FREED BLACK REPUBLICAN ROOTS OF MEMORIAL DAY
The Republican Party was founded before the American Civil War to counter the Democrats' demands to continue and expand Slavery in America. During the great conflict that followed over 600,000 troops lost their lives - as well as untold civilians. When southern black Americans were finally emancipated by the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, and given the right to vote, they registered and voted Republican - until the Democrats regained power in the South and took their rights away for decades.
The following story recalls how the black residents of Charleston gave a dignified burial to the Union Troops, honored their sacrifice and respected the memories of their fallen emancipators, years before Memorial Day was proclaimed. It was called Decoration Day, and those soldiers' remains were later moved to a national cemetery in Beaufort, S.C. READ THE ARTICLE HERE>

They're Raising Taxes - Again!
By Dennis Brent Melby
They’re raising taxes…again!
When times are good, employment is strong, wages are comfortable and inflation is low - Democrats raise
taxes.
- “It’s a good time” they say, “Folks can afford it and we have a need to help others” they say.
When times are bad, if government employees are laid off, inflation is at Biden levels- Democrats raise taxes.
- “There’s a real need!” they say, “So many folks need help, and we’ll only tax the well-off folks (who can afford to move).” We’ll make it progressive.
Tax and spend, tax and spend, and tax some more!
- Tax your home
- Tax your electricity
- Tax your energy
- Tax your property
- Tax your income
- ...make plastic bags illegal and then tax paper bags
- Yes, they once even tried to tax the rain!
Maybe there’s another way. Maybe others have better ideas. If there are fewer kids going to school maybe we don’t need as many teachers, and high paid administrators, and support staff, and lawyers to defend the Board of Education from stupid decisions. Maybe cut School Resource Officers…no wait…they've already done that on anti-cop grounds, not to help the budget.
DON'T VOLUNTEER? - CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT EQUALITY
Only about 10% of the Republican Judges we need have signed up. I can't complain they don't have Republican representatives when Republicans don't volunteer to serve. I need you, the Party needs you, the free and fair election process needs you. We need you now. Become a Republican paid volunteer here.
-Dennis Melby, Chairman
