The Detroit News has a story about my new role with Newt Gingrich’s American Solutions as the Chairman of the “Save American Jobs Project” to protect worker rights to a secret ballot and approval of their own labor agreements…

Anuzis…will join American Solutions, a conservative advocacy group founded by former House Speaker Gingrich. Anuzis will head an Internet campaign against the Employee Free Choice Act, legislation unions are hoping to push through Congress this year.

Gingrich’s group also is involved in high-profile efforts to allow offshore oil drilling and to reform the air-traffic control system.

Anuzis lost to Michael Steele in his bid to head the national GOP. But he has earned high marks among activists and consultants for his use of the Internet.

The New York Times wrote an article about conservatives desire to stand on principle in order to start winning elections again…

Saul Anuzis, the former chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, who recently campaigned unsuccessfully for the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee, admonished his listeners to “try to start acting like conservatives.”

“There is nothing more troubling to the American public and there is no bigger reason why we lost this election than our own hypocrisy,” Mr. Anuzis said.

The CNN blog Politicalticker reports on RNC Chairman’s Michael Steele’s speech to CPAC where he called me out…

The former Maryland Lt. Governor took a moment to honor two of his former rivals for the RNC chairmanship who were in attendance, former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell and Michigan GOP chairman Saul Anuzis.

Steele began his remarks by needling Anuzis, who ran for the post on a platform of upgrading the party’s technological savvy.

“Alright Saul, stop Twittering,” he cracked.

Congressional Quarterly covered part of my speech to CPAC yesterday…

“There is no bigger reason we lost this election than our own hypocrisy,” Michigan Republican Party Chairman Saul Anuzis told an audience gathered to hear a presentation billed as, “The Key to Victory? Listen to Conservatives.” Anuzis said the blame for election losses rests squarely on conservatives who were elected to office “and then they went to Washington and lost their way.”

“We need to stand on our principles and start acting like Republicans again,” Anuzis added.

FOX News had additional coverage as various speakers discussed the “soul searching” our party is doing at this time…

Saul Anuzis, former chairman of the Michigan Republican Party who lost a bid to run the Republican National Committee, said public perception of Republicans isn’t pretty, and rightfully so.

“There is probably nothing more troubling to the American public … than our hypocrisy,” he told an audience Thursday. “A lot of people lost their faith with us, it’s that simple. Republicans went to Washington and lost their way.”

So far this has been a great conference.  Later this morning, Newt Gingrich will be holding a blogger breakfast where he will announce our “Save American Jobs Project” that will push for “freedom not fear” in the workplace.

Over 8,000 conservatives from around the country have gathered to share their views, analysis and plans for the future.  Once again, a great conference!
