			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://johntracy.me/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/republican_party_logo.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-120 alignnone" title="Young Republicans of Pasco, Hillsborough, and Pinellas County Florida" src="http://musicoftampa.com/JohnTracySite/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/republican_party_logo-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I am very excited to be on the Young Republicans Subcommittee, part of the <a title="Republican Party of Pasco County" href="http://www.pascogop.org/" target="_blank">Executive Committee of the Republican Party</a> in Pasco County, Florida.  It is very important that the youth of our nation rally together in the next election to help win back the United States.  Pasco County is a key political area of the state of Florida and works hand-in-hand with Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties.  We are very committed to reaching the youth in future elections and working diligently to spread the message and values of the Republican Party to high school and college campuses.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I have created a &#8220;Group&#8221; on Facebook to assist in rallying the youth of the three counties stated above.  I would invite all interested parties to join.  You can join the group <a title="Young Republicans of Pasco, Hillsborough, and Pinellas County Florida" href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/edit.php?officers&amp;gid=63412799777#/group.php?gid=63412799777" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If you are younger than 30, live in Pasco County Florida, and believe in the core values of the Republican Party, this group is for you. If you are a friend to the group just described, we would also welcome your presence. This is a place for honest discussion, networking of kindred hearts, and promotion of our values and beliefs. As the youth of our party, we must rally together to win back our nation!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As stated on the <a title="Republican National Committee" href="http://www.gop.com/" target="_blank">GOP website</a>, here is what we affirm:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I&#8217;m a Republican Because&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I BELIEVE the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations, and that the best government is that which governs least.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">FINALLY, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I look forward to seeing you on Facebook soon!</p>
