Governor Scott Walker Launches “Our American Revival”
Madison – Governor Scott Walker announced today the formation of Our American Revival. This 527 leadership organization will communicate a vision and work to enact policies that will lead to a more free and prosperous America by restoring power to thes tates and - more importantly - the people. Rick Wiley will serve as the executive director for Our American Revival.
“Our American Revival encompasses the shared values that make our country great; limiting the powers of the federal government to those defined in the Constitution while creating a leaner, more efficient, more effective and more accountable government to the American people,” said Governor Walker.
Our American Revival will bring together concerned citizens and elected officials from across the country who will advocate for policies that reflect the ideal that a government closest to the people can best respond to the needs and interests of the people - while protecting their freedoms and values against overreach by the federal government.
“To move this country forward we need new, fresh leadership from outside Washington,” continued Walker. “We need leaders who are bold. That’s how we build a better future for our children and grandchildren. We’ve done it in Wisconsin and it can be done across this country with the right leadership.”
“Governor Walker has demonstrated bold leadership, something that’s sorely lacking in Washington, D.C.,” Rick Wiley said. “This country needs leaders with records of accomplishment.”
About Our American Revival
Our American Revival believes that the government closest to the people is the most responsive and accountable to the people. We share the vision of our founders – that the powers of the federal government should be limited to those specified in the Constitution, and that federal overreach infringes on our American freedoms and values.
We will work with citizen and leaders across the country to promote policies that restore power to the states and their people. We will help lead a revival of the values that make our nation great, by highlighting ideas and policies that protect our shared American values while limiting the size and scope of government.
Our American Revival is already beginning in states across the nation, led by everyday Americans and their elected officials, who believe in the wisdom of our founders, and in the powerful example they set – one of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
The largest drivers of state budgets are Medicaid and welfare, education and personnel expenditures. But far too often, states have their hands tied by federal government overreach and micromanagement that blocks common sense solutions and reforms.
Our American Revival will focus on reforms that will take control from the federal government and big government special interests and give it back to hard-working taxpayers.
◾We will highlight the ideas and solutions coming from the states that would help Americans move from dependence on government to the independence and dignity that from from work.
◾We will showcase successes and proposals that will help assure that every child in our nation has access to a great education.
◾And we will help put power back in the hands of the taxpayers by taking on the big government union bosses through collective bargaining and pension reforms.
Join us as we begin Our American Revival!
