April 2021 - Patriot's Day

Patriot's Day

Yesterday was April 19. You probably did not hear much about the significance of that day from our news media, but it should be one of our national holidays. On that day, April 19 1775, our history as America began with 'the shot heard 'round the world'. People like us, farmers and shopkeepers, gave their lives that day at the beginning of the American Revolution for independence from Britain. Eight pairs of fathers and sons stood shoulder to shoulder on Concord's Lexington Green that early morning; five of those pairs were shattered by death. Their sacrifice gave us the start of of the freedoms we cherish today.  

Precinct Officers

Thanks to everyone who has stepped forward to become a precinct chair, vice chair, or secretary. These are critical positions in our effort to reign in leftist political thought in Chatham County as we head towards the elections of 2022. We still need precinct officers in Bennett, Bynum, East Siler City and North Williams. If you'd like more information about these roles, email me.   

Election Workers

Conservative citizens must have a better representation as poll workers, election officials, and election judges in Chatham County. These are paid positions that ensure fair, open and honest elections, and historically Republicans have been severely under-represented. If you are interested, please fill out an application to become a poll worker for the next election. Applications and more information is at https://www.chathamcountync.gov/government/departments-programs/board-of-elections/opportunities-to-serve-as-an-election-worker-get-involved-in-elections     

Conventions

If you agreed to be a delegate to the 4th or 13th Districts, those conventions are this weekend. Register today if  you haven't done so already. Likewise, the State convention is rapidly approaching. Register now at https://convention.nc.gop to confirm attendance.  

Seeking candidates

The 2022 elections will vote on many important election positions: US Senator, US House members, North Carolina Senate and House, and Chatham County board of commissioners, school board, and Sheriff. If interested in more information about any of those positions, email me. We're looking for strong conservative candidates!  

Party Headquarters

We are still looking for the right place to be our Republican Party Headquarters. We visited one possible location but it was unsuitable. We have another one or two potentials opening up sometime in late spring or summer. Hopefully we will soon find a great location to be our focal point in Chatham County.  

Reagan Day 2021

Save the Date! We will hold our 2021 Reagan Day Dinner on November 13, 2021 at Governors Club. Plan on an evening of superb food, renewing old friendships, and listening to great conservative speakers. More details as we firm them up, but put that date on your calendar now.

Quotes

In closing, I have two quotes this month.

First, regarding the Democrat push to control our second amendment liberty:

Why do Americans own so many guns? Because they don’t trust the protected elites to protect them.— Anonymous  

And second, a quote that speaks to the push by Democrats to restrict personal freedom across the land:

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.― Samuel Adams

Exhaurire palude!
