First Day of Filing for the 2012 Primary!!
Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone had a Wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Tomorrow is the beginning of the 2012 election with the opening day for filing for the 2012 Primary Election. I will be opening the doors of the Party Headquarters at 8:00 to start accepting applications and will be there until about 9:45 when I will take a short break to attend the County Commissioners meeting at the Courthouse. Depending on the length of the meeting I will take a short lunch and be back to man the office until 5:00. If anyone is unable to make it to the headquarters tomorrow then please feel free to give me a call at 254-482-0354 and I will be glad to arrange a meeting for applying for a place on the primary ballot.
I am very excited about this year’s election and look forward to meeting with all the candidates. For them this is a big step as running for office is now small task. The folks are willing to give up their own time and sacrifice of themselves to serve us. This is why we should all do what we can to show our support and help them as they work to continue to bring conservative change to Milam County; a change that we saw take root in the 2010 election.
The media has asked that we have a few people on hand for some pictures around 9:30 so please feel free to come by around 9:30 and be a part of the fun. For the candidates I hope you take the media up on this offer of free publicity. You can apply whenever you like but please come by around 9:30 for some pictures with the newspapers. I will be taking photos of the candidates for our website so to those folks I would say look good for the camera.
This is an important election; with redistricting taken over by the courts to benefit the Democrats and the inaction of elected officials in federal offices we all need to all work together to help insure that we elect true conservatives who will work with us to create a better future for our children and grandchildren. Thanks to everyone for your help and I look forward to working with everyone in the years to come.
See You Soon,
Bill

It is October, Are You Ready?
Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to touch base with you all and let you know where things stand right now and to let everyone know about some up-coming events in the next few weeks. It’s an exciting time with the filing period for the 2012 primary only a little over a month away – get Ready!!
With all the excitement of the national campaign for president, we have begun to generate quite a bit of enthusiasm here in Milam County. Currently we have 12 GOP candidates for 9 of the 11 races on the local 2012 ballot. The two slots that are still open are looking like they could be filled pretty soon though so we are anxiously awaiting the filing period to begin to solidify those positions.
Anyway you look at it, we have moved quite far down the road from the days when we were lucky to have one or two candidates on the local Milam County GOP Ticket, thanks to everyone for their support in that effort!
The month of October also sees us with a couple of events that might provide you the opportunity to continue your involvement, or begin to get involved. Either way, we would welcome your participation and look forward to seeing you.
October 10th the Milam County Tea Party conservatives will be holding their monthly meeting at the Budget Host Suite & Inn located in Cameron just off Hwy 36. The meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. and along with the usual business they will be looking into the 2011 Constitutional Amendment Election and will also have a candidate, or three or four, on hand for you to meet and talk to.
October 18th the Republican Women of Milam County will be holding their monthly meeting at 6:30 at the Budget Host Inn & Suites in Cameron. This will be their normally scheduled meeting and they will be discussing the up-coming Constitutional Amendment Election and will hopefully have some special guests also. Remember, there are male memberships to this organization also and many men to come and participate.
Both of these meetings are an excellent opportunity to meet fellow conservatives and begin to get involved or stay involved. I welcome you all to both of these meetings and hope to see you all there.
Great things are happening in Milam County and we are looking forward to the 2012 election but we need your help. We invite you to come out, get involved, and be a part of the Party!!
See You Soon,
Bill
