A Pro-Growth Alliance
This was a refreshing article to read as I sat down in front of my computer this morning. Incidentally, both DeMint and Hensarling were elected with strong Club member support.
The new leaders of conservative Republican factions in the House and Senate say they plan to work together more closely in the new Congress to reshape their party.
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who last month took over as chairman of the conservative Senate Republican Steering Committee, and Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), who will head its House counterpart, the Republican Study Committee (RSC), have discussed several changes to help them wrench their party back onto the track they want.
One of their most ambitious proposals is to participate in regular joint meetings of the Senate and House Republican leadership to plot party direction. They would also like to share resources, and see Senate conservatives represented at the meetings of House conservatives and vice versa.
Their goal is to return the GOP to its original principles, they say.
