Congratulations Chabot, Massie and Wenstrup

Defenders of Economic Freedom

Club for Growth released their 2013 Congressional Scorecard today, and to no one's surprise, local Congressmen Chabot, Massie and Wenstrup all received the Club's highest honor, "Defender of Economic Freedom" 

Club for Growth honors those whose annual and lifetime scores are both 90 or above. All three do Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky proud for staying true to their conservative roots.

COAST is proud to say that we were some of the first and biggest supporters of all three early in their political careers.

Three Conservative Heroes!

George Will On Obama's Sequester "Phony Math"

Appearing on ABC's "This Week" George Will took a look at the ridiculous claims by the Obama Administration of dire consequences of the sequester. Watch below.

We're counting on our local Congressional Team: Speaker Boehner, Congressmen Chabot, Massie and Wenstrup and Senator Portman to hold firm.

Will also shared his wisdom in this Washington Post column.

Wenstrup's first spending vote is a "No" on bloated Sandy aid bill

The new 2nd District Congressman Lt. Col. Dr. Brad Wenstrup joined veteran Congressman Steve Chabot and new Northern Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie in voting "No" on the $9.7 billion bill for Hurricane Sandy aid in Congress today.  Read about in the Enquirer here.

East, West, North and South Three fantastic choices for Congress

COAST endorses Wenstrup, Chabot and Massie

Whether you are from the east side, the west side, north in Warren County or across the river in Kentucky, COAST could not be more thrilled with the choices on the ballot this year for the United States Congress.

Starting in northern Kentucky, GOP primary voters selected scientist and entrepreneur Thomas Massie, with Tea Party endorsement and credentials, to succeed Geoff Davis, who served honorably for six years.  Massie is a self-made man who, after making millions as a small business owner, moved home to serve his fellow Kentuckians.  His successful GOP primary race was a decisive victory for the most fiscally conservative of the primary candidates.

Moving to Cincinnati's west side, with added territory in the district of Warren County, Steve Chabot runs for his ninth term in Congress, where he has been a reliable conservative vote.  Most notably, under tremendous pressure from the GOP establishment, Chabot showed his independence in opposing TARP in 2010.  He endured a decade of close races as his already marginal district tilted further into the democrat column.

Finally, we move into the eastern suburbs of Hamilton County, and over to Clermont, Brown and Highland Counties.  There, COAST- endorsed Lt. Col. Dr. Brad Wenstrup energized tea party candidates throughout the nation with his March primary win, one of the earliest in the nation.   His resume glistens with his experience as a surgeon, small business owner, Iraqi war veteran, and community volunteer.  When he arrives in Congress, he will be a stand-out from Day #1.

COAST enthusiastically endorses the GOP nominees in Ohio's 1st and 2nd Congressional Districts, as well as Northern Kentucky, and encourages them to go to Congress energized to wrestle the nation's budget problems to the ground without tax increases.

Bold vision for America from Paul Ryan budget plan

We will have more comment and analysis on this in the coming few days, but this bold vision for America, the type of new direction we need, comes from the GOP and Paul Ryan.  Read about it here.

This is the type of thing that COASTers, Tea Partiers, our party structure, our elected representatives at all levels, and citizen activists everywhere should be promoting.  We cannot sit silently while this is occurring.

Let your Congressman and Senator know where you stand on these issues critical to America's future.
