Our last meeting, Feb 4th, was very interesting! Teresa Altemus popped in on Zoom and Jullian Lawson prepared a great presentation on the USAID situation. The debt clock was awful & cool at the same time…you could see the debt as it adds up and the money coming back in that DOGE was saving the Country.

Hey Patriots! What a great first meeting Jan. 7th, 2025! You can reach out to each other too, in between meetings. Remember…you can be a member of this Young Republican Group as well as others in Virginia. I know some of you belong to other groups….that is not a problem, we hope you will join us also! 🙂 We are confirmed for our next meeting at Damon’s, Jan. 27th, 6pm. This will be a LIVE meeting with a Zoom option for anyone wanting to join us virtually. Dinner will be provided again but not required. We will be discussing the Inauguration as well as other items. We have a lot to do in 2025! I have found the more I go, the more I grow…and the more I can help in our important mission of assisting President Trump anyway we can and to help Conservatives get elected. It is only by keeping Conservatives in office that we can keep our Country! The Zoom link is below for Jan. 27th.

The Republican Creed

We Believe:

That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice,

That all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society,

That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government,

That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations,

That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense,

That faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers is essential to the moral fiber of the Nation.
