Rhode Island Republican Assembly Meeting | Thursday

RIRARhode Island’s largest conservative organization (and sponsor of this blog), the RHODE ISLAND REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY, will hold its next general meeting on Thursday, October 8th, 2009.

The meeting will be held in the lower-level of the Tri-City Elk’s Lodge No. 14, at 1915 West Shore Road, in Warwick. For those wishing to eat before the RIRA meeting, a pasta buffet dinner is available between 6:00pm and 7:00pm. The cost for dinner is $7.50 per person. It is “all you can eat” and generally includes pasta, meatballs, soup, salad, and dessert. There is also a Cash Bar available. The RIRA business meeting starts promptly at 7:00PM, and generally lasts until around 9:00PM.

The guest speaker for the meeting will be Rhode Island Right to Life Executive Director Barth Bracy, who will be discussing pro-life legislative initiatives, amongst other things.

The RIRA is the Rhode Island affiliate of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies, a thoughtful national organization of GOP conservatives working to grow and strengthen the Republican Party in the tradition of President Ronald Reagan. This is a dinner meeting, and if you want to eat, you pay for your own meal. Any like-minded conservative Republican is welcome to attend.

For more information, please contact RIRA President Ray McKay at president [at] ri-ra [dot] org or NFRA Northeast Region Vice President Will Ricci at NEVP [at] ri-ra [dot] org or visit the RIRA web site at http://www.ri-ra.org.

Senator Talks About Republican Health Care Reform Ideas

ObamaCareSymbolRepublicans are slowly, but surely adapting to using technology to get their message out to the American people, largely by doing an end-run around the mainstream media.

On this episode of “The Senate Doctors Show,” which has been appearing regularly on YouTube, U.S. Senator John Barrasso, M.D., talks about Republican health care reform ideas that would reform health care in a step-by-step manner that lowers costs and expands access without having a trillion-dollar, Washington takeover of health care.
