National Federation of Republican Women Decries Passage of Health Care Bill

bcrw — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 03:59:25 +0000

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Following the passage of the Democrat health care bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, National Federation of Republican Women President Sue Lynch said:

“The National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) is disappointed in the Democrats’ decision to disregard the will of the American people to advance a strictly partisan plan that fails to fix the real problems in our health care system. What arrogance.

“As House Minority Leader John Boehner said last night in a very passionate speech, ‘This is the people’s House. The moment the majority forgets it, they start writing themselves a ticket to minority status.’

“The NFRW is issuing a ‘call to action’ to our more than 1,500 clubs, asking each to watch closely those representatives in their districts who voted to support this bill. They need to be held accountable for putting America in jeopardy.

“In contrast, we applaud House Republicans, who, despite intense pressure from their Democrat colleagues, stood firm and united in their efforts to defeat this bill.”

Founded in 1938, the NFRW has thousands of active members in local clubs across the nation and in several U.S. territories, making it one of the largest women’s political organizations in the country. The grassroots organization recruits and elects Republican candidates, advocates the Party’s philosophy and initiatives, and empowers women in the political process.

bcrw — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 01:36:04 +0000

BCRW President Marilyn Etzel said “Our organization exists to support our local Republican candidates and we felt that it was very important for all our members and the public to attend the Candidate Forum that was scheduled at the same time.

New Bastrop County Republican Office Open

bcrw — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 02:59:50 +0000

The Bastrop County Republican Party has a new office located at 1109 Main St., Suite A, in Bastrop, which is located almost directly across Main Street from the Post Office. The Bastrop Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribbon cutting at the new office on September 23, 2008, at 10:00 a.m. The public is welcome to attend and see the new office. Although the party’s office has moved, its phone number will remain 303-1844.

Part of the function of the office is to serve as a distribution center for campaign materials. Since Senator John McCain chose Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate, there has been exponential growth of local interest in his campaign. Because McCain campaign dollars will be spent mostly in battleground states, it falls to the County party organizations in Texas to finance the cost of obtaining McCain-Palin signs and bumper stickers. Recognizing the need for McCain-Palin signs and the increased interest of the public in having them, the members of the Executive Committee of the Bastrop County Republican Party raised over $1,000.00 to purchase signs on September 6. Based on my conversations with others, I believe candidates and party leaders from both major parties agree that raising money for politics in Bastrop County can be difficult. I view this generous response as a measure of the renewed enthusiasm of some of our local citizens for the McCain-Palin ticket. The first signs and bumper stickers are now available at the new Republican office on a first-come, first-served basis.
