Providence Newspaper Guild Follies | February 24

Posted on February 4, 2012 by The Ocean State Republican

For quite a few years now, the Rhode Island Republican Assembly has had reserved tables for Republicans at the annual Providence Newspaper Guild Follies. Assuming that The Providence Journal doesn’t shutter its doors and fire everyone by February 24th, this year will be no exception!

Because this great event has long-since outgrown Rhode Island’s ability to contain it, and sales tax is still cheaper in Massachusetts, the Follies will be held on Friday, February 24th at 7:00 PM just over the border at the Venus de Milo Restaurant , 75 Grand Army Highway (Route 6) in Swansea, MA.

This popular dinner and political satire show is attended by every politician, activist, and news media personality in Rhode Island’s political scene, for a total of about 1,250 people. Tickets are $65.00/person. A spectacular buffet dinner is included, and of course, the big show. RIRA has reserved two tables (20 seats), with the option of reserving more if there is additional demand.

Note: Since this is a union-held event, the audience does tend to skew somewhat Democratic / Leftist / Commie, so be forewarned! If you are a Republican and want to sit with us (for your own safety), please contact RIRA President Raymond McKay right away at president [at] ri-ra [dot] org or 401-487-2514. These tickets are definitely going fast, so do not wait, as this event always sells out.

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Will Ricci

The East Providence Republican City Committee will be hosting a multi-city GOP Presidential Candidate Signature Party and “Florida Primary” Straw Poll this Tuesday, January 31st, 2012. The event will be held at the Santa Maria Cultural Center (Holy Ghost Brotherhood Mariense), at 846 Broadway, in East Providence from 7:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. This location is easily accessed via Exit 6 (Broadway) off of Route 195.

Registered voters from EAST PROVIDENCE, PROVIDENCE, PAWTUCKET, or BARRINGTON are invited to stop by this FREE event to sign the nomination papers for all of the GOP candidates for President (Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, etc.). To get on the ballot in RI for the April 24th primary, each candidate must obtain at least 1,000 valid signatures by the February 2nd deadline. Please note that you are not required to be a registered Republican to sign the candidates’ nomination papers, just a currently registered voter.

Those attending may also “vote” for their favorite GOP presidential candidate in our Florida Primary Straw Poll ($1 per vote), as well as watch the results of the Florida Primary as they come in. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the GOP candidates, local campaigns, and our city committee. Speakers include new R.I. Republican Party Chair MARK ZACCARIA and U.S. Senate candidate BARRY HINCKLEY. There will be a Cash Bar, as well as complimentary snacks and desserts available.

This event is free and open to the public.

This is a friendly reminder that there will be meeting of the Rhode Island Republican State Central Committee this Thursday, January 5th, 2012. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7:00PM. Please arrive earlier for check-in.

The meeting will once again be held at the Rhode Island Shriners’ building, at One Rhodes Place (at the intersection with Broad Street), in historic Pawtuxet Village, Cranston, RI 02905. This is the same location which has been used for the last few meetings. There is a cash bar and food available in the adjoining room.

Only current RIGOP Delegates or their Designated Alternates may vote on any contested matter, although any Republican is welcome to attend RIGOP meetings. If you are not a member of the RI Republican State Central Committee, you are not expected or required to attend.

Any inquiries about the RIGOP meeting can be directed to the RIGOP office at (401) 732-8282.

Inquiries specific to RIRA may still be directed to RIRA President Ray McKay at (401) 487-2514 or president [at] ri-ra [dot] org. Thank you.

RI Redistricting Committee Meeting | Thursday

Posted on December 15, 2011 by Rhode Island Red

David Cicilline’s staff is actively engaged in changing the Congressional District maps to favor him for the 2012 election. According to Channel 12, “Common Cause Rhode Island, and the campaigns of Republicans Doherty and John Loughlin, have seized on the fact the map would move roughly 125,000 people between Cicilline’s and Langevin’s districts when the latest Census required that only about 7,200 be moved.”

No matter which candidate you are supporting for Congressional District 1, the Redistricting Committee appears to be close to recommending “Map E,” that will hurt any Republican challenger to David Cicilline. With this in mind you are urged to attend the next Redistricting Committee meeting which will be held on Thursday night at 6:00pm at the Rhode Island State House in Room 313 to voice your opposition to this proposal. You are also urged to address the Committee and ask that they not recommend a map that will assist David Cicilline with reelection in 2012.

Please come and show your support.
