Ed Martin for MO Attorney General
2012-06-30 23:30 - 2012-07-01 02:00
Please accept our Invitation to meet, Ed Martin, in our home, June 30th, 2012, between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. to affirm what others know about Ed. I promise you this, once you meet Ed you will not forget him. Why? Because you will immediately recognize Ed’s passion for service, sincerity, and personal enthusiasm as you visit with him.
Bring YOUR questions for Ed. Hear straight forward answers, not diversions, as you experience Ed’s like-minded views. Please come for an evening to ask questions, to be informed, and share common ideas with those wanting to be a part of today’s solutions in the tough, unpredictable times we are experiencing together.
Never has there been a more defining election than this 2012 election! We will not merely be electing candidates for public service, but candidates who will chart our country’s future, determining how we will be defined. Will we as citizens rally enough people to vote and continue down the path of Freedom, individual Rights, standing on our Constitution, or will people vote for the course to accept Socialism, Liberalism, and Communism blindly believing in distributing the wealth??? We must stand in the gap to preserve the freedom and individualism our Forefathers framed in the Constitution!!! A sobering question, but one which WILL be answered this November.
Please be a part of what makes America unique and great. Join us on June 30th , 2012 between 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM at 6130 N. Mattox, Kansas City MO 64151. Be a part of the solution, keep America that, “shinning city on a hill ” for our children, our grandchildren, and the America we all love.!

That’s why Americans for Prosperity will be hosting a Hands Off My Health Care rally for free-market grassroots activists from across Missouri.
11 AM – doors open (box lunch available for the first 150 RSVP’s)
11:30 AM – local speakers Sen Scott Rupp, Lt Gov Peter Kinder

Missouri Republican County Caucus
2012-03-17 15:00 - 19:00
2012 Missouri GOP Platform Draft
*The County Caucuses will take place on March 17, 2012. One caucus will be held in each of Missouri’s 114 counties and the city of St. Louis at 10 a.m. At these caucuses, which are open to any Republican who is registered to vote in that county, attendees will select delegates and alternates to the Congressional District Conventions and State Convention. No delegates to the national convention are selected at this time. The number of delegates and alternates per county is determined by the Missouri Republican Party based upon the number of GOP votes cast in the last presidential election.
* The Congressional District Conventions will take place on April 21, 2012. At each of these 8 conventions, delegates chosen at the county level will select 3 delegates and alternates to the National Convention and 1 presidential elector. The delegates and alternates will be required to declare allegiance to a candidate prior to the voting, and they will be bound to that candidate on the first ballot—unless they are released prior to the convention.
*The State Convention will take place on June 2, 2012. At the convention, delegates chosen at the county level will vote on 25 at-large delegates and alternates to the National Convention and 2 at large presidential electors. The delegates and alternates will be required to declare allegiance to a candidate prior to the voting, and they will be bound to that candidate on the first ballot—unless they are released prior to the convention.
In total, Missouri will have 52 delegates and 49 alternates to the Republican National Convention—24 selected at the congressional district caucuses, 25 selected at the state convention, and 1 delegate (but no alternate) for the state Party chairman, national committeeman and national committeewoman.

Todd Aiken coming to 3rd Friday party
2012-03-17 00:00 - 03:00
Congressman Todd Aiken, candidate for Missouri’s US Senator will be at the 3rd Friday Patriots gathering.

Dear Fellow Patriots,
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been so wrapped up in the Presidential race, that I’ve somewhat ignored the people running against Claire for Senate (that’s John Brunner, Todd Aiken and Sarah Steelman). Well a dear friend mentioned our 3rd Friday Party to the Aiken campaign, and he’s coming to meet you. Yes, I warned them about all of us, but he’s coming anyway. So come and you’ll meet what could be our next Senator. Also, a representative from the Brunner campaign may come. How cool is this?
Try to be here as close to 7:00pm as possible. I hope to move everything up a bit as we need to get a good night’s rest before the caucus on Saturday morning.
Abby
