Lawn signs......

...don't vote. At this point, all that matters is making sure Republicans and conservative voters get out and vote.

Friends,

I was hoping to get your attention. I just need a few moments of your time.

This election is on a razor's edge. It is so close nobody knows for sure what is going to happen on election day – but I know one thing, we are going to fight until the last poll closes.

One thing I love about Donald Trump is his plan to 'drain the swamp' in Washington D.C.

Let's be clear, this is long overdue. As Wikileaks and the FBI reopening their investigation show, Washington D.C. HAS become a swamp of corruption. It IS time to drain the swamp.

It is also time to make sure the Supreme Court is NOT stacked with people who will attack our rights. 

In 2010, Augusta, Maine was in a similar situation. The Maine Turnpike was out of control, and Maine Housing was wasting enormous sums of money funding pet projects for special political allies of the director. 

Bloated welfare spending, with some fraud, along with a ton of other waste and unsustainable spending for special interest groups was bankrupting the state.

Republicans came in, looked around, and said, it's time to drain this swamp. 

Bruce Poliquin was right there with his sleeves rolled up, and he got to work.

Now, in 6 days, voters have a choice to make. Is it finally time to drain the swamp in Washington? We think so. And we can vote for Republicans Donald Trump, Congressman Bruce Poliquin and Congressional Candidate Mark Holbrook as our team to do it.

Mr. Trump has the plan to drain the Washington swamp; Congressman Poliquin has proven experience draining a swamp of corruption;  and Dr. Mark Holbrook has smarts and ambition to make sure the job is done right for the people.

But, this only happens if, right now, you are willing to pledge to join the fight with us.

In 2014, I sent an email like this, and I compared our election fight for Governor LePage to the story of the '300', who knew they were outnumbered, but fought valiantly for what they loved. In the end, though, we won.

So this election, let me frame it like this for you:

There are already hundreds of people getting involved in this election.

We are no longer on defense.  We are on offense. 

We are storming the beaches this election cycle, but the fight is tough – it is brutal.

The opposition is pulling out all the stops. They are telling lies, and even stealing and destroying lawn signs and other property.

But if we do our job, all their dirty tricks are too little, too late.

They might take our lawn signs, but they'll never take our freedom, to talk to our friends, neighbors, and every voter who will support our candidates, and drain the swamp.

Right now, we NEED YOU to come in to reinforce us. 

Will you hit the street this weekend and help us win your neighborhood by making sure all your Republican and conservative neighbors vote?

Will you fire up your computer and cell phone to make calls to Republicans for our candidates?

Even if you only have one day, or a few hours, you could make a difference.

Our Presidential and Congressional elections could come down to a razor thin number of votes.

I promise you, some seats in the Maine Legislature will be won or lost by less than 20 votes.

All we have left is to prove to the radical left that, while they may take our lawn signs, they won't take our freedom to protect our country, and our principals, from the corruption of the Clinton machine.

So please, go here right now and sign up to make a difference in your community.

We have our field team standing by to get you plugged in and working as soon as you are available.

Let's send a team to drain the swamp and begin the work of Making America Great Again.

We know which candidates will do that work, and we know what it takes to deliver victory for them.

We hope to work with you this weekend, as one force, determined to make a better America for generations to come.

Sincerely,

Jason Savage
Executive Director
Maine GOP

Emily Cain: Hillary Clinton “person of good character”

In light of bombshell news from a few days ago that the FBI has reopened their investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails, we just wanted to share this clip with you.



ME02 Emily Cain on Clinton Oct 26 2016

When asked if Hillary Clinton is a person of good character, Emily Cain offered an unequivocal YES.

Help us give the voters of Maine this insightful look into Emily Cain's judgement. This video was provided to RepubliCAN of Maine by the Maine GOP.

RepubliCAN of Maine supports those conservative candidates running for various offices.

Senator Emily Cain is a Creator of Job Growth?

In what has to be the most un-shocking news possible, the AFL-CIO has endorsed liberal, State Senator Emily Cain, touting her as someone who will help create jobs. Really? Lets be clear--Senator Cain's policies have hurt job growth, hurt our families, and have contributed to our kids having to look elsewhere to find employment. That is her record, not political spin, and it is not one of job growth. In contrast, Bruce Poliquin has 35 years experience of creating hundreds of jobs. Unemployment doesn't discriminate between party lines and most everyone can agree that we need More Jobs & Less Debt. Looking at her actual record makes it clear, Senator Cain is no more a job creator than Justin Bieber is the best role model for our kids. 

Please share with your friends and remind them to vote for More Jobs and Less Debt, Vote Poliquin for Congress and like on Facebook.

What is going on with Angus Kings Independence Wind?

 On Saturday in Bath after being introduced by Bruce Poloquin Charlie Summers spoke to a packed house at the Elks Lodge about what he sees are the issues we face as a state and a nation.

One of the concerns that Charlie spoke at length on was his opponent Angus King and his wind farm. Back in 2007 Angus King decided to take advantage of a law that he passed back in 1997 that would require utilities to generate 30% of their energy from “Green” sources. Wind being one of those sources. In 2007 Angus King founded his wind company called Independence Wind and from there the cronyism started.

We all know that the Obama administration has wasted hundreds of millions on “investments” in green energy development. Independence Wind was one of those companies that received this stimulus money. Few people in the state benefited from this money – and just under 500 people worked on this project – most for a few days to a few weeks. As if this were not bad enough Angus King went back to the Feds asking for more money and he got it to the tune of $33 million in “grants” which was for covering the cost of the loans Angus King and his company had. But why did this company need all of this money when they had on the books over $120 million? That is the question.

Listen to Angus King today and you do not hear about his wind company – he bailed out at the last moment – which Angus was quoted as saying was an “amazing coincidence”. Is this what Maine needs down in Washington or do we want someone who is honest and well respected. Who has integrity in what he has done with his personal and political life. Charlie Summers has an energy plan for Maine – that does not include lining his pockets with our money. Charlie Summers is a man for Maine in Washington.

The Knoc County Republican Committee meeting of 10/09/2012

Last night the Knox County Republican Committee had a meeting that included Michael Collins, Jethro Pease, Carole Gartley, Les Fossel, Bob Carter, Chris Rector and Bruce Poliquin – Maine's State Treasurer.

The meeting started with Bruce who was articulate, engaging and funny. He also laid out what was on the line for the candidates running for office. Bruce’s speech lasted almost 30 minutes in which he covered a wide range of issues that concern Maine's citizens.

Bruce gave encouragement to those that attended the meeting by saying “Look at all of these signs... everybody look at what you've done” and pointed out all of the signs and work that the volunteers have done for the Republican party in Knox County.

He asked the audience “Who saw Obama get nailed” which brought a lot of applause from those attending.

Bruce also pointed out that “things are changing in this state.. the reasons things are changing is because we are doing it differently from the characters in DC”. He went on to point out what everyone knows what the problems and issues are. Everyone knows that our government is too big. What happens with big government? Bruce went on to explain that government will have to charge a fortune in taxes and fees to pay for things. The issue is that in doing so we draw business investment away, jobs are drawn away and out kids end up leaving. What is left? Nothing but a series of fiscal calamities. Greece is a prime example of this very reality.

Bruce Poliquin went on and discussed the National debt as being a 600 lb Gorilla. When the interest rates start to go up we will be saddled with a spike in interest payments. The Gorilla is a beast that is in need of being tamed. To tame this beast is going to require reform. Can reform be done? As Bruce pointed out – yes it can – and he gave an example right here in Maine where government has been able to eliminate 41% of the pension debt. 41%.

What would happen if this mess was fixed? A renaissance. Our country would go through a renaissance where business investment and employment would come together. Investing in business makes them grow, business expands, more people are hired and incomes go up. This idea makes sense and the enthusiasm as displayed by the crowd was resounding.

One of the major points that Bruce Poliquin was making was that in the last few years we have turned this state around. Maine is spending less and borrowing less according to Bruce. There is fiscal responsibility that is being introduced to the state on a level that has not been seen for decades. Supporting the Republican candidates in Maine come November 6 will ensure that Maine continues down the path of fiscal responsibility and that what we have gained will not be lost.
