The Blog of the Rhode Island Republican Assembly
Great turnout for at the rally the Rhode Island State House today! 400 to 500 hardworking American citizens taking a stand against the pro-illegal alien policies of Gov. Linc Chafee and his enablers in the General Assembly. Photo credit: Lyn Jennings.
Want to show Governor Chafee that you’re mad as heck and won’t take it anymore? Here’s your chance!
There will be a rally at the Rhode Island State House, on Wednesday, October 5th, starting at 5:00 PM, concerning the Chafee administration’s position on rewarding illegal immigration. Gov. Chafee has usurped his role as our state’s leader by positioning certain people to do his bidding, instead of doing the will of the people of Rhode Island, as recently witnessed at a Board of Governors meeting, which granted illegal aliens in-state tuition.
Although this rally will mainly concern Chafee’s stance on illegal immigration, please feel free to invite anyone who is upset with Governor Chafee for any reason (we know there are plenty of reasons!). Feel free to bring signs. John Depetro will be the emcee; Helen Glover will be there, too, as well as Terry Gorman from RIILE, plus some General Assembly members, such as event organizer Rep. Doreen Costa and Senators Maher and Cote. The new Ocean State Tea Party In Action, and a few other good government groups will also be participating. It should be fun!
The Rhode Island Republican State Central Committee will hold the meeting which was supposed to occur in August, but was canceled due to Hurricane Irene, on Monday, October 17th, 2011. The following is the official meeting notice from the RIGOP:

After discussion with some proponents of the amendment the following framework for discussion and vote appeared fair:
OCTOBER MEETING
Step 1. The Amendment will be read aloud during the October meeting.
Step 2. Thereafter, we will ask any voting member who would like to be comment on the issue, to make their comments with consideration for everyone’s time.
NOVEMBER MEETING
