The Time for Bold Leadership That Puts America First Has Arrived
By Harry G. Hutchison
As Congress returns to Washington, D.C. after its two-week recess, it faces several urgent challenges that provide opportunities for practical and principled leadership. The time for courageous conviction and innovative leadership sacrificially serving all of the American people is now.
In the coming days, there are a myriad of major policy moments confronting conservatives on Capitol Hill. Whether the issue is the passage of a government funding bill that prevents a government shutdown, or the critical necessity of passing an ObamaCare repeal and replacement bill through the Budget reconciliation process, the time for leadership is now.
While leftists are prepared to oppose virtually every initiative proposed by those in control of both the executive and legislative branches of the federal government, and while some leftists appear to embrace the possibility of a government shutdown as well as the limitless expansion of abortion rights, House and Senate leadership ought to be guided by well-defined principles and paramount policy objectives. Now is the time to demonstrate they can do more than spearhead an effective opposition. The challenges of the times and the needs of the American people demand that they now govern.
