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
