Today We Begin to Rebuild the Base and Advance Conservative Values

www.LC.org

When the majority of Americans elected Barack Obama, they voted for change over substance and overlooked his left-wing agenda. While the people passed marriage amendments in Arizona, California and Florida, two of those states voted for Barack Obama. When asked to vote on values, they chose traditional marriage, although Obama opposed the marriage amendments.

The majority of Americans do not support Obama's left wing radical agenda, but they wanted change for the sake of change. They wanted new leadership. Conservative leaders have failed to remain true to core values, and the people punished them.

In order to rebuild our base, the leadership must change. Conservatives have abandoned conservative values and have not governed well. Pastors have not communicated well. Schools and universities have not taught well. Conservative ideas resonate with most Americans, but only when communicated clearly.

Today, we begin to rebuild the base. Old leadership must be replaced by new leadership. The values remain the same. The leadership must change.
