Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone survived the Runoff. I am certainly thankful it’s over and am looking forward to expanding the Conservative Republican Movement here in Milam County in November. I want to thank everyone for all their help during the primary and I hope you will all take the time in the next few months to help our wonderful candidates.
We are currently 98 days from the November Election and the retirement from public office of one Barack Obama. Election Day will be here before we know it so I wanted to take this time to mention a few ways we can all help our Republicans on the ballot in November.
Of most importance is the first item; don’t forget to mark your calendars for Monday, August 13th for our annual “Old-Fashioned Rally in the Park.” The Rally will be held at the Cameron City Park and will start at 5:00 in the afternoon with free hot dogs, lemonade, and ice cream. The Yoe High Band will play from 5:00 to 5:35 followed by the presentation of the candidates, elected officials and the speakers featuring our new Texas State Representative, Dr. Marsha Farney, and U.S. Rep Bill Flores who will be representing Milam County in Washington.
The Rally serves as a Town-Hall Meeting for Rep Flores here in Milam County and is the kickoff to the November 2012 Campaign. This will be Rep Flores first opportunity to really get a feel for the Conservative Grassroots Movement here in Milam County so please let’s fill the park. This is a special event where we all get the meet and speak with our elected officials and our Republican candidates for office – AND FREE FOOD!!
NOTE: Bring a lawn chair if you wish, seating is limited in the park!!
Two other items that need some quick addressing have to do with advertising.
First, your Republican Candidates need you support on the pocket book level. I know times are tough right now but it doesn’t take much. $5, $10, or $20 can go a long way. Currently, each of the seven candidates with an opponent in the fall will need your help to get the vote out and win. Too Many times candidates at the local level feel uncomfortable asking for monetary help so I ask each of you to contact these candidates and support them. If you don’t feel comfortable contacting them then contact me and I will be happy to help out however I can.
As an example of the help needed, Donna Orsag is purchasing more signs to help cover Milam County and that takes money. Let’s help Donna to reach her goal of $600.00 by Monday at the Rally. You can visit her website at http://donnaorsag.com ; or drop her an email at donnaorsag@hotmail.com – either way, I know she will appreciate is.
Second, we are now within the 90 window from Election Day so we can put up campaign signs. I ask and challenge each of you to get with one of the candidates and get a sign up. I would love to see the county plastered with signs for our GOP candidates. Remember, not everyone can donate money, but everyone can donate a little time to help these candidates out. I’ll be out this weekend trying to flood the county with signs!!
Here is a list of Republicans who need help to defeat a Liberal opponent this November. If you would like to contact these folks them give me a call or shoot me an email and I will be glad to help.
John Youngblood – District Judge
Bill Torrey – County Attorney
Donna Orsag – County Treasurer
Kolette Morgan – County Tax-Assessor
George Tomek – County Commissioner, Precinct 1
John Fisher – County Commissioner, Precinct 3
Fred Keefer – Constable, Precinct 4
Once again, thanks for the help and support everyone has given in the past and I look forward to seeing you all Monday night at the “Rally in the Park”!!
Thanks,
Bill
