The Hardin County Republican Party will hold its annual Lincoln Day Dinner Sunday, March 7, 2010, at The Hardin County Community Building in Kenton, Ohio. The event will permit individuals to meet and talk with local, state and national Republican candidates. Meet and Greet begins at 6:00 PM with dinner at 6:30 PM.

United States Congressman, Jim Jordan, will be this year's featured speaker. Jordan is a fiscal conservative who believes that families and taxpayers, rather than government, know best how to make decisions with their money. Throughout his career, Jim Jordan has led the fight against tax hikes, including those proposed by his own political party. Jim Jordan believes that cutting taxes and letting families keep more of what they earn helps build strong communities and a vibrant economy.

Congressman Jordan has long been a vocal supporter of securing our borders and enforcing our nation’s laws to deal with the problems stemming from illegal immigration. He is active in supporting the rule of law and fixing the system so that families who long to come to America can do so the right way by learning English, gaining legal citizenship and becoming taxpaying Americans.

In Congress, Jordan has also emerged as a prominent defender of the taxpayer’s pocketbook through his work on spending issues. As Chairman of the Republican Study Committee's Budget & Spending Task Force, he introduced the only balanced budget alternative to President Obama's budget.

He continues to support making the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts permanent and has offered a series of budget and appropriations amendments aimed at stemming the excessive growth of government spending. He serves on the House Judiciary Committee, the House Budget Committee, and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
