Today is CONSTITUTION DAY. Take the Constitution out and read our foundational document. Online, you can find it here and here.

While we are celebrating the Constitution, let's remember the great celebration we had this past 4th of July, Independence Day. Chatham Republicans with friends from Harwich, Brewster, Orleans and Barnstable marched in the annual Chatham parade before a crowd of about 40,000. What was particularly exciting was the enormously positive response we received all along the parade route. Click here to see our picture show of the parade.

We can also celebrate the great victories in Nevada and New York for our Republican candidates for Congress. Nevada's was expected, but the margin was huge. A Republican will be serving in this New York disctrict for the first time since 1920. Family values and Obama's anti-Israel policies made the difference in this heavily Jewish neighborhood.

It is shocking and dismaying to keep reading about Obama administration scandals that stain the White House and the nation. The Gunrunner/Fast and Furious funneling of automatic weapons to Mexican drug gangs has resulted in the death of Americans as well as Mexicans.

Now we learn about the political payoffs to Obama fundraisers behind the now bankrupt Solyndra solar panel company that may well cost taxpayers half a billion dollars. Not only was the loan guarantee pushed by the White House after the Department of Energy had rejected the credit, but the agreement gave the fundraisers/investors in Solyndra a $75 million preference to the U.S. loan in the event of bankruptcy. Shocking and contrary to law.

Incompetence, corruption, ideological blindness, the list goes on. We must restore honor and dignity, fiscal sanity and competence to this country in November, 2012.

Some important dates ahead:

Saturday, Sep 24 – 3 to 5, Lower Cape Republican Council meets at Bishop’s Terrace, Route 28, West Harwich, featuring Senator Scott Brown. He will autograph (and sell) books (or bring your own copy). The senator will speak and pose for pictures, which can be bought. Tickets - $35 for expenses and to benefit local town committees. For information: Diane Bronsdon f.bronsdon@comcast.net and 508 945 9218. There are already nine, maybe ten, Democrats lined up to challenge Scott in the 2012 election. We have to support him and let him know we want him to stand up strong for fiscal sanity and discipline in Washington.

Wednesday, Sep 28 – Film showing, 7 p.m., Chatham Community Center, “Agenda – Grinding America Down,” presented by the Liberty Forum.
