It’s the start of election season … When politicians of all ilks promise to do the impossible, without an increase in taxes, while giving us free stuff…

Don’t believe it…

• Look around… we see our legislators continuing to allow Montgomery County to be used as the ATM for the state, allowing the failing Baltimore schools to get $30,000 in state funding for each student while Montgomery County gets approximately $5,500 per student.
• Look around … Maryland and Montgomery County's sanctuary policies are making us a dumping ground for illegal aliens.
• Look around … The County Council is working to defund the police - as crime increases dramatically.
• Look around … The Montgomery County Public School System is teaching principles of critical race theory (CRT) in our schools.
• Look around … The County Government is instituting “Thrive 2050” which will shape our communities to eliminate single family homes without increasing infrastructure and promoting $600,000 “affordable housing”.

We are the local Republican Party, MCGOP, and we want to make a change in our county. There are over 100,000 registered Republicans in Montgomery County and scores of unaffiliated/independent voters who are fed up with the way our county is headed.

We have an unparalleled opportunity to make a difference in Montgomery County and counter the actions of the County Council and Legislators. Our goal is to make a difference by educating our citizens, digging deep, past the sugar-coated propaganda that the County Government is feeding us and getting a simple, common-sense message out to the voters.

MODERATOR - DENNIS MELBY

Dennis Melby, who is a former Party Chairman, Town Councilmember and Association President, will serve as moderator.

TONIGHT’S TOPIC:

For the past nine months, the Biden Regime has systematically uprooted, turned off, and eliminated the plethora of effective policies, regulations, agreements, and executive actions by the Trump Administration regarding illegal immigration, the southern border and internal enforcement.  We have gone from near completion of the Border Wall, ever declining numbers of illegal entries through the “Remain in Mexico” policy and elimination of the foolhardy “Catch and Release” program, increasing internal arrests and removals of illegal alien criminals and gang members via 287g and other programs, to a Biden sponsored national disaster.  A virtual tsunami of illegal crossings by citizens of nearly every nation combined with dramatically less domestic enforcement and removals, with no end in sight!  If trends continue unabated, we will receive more than two million uninvited 'guests' to our country in 2021.  From the Biden Regime perspective, that means of course potentially 2 million new Democrat voters.  

With the aiding and abetting of the movement and sustainment of these illegal border jumpers by federal agencies and hired non-government organizations, illegal aliens are being bused, flown, feed and housed in all 50 states including Maryland without our knowledge or consent.  Given no more than a good luck pat on the back (vaya con dios) and a meaningless piece of paper that says to show up in federal Immigration Court 2-3 years from now, these unknown, uneducated, non-English speaking persons, not tested for COVID or other diseases, are in the wind nationwide. Headed of course for our Maryland (often sanctuary) communities, public school systems, social welfare programs, low wage jobs and voting facilities.  Makes life easier for cartel members, human and drug traffickers, terrorists, and gang members who are exploiting the reckless incompetence of the Biden White House.

Our speakers tonight, Sheriff Chuck Jenkins, Tom Homan and Dale Wilcox are all too familiar and experienced with this ongoing national crisis and with provide our audience with insights, possible solutions and potential actions we can take as concerned citizens.  The future of America hangs in the balance until we solve this all-encompassing problem.
