Opening Day: Official PAC Baseball Card, Hat, and Signed Baseball
It's Opening Day, and time to have some fun. For me, the first pitch of the Major League Baseball season means that winter is finally over and spring is here. I remember all the fun I had as a parent taking my boys to Fenway Park. We still have season tickets, and I'll be rooting for the Red Sox all season long. But whether you're rooting for the BoSox or for your own favorite team, there's one thing on which we can all agree - the need to keep promoting our conservative agenda and take back Congress in 2010.
I'm troubled by some of the decisions of the Democrat-controlled Congress and the Obama administration. America voted for change, but not this kind of change. We did not vote for a boat-load of new government spending programs that would ensure higher taxes and high deficits as far as the eye can see and that will threaten our currency, our economy, and our future.
At my PAC, we are fighting for policies that will keep America the world's economic and military superpower. Today, as much as ever, conservative principles are absolutely essential to keeping America strong, prosperous, and free.
That's why I am writing you - as one of our key team members - to ask if you'd consider making a contribution of $25, $50, $75, $100, $250, or more, to my PAC. Your generous contribution will enable me to have the resources to help Republican candidates and promote conservative principles so that we can reclaim our majorities in 2010.
And as a special thank you to those of you willing to step up to the plate, we're happy to offer the following gifts to members of the Free and Strong America team:
- For a contribution of at least $25, we'll send you my official PAC baseball card.
- For a contribution of at least $75, we'll send you both the card and our official red baseball cap - so you can display your team color with pride.
- And, for a contribution of $250 or more, we'll not only send you the card and hat, but I will also send you a hand-signed baseball.
It may seem like early in the season, but what we do now will help ensure we have the resources we need to win. Thank you for being a part of our team.

Five for the Future
We're in the second year of a major recession, and we need to get our economy moving again. Americans have already lost some $12 trillion in net worth as their homes plummet in value and their retirement savings are pulverized into dust.Right now, the future course of America will depend in many ways on the decisions of President Obama. Those choices are his to make, whether or not we see eye to eye. We wish him the best, but we won't be afraid to disagree with him when we must.Contrary to what you hear from some commentators on the left, the 2008 elections did very little to settle the most serious differences of opinion in American politics. Some of those issues were hardly debated at all in the fall campaign. As conservatives in opposition, we have a duty to press on ... a duty to state our case with confidence.And we need the help of you, and every other member of our team, to ensure that our voice is heard.That is why I am writing to ask you to take the small, but important step of signing up for a new initiative at my PAC called "Five for the Future." Getting involved is easy. All you have to do is one -- or both -- of the following things today:- First, I encourage you to sign up to make a recurring monthly contribution to my PAC of at least $5. Your monthly donation -- together with the donations of others on our team -- will go a long way toward ensuring we have the resources to support candidates like the Undaunted Dozen who are targeted for sticking to their fiscally conservative principles.
- Second, whether or not you can contribute at this time, I ask that you forward this email to five of your friends and family members and encourage them to get involved with this effort. We need to grow our team as much as possible if we are going to make a difference at this critical time in our nation's history.
America's challenges are great, and we don't get to choose the tests and trials ahead. But we will meet them as conservatives have done before. We will find strength in each other, and answer our opponents with good will and honest words. And we will go forward -- confident in our beliefs, and certain of victories to come.We have a lot of work to do to reclaim our majorities in Congress in 2010 as a first step in setting our nation back on the road to prosperity. Your monthly contribution of at least $5 will get us started.Thank you for your continued support. - First, I encourage you to sign up to make a recurring monthly contribution to my PAC of at least $5. Your monthly donation -- together with the donations of others on our team -- will go a long way toward ensuring we have the resources to support candidates like the Undaunted Dozen who are targeted for sticking to their fiscally conservative principles.

Romney on the AIG bonuses
AIG, Bain, and Financial Pain [Mitt Romney]
The news that employees at AIG are on the verge of being rewarded $165 million in bonuses at a time when the insurance giant is on the verge of collapse is rightly shocking to taxpayers who have pumped billions into the company to keep it afloat. Of course, the Obama administration was wrong to initially defend the bonuses as contractually obligated. In 1990, I was asked to assume the CEO position at the management consulting firm Bain & Co., then in acute financial distress. The need to restructure was paramount or else the company would fail, leaving 1,000 employees without a job. We renegotiated debt with bankers. We rewrote leases with landlords. We designed a whole new governing system. We also had to convince the founding partners to turn back profits they had already taken out of the company. Of course, we had no legal basis for making such a request, but without a shared sacrifice we couldn’t keep the company alive. Generously, the founders returned the money, putting us on a path to stabilizing the firm and turning it over to new leadership. It’s difficult to understand why the same lesson about shared sacrifice is lost on AIG’s executive team and their government overseers.

OP-ED: Has Obama delivered on his promise to rise above partisan politics?
By In January, 2008, after winning the Democratic primary in
So, how are we doing?
Fifty days into the new administration, one fact is clear: far from achieving his hoped-for reconciliation, President Obama is running the White House as if it was the Democratic National Committee, with endless plotting against political foes, the issuance of muscular statements from the West Wing and plans to use Obama’s campaign machine, Organizing for America, to pressure opponents of his agenda.
Picking a fight with Rush Limbaugh was a spectacle beneath the dignity of the office, akin to George Bush answering insults from Keith Olbermann. But it doesn’t end there. CNBC reporters who take issue with Obama’s anti-capitalist agenda are belittled in the daily press briefing. The President draws partisan lines with his speechmaking. He flagrantly distorts the opposition’s viewpoint.
