“The time has come for Republicans to stand together and support the Speaker of the House. The fact of the matter is we should be declaring victory right now, not arguing amongst ourselves. Think about it. Congress is not debating how much more we should be spending. It’s not debating how much more we should be taxing. We’re debating making government smaller and more efficient.

“Let’s not snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. There are more battles to come, and it’s important that we keep momentum – and the American people – on our side.”

The Ripon Society is a public policy organization that was founded in 1962 and takes its name from the town where the Republican Party was born in 1854 – Ripon, Wisconsin. One of the main goals of The Ripon Society is to promote the ideas and principles that have made America great and contributed to the GOP’s success. These ideas include keeping our nation secure, keeping taxes low and having a federal government that is smaller, smarter and more accountable to the people.
