NUDGE...NUDGE...NUDGE..
Consider this post a little NUDGE. We need more GOP candidates! Tuesday, February 15th is the first day to start circulating nomination petitions. This is the time to step up and consider running for office. We have to build our party from the ground up. If you want to see real, positive change in local politics, be that change. Throw your hat in the ring. This is crunch time, folks. We need candidates. We need to make sure there are Republicans running in every race. If you can't run, then do what we're doing in this post. Nudge someone. Get out there and MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Abraham Lincoln...
...If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.
...If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?
...America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
...Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
...How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.
...I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.
...I walk slowly, but I never walk backward.
...My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.

Revolution is afoot!
And so through the night went his cry of alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm,
A cry of defiance, and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a word that shall echo for evermore!
For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere.
...From The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)
Something absolutely stunning is happening in Massachusetts.
Revolution is afoot.
The special election to fill Ted Kennedy's seat, a seat the Democrats clearly thought was a slam-dunk "sure thing," is on the verge of going to Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown.

Our New Energy Crisis...
Pain at the Pump...
Folks, I don't know about you...but I'm tired of watching my paycheck fritter away with each hike in gas prices. I wince every time I get heating oil. I grimace whenever the air conditioner kicks on.
Energy isn't cheap, and it gets more expensive with each passing day.
I thought it might be useful to post a little something on how Republicans and Democrats approach solving the current energy crisis...and make no mistake, it's a crisis.
Republican Solutions:
More drilling...
More refineries...
Promote Coal...
...and Nuclear Power...
...and Renewable Energy, like Wind...
...and Solar Power!
The Democrat's Solutions:
Raise Taxes...
Lower Thermostats...
Put on a 'Carter Cardigan'...
...and everything will be just fine!
Let's face it folks...when it comes to solving our energy crisis the Democrats are...
...OUT OF GAS!

· Register Republican voters.
· Deliver Absentee Ballots to voters.
· Canvass with candidates.
· Distribute campaign material before an election.
· Make get-out-the-vote phone calls.
· Cover the poll on election day.
· Recruit and train volunteers.
· Identify, recruit, select, and support qualified Republican candidates.
· Help with Republican fund-raisers.
· Vote on endorsement of Republican candidates.
· Attend Republican meetings and events.
These duties may seem like a very big responsibility...but if you take it step-by-step and develop a well laid out plan in advance, you will find being a Committee Member is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences that you will ever have.
