Time to get to work!!!

Hello Everyone,

Well I thought we could take a little time off following the election and this month’s swearing in, but I guess not. In the last month we have been hit by a full force offensive in the blogosphere. Our Democrat friends are at it whole-heartedly writing on the internet. They are also working hard to raise money and “awareness” to get their message out prior to the 2012 election. I know that seems like it is far off, but in reality, it is just a little over ten months before people start filing for office again.

As reported in the January 10th County Commissioner’s Meeting, Milam County suffered a $700,000.00 deficit for 2010 and based on the budget passed by the Democrats last year Milam County will be strapped with a deficit that could be anywhere from $1.5 to $1.1 million in 2011. So much for that $1.1 million dollar reserve fund Judge Summers was boasting about during last year’s election. We need leadership in Milam County – Conservative Leadership. This is why we must get out and support organizations like the Republican Women of Milam County.

We need everyone’s help – your help. Please make plans to attend the February 10th Reagan Day Dinner and Texas Independence Celebration with guest speaker Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson. This will be the Republican Women of Milam County’s Fundraiser for 2011. Last year’s Dinner at 44 Farms raised nearly $15,000.00 that was used to fund our advertising and to provide the Republican Candidates with the money they needed to succeed.

Much was made of where the money the Republican Women raised came from; however, unlike the Democrat’s attack ads claimed, most of the money came from right here in Milam County. It was the hard work of the Republican Women and the generosity of Milam County residents who made the election successes of 2010 possible. Now we need to repeat that feat!

Please take the time to secure your tickets for the February 10th Dinner and let’s get the word out to our friends, family, and neighbors. We have shown that you can be a proud Republican in Milam County. It’s up to each of us to continue our conservative movement to make Milam County Government an open book run by public servants who are truly working to make Milam County a better, more prosperous home for us and our children.

To purchase your tickets for February 10th, just send me an email at williamwhitmire@yahoo.com and I will get them to you or have one of the individuals selling tickets get in touch with you.

See Ya’ February 10th,
Bill
