Letter to Club For Growth members from Club President Stephan Moore. 9/21/2004
As you well know, the GOP controls the Senate by just one vote. A review of all the polls in all the Senate races shows that if the election were held today, the Republicans would win just 50 seats in the Senate. Clearly we must do everything we can to prevent Sen. Tom Daschle and the Democrats from seizing control of the Senate again. Even with today’s margin, the GOP doesn’t have effective control of the agenda as the Democrats use the filibuster to kill pro-growth reform or crucial judicial appointments. The next Senate could confirm two U.S. Supreme Court justices. All in all, control of the Senate could be equal to control of two of the three branches of government, and that’s a key reason the Club has become so active in key Senate races this year.
Right now, the balance of power is in the hands of the RINO Republicans like Olympia Snowe and Arlen Specter. With a 2 or 3 seat pick-up for the GOP, plus the addition of GOP superstars, Olympia and Arlen would no longer be deciding votes. We could move away from watered-down Republicanism toward a genuine pro-growth agenda on taxes, trade, Social Security, and budget reform.
So the stakes are mighty high in the Senate elections. That’s why we’re providing you now with our outlook for every competitive Senate race and a list of our top tier choices. Please be as generous as always by donating to as many of these “A” and “B” candidates as you can, and since the election is just a few weeks away, donate as soon as you can.
