Leaders Don't Avoid Worthwhile Fights

Londa, Earlier this week, a Republican strategist told the New York Times, "If the voters wanted politicians with courage, they’d reward them. Voters punish people who behave like that." That mindset, so prevalent among the Washington Establishment, is why our country is on the verge of a fiscal crisis. Heritage Action is standing side-by-side with conservative leaders who have the courage to stand up and fight for conservative principles. Unfortunately, taking this principled stand is unpopular with many in Washington. They are content with preserving status quo in order to avoid politically damaging battles. >> Learn more: See why backing down is not an option. Liberals and the Washington Establishment will never do what it takes to save the American dream. We can either keep the politics that have driven us to the brink of bankruptcy, or we can cut spending, shrink government and restore prosperity. >> Read the column where we push this message to Washington. Heritage Action will continue to stand with courageous conservatives, pushing Washington to put leadership and country before re-election. These leaders will save the American dream; they need to be heard. Sincerely, Michael A. Needham Chief Executive Officer Heritage Action for America
