September Schools presentation

Please join us for the Chatham GOP meeting at 7:00 PM on September 14 at the Pittsboro Community House (65 Thompson St in Pittsboro) where we will hear from Susan Mills, the Vice Chair of the North Carolina Republican Party. Susan will speak on the state of our North Carolina public schools and how we can become involved in making them better.

Candidates!

A big thanks to everyone who was able to participate in our candidate's orientation on Tuesday. We always need folks to step up and work to return our county to conservative values. If you are a Democrat or Unaffiliated Voter and considering running as a Republican in next year's contests, you must re-register as a Republican NO LATER than September 18 in order to file as a Republican candidate in December.

We do not share our email list with anyone, so that makes it difficult for candidates to reach out to our readers. Here are websites that you can check for candidate information:

The 2020 Census redistricting process continues. We do not know the boundaries of voting districts for US Congressional representation or for the NC House and Senate in the upcoming elections. The latest information is on the NC General Assembly website here. Public comments on the process are welcomed at that website. I encourage you to submit comments that Chatham County must not be split districts like we have now.

Reagan Day Dinner

Tickets are available for our Reagan Day Dinner on November 13 at Governors Club. Visit this flyer link for more information. Go here to purchase your ticket before they are gone. This will be a great evening!

Get involved!

Political parties are all-volunteer organizations of folks who spend a few hours to many hours each month working for a better government. Can you help? Let us know at this link. We need a Webmaster - someone willing to learn the software we use and keep our website up to date.

Our state, nation and world

What is there to say? Our governor continues to veto common-sense legislation in order to support a leftist agenda. Our president seems unable to make it through a press conference without a serious misstatement and now Afghanistan is governed by a man on the FBIs terror list. The world continues to struggle with Covid.

On Saturday we remember the terrorist attack of twenty years ago. Where were you? Most of us can remember all the details. For me, like many in Chatham County, it's personal. My immediate boss and two co-workers were instantly killed when the Pentagon was struck; I could easily have been with them that day. Please never forget all the heroes that rushed into burning buildings in New York and Washington DC to save others.

But - the US remains the greatest nation in the world, the sun rises each day, and we live in a beautiful place in a great state. Let's stay positive, keep good relations with all our neighbors, and peacefully work to return our politics to conservative values.

Quote

Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world. --Daniel Webster
