Message from Eric Cantor (R-VA)

Eric Cantor Announces Intention to Stand for Election as House Majority Leader.

We must govern differently - not just differently than the Democrats, but differently from our previous majority as well. I believe that we need to change Washington's culture of spending that has prevailed for far too long.

To that end, I have announced my intention to stand for election as Majority Leader in the 112th Congress, because I want to help lead that effort and bring about these changes.

Please watch the video message below, where I outline some initial thoughts on how a Republican-led Congress should be run.

We will continue the YouCut program in the 112th Congress - to be clear, this means that your ideas and your votes will directly impact, each week, spending cut proposals that are brought to the House floor by the majority party.

We now have the opportunity to turn our words into action and produce real results. Like you, I am anxious to get started.

Regards,

Rep. Eric Cantor

YouCut - Piggy Bank Analogy

The YouCut project presents their latest video news release, "Piggy Bank," which takes a look at the debt crisis facing this country. It's often said that Washington's runaway spending amounts to generational theft; this video news release was designed to hammer that point home. America is at a critical crossroads, and the choices we make today will determine the kind of country we leave to our children and grandchildren.
