Barrington School Committee Special Election | Tuesday

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

John Robitaille: Together We Can

Friends,

When I announced my intention to run for Governor almost a year ago now, I knew that my campaign would be an uphill battle against ‘the forces that be’ in Rhode Island politics. For almost a year now you have helped me amass a successful campaign and have put me in contention to be your next Governor. I am humbled and grateful for all of the help and support that you have all offered me. I am writing you one more time to ask for your help.

Tomorrow, November 2nd, is a critical day for all Rhode Islanders. The candidates that you elect to office will be responsible for shaping the policy that will drive this state for years to come. My message has been clear: Career politicians created this mess and they can’t fix it, but together WE can.

I am a native Rhode Islander. I was born in Central Falls, attended Providence College and served in the US Army. I have been a small business owner for over twenty years and I know the difficulties that come with running a business in Rhode Island. I have made a promise to you that I will work day and night to bring Rhode Island back to prosperity. We must lower taxes, reduce the size of government and stream-line permitting and regulations to create jobs.

While my opponents have spent millions of dollars attacking each other, I have run a positive campaign to get my message out to all of you. In times like these we must focus on the issues at hand, not the habitual mudslinging that has crippled this state for years. I am the only candidate in this race that has signed a pledge to veto any tax increase that comes across my desk. In times like these, the last thing we need is to place a heavier burden on the citizens of this great state.

Together we have overcome tremendous obstacles to bring common sense back to Rhdoe Island. I am in a virtual three-way tie and need your help in these final hours to pull me across the finish line. I urge you to tell your friends, family and neighbors to vote tomorrow. In a race this close, every vote will count. My name is John Robitaille, I am running for Governor of Rhode Island, and I would be honored to have your vote tomorrow, November 2nd.

Sincerely,

John Robitaille

Statement from Mayor Fung on Misleading Chafee Mailer

FUNG STATEMENT ON LINCOLN GROUP POLITICAL MAILER

Mayor Allan Fung today expressed his extreme disappointment with the misleading political mailer distributed by the Lincoln Group to Cranston residents. This mailer caused some residents to believe that Mayor Fung had implicitly endorsed Lincoln Chafee for Governor.

“I endorsed Republican John Robitaille several weeks ago and he has my continued support,” stated Fung. “I strongly feel that he’s the best candidate to lead our state through these difficult fiscal times. It is unfortunate that the Lincoln Group feels a need to resort to misrepresentations for political gain.”

“I’ll be joining John tomorrow at 3:30pm at Taco Manufacturing in Cranston as a show of my support for his candidacy for Governor.”

RI Governors Race a Virtual Tie

Friends,

With only a week left until the election we need your help more than ever. I am in a virtual three-way tie against my opponents and I need the help of our volunteer base to pull me across the finish line. As our opponents continue to make personal attacks against each other and national political figures, I am sticking to my message of cutting taxes, reducing spending and creating jobs. Rhode Island doesn’t need gimmicks or promises from career politicians, what we need are results.

I promise you that I will continue to fight the good fight and show Rhode Islanders that I am the only candidate who can turn Rhode Island around. I am NOT running for Governor for the recognition or to fulfill a legacy. Rhode Island needs strong leadership more than ever and I have proven time and time again that I can handle the responsibilities that come with the position.

When elected I will be your lobbyist. I do not owe any favors to special interest groups or career politicians. Rhode Island continues to decline because of the policies enacted by my opponents. They have been part of the system for years and their decisions continue to hurt Rhode Island.

With your help we will win next week. Make sure to get out and vote on November 2nd. Tell your friends, neighbors and coworkers that every vote will count in this election. If you are interested in helping please call the campaign office and ask for Brian. Any amount of time you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Onward to Victory,

John Robitaille
