REPUBLICAN
NATIONAL COMMITTEE LAUNCHES FIRE PELOSI BUS TOUR WEBSITE
WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee (RNC) today announced the launch of the Fire Pelosi Bus Tour website, www.FirePelosiBus.com. The website will allow visitors to easily follow The Fire Pelosi Bus as it crisscrosses the country to visit major cities, targeted districts, and rural communities to spread the message that it is time for Republicans to retake the House of Representatives and fire Nancy Pelosi.
FirePelosiBus.com
will
be updated daily with photos, videos, and blog posts from the road, as
well as
visitor submitted testimonials from grassroots supporters across the
nation. RNC Chairman Michael Steele will be joined by Republican
candidates, state legislators, activists, and volunteers, all
working to
elect Republicans and stand up against the tax-and-spend agenda of
Nancy
Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama. Additionally, the site will link
directly
to candidate homepages and provide a constant stream of Facebook,
Twitter and
blog updates to ensure that Republican supporters are plugged-in with
the
latest news from the campaign trail.
The Fire Pelosi Bus will roll through all 48 states in the Continental U.S., making stops at RNC Victory Centers, State Party Headquarters, and other local events and sites. The mission of the bus tour is to get-out-the-vote for Republican candidates in key districts, energize supporters heading into the final days of the election, and bring the Republican message of fiscal responsibility and limited government directly to Main Street. The bus will be emblazoned with the simple phrase, “Need a Job? Fire Pelosi!”
“The RNC is excited to get out of
Washington, DC and hit the
campaign trail with our top-notch candidates and dedicated supporters,”
said
RNC Chairman Michael Steele. “Their ideas and energy are the
reason that
Republicans will take back control of the House and Senate and help
lead our
nation back to economic prosperity and fiscal responsibility. The
next
six weeks will be entirely devoted to firing Nancy Pelosi, standing up
to the Democrat’s big-government agenda, and diving
into the
trenches to do the hard work of turning out the vote and winning races
up and
down the ballot.”
FirePelosiBus.com will feature several sections to allow visitors to easily follow the bus across the country and find events near their hometowns. In addition, the “GenerationNOW” page will encourage students, recent graduates, and young professionals to submit their own YouTube videos about why they want to fire Nancy Pelosi and move America in a different direction.
“The
failed policies of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid have led
to high
unemployment, skyrocketing debt, and an unprecedented expansion of the
federal
government. The RNC’s Fire Pelosi Bus Tour will take the
Republican
message to local communities feeling the brunt of Democrat failures,”
said
Chairman Steele. “The American people know that this economy is
not
moving in the right direction fast enough and more unchecked spending
and
higher taxes aren’t the solution, they are the problem.”
In addition to the RNC’s focus on regaining control of the House, the tour will also boost Republican candidates in critical U.S. Senate, gubernatorial, and local state races. The RNC is devoted to building a solid foundation of Republican leaders all across America. Supporting up-and-coming Republican candidates that are breaking new ground is a critical component to building a stronger GOP for years.
During the span of six weeks between September 15 and the election, the Fire Pelosi Bus Tour will visit over 100 different cities, big and small, and travel more than 14,000 miles from coast to coast. The tour will help build support for local Republican Parties and candidates, as well efficiently use online fundraising tools to maximize grassroots donations. The FirePelosiBus.com website will have a page where visitors can donate to the RNC. To date, the RNC has over 300 staffers on the ground, over 300 RNC Victory offices open and more than 11 million voter contacts have been made.
