Barrington School Committee Special Election | Tuesday

Posted on January 17, 2011 by The Ocean State Republican

We have the opportunity to help score the first election win of 2011. Chris Ramsden is running for Barrington School Committee and has a great shot to win. Election day is Tuesday, January 18th. Yep, that is tomorrow. We need to start off this year with a positive showing and deliver real political capitol to a solid GOP candidate. Here are your six reasons to get off your butt and create some action for Chris Ramsden…

1. Chris has been a Barrington resident for 17 years and understands the issues facing Barrington Public Schools and has perspective to help guide our school system in the future.

2. Chris is a parent of two high school aged children and is married to a pre-school teacher.

3. Chris is a US Navy veteran. He served five years as an engineering officer onboard the USS Elliot, a destroyer based out of San Diego CA.

4. Chris is a solutions focused pragmatist who is fiscally responsible.

5. Chris has 25 years of business experience in budgeting, finance, operations and large construction projects.

6. Chris is the CEO of a successful local business with 185 employees and has leadership needed to guide Barrington Public Schools.

Great, now that you and I agree that Chris is a great candidate, let’s win this election. Two easy ways to get in the game.

• Make phone calls: All you need to do is email me at Ryan [at] rVotes [dot] com with your first and last name. An account will be created and you can make calls from the comfort of your snow covered abode. Making 20 calls take less than 40 minutes and shows that you are in the Rhode Island Young Republicans to help elect RIGOPers into office. Chris McAuliffe is helping make calls and he is in Florida right now. No excuse, email me and knock-out 20 calls. The YR with the most calls will win a HUGE iTunes gift card worth $50.

• Canvass Barrington: We are looking for volunteers to walk Barrington and drop literature today and to work the polls on Tuesday. This is a great way to help educate the voters of Barrington and prove that YRs are willing to get the grunt work down. Interested in helping? Hit up Pat Sweeney and tell him you are in it to win it. Pat Sweeney’s email is patricksweeneyesq [at] gmail [dot] com.

Less than 36 hours ‘til polls close in Barrington. What are you going to do to help deliver the first RIGOP win? Time to get active. This is a huge opportunity and we will make the most if it. After last year’s political cycle, some think the Rhode Island Young Republicans are more of a social club than a political organization. I have heard the following… “When there is an open bar, you will find a YR”. Well, true as that may be, we are also a talented crew that has political strength to deliver. Make 20 calls or help Chris out today and tomorrow. Get the first win for 2011, so we can say the “Rhode Island Republican Party has won 100% of elections in 2011.”

Questions? Call me up at 847.858.9300 anytime.

Respectfully submitted,

Ryan Neil Lund
Secretary of Offense
Rhode Island Young Republicans

Rhode Island Republican Assembly Meeting | January 13

Posted on January 9, 2011 by The Ocean State Republican

This is a friendly reminder that Rhode Island’s largest Conservative organization, the RHODE ISLAND REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY, will hold its next general meeting on Thursday, January 13th, 2011.

Thank you to the over one-hundred members and guests who attended our 6th annual Christmas Party on December 18th. It was a tremendously successful and enjoyable evening!

This month’s RIRA 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, dinner is available between 6:00pm and 7:00pm. The cost for dinner is about $10.00 per person. There is also a Cash Bar available. The RIRA business meeting starts at 7:00PM, and generally lasts until around 9:00PM.

The agenda is still being worked on, but is expected to include information regarding our legislative agenda and organizational priorities, the reorganizations of the Republican city and town committees throughout the state, potential RIRA endorsements relative to the March RIGOP elections, and the April RIRA Annual Convention.

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 Raymond McKay at 401-487-2514 or president [at] ri-ra [dot] org.
