Summary

There is a better way. Republican Whip Congressman Eric Cantor (Virginia), Congressman Paul Ryan (Wisconsin), and Republican Chief Deputy Whip Kevin McCarthy (California) outline a new direction for the Republican party in terms of engaging a new and diverse party leadership, modernizing and winning policital campaigns, and thinking about the long term policies that will show how to restore America's greatness by reasserting and reapplying its principles. A year and a half into President Obama's administration, it has become clear that the voters' disgust with Washington has been mistaken for the desire for a far-left agenda. Cantor, Ryan and McCarthy are proud Republicans. But they believe that thier party has lost sight of American ideals. Through campaign support for those who believe in private sector job creation, maximized individual freedom, and a better America for our children, the Young Guns are changing the face of the Republican Party and giving Americans a road map to get back to the American Dream.
