FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
(MANCHESTER, NH) (July 5, 2020)
Dear Granite State Voter:
The Fourth of July is a wonderful holiday because it is a universal celebration.
Whatever your status in life, whatever your religion, whatever your origins,
you can celebrate on the 4th. We are One.
As the holiday winds down, I’d like to share a few thoughts with you.
Last weekend I was privileged to spend some time with Rockingham County
Young Republicans who were hosting an outdoor barbecue.
The Rockingham group had a mix of young men and women who are committed
to the Republican Party. As part of my remarks I made an unusual offer. I said
that candidates for the state house and state senate who didn’t have a campaign
“adviser” could call my office, and I would offer free advice to help them with
questions that might arise during their campaigns.
I want to encourage young men and women to run for office. We Republicans
have something to offer our neighbors: the promise of a bright future. A future
filled with freedom and liberty, but also with challenges and unanswered questions
that await every new generation of Americans.
And, driving home, I asked myself, “Who has said it best in the past?”
Who best crystalized what I wanted to express? Why President Ronald Reagan, of
course. (Please see link {1] below).
President Reagan told us what we need to hear, every Fourth of July,
every day of our lives: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from
extinction. It has to be fought for and defended by each generation.”
Today our freedoms, the very concept of liberty itself, is under
attack. People want to besmirch the Founders, and adopt a radical, counter-revolutionary
platform for our future, a future in which the state would be all-powerful and citizens
would be nonentities, a Communist Chinese-based system.
It's hard to express a sophisticated, challenging concept in the midst
of hamburgers and hot dogs, and so I didn’t deliver these specific comments at
the Rockingham YR barbecue. But they will get a copy, just as you are.
There has been so much controversy over the Wuhan virus. I don’t
believe it was deliberately created. But the failures of the Chinese Communist Party
unleashed a dreaded disease on the world. Like Nazi Germany in the 1930’s,
China today is an expansionist power with delusions of world hegemony.
In retrospect, everyone could have done better. Isn’t hindsight
wonderful? But as a nation we have done our best to confront the virus.
Democracies are not perfect; our flaws play out every day in the public arena.
We do not cloak our mistakes in a “Bamboo Curtain.” Because we are robust,
democracies tend to make a lot of noise. People disagree, sometimes loudly.
But the United States has weathered the economic challenge posted by
the Chinese viral attack better than anyone expected. We found old truths staring
us in the face: America no longer manufactured life-saving drugs and protective
equipment. Those deficiencies are being corrected. Supply chains are being brought
home, slowly at first and then faster and faster.
I strongly support President Trump for reelection. But even if he is
defeated, he has changed the course of our nation. I’ll admit, Trump is not a
touchy—feely kind of guy. But he is the most brilliant political strategist of the
last fifty years, a true visionary.
The radicals may think they can go back to the old way of doing business,
the “Obama Way,” but there is no way of going back to Obama-style gridlock.
America is once again called to be the “Arsenal of Democracy.”
Communist China must not be allowed to succeed in its plan to enslave
the world.
Which brings me to the domestic protests about the alleged wrongdoing
of the Founding Fathers and our current leaders. We do not live in a perfect
world. We live in a real world. If a policy is wrong, it can be changed through
the democratic process. Mobs are not a democratic form of government. I saw things
that need to be changed; so did you. Let’s change them, peacefully.
One of the reasons I am running for U. S, Senator is I am the only
credible, experienced candidate who can confront Jeanne Shaheen with the
Democratic Party’s and Obama Administration’s failures.
I was there in the 89th Congress when today’s civil rights
laws were passed. I predicted Obama’s failures as a leader. Experience means something
in politics, even though many candidates pretend their lack of experience is a
qualification for office.
The Young Republicans I joined last week have to confront real
challenges; they start with challenges of family and work, of leadership at the
state level, and, ultimately, the challenge of choosing our national leaders.
As I promised them, I will be there to offer the benefits of my wisdom
and experience to young candidates who are starting out. We must ensure a
smooth transition from one generation to the next. As a U. S. Senator, I will,
in President Lincoln’s words, attempt to “bind up the wounds of the nation” and
prepare us for our bright new future. I will be there for every Granite Stater.
New Hampshire has glorious traditions and they must be maintained. They
are the foundation, the bedrock of our future successes. The Young Republican
generation must take up the responsibility of continuing and enhancing these
traditions.
I’ll be there to help and guide them, and I hope you will be too.
In closing, I hope you had a healthy and happy Fourth; may you
celebrate many more in the future.
Republicans are here to stay. America is not going anywhere. We led before,
we lead today and we will lead into a bright new future. America, not Communist
China, represents the future of the world.
God Bless America, and God bless all of you who are part of and share our great Granite State.
Sincerely,
Andy
