FUTURE MEETINGS

It's been a generation since that crisp Autumn day in 2001 when our city and our nation stood still as unbelievable violence visited our land. One great  generation remembers it only in stories, others remember it as if it were yesterday, yet others recall wanting to come to this country as a beacon of freedom and democracy in a world gone mad.

We remember and honor those we lost, both in the attack and in the years after defending this nation from threats overseas. We remember our Montgomery County Congresswoman Connie Morella leading the Congress in song on the steps of the US Capitol - even though it was under threat at that time. We remember President Bush urging Americans not to go after our US Muslim brothers and sisters, and we remember pulling together after that fateful day.

We'll pull together again, we're more alike than not - and we'll push back against all the internal and outside forces always trying to tear us apart.

Let's go America, let's make things better to honor those whom we remember for their sacrifices.

God bless America.

TO VOLUNTEER TO MAKE CHANGE SIGN UP HERE>

The “Committee for Better Government” was formed to limit the number of consecutive four-year terms that the Montgomery County Executive may hold. Currently, the County Executive can have three consecutive terms before he/she is term limited. The purpose of this ballot petition is to secure enough signatures to get the question on the ballot for the 2024 election.

We want to ensure that no Montgomery County Executive serves more terms than the US President or the Maryland Governor. If it's good enough for Reagan, Obama, and Hogan, isn’t it good enough for our County? The two four-year term limit is consistent throughout most of the counties in Maryland. TELL ME MORE>

Congratulations to Kathleen Smero, who was selected by the MDGOP Executive Committee to fill the vacancy for 2nd Vice Chair! She will serve in the position until the special election at our fall convention.
