PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE for OCTOBER, 2012
My Fellow Republicans,
We were pleased to see how Mitt Romney performed in the debate
without the liberal media bias that has been protecting Obama. We saw
how pathetic Obama performed when asked hard questions without his
teleprompter. Now the only reply that liberals can give is that Romney
lied. No basis for this statement, but they just hope to say it enough and
maybe they will get away with it. It is up to us to not let that happen.
Please vote, and ask your relatives, neighbors, and friends to do the
same.
Let us not forget that we have our local candidate Bill Truex running for
County Commissioner in District #3, and he needs your support to beat
the Democrat opponent also running for that seat. Also, Paul Stamoulis;
Supervisor of Elections; Ken Doherty; County Commissioner District
#1, Trisha Duffy; County Commissioner, District #5, Vicki Potts; Tax
Collector, Paul Polk; Property Appraiser, and Barbara Scott; Clerk of
the Court, all have write in candidates opposing them. So, again, please
get out and vote.
Respectfully,
Ray Corcoran, President
