Our message; Republicans come from every demographic of American society and each person brings to the party their own life experiences
which makes the party that much more diverse as it grows. That is something the Republican Party never gets credit for and is even portrayed often times as just the opposite. In
the state of North Carolina, more women are registered Republican than men and many of the county executive committees are
made up of or are headed by women. One of our two Senators is Representative Elizabeth Dole, who was also the first female Secretary of Transportation under
Ronald Reagan. Dr. Condoleezza Rice, is the first African-American female Secretary of State in American history and proudly
speaks of her commitment to the Republican Party saying, "I joined for different reasons. I found a party that sees me as
just an individual, not as part of a group. I found a party that puts family first. I found a party that has love of liberty
at its core. And I found a party that believes that peace begins with strength." That statement best exemplifies what it is that connects all of us who are registered Republicans and those who will soon
become one. Even though we all may come from different backgrounds... every one of us believes in the power, justification,
and pursuit of liberty. That call to liberty exploded in America during the Reagan years and has steadily increased across the country in what
we see as a modern day American Revolution. Though Richmond County is but a minor part of the American electorate, it is none-the-less
a microcosm of the revolution where even Republicans can finally openly admit to being Republican without being ostracized
or fear reproach. Today, there are about 6000 registered Republicans in Richmond County and that number is a dramatic increase over the last
several years. We're confident it's on the verge of another major increase, and look forward to doing what we can to help
promote that progress and solidify its effect on our society. We are also committed to reaching across the political divide and encouraging as many of our county residents as we can
to consider changing their party affiliation. Many of these conflicted souls haven't yet mustered the courage to change parties
before now for different reasons, even though they know the Republican Party is the party that best represents the core values
we all share. But time is eroding their reluctance and with the help of an active, visible, vocal county party they will be that much
more willing to shed that cautiousness. Being an inclusive party, we pledge to make that transition as smooth as possible for them and we will openly accept those
individuals as willing participants in our political agenda. That's what liberty is all about. And that's what being a Republican
is all about! We also invite every Republican in the county to help us make this goal that much more achievable by participating in this
experience with us whenever it is possible physically, emotionally, and financially. The Richmond County Republican Party is moving into the future. The visions of that future for our families and our children's
families will be shaped politically by what we accomplish today. Be a part of it and help us make it a reality! Chairman: 1st Vice-Chairman: Jane Moss 2nd Vice-Chairman: Secretary: Treasurer: Keith McLester
