We will discuss which candidates are the true conservatives, answer questions about specific races, and explain what you can do to help defeat the liberal politicians who are destroying our country.

Sun., Oct. 18: Premiere showing of "Not Evil Just Wrong"
A libertarian student group at OSU has secured a showing of the world premiere of the documentary film, “Not Evil Just Wrong” on October 18 at 7pm in Milam Auditorium on the OSU campus. ∴ This is a wonderful opportunity for our community. It will be shown free of charge and is open to the public.The movie is essentially the opposite of “An Inconvenient Truth”. It was put together by a husband-wife team of Irish filmmakers who have spent years documenting the Global Warming scam, the truth behind it, and the negative impact this doctrine will have on our society and our world. I have met these two, and they are amazing people. They started out as young, environmentalist, greenie types very much in line with the global warming doctrine, but like myself as they continued on this path what they found completely changed their view of science, the IPCC, so-called “environmental” causes, and the “green movement”.
Please feel free to come, bring a guest, and tell any and all of your friends, acquaintances, and groups and organizations you are involved with. Put it on your calendar! You might want to show up early. There is great demand from students today to know the truth and this showing could be standing-room only. Read More......

Do you feel there have to be other alternatives and solutions to health care reform than just the massive spending and government takeover proposed by President Obama and the Democrats? ∴ Then come to a real town hall meeting, hosted by the Marion County Republicans and co-sponsored by FreedomWorks and the Salem 9-12 Project, on Wednesday August 26th, from 6:30-8:30p.m., at the Salem First Baptist Church (395 Marion St. NE). ∴ If going to one of the town hall meetings sponsored by your senator or representative has left you feeling intimidated or that you won’t be listened to, then this meeting is for you. ∴ Most importantly, this town hall meeting will feature conservative, limited government solutions and alternatives. It will also highlight you and your ideas. After a short presentation, the meeting will be turned over to the audience. We’ll feature an open mic where you can offer your thoughts, feelings, opinions, and ask questions. (We ask that you please limit your time to one minute to allow as many voices as possible.)
The entire event will be video taped. Elected officials will be invited but if they don’t make an appearance, they’ll be sent a DVD of the event to ensure they hear your opinions. After the event, additional video booths will be set up for those who didn’t get a chance or didn’t wish to speak during the main event. We will also compile the ideas and solutions gathered during the event and send them along with the DVD.
The doors will open at 6:00 so the event can start promptly at 6:30. Come early to ensure SEIU, ACORN and other leftist activists don’t take your seat. Bring your signs, your passions, and your solutions!
P.S. Any questions, please direct them to Mark Anderson at marketing@marioncountygop.org. Read More......
