September Message -Chairman Bernie Zadrowski  

My Fellow Clark County Republicans:

I realize that you are now, in the "heart" of the election being inundated with e-mails, letters, campaign commericals, and all other sorts of media directed and designed to convinced you who to vote for on November 4th. As always, I want to tell you again that our Republican candidates need your help, and I beseech you to answer their call for support. for those of you who are making phone calls and knocking on doors on behalf of our Republican office-seekers, thank you for your hard work and dedication.

Today, however, I am contacking you, not only as the Chairman of the Clark County Republican Party, but also as an American who is greatly concerned about the financial crisis that is being experienced right now on Wall Street. Quite simply I am wrinting you to ask you so contact our elected representatives and tell them to hold firm to the fundamental cornerstones up which our great nation was built, and which continues to make her that shining beacon of light high upon the hill. I am speaking, of course, about the fundamental belief and reliance in both free market capitalism and the principle of freedom from excessive government intrusion into our daily lives.

I am sure I am not alone in wondering alound why it is that when bad investments are made by private institutions which are now faced with closing their doors, this problem suddenly becomes the problem for YOU AND I to fix. Why do our leaders, especially our Republican leaders, who should be fundementally opposed to this idiocy, believe that it is the government's responsibility to reach into our pockets and pay for the foolishness of private businesses and institutions? Moreover, if the federal government does act foolishly and decides on implementing a massive bailout, the question arises what assurances do we have that the fundemental evils that caused this problem are going to be eliminated? How can we be assured that some time in the future we, or our children aren't going to AGAIN have to pay for another crop of multi-million dollar CEO golden-parachute and severance checks? As I ponder these questions, I have to ask some even more basic questions, like whatever happended the the Reagan Revolution? What happened to our Republican free-market principles? Where do we draw the line and say, enough is enough?!?

Americans stand at a "fork in the road" having to make a major decision that will have lasting, fundemental consequences that cut to the core of what America IS. The dicision will have consequences for our children and the America they inherit from us. Do we take the road that abandons our principles so that a few "fat cats" on Wall Street and theirwilling accomplices in government can continue to make bad business decisions? Or, do we chose the right pathe, the one that recognizes and respects our American values and the fundemental belief that the proper role of government is not to intervene in the exclusive chaos of private institutions? I believe we should chose the latter, and that we should not sit lethatgically by and watch the idealogy of America be flushed down the proverbial toilet while those who are responsible for the fraud and corruption that fueled this "crisis" are held unaccountable. I urge each and every one of you to contact your elected representatives and tell them you are not responsible for the mess that private institutions and a meddling, greedy federal government accomplice have created, and you should not be required to bail them out.

Thank you, again for your commitment and hard work. On behalf of the Clark County Republican Party, know that our thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time.

Yours in Republican Service,

Bernie Zadrowski,  
Clark County GOP Chairman
