Veterans Day Message from Rep. John Loughlin

Posted on November 11, 2009 by The Ocean State Republican

JohnLoughlinIt was on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month on the eleventh hour that the First World War ended. Today, however, we reflect upon and celebrate the service of all of our veterans, their families and remember those who still proudly serve.

It is with great admiration and appreciation that I wish to thank all who served to defend our liberties. As you and your families enjoy a holiday together, please join us in remembering America’s fine men and women of the military.

I would also ask that you keep the men and women of Ft. Hood and their families in your prayers as well.

On behalf of the Loughlin family, I would like to extend to you best wishes on this Veteran’s day and do remember, freedom is not free.

Thank you to our veterans and their families, November 11, 2009.

Rep. John J. Loughlin II

Republicans Edge Democrats on Generic Congressional Ballot

Posted on November 11, 2009 by The Ocean State Republican

elephant-donkey“Over the course of the year, independents’ preference for the Republican candidate in their districts has grown.”

Republicans have moved ahead of Democrats by 48% to 44% among registered voters in the latest update on Gallup’s generic congressional ballot for the 2010 House elections, after trailing by six points in July and two points last month.

The Nov. 5-8 update comes just after Republican victories in the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial elections, which saw Republicans replace Democrats as governors of those states.

As was the case in last Tuesday’s gubernatorial elections, independents are helping the Republicans’ cause. In the latest poll, independent registered voters favor the Republican candidate by 52% to 30%. Both parties maintain similar loyalty from their bases, with 91% of Democratic registered voters preferring the Democratic candidate and 93% of Republican voters preferring the Republican.
