August 3, 2024
Greetings SCRWC members and associates,
I hope you’re having a pleasant, albeit hot summer.
It has been a very strange last couple of weeks to say the least. There was an assassination attempt on the Republican Presidential candidate and the Secret Service has not provided any explanation of how or why this outrageous breach of security occurred. The current Democrat President and 2024 candidate was forced by members of his own party to remove his name from contention and drop out of the 2024 race in favor of his far-left Vice President who’s only qualifications are her race and gender if you go along with that nonsense. When the President spoke to the nation from the Oval Office, he never explained why he “dropped out” after weeks of telling everyone that he was in it to win it!
The Paris Olympics got off to a sacrilegious start with explanations for the affront almost as ridiculous as the exhibition itself. In addition, biologic men are beating up on biologic women in the boxing competitions. The International Olympic Committee’s justification for this debacle is a definite head-scratcher. There was no word from the White House or their newly anointed Presidential candidate about these “Woke” displays. In fact ,our First Lady is there saying everything was wonderful.
The beaches in Nantucket were closed due to the collapse of a 351-foot -long fiberglass blade that left dangerous shards of fiberglass washing up on the shore. The blade was part of an offshore windmill just like those Governor Carney wants to put in the waters off the beaches here in Sussex County. All those associated with the Vineyard Wind Project are scurrying around to determine the cause and who’s to blame.
If these examples of the most recent chaos perpetrated by those currently running our state and the country don’t convince conservatives that they must vote, I can’t think of anything that will. We must help to “Get Out the Vote!” As I’ve said many times before, we are supposed to be a club of activists. So, here’s the call to action: send an email to http://info@scrwc.net and put PHONE CALLS in the subject line if you are able and willing to make some phone calls reminding Republicans to vote. You will receive a list of about 25 names with phone numbers and a script to use when you make the calls.

It’s time to get busy. We need to help change the course of Delaware and the country. We can do it if we are focused and work together.
