(Washington, D.C.) –
"The election of 2006 is
over," said Sarah
Chamberlain Resnick,
Executive Director of
the Republican Main
Street Partnership. "Now
is the time for our
party to put aside our
differences and unite
around shared values.
With Democrats in charge
in the House and the
Senate, now, more than
ever, America needs a
strong, united
Republican Party."
"Our
party has a historic
opportunity to recapture
the middle of the
American electorate and
build a lasting
legislative majority,"
continued Resnick. "We
need to celebrate our
ideological diversity
and recognize that
people of good faith can
disagree on complex
social issues. The way
forward for our party is
not to battle over our
differences, but to
highlight areas where
our party is unified."
"Ronald
Reagan built a big tent
party that attracted
conservatives and
moderates, Republicans
and independents, and
people from all across
the country. The
foundation of this big
tent party was a belief
in limited government, a
commitment to free
market economics, and a
confident foreign
policy," said Resnick.
"Now is the time for the
GOP to return to those
core principles. The
American voter is hungry
for solutions and we
should be the party that
provides them."
"The
Republican Main Street
Partnership is committed
to bringing back Ronald
Reagan’s Republican
Party. Main Street
recognizes that the GOP
is not monolithic, and
for our party to succeed
we will need the support
of Republicans of all
ideological stripes. Our
party’s way forward is
clear," concluded
Resnick.
