Dear Friends, An important reminder for all the precinct delegates: the next Saginaw County Republican Convention is scheduled for February 7, 2013. At this convention, we will be electing delegates to the February 23, 2013 State Republican Convention. If you are interested in being nominated for the State Convention, to be held on February 22-23, please email me at saginawgop@yahoo.com no later than Monday, February 4th. We would like to compile a list of potential delegates prior to the county convention. If you are unable to attend the county convention you are still eligible to be nominated for the state convention so please let me know regardless. Hope to see you all February 7, 2013 at the Thomas Township Public Safety Building, 8215 Shields Drive, for our convention!

Freedom to Work Panel Discussion
|
 The Troy-Clawson Republican Forum is sponsoring a panel discussion on the topic "Freedom to Work: Separating Fact From Fiction." The forum will be help on Thursday, January 31st at 7:00pm. The location is the Troy Community Center, Room 305,
3179 Livernois Rd, Troy.
Doors open at 7:00pm, and the meeting will begin at 7:30pm. (Enter through the doors facing Livernois Rd.) The following speakers are confirmed:
- State Senator Patrick Colbeck, who championed this in the state Senate,
- State Representative Mike Shirkey, who did the same in the state House,
- Jack Hoogendyk, Director of Madison Project of Michigan and member of MI Freedom to Work Coalition,
- Terry Bowman, 15 yr. union member at Ford, and President and founder of Union Conservatives.
Primarily, they will address the legislative and practical facts about this recent law (as opposed to some of the dis-information being thrown about), and the audience will be able to ask questions. Please feel free to invite people you know who may be confused about this issue and are looking for factual information.
As grassroots activists, we must stay engaged and informed. Consistent participation is key to affecting more of the conservative change we'd like to see. The event is free to attend. If you wish to attend, please RSVP here. |
