Subject: March to Victory
Dear Friends:
March to Victory is a Platte County Republican Party event held during election years after the close of candidate filings for local and statewide offices. This year’s event is on Thursday, April 3, 2008 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at O'Dowd's Little Dublin Irish Pub in Zona Rosa, 8600 N.W. Prairie View Road, Kansas City, MO 64153. March to Victory is an opportunity to meet Republican candidates, have some fun, and raise some money to support the Platte County GOP Headquarters operations during the general election.
It seems like the Presidential campaigns have been going on forever, but locally, the campaign season is just getting started. The Platte County Republican Caucus is on March 15th at 10 a.m. in the Platte County Administration building in Platte City. We’ll elect 34 delegates and 34 alternates to the 6th Congressional District convention (April 19 at the Cameron High School) and the Missouri State Convention (May 31st at Branson). Delegates and Alternates will be elected to the Republican National Convention at the 6th District and State Conventions. Please plan to attend the Platte County Republican Caucus on March 15th to vote for Delegates and Alternates whether or not you wish to be one; we need your votes. If you are interested in being a delegate let me know.
We achieved a lot success locally in 2006 by re-electing Presiding Commissioner Betty Knight, County Collector Donna Nash, and County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd, State Senator Charlie Shields and State Representative Jason Brown and electing Gloria Boyer as County Recorder of Deeds. The successes we have achieved have been the result of two things. First, we have had great people willing to be candidates. These candidates have worked very hard to win their elections. Second, we have had great people like you who have supported the efforts of the Platte County Republican Party and these great candidates with your time, talent and treasurer.
Come join Republican candidates and hear them speak about their “March to Victory: To the August Primary and on to November.”
I hope to see you March 15th at the County Caucus and on April 3rd for the March to Victory event.
Sincerely,
Jim Rooney, Chairman
