The year, it is said, could change history, depending on how voting goes in our general election. In a few short weeks we will know who our presidential candidate will be and of course we will be voting for our local and state candidates. I urge everyone to be as informed as possible. There is much at stake in all elections this year. Make a pledge to our club that you are willing to do what is need to get the job done. Your life may not depend on what happens but certainly the way our lives and futures are to be lived is, and we must not take for granted that the current President cannot be re-elected, as I for one, do not believe that to be true. The current President has his supporters. They believe he has done a good job. Then there are those whose livelihood depend on his generosity in redistributing our wealth. They certainly have a lot to lose if he does not get elected and therefore they will move mountains to keep him there. Our task is to work now, to get the person we most desire nominated for President and then work our fingers to the bone to make sure he/she is elected in November. Lilian Norman Keeney Campaign Activities Chair Election Season is Here - January 2012The long awaited 2012 election will be held in November, but now is the time for our club to organize and build our membership. There is strong interest in this election and we can double our membership if each person brings one person to BARW. The more people we have supporting our Republican candidates, the more success the Republicans will have in November. There will be lots to do and a flexible schedule available so everyone can be involved. We will offer interested people information, supply an application, and answer any question they may have. There are still several people who have not renewed for this year. Work has already begun on the new directory and we want everyone to be included. BARW welcomes ALL our new members. Let’s keep adding to the list! Thank you to all our hard working members and I am looking forward to a prosperous Republican 2012.
