Total votes cast were remarkably low, about 487, with approximately 6% of eligible voters casting ballots. Although Tom did not win this time around, he did well considering the dynamics of the particular district. Simply put, it is not “Republican friendly” turf. On the bright side, Tom did win in the East Providence portion of the district! Tom has already indicated he will run again in the Fall of 2010. The campaign begins next week!

He will be doing more lit dropping over the next few weekends leading up to the special election taking place on December 29th.

After Tom spoke with us at our meeting this past Thursday night, and answered a number of questions which were posed by the membership, the Rhode Island Republican Assembly voted to endorse his candidacy for General Assembly in the upcoming special election. In addition, the Rhode Island Republican Assembly PAC voted on Sunday afternoon to support his candidacy.

As a RIRA supporter, we hope that you will make an extra effort to help Tom out and show your support. He only has a little over 6 weeks to go until the special election is held on December 29th. The district covers parts of East Providence and Pawtucket. This is a winnable race.

We encourage you to show your support by writing a check and/or by showing up at the event. Tickets are only $20 per person (although you can certainly give more). Checks can be made payable to: “Clupny, Representative District 62″. Passed catered Hors d’oeuvres will be served. You can just show up, but if you can also just send an RSVP e-mail to Joe Giammarco at ltuta1 [at] aol [dot] com — it will help them plan a little better. We hope to see you on Thursday! Thank you.

P.S. The Knights of Columbus Hall which this fundraiser will be held at on Thursday is not the same one that East Providence GOP events are normally held at. This K of C Hall is at 3200 Pawtucket Avenue, in the vicinity of Silver Spring Golf Course and St. Mary’s-Bay View Academy.

Clearly not the result we hoped for. Moe ran a great campaign in a challenging district

We are looking for volunteers to help our GOP candidate win the special election in Providence’s House District 10 next Tuesday (November 10).

* On SATURDAY morning NOVEMBER 7, volunteers will do the 3rd and final District-wide lit drop, and deliver flyers to all 5,000 households in the District. We need volunteers to pass out these flyers to a couple of hundred houses that would be assigned to you.

Volunteers will gather at 10:00 A.M. at OASIS GRILL, located at 220 BROAD ST. in Providence. This is directly across the street from Classical High School’s athletic field. It is a block away from Travelers Aid – formerly the YMCA. Anyone coming by freeway would probably take the Broadway exit to Rt. 95 (or the Atwells Ave. exit), and look for the Travelers Aid tower as a landmark.

We expect to have enough volunteers, to have the entire District done by noon. Of course, we will have coffee & snacks in the Grill for the volunteers.

Anyone who needs to reach Dave Talan (Moe’s Campaign Manager) on Saturday should call his phone, 401-862-7519 (cell) 401-941-3662 (home) E-mail is davetalan [at] aol [dot] com

We are still putting together plans for election day on Tuesday. We know we will need people to be in front of the 4 key polling places, holding up Moe’s signs. And there will be last-minute reminder phone calls to favorable voters.

We are hoping to have a motorcade throughout the District on Sunday afternoon. We are looking for someone with a sound system; someone with a truck to put Moe’s signs on; and someone with a convertible that Moe can ride in.

On Saturday, once we get everybody out on the lit drop (probably around noon), Moe needs to ring doorbells in some key areas we have not covered yet. We need some “bird-dogs” to ring doorbells ahead of us, to have people ready for Moe, and to leave pre-signed flyers at houses where nobody is home.

With election momentum building for the Republican Party and the conservative movement more inflamed than ever with the power of the Tea Party’s and a massive growth in College Republican involvement 2010 will mark a massive comeback predicated. Republicans nationally and here in Rhode Island, retaining our core beliefs in small government, civil rights and a moral society, will attract voters who can no longer suffer the fiscal insanity or moral depravity advocated by the Democrats in Washington and in Providence. The CRFRI and I extend special recognition to the College Republicans of New Jersey, Virginia and those from all states who participated in the College Republican National Committee’s deployment efforts. These efforts, particularly in New Jersey, certainly contributed substantially to Republican victory and inspire College Republicans everywhere to prepare for a massive political effort in 2010. Rhode Island will be no exception as we orchestrate an unprecedented youth volunteer effort to achieve victories throughout the northeast. I congratulate the Republican candidates, all who were involved in their campaigns and all who share our values on these historic victories.

Regards,
Jon Conradi
Chairman, College Republican Federation of Rhode Island
