Rhode Island Republican Assembly | March Meeting

Posted on March 10, 2010 by Raymond McKay

Rhode Island’s largest conservative organization (and sponsor of this blog), the RHODE ISLAND REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY, will hold its next general meeting on Thursday, March 11th, 2010.

The 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, a pasta buffet dinner is available between 6:00pm and 7:00pm. The cost for dinner is $7.50 per person. It is “all you can eat” and generally includes pasta, meatballs, soup, salad, and dessert. There is also a Cash Bar available. The RIRA business meeting starts promptly at 7:00PM, and generally lasts until around 9:00PM.

The guest speakers for the meeting will be John Robitaille, GOP candidate for RI Governor, and Terry Gorman, founder of Rhode Islanders for Immigration Law Enforcement (RIILE). In addition, several candidates for General Assembly will be speaking with us, including Doreen Costa, who is running in House District 31.

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 Ray McKay at president [at] ri-ra [dot] org or NFRA Northeast Region Vice President Will Ricci at NEVP [at] ri-ra [dot] org or visit the RIRA web site at http://www.ri-ra.org.

RI Tea Party Open Meeting w/ Steve Laffey | January 27

Posted on January 26, 2010 by Rhode Island Red

A message from the Rhode Island Tea Party:

Just back from a national non-partisan conference for fiscally conservative grassroots organizers, RI Tea Party members are ready to roll out the most effective strategies to reclaim our state and our country by aiming to elect officials who will defend and protect our constitutionally granted individual rights. If you are like 80% of Americans, who are for smaller government that serves the people, instead of big government which the people must serve, then you are one of us!

How are we going to get this done in a state dominated by a progressive union- backed state legislature and federal delegation that refuses to listen to the will of the people? Come hear about our strategy at the next RI Tea Party Meeting, this Wednesday, January 27th, at which we will roll out “The Rhode Island Model” to take back our state and our country! Agenda as follows:

6:00PM: Doors open for Reception (Cash Bar and light snacks)
6:45PM: Meeting Commences: Unveiling “The Rhode Island Model” : Colleen Conley
7:00PM: Keynote Speaker: Steve Laffey (former Mayor of Cranston)
7:20PM: Transparency and Accountability: Bill Felkner (OSPRI)
7:35PM: Candidate Recruitment and Volunteer Training:
Mark Zaccaria (Candidate for 2nd Congressional District) and
Sandra Thompson (Operation Clean Government)
7:50PM: Break-out Sessions
8:30PM: Recap and Adjourn

This is a CAN’T MISS MEETING FOR ANYONE WHO CARES ABOUT THE DIRECTION OF OUR STATE AND OUR COUNTRY!

Remember, without YOU, the Tea Party would not exist. We have made great strides in the past year thanks to YOUR efforts! Without your continued active participation and dedication to taking our state and our country back, nothing will change. Together, we will make History!

*Please note that the RI Tea Party does not endorse candidates, but simply provides information to our members so that you can get involved in active citizen governance.

NFRA Spring Board Meeting in California | March 5-7

Posted on January 12, 2010 by The Ocean State Republican

An important message from NFRA President Rod Martin:

I trust you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s.

I’m sure most of you have already registered for the NFRA Spring Board Meeting and California Republican Assembly 75th Anniversary Celebration. As we announced in Reno, we will be celebrating three-quarters of a century of the Republican Assembly movement this March 5-7, 2010. It is a tremendous milestone, and like nothing we’ve ever done before.

REGISTER NOW: http://californiarepublicanassembly.com/

As always, Board Meeting attendance is mandatory without an excused absence — several people lost their office last fall for this reason, and we hope that never happens again. But more to the point, you won’t want to miss this anyway. In addition to our NFRA Board Meeting — at 4:00 PM on Friday, March 5th — the CRA will be putting on an incredible show, including many events your state can learn from, all at the legendary Knott’s Berry Farm, one of the world’s most famous theme parks and home to eleven roller coasters!

This will be a great time for the whole family, and a tremendous educational opportunity for your leadership team, with top conservative speakers, the CRA Endorsing Convention for Governor, U.S. Senate and all statewide races, a Conservative Youth Celebration with DJ and dancing, all drenched in 75 years of the history of our great movement. You will NOT want to miss it.

Board Meeting aside, we are full-steam ahead here at Republican Assemblies Central, and delighted every day by the news coming in from all parts of the nation: Democrats are losing to Republicans, RINOs are losing to Reagan conservatives, and America is repudiating socialism and embracing the values of the American Revolution.

But you and I know that in politics, nothing moves unless it’s pushed. November — and the primaries between now and then — will only be a success if activists like us make it so.

America is counting on us. And I’m counting on you. Register today for the NFRA Board Meeting and 75th Anniversary Celebration. Let’s celebrate our heroes, and then let’s carry their values to victory.

For the cause,

Rod D. Martin, President
National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA)
“The Republican Wing of the Republican Party”
