The Hanover County Republican Committee is opening the new year with a new Educational Lecture Series that will kick off this month at Life Church in Mechanicsville on Monday, March 15 at 6:30 pm.        

Our guest speaker will be Jason Miyares, who is running on the Republican ticket for Attorney General. His topic will be very timely subject “The Dangers of Socialism”. Jason’s mother fled the horrors of Communist Cuba at a young age to start a new life in free America. In America, she successfully forged that life while raising three sons in Virginia Beach.        

Over the past two months, I have received scores of phone calls from Hanover County residents interested in working with the Hanover Republican Committee to elect Republicans at all levels of the County. Some have also expressed interest in running for office as well. All our Magisterial District Chairmen are interviewing these new recruits to find good spaces for them within our organization.        

In the wake of the November election, I shared many residents’ fury at what appears to have been a stolen presidential election. I also shared their fury at the lack of leadership shown by Republican leaders in Congress in their failure to back the president Donald Trump. It is tough to see that many top Congressional Republicans prefer their positions to hold prestige without responsibility instead of using their power to save this country. If these men and women prefer to hold ceremonial positions, then maybe they should not be holding any positions at all. It is clear that these Republicans and Democrats are happy to sell out the middle and working classes of the United States, in order to make millions in a system rigged against us and even more unsettling in some cases doing business with our enemy China.       

For that reason, we must build a more efficient system from the ground up to elect conservative Republicans to every office in Hanover County. A well-run locality, state, and country requires good people in positions at every level, from supervisor to constitutional offices all the way up to president. Possibly most important, conservatives must make sure that our children are not being taught to hate us in schools. Our supervisors must appoint conservatives to local school boards. The people calling to join our Republican Committee want ACTION, not idleness. We must not let ourselves hold ceremonial positions. It is time we take back the Republican Party and that starts locally.       

If you want more information on the November election, please read this article that was written in the corporate press outlet “Time Magazine”. The Democrats are openly bragging about what they did to “take out” Donald Trump. For an excellent response from a conservative perspective, you can read this article at The Federalist.
