New Club for Growth Bigger and Better
New Club for Growth Bigger and Better-Unaffected by FEC Settlement
Washington - In light of the settlement reached today between the Federal Election Commission and Citizens Club for Growth, the new Club for Growth emphasized that it is a completely separate legal entity, is not a party to the settlement, and will not be affected by this settlement or any other anti-527 actions that may be taken by the FEC or Congress.
"The new Club for Growth is extremely strong, with over 40,000 members nationwide and an active and influential role in the discussion over the pressing economic issues of the day," said Club for Growth President Pat Toomey. "The Club for Growth will continue to fight for pro-growth policies, including, lower taxes, limited government, individual freedom, free trade, school choice, entitlement reform, and greater political free speech."
The Club for Growth has a far broader agenda, engaging in a host of policy initiatives never touched by Citizens Club for Growth. These include the Club for Growth's series of presidential white papers; its popular 2007 RePORK Card; its nationwide petition promoting free trade; new congressional lobbying efforts on private equity and other vital economic issues; and many more new initiatives planned for the near future. The new Club's primary purpose is educational and legislative-helping the public and its leaders to understand the benefits of pro-growth policies and to work to get these policies adopted.
Likewise, the Club for Growth's PAC is not a party to the FEC settlement. With increased resources, the PAC will continue to support the best pro-growth candidates and promises to play a very strong role in the 2008 election cycle.
