REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE’S FIRE PELOSI BUS TOUR TO VISIT RHODE ISLAND
RNC Chairman, Michael Steele to Headline Fundraising Event and Victory Rally in Support of RI Republican Candidates
Warwick – RI Republican Party Chairman Giovanni Cicione today announced that RNC Chairman Michael Steele will again visit Rhode Island on October 24 and 25, 2010 to support the RI GOP and Republican candidates for local, state and federal offices. Chairman Steele will be the special guest at a party unity event to be held on Sunday, October 24th in Portsmouth. On Monday, Chairman Steele and the RNC’s Fire Pelosi Bus Tour will hold a Victory Rally at the headquarters of the RI Republican Party. The Victory Rally, which will be open to the public, will begin at 9:30 am on Monday October 25th at the Headquarters of the RI Republican Party, located at 1800 Post Road, in Warwick and all Rhode Islanders are welcome to come and voice their support for common sense solutions in Washington.
“We are thrilled to have the support of the Republican National Committee and to welcome Chairman Steele back to Rhode Island,” stated RI Republican Party Chairman, Giovanni Cicione. “The Fire Pelosi Bus Tour not only will remind Rhode Island voters why it is so important to send our Republican candidates to Congress to fight against the culture of reckless spending in Washington, but also will highlight the strength of our Republican candidates for statewide and local offices who will bring an end to the wasteful spending and the resulting tax increases here in Rhode Island.”
Prior to Election Day, the RNC’s Fire Pelosi Bus Tour will have visited all forty eight states in the Continental U.S. The mission of the bus tour is to get-out-the-vote for Republican candidates in key districts, energize supporters heading into the final days of the election, and bring the Republican message of fiscal responsibility and limited government directly to the voters. The bus is emblazoned with the simple phrase, “Need a Job? Fire Pelosi!”
“The failed policies coming out of Washington, DC perpetuate the high unemployment, skyrocketing debt, and an unprecedented expansion of the federal government that are creating economic uncertainty, preventing job growth and bankrupting our future,” continued Cicione. “The Fire Pelosi Bus Tour will highlight for Rhode Island voters the commonsense alternatives offered by Republican candidates. Rhode Island’s economy continues to flounder and our citizens deserve better,” concluded Cicione. “Rhode Islanders need to know that Republican candidates offer real alternatives to the unchecked spending and higher taxes, at both the state and federal levels that have kept our economy from moving forward.”
During the six week period between September 15 and Election Day, the Fire Pelosi Bus Tour is scheduled to visit more than 100 different cities and to travel more than 14,000 miles from coast to coast. The tour is intended to support local Republican Parties and candidates, as well as efficiently use online efforts to maximize grassroots support. Throughout its journey, the Tour has focused on reaching grassroots supporters and volunteers who are excited about this election and want to put America back on the right track.
