Encouraging Words from Ralph Reed
Faith and Freedom Foundation Founder Ralph Reed rallied the troops with an inspiring pep talk at Binks Golf Club. Jointly hosted by Palm West Republican Club, the Republican club of Central Palm Beach County, and the Republican Club of the Palm Beaches, the event was a good kickoff to election season in this very important year.
Club Presidents Janeen Capizola, Tami Donnally and Melissa Andrews respectively welcomed Ralph to Palm Beach County and GOP Chair Sid Dinerstein gave an interesting introduction of Mr. Reed, going back to their collaboration during the 2000 contested election in the county.
Ralph Reed is no stranger to south Florida, having grown up in Miami, and he gave good description of how important swing state Florida is to the outcome of the Presidential election. Touching on a number of issues, he particularly examined the recent administration salvo in the war on religion.
Although Barack Obama could very well repeat his win here as in 2008, there is a path to victory for the GOP if we all work together. In a break out session after the main event, he went into more detail about the technology that F&F is bringing to the table and what will be required to win the day.

Economic Freedom and the Path to Prosperity – Part 2
presents
The Republican buy cialis 20mg Club of the Palm Beaches is pleased to present a two-part series: Economic Freedom and the Path to Prosperity.
As Conservatives, we know that government control over our economy interferes with our ability to provide for our families. And so we have come to understand that freedom from job-killing regulation is vital to our prosperity and our children’s right to realize the American Dream. Our livelihood and our liberty depend upon our Economic Freedom.
Part II will consider charitable giving as an alternative to the welfare state, as we can only promote economic freedom if we are willing to limit the burden of government redistribution. We will be joined by Charles Bender from Place of Hope, a faith-based child services organization which is largely funded by charitable giving. And we hope to also be joined by Robert McClure, President and CEO of the James Madison Institute (invitation extended). JMI is a Florida-based research and education organization that works to help shape our state’s future by promoting practical free-market policies.
We hope that you will join us to explore some of the most important issues facing our state and our nation today.

Time to Vote!
The GOP Presidential Preference Primary is Tuesday, January 31st. You knew that – and now, if you’re like me and have put off your decision as long as you can, it’s time to Vote!
The Supervisor of Elections website has the precincts listed for this election. If you’re not certain about your precinct and can’t find your voter registration card, then look it up at the Precinct Finder. When in doubt, call the Supervisor of Elections, at (561) 656-6200. The polls are open from 7am to 7pm.
Remember (since it was in today’s paper as another ‘problem’ with Florida) – the only candidates of the many listed on the ballot still in the race are Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum.
Good luck to all of us!
