GOP.gov - The Website of the Republican Majority in Congress

GOP.gov - The Website of the Republican Majority in Congress



I was surprised how the Republican Party stress the importance of budget cutting and wasteful spending, but blatantly forces everyone to pay for their website. gop.gov is a governmental, tax-paid site promoting the GOP. Here is the about:


A Pledge to America - Following Through on our Promise
Americans need no reminder that the challenges we face are enormous. Our economy has declined and our debt has mushroomed with the loss of millions of jobs. The social fabric that binds us as citizens, families and communities is unraveling. Voices in and out of government whisper that our standing as the world’s leader of democracy and economic growth is ending.

The American people do not accept these counsels of timidity, failure, and despair. In town halls and on public squares, in every corner of this country, people have gathered and spoken out – in small groups and larger crowds, through phone calls and in letters, through websites and new technologies.

Legislators in Washington have imposed an agenda that doesn’t reflect the priorities of the people. What’s worse, the most important decisions are made behind closed doors, where a flurry of backroom deals has supplanted the will of the people.

It's time to do away with the old agendas: that much is clear. It's not enough, however, to swap out one set of leaders for another. Structure dictates behavior, so we have drafted this blueprint on a process of listening to the American people and fielding their concerns and ideas for turning things around.

The American people have humbled us. They have reminded us that the privilege to serve is temporary. Hard work and tough decisions will be required of the 112th Congress. No longer can we fall short. No longer can we kick the can down the road. In November, the people voted to end business as usual, and thus, we begin carrying out their instructions. This is our guidebook as we move forward.

This is our Pledge to America.

But what happens if we're not a part of the Republican party? At least with organizations like: FBI.gov, FDA.gov, ICE.gov, these group answers to little ol' me, yet the GOP.gov caters only to the Republican party. Some of you may say, big deal! Wjhat about the Democrat[ic] party?

Who We Are
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. -- Kennedy
Our Party
Our Party

For more than 200 years, Democrats have fought for the interests of working families and equal opportunities for all Americans. We believe in an America where we don’t just look out for ourselves. We’re proud of our individualism, but we also know that we rise and fall as one nation. Throughout history, Democrats have worked from the ground up to bring about the change that matters.

Our History
Our History

The history of our country is a history of change. America’s genius throughout has been its ability to renew our promise to provide citizens the opportunity for a better life—and though our own history isn’t perfect, the mission of the Democrats has been to make that promise a reality.

Our Leaders
Our Leaders

Throughout history, Democratic Party leaders have fought to make the changes that matter most to the American people. Today, a new generation of leaders continues that proud tradition.

In states, cities, and neighborhoods across the country, Democrats are working to build local organizations from the ground up. Democrats in every state help with electoral efforts, voter registration, candidate recruitment, volunteer recruitment, and training.

    To pay to host their website when none of these people are in no way connected to them? Is this what the GOP stands for? Forcing their policy and belief on others and if we don't follow, pay for them to host their website on a taxpayer-paid server? I think it's time we stand up to the GOP and say: No, we won't pay for website using tax money
