result is less freedom to purchase a home.
 
How about jobs?  Unemployment is up and you have less freedom to support yourself and family, but you get 99 weeks of unemployment instead. That's 99 weeks of the government controlling and supporting you. There’s also the freedom to get “Food Stamps” since Obama has made that easier. Who wants to work if you can get “Free Stuff”? How about starting a business? Now you’re back to the restrictive health care law making it nearly impossible to start a new business.
 
Where’s the freedom? Do you feel that tightness around your throat? That’s the federal government and Obama strangling you and your future.
