Press Release

Rockville, Maryland - Republican candidates seeking election to the Montgomery County Republican Central Committee have officially joined "The Real Republican Slate" of grassroots conservative activists planning to provide new leadership for both the local and state GOP immediately after the 2002 elections. Note that if ten or more members of this particular slate are elected to the local Republican Central Committee, they will constitute a majority of the future committee members elected by local voters statewide in Maryland's September 10, 2002 Primary Election.

This slate of candidates, for both public and party offices, is comprised of a diverse group of conservatives who truly support and defend the U.S. Constitution and, in particular, the Bill of Rights. Among the many professionals represented are information technology manager, engineer, teacher, CPA, attorney, librarian, painter, security specialist as well as other trades and vocations. This diverse group of future Republican leaders is much more representative of the "heart and soul" of the Republican Party than the so-called "moderate" leadership that has ruled both the local and state GOP for the last several years.

"Win, lose or draw," said District 18 candidate Steven Dirlik, "the Republican Party's role is to help preserve democracy by offering voters an alternative to the socialist-light agenda of the left." "That can be accomplished by establishing a Republican Party that stands for the traditional American values of freedom and personal responsibility" chimed in District 14 candidate Joseph Sladki, "Let's get this Party back on track by electing a central committee that will act to accomplish those goals."

Since the 1994 Republican Revolution, which even produced gains for both the local and state parties here in Maryland, the Montgomery County Republican Party, unlike others nationwide, has been in steady decline. It's decline has been due to a number of factors including limousine liberal control over the majority of current and recently departed members, influence peddling by special interest lobbyists and behind-the-scenes overemphasis on pernicious fundraising practices versus local grassroots party building. "When the candidates of The Real Republican Slate are elected this September 10th they will provide new party leadership" said Augustus Alzona, At-Large candidate and campaign manager for the slate, "then the Party can begin the healing process required to bring back the GOP's severely neglected grassroots conservative base voters."

At-Large candidate Mary Greta Patten, a member of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), is running for office as part of this slate "in order to empower the Republican voters of this county with a clear-cut choice."

Montgomery County Board of Education candidates Robert Holden (At-Large) of Germantown, Joseph Sladki (District 1) of Laytonsville, and Maryland Comptroller candidate Augustus Alzona of Bethesda have also joined the slate for their respective public office races, too.

Contributions should be sent to: The Real Republican Slate, P.O. Box 341974, Bethesda, Maryland 20827-1974

Authority: Robert Holden, Chairman

Great job, Maryland freepers!!!

We have achieved similar results in Illinois after having a power struggle in the party for decades (the RINO "old guard" is extremely corrupt and many of them have either resigned or been indicted). The tide turned our way a few weeks ago when conservatives held their ground during a three-week long fight over party Chairman. At last, the establishment gave up and GARY MacDOUGAL, the most conservative guy to hold the office in 30 years, is our new party chairman (a year ago, one of the state's leading conservative organizations tried to draft him to run for office, saying he was the "kind of leader" Republicans desperately need)

The complacent, "me tooism" Republicanism of George Ryan and Lee Daniels is now being replaced by principled conservatives in all the major positions within the GOP hierarchy. Buh bye, RINOs.

Conservatives on the verge of controlling Illinois GOP

BUMP!

The powers-that-be know that if successful, this group will light a fire under the arses of like-minded Republicans in many other states. That's why I predict they'll be exerting some heavy-duty pressure soon. Don't let 'em win, give 'em hell!!!

fyi

Excellent. According to my friends in the young Republicans, a great conservative organization, the national Republican leadership has once again sterilized the California leadership in some way. I don't remember the full issue now, but it wasn't good. This has happened a number of times over the years. Ask DaleReed about his experiences along these lines.

[Mortimer Snavely]

Good luck.

[Hot Tabasco]

Dead voter bump. Well, since I live in Michigan the only way I can support these guys is to take on the identity of a dead guy. WTH, chicago does it....... Send me some death certs..... :)

[Donald Stone]

Maryland?? No kidding? How can we get them to move to Texas?

In light of the current governor's anti-RKBA stance, he and the ruling DemocRATS would have preferred to circumvent these articles from the Maryland Constitution:

"Art. 29. That Standing Armies are dangerous to liberty, and ought not to be raised, or kept up, without the consent of the Legislature.

Art. 30. That in all cases, and at all times, the military ought to be under strict subordination to, and control of, the civil power."

[Hail Caesar]

Yes, I do know that the P.G. committee has had it's share of problems, too. Despite the help they get from MoCo with their fundraising.

You see, money isn't everything - especially when it comes to grassroots work. Also, the state party has got to clean house of certain unmentionable power brokers currently running things behind-the-scenes.

[Hail Caesar]

Thanks for the link. Excellent info. posted there!

[Hail Caesar]

Thanks and congratulations on the great job you've done over their in Illinois!

Regardless of whether we win the Maryland gubernatorial race this November or not, certain state party leaders must go. Even they know that they've been milking the coffers to feather their own nests for too long now.

And just what is the significance of who is one the Central Committee? In California it is zip, nada, nothing, just something for poltical junkies to keep themselves entertained.
