At its January 9, 2012 meeting the committee voted to extend its congratulations to the new state chairman and to indicate it is looking forward to working with him during the critical 2012 election campaigns.

The committee also extended an invitation to the chairman to come to Chatham to celebrate with the town its Lincoln Day observance on Sunday, February 12th. The event will be held at the Chatham VFW from 3 to 5. Details will be announced shortly.

Chairman Walter Bilowz said, "This is an important year for Chatham since it is celebrating its 300th birthday as a town. It's also an important year for the nation since new leadership is desperately needed in Washington. It is therefore fitting that the committee honor our first Republican president, who was serving when Chatham celebrated its 150th birthday. Abraham Lincoln had the courage, comitment, strength and determination to save this nation at a time of its greatest peril. Once again, it falls to a Republican to rescue the country from forces seeking to destroy it. We can do no better than to turn to Lincoln as an example of towering leadership."

The 2012 election is the best chance for the people to take back the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution and progressively stolen away by Big Government over the decades. The public has finally awakened to the threat and is roused and ready to fight for liberty.

Obama’s declining presidency has become synonymous with the image of big government, from spiralling budget deficits and out of control federal spending to massive taxpayer funded bailouts and increasing regulations on businesses and healthcare. Even 28 per cent of Democrats agree with the 61 per cent of Republicans (and 57 per cent of independents) who now view the federal government as “a threat” to the rights and freedoms of the American people. It is little wonder that a mere 11 per cent of US voters now describe themselves as liberal on fiscal issues in Rasmussen polling, compared to 44 per cent who call themselves conservative and 40 per cent who describe themselves as moderate.

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.

And here is the schedule for upcoming Republican presidential candidate debates. The next one is on Fox News this coming Thursday, the 22nd of September at 9 p.m.

Do check our Facebook page regularly. Go to Google and search for Facebook. Once on Facebook, search for Chatham Republicans. The two-step is required until we get enough traffic that Google will retrieve our link at the top of the lists.

Join us at the Community Center at 7 o'clock on Monday, June 13.

Our last meeting on May 10th was very productive. Several new folks joined us. We are hoping many more will join us June 13th as we continue our planning for the 2012 elections.

We have to constitute a new Republican town commitee by August 1. We plan to enlarge the committee from its present 15 to 35, the most allowed by Massachusetts law and we welcome new recruits. We will circulate an agenda well in advance of the meeting.

We want the best possible turnout in 2012 for the Republican presidential candidate. Crucial is the re-election of our U.S. Senator Scott Brown, who will be under heavy attack by the Massachusetts Democratic machine and its public union allies. We also will field Republican candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives, the state Senate and State Representative.

We will have a great chance in 2012 to elect our candidates for statewide office. It was only the public union employee turn out that Boston Mayor Menino orchestrated that deprived us of victory in 2010. Winning all the cities and towns except the union-controlled big cities isn't enough if we can't achieve better numbers in those public union strongholds.

Our Republican headquarters last fall was a great success serving not only Chatham, but Harwich and Brewster. All our top statewide Republican candidates carried Chatham.

We'll be working with other Lower Cape towns again for the 2012 election, the most important election for the future of a sane America.

Our next big event will be the 4th of July parade.
