A note to Hollywood

Dear Hollywood celebrities and actors you only have a place in my world to entertain me. 

That’s it.

You make your living pretending to be someone else. Playing dress up like a 6 year old. You live in a make believe world in front of a camera - and often when you are away from one, too. Your entire existence depends on my patronage.

I don’t really care where you stand on issues, and I laugh at how you think your threats to leave our great nation could hold such a value that would inspire someone to change their vote. To be bluntly honest I value the opinion of the common citizen which you could only relate to through your in character moments on stage. 

Lastly I am thankful that those electoral voters stood up to you and your bullying and kept their integrity when they voted. You see, you aren’t real. I turn off my TV or shut down my computer and you cease to exist in my world. 

Once I am done with you, I can put you back in your little box until I want you to entertain me again. I hope you realize that the only words of yours that matter are scripted. In my world, you exist solely for my entertainment. 

PURE ARROGANCE!

RepubliCAN of Maine cannot take credit for writing this piece - but I think it speaks to the arrogance that Hollywood displays. These actors live in a life that is far from the reality that many of us have to experience daily. For them to tell us how we should live our lives is an insult - especially when they fail to practice what they preach.

Here is How You Can Help Richard Bennet Cast Electorial Vote

Friends,

We need your help.

We have planned a rally and march from our office at 9 Higgins Street (just a short walk from the State House) – in order to surround Chairman Bennett with strong supporters before he makes history and casts Maine’s first split Electoral Vote.

Now, I don't think it's overly dramatic to say that I do not want to see him having to wade through a crowd of protesters without a strong contingent of proud and strong supporters by his side.

So please, help us help Chairman Bennett as he makes history casting Maine's Electoral Ballot for Donald J. Trump.

I know you have probably seen the news coverage about the flood of emails and phone calls Chairman Bennett has received trying to convince him to change his vote. It is not happening.

Chairman Bennett is an honorable man who respects our republic and the people that comprise it. He WILL cast his historic vote for President-Elect Donald J. Trump, and no amount of protest will persuade him to go against the wishes of Maine’s Second Congressional District.

Please come rally, march, and stand by Chairman Richard Bennett's side this Monday, December 19th.

We will start at our office, 9 Higgins Street in Augusta, with coffee and cocoa at 1 pm. Then, we will march together to the State House and accompany Chairman Bennett into the building so he can cast our historic Electoral College vote.

It has been decades since Maine has had a Republican elector, and Chairman Bennett is New England’s ONLY  Republican Elector. 

Let us celebrate peacefully, and stand strong together as a party united.

For our planning purposes, please RSVP on this Facebook event, or email Maine GOP Communications Director Nina McLaughlin at nina@mainegop.com if you plan on attending.

Thank you so much, and we look forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,

Jason Savage
Executive Director

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

Is It Religious Bigotry?

It is not "snobbishness" on the part of Clinton's aides and associates. It is raw, old fashioned, religious bigotry. And these religious bigots occupy a place at the right hand of the Democratic presidential candidate and are exchanging views with her. Nice, eh.

It is about hate and disdain for religious principles that don't fit their left-wing, elitist notions. More to the point it is about ACTING on this bigotry to produce religious hardship for believers and to block legal accommodation. It is also about the projections from the depths of their own warped psyches that these friends of Hillary believe that Catholics are faking their beliefs for political purposes! It is utterly sick.

It is why we desperately need change. Trump may offend the "dainties" on the left and right with his 10 year old remarks, but one conservative Supreme Court justice is worth several utterances of "p--sy" or "f--k"!

RepubliCAN of Maine supports the ideas that Donald Trump is pushing. A candidate that speaks for the people and is anti-establishment.

Make America Great Again - "Rump" Pence

"RUMP" Pence

Today it was pointed out to me that there are quite a number of Trump/ Pence signs being defaced.

"RUMP"

The "T" being blocked out

Wish I had a photo of one of the political signs which was defaced by.....

RUMP - Is this the best that liberals can do? RUMP... This is the mind set of a 5 year old.

Earlier this summer we saw the same kind of behavior being displayed by the left towards Trump. In Chicago for instance democrats came out to heckle and obstruct Trump supporters. At one point major roads were blocked by left supporters - halting traffic and making the lives of those who happened to pass by at that time a living hell.

Why

Who knows. Maybe the left feels that their entitlement is being threatened by a candidate who is anti establishment.

RepubliCAN of Maine supports the candidacy of Donald Trump as someone who is running counter to the establishment.

Is This Election about Bad Manners and Being Politically Correct?

It's about the courage to focus on defeating the Democrats. It's about the courage to confront the oft-mentioned "educated suburban women" and say, this election is more important than gender sensitivities. It's about the need to fully recognize that you are voting for a president, a vice president and one or more lifetime "Supremes", who will rule (unobstructed) from the bench. It is the courage to recognize that bad manners and a vulgar mouth should NOT block the overwhelming need to end the economic, social and political devastations of the Obama reign in its proposed Hillary incarnation!

The myth that retreating this one and coming back in super strength in 4 years is crazier than voting for Donald Trump.  No one will vote for a whipped party or a party that is like a corpse risen from the grave!

Get over it!


RepubliCAN of Maine supports Donald Trump in his bid for President. He is not a career politician and as a result is not polished like Hillary Clinton.

Four More Years of the Same? Or Are We Ready for a Change?

There are absolutely no surprises with Clinton, 4 more years of a carbon copy of Obama's left wing agenda: more regulation (of everything), more assaults on freedom of religion (kill it!!), more taxes, more government (except for a  poorly funded, strangled, castrated military) and a more entrenched federal bureaucracy.  Plus, Hillary will continue Obama's nationally polarizing disdain for opponents (known to this administration as "enemies"). Obamacare will collapse and taxpayers will be forced to pay for a single payer plan. 100% predictable.

Trump is certainly far from predictable, but "talks the talk" and offers plausible alternatives. Most important, he takes our security seriously.

Then, last, but by no means least, there are "The Supreme's", governing from the bench. Filling the  current empty seat can't be held off for 4 years. It's Clinton vs Trump. An enduring legacy that could last 20 + years. 

The choices couldn't be clearer.

RepubliCAN of Maine supports the current Republican candidate and any candidates who endorse the Republican candidate running for President.
