As I said from the beginning, our goal was to provide an alternative with a proven record of standing up not for politicians \u2014 but for freedom, the Constitution, and the conservative principles Americans hold dear. I am glad that we did, because it demonstrates a large block of our colleagues across the ideological spectrum agree. I also want to thank the countless conservative organizations and individuals who backed our effort; the amount of support we have received in less than 24 hours has been incredibly humbling.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Now that the conference has made its decision, it\u2019s time for us to move forward with a vision and a plan to fight for the forgotten men and women of this country, their way of life, and the principles \u2014 built upon the bedrock of freedom \u2014 that have made it great. We have no more time for either beltway theatrics, half-hearted empty promises, or tepid appeasement of people who want to remake America in the image of failed social welfare states.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The future of our republic is at stake.
