Project 21: Hold Congressional Leadership True to Campaign Promises

Texas Insider Report: WASHINTON D.C.  Black conservatives are cheering the mandate for change away from liberal big-government policies & toward promises of a smaller and more responsible government. But members of the Project 21 black leadership network -- many of whom are also active in the Tea Party movement -- say their enthusiasm & support are conditioned upon how the newly-elected Congressional Leadership holds true to its campaign promises. From Scott Rigells congressional victory in my home area of Hampton Roads to those of other Republican and tea party-supported candidates nationwide the will of the people is clear -- no more bailouts no more excessive spending on failed government programs and no further encroachments on our rights and liberties as a free people said Project 21 member Coby Dillard a co-founder of the Hampton Roads Tea Party in Virginia. Republicans have the majority not a free pass. Virginias motto -- sic semper tyrannis -- gives no allegiance to political party and last nights results are an echo of that motto. Liberals who have tread on our freedoms and wallets were removed via the electoral process; those who replaced them can expect the same result in 2012 if they do the same. Project 21 member Kevin Martin noted:

This election is a historic repudiation of Barack Obamas activist government and a win for personal freedom and liberty. Big-government liberals must realize that Americans who voted for hope and change in 2008 made it known in 2010 that they do not agree this meant wasting trillions of taxpayer dollars promoting policies that lead to record unemployment and creating further division in our nation.

Lisa Fritsch a Project 21 member and frequent tea party speaker said: An explosion of American enthusiasm and a return of the government to the American people was witnessed last night. Though there were a few races where conservatives came up short the momentum for conservative values and principles cannot be denied. The tea party has translated protest into power. And we are just getting started restoring our rights and founding principles to America. Divided government means it will be tougher to pass legislation almost all of which costs money and increases the size of government. This is a victory for the American taxpayer added Project 21 member Akbar Shabazz. Yesterdays election results are evidence that the American people are what make our representative republic exceptional and that there is no battle we cant win concluded Project 21s Jerome Hudson. Project 21 a leading voice of black conservatives since 1992 is sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research.
