MEETING MATT JOHNSON

One of our youngest committee members, Matt, is 20 years old.  He was born and lives in Silver Spring.  Matt attended St. John the Evangelist, a Catholic elementary school, and Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C. Living near the Metro station was a big advantage making his travel around the city much easier. He loves being a city boy as he describes himself.

CPAC is traditionally held in the Washington DC area.  This year because of restrictions, the organizers took the show on the road to sunny Florida.  If you’ve never attended CPAC in person but only viewed online, I’d really recommend that you try to make it next time.  We who live in Montgomery County, where one party rule and cancel culture run rampant, can easily forget that there are millions of people throughout America who share our conservative values.

If you reside in Montgomery County, the “Climate Action Plan” under consideration by the County Council, might soon make the climate for you living a free, comfortable, and prosperous life here decidedly chilly. Bitter cold, in fact.

The Plan, developed pursuant to the Council’s 2017 resolution initiating an “Emergency Climate Mobilization,” is a political declaration rather than a scientific examination, predetermined that the Plan itself would impose heavy-handed and costly burdens on citizens and businesses alike.

Rep. Jeannette Rankin from Montana, the first woman to serve in the House of Representatives, paved the way for conservative icon Clare Boothe Luce.  Born in New York City in 1903, Luce attended the Cathedral schools in Garden City and Tarrytown, New York, graduating first in her class in 1919 at age 16.

A Direct Descendant of Margaret Brent...

As we celebrate Woman’s History month, it is apropos to highlight one of our own Trail Blazers of women’s right to vote. Prior to Susan B. Anthony, there was Margaret Brent of Saint Mary City, an historic city in the southern part of the Maryland Colony.

The Year was 1624, a young single woman immigrated from England to the New World seeking religious freedom.

Braver Angels (BA) was founded in late 2016 in response to the increasing rancor and polarization between conservatives and liberals in America.  Its founders started the organization shortly after the 2016 presidential election when they discovered two startlingly different reactions to the election from neighbors in their respective homes of rural Ohio and the Upper West Side of Manhattan.   In short, the Manhattanites were having a funeral and the rural Ohioans were having a party.   Are we really that different?

Anyone who has read George Orwell’s 1984 isn't too surprised with this country’s current direction. But many people are hazy on the "how" and the "why.”

According to the National Association of Scholars, in 2018, the ratio of Democrat to Republican professors at liberal arts schools was 10.4:1.  If you exclude West Point and Annapolis, it is 12.7:1.  Since there are about as many Republicans as Democrats, this far exceeds the bounds of a prima facie case of discrimination.

Our Party is funded by grassroots donors and organizers, without folks like you, we would not succeed as a party.

If you have a few dollars to spare, chipping in now will help the Republican Party win our State and our Nation back in 2022.
