The Republican Party in Johnston County North Carolina
Saturday the 24th of April at the Republicans 2nd Congressional District Convention I was talking with Andrew Tyree the Chairman and Joy Paul the Treasure for the Johnston County GOP. (Just to be up front I was a delegate at that convention.) I asked them what the Republican Party in Johnston County was going to do to recruit new members. I explained that after the results of the last couple of elections and especially after this last election I felt the Republican Party needed to get back to its roots or we would continue to loose elections so what were their plans. I was surprised to find out that according to both of them Johnston County has seen a growth in the Republican Party over the last year and half. They explained that two years ago when they had their monthly meeting they would have just a hand full of people show up but over the last year it has been mostly standing room only. They explained that they realized with my schedule it is hard for me to make the meetings but I needed to come and see for my self not to take their word on it. I was also asked why I have become involved since I have written articles condemning both the Republicans and Democrats. I explained that before I gave up on the Republicans I should at lest try and help to bring the party back to its roots. So I say to all who have left the Republican Party and became Independents and anyone who believe that the government is too big, taxes to high and believe in a free market and individual responsibly, if you believe that the government should serve the people not the people serve the government, if you believe in a strong military and in the American Dream stop complaining and help us.
