The Democrats have effectively\u00a0<\/span>positioned the GOP as the party of &#8220;NO!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With a small margin in the House, Biden&#8217;s veto, and a likely Democrat Senate\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">virtual majority, the Republicans face a difficult challenge. How do you\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">shape a narrative that can win in 2024 and minimize the damage that the\u00a0<\/span>Democrats can do until then?<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It starts by capitalizing on an issue that Republicans have been reticent to\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">exploit-school choice. Have you noticed that the youngest voters went\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Democrat in every state? We have let the Democrats control public schools.\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Teacher unions have used their money and influence to ensure adequate\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">funding. The result is clear-the youth under their influence have rejected\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the responsible values of their parents. The young lack confidence in their\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ability to make free-enterprise work, and they like government entitlements,\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">rent relief, and promises of student loan forgiveness. In short, they have\u00a0<\/span>settled for the party of &#8220;FREE&#8221;-the Democrats!<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">School choice wasn&#8217;t even part of the Republican&#8217;s Commitment to America.\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Our leaders missed its role in Youngkin&#8217;s win in Virginia. It&#8217;s time to\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">start becoming the party of &#8220;YES&#8221; to school choice. Many minority parents\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">feel trapped in underperforming schools, and they want better schools for\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">their children. Conservatives want an end to the indoctrination of liberal\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">values that public schools provide. In short, it&#8217;s time to embrace school\u00a0<\/span>choice as a central focus in the GOP&#8217;s 2024 campaign. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There is no question that the issue of abortion also played a key role in\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">impacting the Republican gains in the November election. The Democrats were\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">able to turn fears over the Supreme Court reversal of Roe vs Wade into voter\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">turnout in key races. It&#8217;s time to be the party of &#8220;YES&#8221; to reasonable\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">limits on abortion and responsible support for adoption for unwanted\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">children. Most Americans are supportive of reasonable limits on abortion.\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">House Republicans could introduce federal legislation to make abortion after\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the first trimester illegal. Let the states take the role of considering\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">even more restrictive measures. Make Democrats the party of &#8220;NO&#8221; to sane\u00a0<\/span>abortion limits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Be the party of &#8220;YES&#8221; to government support for organizations that provide\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">vulnerable women with support and material resources to help them consider\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">both parenting and adoption. Democrats would have women believe that abortion\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is their only option. There are parents ready to adopt, and it can be a\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">beautiful experience for all involved. It&#8217;s time to convince women to\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">support life for their unborn child by providing loving options instead of\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">trying to force the total elimination of abortion. Abortion disproportionately\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">impacts minorities. To meet the needs of the future, America needs all the\u00a0<\/span>births our citizens can bring into this world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Say &#8220;YES&#8221; to responsible citizenship-every citizen working to find a\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">satisfying career in pursuit of their true American Dreams instead of\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">settling for government dependence. The Republican message must be strong\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and clear-we belief in all Americans&#8217; ability to gain their mojo and take\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">back their future. There is no future in dependence-Getting &#8220;Free&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">entitlements are not &#8220;Freedom!&#8221; Let people know that America is still where\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the &#8220;pursuit of happiness&#8221; is not just something to justify a revolution. It is\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">what has made America great and the envy of the world. It is by improving\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">your skills and earning advancements or starting one&#8217;s own business that\u00a0<\/span>true dreams are achieved. No citizen should settle when she can soar. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Say &#8220;YES&#8221; to a secure border and legal immigration. America remains the land\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">of opportunity, and we need immigrants. We don&#8217;t need millions of illegal\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">immigrants unvetted and unprepared to add value to our country. Stand for\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">completing the building of our Southern border wall and increasing our focus\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">on expanding legal immigration. Republicans must not be against immigrants;\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">we are only against welcoming illegal immigrants who do not honor our\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">immigration process. Americans want a secure border, and they want to be\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">known as a country that welcomes immigrants. Have the strength and wisdom to\u00a0<\/span>stand for both.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Say &#8220;YES&#8221; to law and order. Stand in support of law enforcement and\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">accountability for criminals. Yes, we want fair treatment of all Americans,\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">but citizens are tired of criminals having the upper hand. They want to feel\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">safe in their homes and their businesses. We need DAs who will prosecute\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">criminals instead of letting them go. There is a simple formula for the GOP\u00a0<\/span>to reflect most Americans-&#8220;Do the crime and do the time!&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you want to beat the &#8220;Party of FREE,&#8221; we need to become the &#8220;Party of\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">YES&#8221; to the things that Americans truly value. It&#8217;s time to begin preparing\u00a0<\/span>a narrative that can win in 2024.
