Political Field Trip

Today we went to the unveiling of the new Republican headquarters for our county. Well in actuality it is the campaign HQ for a man named Keith Rothra, that is running for republican chairman. He says he wants to bring unity to the fragmented Republican Party. If he wins it will be the official Republican HQ. I think this is a good thing as we have no official place for the party now. I looked up the current chairman's website and all it is is a blank page with a place to send an email. I can't say that I know what the current chairperson has done because I have not gotten involved until now. At least Mr. Rothra wants to do something and bring about change. He seems very enthusiastic about it.
I read over his website and I agree with the majority of what he says except his stand on the war. This is not surprising since Ron Paul is the only Republican wanting to bring the troops home. At least he is willing to use his HQ to publicize ALL candidates and let our RP meet up group leader leave RP fliers/signs for people to take if they wanted them! We went to show support for Ron Paul and for homeschoolers. I think it is good for kids to see that political issues are important and to get involved as a family! Thank you Ron Paul for curing my political apathy!!

  1. I found your blog through an internet search and rabbit trail. So nice to see another homechool blog and family for Dr. Ron Paul who has entries and YouTube videos. I do too. My husband and I have looked seriously at Duncan Hunter and Mike Huckabee but neither compare to Dr. Paul and his knowledge of the Constitution. He understands and protects the Constitution in both word and deed.

    Blessings!

  2. im glad to see you are getting involved in politics. welcome from someone who has been involved in the republican party for more than fourty years.

    nice blog but you are wrong about one thing. you should know that there is a local headquarters during election years and that the job of a county chairman is administrative. its not the chairmans job to favor any one candidate in a primary election, and ive never scene any candidate denied the right to put his fliers and signs in the headquarters. theres been confusion in the past because a splinter group opened a competing headquarters to cause division.
