Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May to honor the men and women who served in the U.S. military. For many, the holiday marks a time to visit a military cemetery or a war memorial in remembrance of those who served and fought to defend the freedom of America. For most people, Memorial Day marks the unofficial beginning of summer though we should take the time to explain the true meaning of the day to children and young adults and have a moment of reflection or prayer at gatherings with family and friends.  

If I may add one more request to that list, it is time for all of us to step forward and carry the torch of defending our freedom and liberty just as those brave women and men did who served our country.

Why did Lakeforest Mall in Gaithersburg close? Some folks have said it's because of the economy - yet Wheaton Mall and Montgomery Mall are still operating. Others say it was the incidence of violent crime at the Mall and surrounding Transit Center- involving murders, robberies, rape and assault. Was it competition from Amazon delivery or fear of crime and violence? Do you have faith in the county government to deal with it...or is everything just fine?

Looting the Bethesda CVS

If you Defund, Disrespect and Devalue the Police. If you excuse crimes and send a signal of entitlement without consequences. If your schools teach "social activism" instead of social responsibility you reap a whirlwind of unrest. Check out this video of the looting of a CVS Store in Bethesda.

Tell Marc Elrich to support the police and put an end to crime and lawlessness.

Cut taxes, Unleash prosperity!

By Ann Guthrie Hingston

As County Executive Elrich and the County Council burden residents and businesses with tax increases, we celebrate tax cut crusader and economist, Stephen Moore, a Montgomery County Republican. Steve Moore advocates for a better method to increase tax revenue - reduce tax rates to unleash prosperity so businesses can create jobs and economic vitality.

Steve Moore is well known nationally as an economist, writer, television commentator and conservative organizer. He is a happy warrior who communicates often with humor. Recently his “Patriotic Millionaires Press Conference” went viral on Twitter as he pointed out the hypocrisy of “tax and spend” Democrats in Congress. See the video HERE>

Moore was influenced early in his career by Julian Simon,

County Executive Marc Elrich

By Dennis Melby

Part of our American Experience is welcoming legal immigrants. So many are now Republican voters. And so many are confused. They often fled horrible circumstances in their home country-fleeing socialism, communism, one party dictatorship, failing schools, crime, poverty and perverse government policies.

And now many of them are perplexed – what are you doing to your own country, they say. Hatred based on skin color, gender, income, religion and so much more. It’s what we left and you’re encouraging that same hatred and division here.

We get the same stories from new Republicans from Africa, China, North Korea and throughout the Latino and Hispanic world. And we hear you. We’ll stand up for what’s right, what’s true and what’s good. And if we have to stand alone so be it,  …but that’s not the case. More and more folks are joining us and standing up to those who’d like to “reimagine America” out of existence.

Thanks for joining us and standing with us.

We stand with you.
