In the months and years ahead, we look forward to working with Republicans across the country to build a strong coalition of individuals who want the Republican Party to return to its traditional, fiscally conservative roots.

The Republican Leadership Council supports:

* Low taxes with balanced budgets;
* Strong national defense;
* Engaged foreign policy;
* Protection of the environment; and
* Less government interference in individual lives.

This is an agenda that the majority of Americans already support. The responsibility of ensuring that the GOP follows the proper path lies with those Republicans who are willing to work to make it happen. Join us in reclaiming our Party and ensuring a return to the core values the Republican Party has advocated for generations.

This site is a meeting ground for all Republicans who want to make a difference – and expand the Republican party - check out our blog, news, candidates or volunteer today! If you are a candidate who is interested in the RLC’s support, please complete our candidate survey.
 
Thank you for visiting – we look forward to seeing you on the campaign trail.
 
 
Sincerely yours,

Gov. Christie Whitman & Sen. Jack Danforth

"Corporate profits are soaring. Companies are sitting on billions of dollars of cash. And still, they've yet to amp up hiring or make major investments."

Insider versus outsider: That's been the major theme of the 2010 campaign so far, and it was no different as voters in five key states, including Florida and Arizona, headed to the polls in nominating contests 10 weeks before the November midterms.

Washington (CNN) -- With the midterm elections just 10 weeks away, analysts expect big wins for Republicans.

But strategists and analysts say there are some key things the GOP must do to win over the American people and have a chance of taking back control of Congress.

1. Focus on jobs, jobs, jobs

Ron Christie, a Republican strategist who worked for former President George W. Bush, said that Republicans must play up how Democrats have focused too much energy on issues other than jobs.

(Aug. 23) -- If Washington seems out of ideas on how to get the private-sector jobs machine running again, there's a pretty straightforward reason -- the people in government have virtually no experience in business.
