This Just in from Redstate

Dear RedState Reader, I have sad news to report. While the Republicans in the United States House of Representatives are willing to fight for conservative principles, particularly those that divide the Democratic caucus in the House, the Republicans in the United States Senate have agreed to capitulate to the Democratic agenda. Yesterday, I obtained internal Senate emails from Senator Lamar Alexander's staff. Senator Alexander is in charge of setting the GOP agenda. The emails, which you can read here, signal an intention to cave in to Democratic "bipartisan" initiatives and abandon all efforts to rein in earmarks and spending. What makes this more troubling is that at yesterday's GOP Senate retreat, pollster David Winston told the Republicans that one reason they lost the Senate was because of spending. Senator Alexander and the Republican leadership have decided to reject that data and, instead, embrace their minority status. Rather than push bold conservative issues, the Senate GOP Leadership will instead enjoy the table scraps Harry Reid, Teddy Kennedy, and Hillary Clinton throw them from the leadership table. Please call your Republican Senator at (202) 224-3121 and tell him to reject bipartisan expansions of government and fight for conservative ideas that stop wasteful spending on bridges to nowhere and Hippie museums. All the best,
