October 16th & 17th Events

Hello My Friends,

Well it’s Friday and it must be close to the start of Early Voting. Want to know how I can tell. It’s simple really, the Rockdale Fair is in full swing, our county roads are getting worked on almost daily, and the Democrats have started hitting the papers with their ads spouting the untruths about what a Republican Victory will mean. Well I guess I should be happy though, at least their ads say “When Republicans Win” and not “If Republicans Win.”

Anyway, safe to say we are into the last few weeks before Election Day, Early voting starts Monday, and the Democrats here in Milam County are like all the others throughout the state and country – SCARED!

Now is the time to hit the accelerator and show Milam County a True Conservative. We had a tremendous start during the Primary but now we need to step it up and make our voices heard. To do that we need everyone’s help and you can show your support by getting out with us this Saturday and Block Walking in Cameron and Rockdale.

Tomorrow, Saturday October 16th, we will be meeting at 9:30 am to block walk from about 10:00 till lunch time. We will meet for donuts and handouts in Cameron at the Party Headquarters located on 106 S. Travis between Citizens National Bank and the First Baptist Church. In Rockdale we will meet at the old Wal-Mart Parking lot across from McDonalds. At both places we will have the aforementioned Donuts and Handouts to fuel you for the walk and supply you for the walk.

It should only take about an hour and a half to two hours and we will finish by lunch where we can all meet for Pizza, or whatever else we want to try. I know this is a busy Saturday with the fair, but it will only be about two hours and then you have the rest of the day. Last week we had a good showing in Cameron but only six folks in Rockdale, we need your help.

Sunday, October 17th at 1:00 pm, there will be a Meet and Greet at Big Bob’s Steakhouse in Cameron. Come out and meet the candidates and discuss the issues with them. Bob will be serving some of his finest Fried Catfish with all the trimmings so come on out and enjoy an afternoon of fine Conservative fellowship. Like always, everyone is invited!

Party Headquarters will be open each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from now until the election from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Come on in and pick up some signs, stickers, pamphlets, or come one in for some answers to your questions. We are here for you, so come on by and check us out.

We are entering the time when most people are making their choices as to who they will vote for and we all need to help each other. Yes it is the candidates who are running, but they are running to serve us all and as such county government is what you make of it. If you want Milam County to be strong then you need to get out and take some ownership of it by getting to know the candidates, supporting the candidates, and volunteering some time or money to help these campaigns that will help move Milam County forward. GETTING MILAM COUNTY BACK TO WORK is our motto and we believe it is what Milam County Government should be working for rather than of allowing it to stagnate as it has done for the last twenty years under the severe lack of leadership we have seen under many of these current Milam County Democrats.

I appreciate all the help we have gotten so far and hope to see everyone out Block Walking tomorrow or on October 30th when we have our final Saturday of County-Wide Block Walking. If you have any questions or concerns for me or any of the candidates, please feel free to contact me or go to our webpage at www.milamgop.org where you will find links to the emails of the candidates and the party leadership here in Milam County.

Thanks Again,
Bill

Monday night was the second of two wonderful events put on by two couples who are concerned about the direction of Milam County and want to make a difference in helping conservative Republicans win November 2nd.

Sunday Night Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Lister sponsored a Mexican Fiesta-Style Rally at their home in Maysfield complete with a band, folk dancers, and fireworks. Thanks you to the Lister’s for their hospitality.

Last night, October 11th, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Kubiak sponsored a Meet and Greet for Dave Barkemeyer and the rest of the Republican candidates at Taqueria Banda’s. About 70 people made their way to the event and spoke with candidates as the casual come and go function was a tremendous success. Thanks to the Kubiak’s for their generosity.

Remember, all the candidates have been out block walking and the response has been very positive to date. Now we need everyone’s help with this so if you have a chance, don’t miss out on the final two County-Wide Block Walks the 16th and 30th of October, both of these are Saturdays. We will meet at 9:30 am. We are working to make a real move towards a conservative County Government that will work better with our state and federal leadership. To do that we need to elect our Republican Candidates and support them during this election by donating to their campaigns, volunteering your time, or by bringing your friends and family to events to let them speak with the candidates directly.

Remember, October 19th is the Rally at Fair Park in Rockdale. We will be starting this about 6:00 at the New Salem Building at Fair Park in Rockdale. Everyone plan on attending and come out and meet your Republican Candidates. All of our local candidates will be there and I have invited all of our state and federal candidates as well.

If you’re in Cameron Sunday, October 17th, stop by Big Bob’s Steakhouse around 1:00 till 4:00 pm and enjoy some fried catfish with the candidates sponsored by Bob Terry and the Republican Women of Milam County.

Well, more later, Thanks to everyone for your support and help,
