Tuesday’s results made it official: The GOP grassroots base is back, motivated and not to be messed with…

In my first blog post since yesterday’s victories in both Virginia and New Jersey, I want to thank you—the voters, the supporters, the grassroots…everyone who stood up for our Country and said no, this is not the direction for America.  You took the first step in getting our Country back on track.

On the ground campaigning, I could see it your faces and hear it in your voices…the frustration, the conviction, the certainty.  America heard you and your conservative voices resonated.   

Because of your efforts, the Republican Party is once again a bottom-up party.  The Republican Party has once again found its voice.  The great candidates that won last night shared your vision and heard your message.  You energized behind these core Republican conservative principles and candidates and rejected the failed Democrat policies. 

Because of your efforts, we are now positioned to show new strength as a Party moving forward.  Republicans will take that momentum into the 2010 mid-term elections and beyond. 

You did not waver in your convictions...and the Republican Party will be guided by and through this voice.  I thank you, the grassroots.
