WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee (RNC) today announced its fundraising numbers for September 2009.
The RNC raised $8.74 million in the month of September and has $18.9 million cash-on-hand and $0 debt. The RNC averaged 2,400 new donors per day in September, an off-year record and an increase of about 2000 new donors per day since February. The average donor contribution in September was $36.
“It goes without saying that we have been working hard to establish a new brand for the RNC. From giving a voice to the frustrations of many Americans over the president’s health care experiment, to the launch of our new web platform, our efforts have resulted in record breaking fundraising numbers for September which continues an extremely strong trend for us since February. It is clear that the Republican message of lower taxes, less spending and common sense health care reform resonates with working families and small businesses alarmed by the course the president and Congressional Democrats have taken. As we move closer to the elections this fall and in 2010, these funds will enable the RNC to provide Republican candidates throughout the country the financial resources needed to help ensure victory on election day,” said RNC chairman Michael Steele.

When Will Florida Democrats Stand Up For American Workers And Families?
Washington – Even though our country continues to face massive job loss, President Obama and Democrats in Congress continue to push a job-killing national energy tax. Despite the fact that the Congressional Budget Office has determined this so-called “cap and trade” legislation will result in more layoffs, Florida voters have reason to fear that Democrats like Suzanne Kosmas, Alan Grayson, Allen Boyd and Ron Klein will stop at nothing to please the liberal left wing of their party.
“CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf warned a Senate energy panel that there would be ‘significant shifts’ from emissions-intense sectors such as oil and refining firms to low-carbon businesses such as wind and solar power.
“’The net effect of that we think would likely be some decline in employment during the transition because labor markets don't move that fluidly,’ Mr. Elmendorf said, testifying before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
“’The fact that jobs turn up somewhere else for some people does not mean there aren't substantial costs borne by people, communities, firms and affected industries,’ he said. …
“During a time of economic uncertainty, President Obama and Democrats are attempting to conduct yet another dangerous experiment that will cause even more damage.” (Ian Talley, “Congressional Budget Chief Says Climate Bill Would Cost Jobs,” The Wall Street Journal, 10/14/09)
“Each day, families are struggling to find a way to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. As Americans continue losing their jobs, Florida Democrats are moving forward with a national energy tax that will result in further unemployment. Now voters are anxiously waiting to see if Democrats like Suzanne Kosmas, Alan Grayson, Allen Boyd and Ron Klein will continue to bow to the political pressure of liberals in Washington or finally stand up and fight for middle class families and workers. During a time of economic uncertainty, President Obama and Democrats should not be attempting another dangerous experiment that could harm our nation.” – Trevor Francis, Republican National Committee Communications Director

RPOF Launches Florida Victory 2010
Tallahassee–The Republican Party of Florida today marked the kick-off of the Florida Victory 2010 campaign. RPOF Chairman Jim Greer and Attorney General Bill McCollum announced that former Florida House Speaker Allan Bense will serve as the Florida Victory 2010 Finance Chairman.
“Our state party is strong and unified heading into this critical election cycle,” said RPOF Chairman Jim Greer. “I am grateful to General McCollum and Speaker Bense for their dedication to building our party. Their leadership enabled the RPOF to kick-off this important program early, and I am proud to partner in this important endeavor with these two great Republican leaders.”
Each election cycle, the Chairman authorizes the creation of a Florida Victory campaign within the Republican Party of Florida to create a unified financial and political strategy solely focused on benefiting Republican candidates. This year, Chairman Greer was pleased to approve the creation of the Florida Victory 2010 campaign months earlier than in previous cycles.
“With the election just over a year away, it is important to lay the groundwork for the massive expansion of staff, offices and other resources Florida Victory 2010 will utilize to ensure that Republicans across our state carry the day next November,” said Attorney General Bill McCollum. “I am grateful to Chairman Greer, Speaker Bense, and all of our Republican elected officials, county leaders, and volunteers who will contribute their resources, time and talents to this historic cause.”
Chairman Greer and General McCollum also announced that Florida House Majority Leader, Representative Adam Hasner (R-Delray Beach), Former RPOF Chairman Al Cardenas, and RPOF Finance Chairman, Ambassador John Rood will serve as Florida Victory 2010 Co-Finance Chairmen. Today’s kick-off is the result of weeks of planning between the RPOF and the Bill McCollum for Governor Campaign. The effort will be expanded to include additional statewide campaigns in the coming weeks.
“Today is a proud day for the Republican Party of Florida as we put in place the organizational structure that will enable our success in a number of important races next fall. I commend General McCollum and Chairman Greer for their leadership in establishing this organization within the Republican Party of Florida,” said Governor Crist. “By beginning this process now, our party will be better-prepared for victory in 2010.”

RNC STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT OBAMA’S NOBEL PEACE PRIZE AWARD
RNC STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT OBAMA’S NOBEL PEACE PRIZE AWARD
WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele released the following statement today:
“The real question Americans are asking is, ‘What has President Obama actually accomplished?’ It is unfortunate that the president’s star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights. One thing is certain – President Obama won’t be receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action.”
