Biased Piece by Jewish Men's Club
This past July, the Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs (FJMC) hosted their annual conference at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Philadelphia. Also sharing the venue was the Moms for Liberty (M4L) organization for their “Joyful Warriors National Summit”, which included guest speakers, former President Donald Trump, FL Gov. Ron DeSantis, former SC Gov. Nikki Haley, Cong. Byron Donalds and more.
The FJMC event supposedly focused on family, attracting younger members, fighting antisemitism, supporting Israel, and other non-political topics. However, reporting out of the event was anything but. An article published in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency newsletter and then shamelessly republished in the Washington Jewish Week highlighted disparaging remarks from FJMC members, use of “Hitler” and “Nazi book burning” references, support for the sexually graphic version “Diary of Anne Frank”, and attacks on all conservatives and Republicans.
As a fellow Jew, and the new MCGOP Jewish Community Liaison, I was stunned and disheartened by the hateful energy expended by FJMC members. What follows is my letter to the FJMC President regarding the event:

First GOP 24 Debate
Will former President Donald Trump show up at the first Republican Presidential debate in Wisconsin? Many people, both Republicans and Democrats feel the United States is in trouble, crime is spiraling out of control. Illegal immigration is fueling already desperate homeless numbers; violence is rampant across the country with more police officers being killed or injured in the line of duty; cost of living prices have sharply risen; food and energy inflation and public pessimism are rampant - and citizens are eager for demonstrable, reliable leadership.
The first televised debate featuring the most popular Republican candidates is Wednesday at 9 PM on FOX. President Trump so far has stated he won't participate, but there's a very diverse slate of candidates who will. Republican voters can compare old and young, male and female, people of different colors and religions - all offering their vision for a better America.

Ag Fair Fun, Friends, New Faces
By Laura Benson
The MCGOP had a highly successful week at the 74th Montgomery County Agricultural Fair and we thank all of you who stopped by to visit. We were there to encourage people to get involved and help us continue our quest towards positive change and outcomes at the local and state levels. We greeted thousands who passed our tent; raised awareness of the MCGOP and the 2T petition; met many new people of various faiths, ethnicities and political affiliations; and of course, got an earful from angry and frustrated MoCo residents and taxpayers. Some of the most popular questions were 1) How can I sign the 2T Petition?; 2) What is going on with MCPS?; 3) Why don’t the Democrats have a tent at the Fair? (because they are broke, owe the IRS back taxes and have a leadership crisis?); and, 4) Did you ever think you would see such corruption in our government?

The week was filled with both familiar and new faces and we did our best to encourage each other and share a laugh. There were also those moments that make time stand still such as the visiting Brazilian family each asking for a flag and then chanting “USA, USA” and a family whose three children serenaded us with the Star-Spangled Banner. We also were visited by some very impressive young conservatives who are trying to figure out these strange times and expressed how the school system has let them down. The good news is that they are very focused on charting their own path forward and not letting the social justice static deter them. TELL ME MORE>
WORK FOR THE ELECTIONS BOARD - PROTECT OUR BALLOT
Wednesday August 23 is Poll Worker Recruitment Day
In all the major democracies people watch each other to make sure the vote is fair and honest. Republicans have to do the same. Registrations in Montgomery County are almost 6 to 1 non-Republican. If there aren't enough Republican workers they'll still have the election, just pair up Independents with Democrat poll workers. Not the best option. We NEED folks to work.
Although these are volunteer positions they pay a stipend for the work. Though it’s typically a long day, shorter shifts and many different jobs are available. You should find something you can do - to help guarantee the vote is fair, all legal votes are counted and the ballots are secure. We NEED you.
Check HERE, see what you can do and sign up with the Board of Elections to help run a free, fair and timely election. Visit a MoCo Library on Wednesday August 23 to find more info.

Not One Democrat Stood Up
Not one elected Democrat on the Federal, State or County level has stood up and supported our citizens who are asking for their kids' freedom from sexualized content in "storybooks" taught by union teachers in the MC public schools.
Not one.
American citizens, newly immigrated or here for generations, are disappointed that the 7 women who make up the all-Democrat Montgomery County Board of Education won't honor the parents' religious right to opt-out their kids from sexualized education in the public elementary schools. Asian, African, European, Muslim, Christian, Jewish and others are denigrated by the all-Democrat political establishment in Montgomery County. One Councilmember uses degrading terms like "White Supremacists" and "Zionist Jews" to describe those who disagree with her.
"It's not about being anti-gay" said one mother. "It's about reading and talking about sex to my little kids without my knowledge or consent!"
Watch this video of their most recent plea at the Board of Education. We're sure you'll see someone who looks like you demonstrating their disappointment at the way the School Board's all Democrat members - as well as all the elected local and state Democrats, ignore their pleas to stop the public schools from using sexual content "storybooks" to sway their kids and turn them against the religious and moral teachings of their parents and grandparents.
NOT ONE elected Democrat has come to their defense or backed their viewpoint. They expected so much more from this land of democracy that they live in.
Not one.
Perhaps they should ask Terry McAuliffe of Virginia if he's changed his mind about whether Parents and Guardians should have a say in their kids' education. Governor Glenn Youngkin knows the answer.
