Greetings!
It has been another busy week here at the Republican Party. We had a very successful Lincoln Dinner on Saturday at Veterans Auditorium. We got to hear from a number of speakers including Congressman King, Congressman Latham, Senator Grassley, Lt. Governor Reynolds, Secretary of State Schultz, Senate Minority Leader Behn, Majority Leader Upmeyer and of course our featured speaker, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. Mr. Cuccinelli spoke about his challenge to Obamacare and how we must defeat President Obama in November and repeal this atrocious law. Our nation can never hope to recover if it is saddled down by Obamacare. He also spoke about the need for individuals to fight for limited government at the local as well as national level. I particularly enjoyed seeing lots of old and new friends and want to thank our speakers and everyone who attended for helping to make it a great event.
The committees for our state convention in June also met this past weekend. I would like to thank all the grassroots individuals who served on the platform, nominating, rules and credentials committees.
