October 2018 Chairman’s Notes

October 2018 Chairman’s Notes

“The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing.” John Adams

We have all known and understood what the new face of the modern Democrat Party looks like, but it hasn’t been clearer than it has been in the past 14 days. The modern Democrat Party has put it all out on the table. They are holding no more cards close to the vest. I am sure that I am not alone in saying this, but this is a new low for our Country as a whole. Are we as Republicans going to let the Democrats get away with this?

I hope that the answer is no.

We need take the advice of former White House Chief of Staff for Obama, Rahm Emanuel and “never let a good crisis go to waste.” People are upset, and rightfully so. If there has even been a time that we need to unite as a party, it is now. There is an election in November. This is when our voices will be heard. We must be louder than the Democrats to win in November. If we don’t win, and the Democrats regain power, we know what we will see for the next two years: impeachments and investigations. This is not speculation; this is the platform that the Democrats are running on.

We all need to do our part. Can we count on you? Can our candidates count on you?

NOVEMBER 6th GENERAL ELECTION

There are remaining training dates and times for inside poll watchers and outside volunteers. The location will be at the Porter Library, located at 2001 Parkway Blvd, Stafford. Please mention the training sessions to your friends and try and bring at least one person with you. RSVP is encouraged for proper head count. The remaining dates and times are as follows:

October 10th 1-5pm (Wed), October 25th 6-9pm (Th), and October 27th 1-5pm (Sat).

Also, if there campaigns or groups that have at least 5 volunteers, we can arrange to come and conduct the training for the group on a date and time other than the ones listed above.

MAGISTERIAL CHAIRS NEEDED

We still need of volunteers for some of the districts. This is an important role and a vital part of the Election Day process. If anyone has interest, please contact me. We will be holding elections at our October meeting for the 4 open Magisterial District Chair positions. Candidates for the Rock Hill and Garrisonville Districts have stepped up and will be seeking the seat in their respective districts. We are still in need of candidates in the Hartwood and Griffis-Widewater Districts.
