Craven County Republican Party

FROM THE CHAIRMAN

 The Craven County Republican Party is moving forward.  We have Municipal Elections this year, and what should prove to be a very interesting political year for 2008.  For the first time in over 60 years, no sitting President or Vice-President is running for election.  The Governor's seat is wide open, US Senator Dole and NC Senator Preston will be running for re-election, along with the opportunity to take at least one of the local NC House seats. 

We have our work cut out for us, and I, as well as many of you, look forward to the challenges ahead.

The future of North Carolina is dependent upon all of us to fulfill our duties as citizens and caretakers of the sword that our founding fathers have entrusted us with.  We can lose the liberties that have been fought for by the blood of our countrymen, and we can lose it without a sword being lifted against us.  We can lose it in the halls of government, and in the town halls, and in our homes, simply by doing nothing.

Help us continue the fight for liberty and freedom, and for those things that have made our country great.  Get involved, lend a hand, stand up for what you believe. 

Together, we can take our country back from those who would destroy it from within.  Together, we can and we will make a difference.
