2008 Early Voting Bastrop County Texas

Enthusiasm for Republican Candidates in Bastrop texas
October 11, 2008
Bastrop County Republicans did great at Bastrop Market Days today. We raised some much needed funds and LOTS of McCain-Palin signs were given out. It was amazing to see people swarm to our booth to get signs. Sometimes they were being snatch up as soon as we could put them together.
Many signs for local candidates were distributed as well. Even more bumper stickers and information cards were picked up.
Thanks to everyone who helpd make this event a success and that helped us “get the word out.”
It was an encouraging day. If you watch the Media you would get the impression we don’t stand a chance, but it was really great seeing the support we have in the community, for the Presidential Race and on down the line to our local candidates.
I have heard Sean Hannity from FOX News is having a very special report on Obama on Hannity’s America this next Sunday night (10/12). The information below was emailed to me from a friend.
Please watch if you can:
“Sean Hannity of Hannity & Colmes ~ Fox News, is going to air a very important documentary about Barack Obama, Sunday Night (10/12) at 9:00 PM (6:00 PM PST). He stated on the air this evening that no one in the news media was willing to do this. Hannity is going back to Obama’s earlier days, showing even then his ties to radical professors, friends, spiritual advisers, etc. Hannity stated this evening that he will show in detail Obama’s ties to Reverend Wright for 20+ years (which we all know); how he was participating with this man, and not for the reasons he states! He has uncovered more of Obama’s radical leaders and we will see things that no one in the media is willing to put out there. This will be a night that you will learn more about Obama than ever before. Hannity is very passionate about this program and asked that everyone please watch
~~ Sunday night 9:00 PM (6:00 PM PST).
Thank you again to everyone. We gave out a lot of signs today, so if you can donate to help the party replenish our stock of signs or donate to a candidate to help defray some of their costs I know it would be greatly appreciated!

New Bastrop Republican Office Opens
August 22, 2008
On Monday, August 25, 2008, the new office of the Bastrop County Republican Party will open to the public. This completes a month-long project which involved negotiating a favorable lease, negotiating an expense-share agreement, remodeling the new space, and moving in. The recent rains set us back a week. This last Tuesday, we were ready to open, but the rains exposed some leaks that damaged some of our remodeling. The landlord responded promptly, fixed the original problem, and finished repairing the interior damage today.
The office is located at 1109 Main St., Suite A in Bastrop, across the street from the Post Office. Locals know the building as the old lumberyard. Our mailing address will continue to be PO Box 375, Bastrop, TX 78602. Our phone number remains 303-1844.
Our hours will be from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, or as long as the Chairman is on location. As volunteers line up to man the office, extended and weekend hours may also become available.
This is what we still need: donations to cover the remodelling expenses, volunteers to man the office, an internet-ready computer for office work, and visitors to come pick up campaign materials. If you can help out in one of these ways, please let me know by e-mailing bastropgop(at)austin.rr.com .
