Speech to Republican State Convention Bill Winney, Republican Candidate for US Congress
This election is serious business. Our Republican Party has some answering to do. This election will set our nation's course for the next decade. Wyoming people are very unhappy with how business is being done. Congress is more about how to "divide the pie" than about setting national priorities and getting on with the business of our country.
We must restore a strong national economy. Congress, and our Congressman, must take immediate action to:
1st - Control Spending – we have to start by stopping the earmark process now.
2nd - Control our Borders – we have to put needed resources to the Border Patrol.
3rd - Control our Energy Sources – we have to allow access to our national resources.
Only then can we chart a course to the economy this nation is capable of and that will secure the future for our children.
Wyoming must select a leader to do this. We must not be Pollyanna-ish in this. If we serve up another member of the "Old Guard" then the message will be clear: we are satisfied with "business as usual" and Congress will continue as it is.
I will change that process. As one of 435 this will not happen quickly but I have the working knowledge of Washington and the massive federal bureaucracy and where to place pressure to achieve what you want done and to control spending.
These are deadly serious times, we can speak of international affairs or of our national economy, but we must send someone who is serious and can work for the interests of Wyoming. I am that candidate.
