3 million new voters

We did it!



Because of your hard work I am proud to announce that the RNC has met and exceeded our goal of registering 3 million new voters in this cycle!

As of today we have registered 3,047,073 voters.

Now is not the time to rest. With 46 days left before Election Day we can register more voters and we can continue to spread our Party's message.

President George W. Bush is attracting new voters and has historic levels of support from Republicans around the country. We are expanding our party and building coalitions that will lead us to victory in November.

We've been aggressively reaching out to all voters--Hispanics, African Americans, Asian Americans--Republicans, Democrats and Independents. On Wednesday, for example, I was in Milwaukee for the sixth stop on our African American Economic Empowerment Tour.

We see a particular opportunity with all newly registered voters who may be more interested in a leader with solutions to the challenges we face, than party allegiance. They will be hearing from the RNC and Republican state parties.

We will reach out to them with the President's positive agenda for America. Our Party's action and optimism provides a sharp contrast to the Democrats protest and pessimism.

That's why our Party is growing while their Party is shrinking.

As the Democratic Party becomes smaller, it becomes more liberal, more angry, and more hate-filled. And as the Democratic Party becomes more liberal, more angry, and more hate-filled, it becomes smaller.

Earlier today, during a press conference, I outlined the Kerry Campaign's latest strategic shift to a so-called "character based critique," a euphemism for character assassination. The Kerry Campaign's "character based critique" is based on some of the most dubious characters ever to engage in the American political process, which you can see in detail in this press conference transcript here.

We can expect to see more personal attacks as they continue down this path.

We believe voters will make their decision based on the clear distinction between these candidates. During our convention, President Bush outlined his Agenda for the future of America, which includes strengthening education and job training, creating new opportunity zones in our cities, increasing affordable housing and expanding homeownership, reform of the tax code, strengthening social security, and making health care more affordable.

President Bush's positive vision for a safer world and a more hopeful America are expanding out Party and energizing Republicans, Democrats, and Independents to go to the polls on November 2 and vote for Republicans.

Keep up the great work!

Sincerely

Ed Gillespie RNC Chairman
