Fortify Geauga Newsletter
May 9, 2024
Hello, Friends,
Welcome to a brand new week. This is the Fortify Geauga Newsletter for May 9, 2024.
Do you ever get the feeling our “red” county is not really very red? Does it make sense to you that the majority of Geauga county voters chose to enshrine unrestricted abortion in our constitution last year, or to approve recreational marijuana? Have you noticed the antagonism expressed by our “Republican” elected officials toward conservatives in our community? If we really are in the majority, why doesn’t it seem like it? We need to bring grassroots conservative values back to OUR Republican party. It starts with transforming our Geauga County GOP Central Committee into a vibrant, effective body that truly represents us. Take a look at this week’s post, Republicans in Geauga County Need Real Representation to understand how weakness in our county GOP is holding us back and what you can do to help.
Most everyone here in Geauga County is familiar with Liberty Camp, one of our great local institutions. Did you know Liberty Camp is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year? At only $50 per camper, Liberty Camp is an exceptional value. Enrollment is still open for children and teens, but spots are going fast. Liberty Camp is in need of adult volunteers to make the camp experience spectacular for young campers. Please consider volunteering, registering your children, and attending Liberty Camp’s 10th Anniversary celebration. (Camp and event registration information in post)
Did you know there is a fundraiser for US Senate Candidate Bernie Moreno on May 17th here in Geauga County? This unique opportunity will take place among the rare car collection at the home of host Mitch Bowlus. Spots are filling up quickly. Don’t miss this opportunity to help a truly America-first candidate defeat Sherrod Brown.
Save the Date: Join us for our May Patriot Potluck on Monday, May 20th at 6:30pm. (Registration required – details here.) We’ll have updates from Chris Alusheff on anticipated Senate legislation to curtail township zoning rights and information from the Ohio Election Integrity Network about the newly-introduced Ohio Votes Count Act.
As always, thank you for spending a few moments with us. Have a wonderful week.
