This month our nation's senior Republican elected official, House Speaker John Boehner, visits the Bay Area. Boehner and his team of "Young Guns," Congressmen Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy, have laid out a competing policy vision to that of President Obama.
They have shown the courage to tackle the most vexing national budget issue - entitlement spending. Finally we have a policy proposal that actually shrinks the deficit in a meaningful way and frames the debate going forward.
So far, our President's approach to this issue is to pass new entitlement spending, appoint a deficit commission, and then ignore its recommendations. If you listen to "thoughtful" Democratic policy types - you know that they believe our society is not taxed enough and cite Europe as the example we should follow. They float a national value added tax as a way to finance their vision of expanded government.
The competing visions couldn't be clearer.
We have a lot of work to do to build a competitive Republican Party in California. It's time to get to work. Getting involved is easy. You can volunteer with any of our Republican County Central Committees. And you can learn more by attending one of the May events listed below. I look forward to working with you for Republican Victory.
Best regards,

Since his election as Speaker of the House in January, John Boehner has focused on removing government barriers to job creation, cutting government spending, reforming Congress, and rebuilding the bonds of trust between the American people and their representatives in Washington.
He has fought to make the legislative process more open and to ensure that the priorities of the American people are reflected in the priorities of lawmakers. He led reforms that require bills to be posted online at least three days before a vote, make it easier to cut spending, require legislation to cite its authority in the Constitution, and ban "earmarks".
Boehner has represented the Eighth Congressional District of Ohio since 1991. In 1994 he was involved in crafting the Contract with America, especially one of its cornerstones - the Congressional Accountability Act, which required Congress to live under the same rules and regulations as the rest of the nation.
In 2006, Boehner's Pension Protection Act - the most sweeping reform of America's pension laws in more than 30 years - was signed into law, helping to ensure workers can count on their benefits when they retire.
In his role as House Republican Leader in the 110th Congress, Boehner united Republicans against job-killing bills like ObamaCare and "cap and trade" that were passed over the objections of the American people.
The second oldest of 12 brothers and sisters, John was raised in southwest Ohio. He grew up mopping floors and waiting tables at his family tavern, and played football for legendary coach Gerry Faust at Cincinnati's Moeller High School.
He met his wife Debbie, earned his bachelor's degree in business, and ran a small business in the plastics and packaging industry.
John and Debbie raised two daughters in the northern Cincinnati suburb of West Chester where they still have their home today.
Look under May 17 for the event with Speaker Boehner.
