Who are we?

The Bay Area Republican Women typically meet the fourth Wednesday of each month, excluding June and July. Our meetings are again being held at Bailey's American Grille, 2320 NASA Parkway in Seabrook. The purpose of BARW is to promote an informed electorate through political education, increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government through active political participation, facilitate cooperation among Republican women of Texas, foster loyalty to the Republican Party and to promote its ideals, and work for the election of the Republican Party's nominees.

Next meeting

The next monthly meeting of BARW is scheduled for Wednesday, January 28th, 11:30 a.m., at Bailey's American Grille in Seabrook. Our guest speaker will be for US Rep. Tom DeLay. Tom DeLay is the former House Majority Leader, the second ranking leader in the United States House of Representatives and founder of the "Coalition For A Conservative Majority".

A native Texan, Tom DeLay was born along the banks of the Rio Grande River in the historic border city of Laredo on April 8, 1947. DeLay graduated from the University of Houston in 1970 with a degree in biology. DeLay was a successful businessman when in 1978, he ran for an open Texas State House seat that had never before elected a Republican. Excited by the prospect of lowering taxes and excess regulations, DeLay rolled up his sleeves and impressed enough voters to win the election. After serving in Austin for six years, he succeeded in becoming the first Republican Fort Bend County ever elected to the United States Congress. Over the course of his congressional career, DeLay has built a voting record that consistently supported limited, constitutional government, peace through strength, lower taxes, and the sanctity of life.

DeLay and his wife Christine share a deep interest in the circumstances facing abused and neglected children. As a result, the DeLays became foster parents themselves. Today, they are outspoken advocates in favor of reforming the present foster care system by making the child's best interest the paramount concern.

In 2006, conservatives were beaten at the polls for the first time in years. But unlike in previous defeats, conservatives this time were beaten at what we have always done best: grassroots organization, coordination, and mobilization. For six years now, former leaders of the Clinton Administration have studied and surpassed the conservative grassroots network, creating a liberal coalition unprecedented in its size, scope, and funding. This is the network that beat conservatives in 2006 and handed Congress back to the Democrat Party. Since leaving Congress Tom DeLay has been observing what the Democrats have done and has laid the the groundwork for the Republicans to fight back - The Coalition for a Conservative Majority.

The members of BARW wish you and your familes the very happiest of Holiday Seasons! We look forward to seeing you all in the new year!
