Conservative Leaders Rally Around Rick Scott’s "11-Point Plan to Rescue America"
Eighty-eight conservative leaders from the Conservative Action Project signed a memo supporting Scott’s plan titled Conservatives Applaud Sen. Rick Scott’s Plan to Rescue America.
The memo said:
Politicians should tell voters what they are for, what they plan to do, and then they have to do it. This is the clarity – and the accountability – that voters want to see from their elected leaders. Conservatives should be talking about our ideas as much, if not more, than we talk about Democratic missteps and overreach. While not everyone will agree with every parameter of Sen. Scott’s agenda, he should be applauded for his willingness to step up to the plate and to lead. More elected leaders should be following his example.
