ARE YOU HEARING THIS RANT FROM ANYONE YOURSELF?
IF SO, GIVE AS GOOD AS YOU GET!

I’d just sat down to lunch last week when, out of the blue, I received a phone call from someone I know who immediately launched into a tirade about receiving a postcard from the Biden campaign.

“Why aren’t you Republicans doing this?” she ranted. “I did not get one piece of mail from you before the primary. No wonder the Democrats have taken over here!” She’s an independent who leans right, so I was grateful to hear her ire over the Democrats, but my wrath was rising with accusations that the MCGOP wasn’t doing anything. Plus, the piece she received was from a national campaign with scads more money.

 “You need to bring in some high-profile influencers. A celebrity, who will energize the people, especially younger ones. Really get their attention,” she went on, mentioning a few artists. “Any good contacts?” I responded, knowing personally how difficult it is to book speakers for our events, let alone Drake or Lil’ Wayne.

I then explained how we’d recently held our county convention and that former ICE Director, Tom Homan, and Sebastian Gorka, a well-known former Senior Advisor to Trump, both spoke and that we had over 200 attendees. While neither performed hip-hop, they did give crowd-pleasing and rousing speeches.

“Why didn’t I know about the convention? Why wasn’t it advertised?”

Why have we had over 12,000 views of the Ad on our Montgomery County Republican Party Facebook site so far?

Everyone who speaks Spanish is not the same...but the Republican message resonates with almost everyone!

Indeed, we're all the same...we're all different. All English speakers don't come from the same places and backgrounds, the same for Hispanics. In our diverse MoCo our top languages are English, Spanish, Chinese and then follow the chart with almost every language under the sun.

MCGOP has a Spanish language ad on La Jefa AM 700 WDMV, produced by the Maryland GOP Hispanic-Latino Outreach Committee.

If you speak Spanish check it out. HERE.

Essentially it says Vote Republican...you can't afford NOT TO!

The Montgomery County Republican Party

Survey from last week was interesting. So far Biden and Obama got no votes, most popular Democrat President in the past 50 years among Republicans was Clinton, followed by Carter!

As we go on to the election in November it might help to look at the past and see what's relevant.

Most stories were of Republicans, Democrats and Independents working together, with thoughtfulness and humor, to make democracy work. Thanks for keeping it civil and making our choices known.

Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich gave his State of the County (SOTC) address on May 2^nd, 2024. He lamented that our Police Department is understaffed, and it has a recruitment problem. But what he did not say was that his own policy helped make that happen. You can help the Committee for Better Government limit him to two terms, but you must act soon. Ten thousand valid signatures must be gathered by August 2024. (See below).

So why is the Montgomery County Police Department “almost 170 officers short?” According to Elrich, “We can’t even field the people we need to cover the county right now.” It will “at best take 2 to 3 years to get it back on track to staff this department.” “We cannot operate with these few police officers.”

Montgomery Perspective quotes the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge 35. “The low morale is driven by laws, enacted or proposed, that have had negative effects on the way law enforcement officers do their job.”
