Benton County AFP Chair: A message from Linda

Hello All,
Remember to always have your petitions available wherever you are, at whatever function you attend. We still need many signatures. Please walk your neighborhoods, and precincts gathering as many as you can. As always urging the signers to do so carefully, so their signatures will not be thrown out. Remember to get your petitions to me, no later than Monday, by noon, as I need to turn them in by Monday afternoon. Remember any questions you might have, call me at 740-1736, or 754-0203.

Upcoming schedule of important events:

Tuesday morning, August 18th, we will be meeting no later than 7:30 at the Republican Headquarters (1760 SW 3rd, by Curves) parking lot, and leaving no later than 7:45, preferably before that. We will go to the Defazio Town Hall meeting in Junction City from 9:00-10:00. My guess is they will possibly be sending in liberals from Corvallis, and Eugene to keep us from getting a seat and asking questions. We need everyone to come out. Make sure your cell phones are charged and ready to take pictures, or if you have a small camcorder, that would be great as well. We can bring our petitions and hopefully will be able to get some signatures.

Tuesday evening, August 18th AFP will have our first local Town Hall meeting. It will be held at the Salbasgeon Suites, 1730 NW 9th St, in the McKenzie Room. It will begin at 6:30. We will be privileged to have with us, Jeff Kropf, State Director of Americans For Prosperity. Please encourage your family, friends, neighbors, and strangers to all come out for that. We must SUPPORT our local efforts. Let's get our first Town Hall off to a great start, and make this a standing room only event.

Thursday August 20th, Americans For Prosperity, have been invited to attend the Republican barbecue at the Philomath Frolic Rodeo grounds, in Philomath. It will feature Sandy's fabulous barbecued tri-tip steak, and chicken. Adults $15.00, children, under 12, $7.50, and Children under 3 are free. Everyone is invited. There will be special activities for the children, and a great time will be had by all.

August 25th will be our 4th Tuesday of the month AFP meeting, beginning at 6:15, at King Tin Restaurant. 1857 NW 9th Street.

Sept. 17th, is Constitution Day. We will be having a Constitution Day Tea Party in front of the Courthouse, from 4:00-6:00 pm. Be making your signs, bring your flags, and start telling your family, friends, neighbors and strangers about this important event. We will have a few extra signs and flags. Let's make this an even bigger one than our Tax Day Tea Party.

You HAVE made a difference. I realize there are lots of activities and events scheduled. I am asking you to mark these dates on your calendar, to make an extra effort to be there. We cannot take a day off. These people, who are purposefully and methodically dismantling the America that we know and love, are not going away. They will persevere, until they accomplish what they have set out to do, unless WE stop them. They have a bigger foothold than any of us ever imagined, and we must be ever vigilant and involved, to fight fiercely, for our freedom.

Thank you all for all you do. YOU have made a difference.

Linda Weimer
