NBRA SHARES RYAN'S VISION OF AMERICA – FREEDOM AND PROSPERTY
We, in the National Black Republican Association, support the brilliant choice of Rep. Paul Ryan as the vice presidential running mate for Gov. Mitt Romney.
Together, Romney and Ryan, as America's Comeback Team, will restore our American exceptionalism anchored on our Republican values of faith, family and free enterprise that have made us the most prosperous nation on earth.
In his first speech as the vice presidential candidate, Ryan reaffirmed that our rights come from God, not the government. These poignant words are rooted in our Constitution that guarantees us life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. With clarity and conviction Ryan also said: "We won't duck the tough issues . . . we will lead! We won't blame others…we will take responsibility! We won't replace our founding principles . . . we will reapply them!"
This is the type of principled, bold leadership we need to end our nation's economic nightmare brought on by President Barack Obama's failed socialist agenda that has devastated the black community, creating high overall black unemployment and an astonishing 18 percent black youth unemployment (ages 18-25).
Demonstrating that he understands the pathway to prosperity, Ryan countered Obama's unconscionable slap at job creators when Ryan said: "if you have a small business---you did build that." Ryan then went on to denounce Obama's class warfare by stating: "We Americans look at one another's success with pride, not resentment, because we know, as more Americans work hard, take risks, and succeed, more people will prosper, our communities will benefit, and individual lives will be improved and uplifted."
Ryan is a man of hope and vision from Wisconsin in America's heartland, the birthplace of the Republican Party. When he was only 28 years old, he was the youngest member of the January 1999 freshmen class and is now in his seventh term in Congress representing Wisconsin's First Congressional District. Over the years, he has worked tirelessly leading the effort to reign in federal spending and increase accountability to taxpayers, using the knowledge he gained while earning degrees in economics and political science from Miami University in Ohio.
To gain a better understanding of who Ryan is, view the article "Paul Ryan's Old-Fashioned American Vision" by Larry Kudlow.
The following are three other excellent articles:
"Romney Hits Bulls-eye with Paul Ryan" by Ronald Kessler
"Smart Democrats Should Be Worried" by John Fund
"Obamacare Makes Vice President Ryan Possible" by Jay Cost
A little less than three months from now, Americans must decide whether to re-elect Obama and Biden and continue down the path of big government that is strangling our economy, or embrace Romney and Ryan, advocates of a smaller more efficient federal government that encourages individuals and small businesses, the engines of economic growth.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
" – Margaret Meade
