Greetings fellow Republicans,
As I mentioned at our last Region Meeting, we have a gentleman who is working as our Region Volunteer Coordinator. You will be hearing from Charlie Walter requesting assistance at upcoming events.

Please contact Charlie to volunteer. http://cewalter54@gmail.com

Volunteers are needed for the Delaware GOP Booth at the Delaware State Fair in Harrington beginning Thursday, July 20th, thru Saturday, July 29th, from 11 am until 10 pm. We have three timeslots available: 11-3 pm – 3-7 pm, and 7-10 pm. We need 4 volunteers for each time slot for 10 days.
State GOP provides gate passes for volunteers. A plan for Ticket Pickup is still being worked out.
Note: Monday, July 24th, and Thursday July 27th Free Day for Seniors
Wednesday, July 26th – Free Day Pass with Military ID
Our State GOP Booth is in the air-conditioned Exhibit Hall on the fairgrounds at the far end by the Grandstand and has restrooms and vending machines.
Volunteers should plan to be at the Exhibit Hall at least 15 minutes before their time slot to get the “lay of the land” from the volunteers finishing their scheduled timeslot.
To register for a timeslot, please use the link below: https://form.jotform.com/231734535950155

At the last Region Meeting, Alison Monroe, a resident of RD 20, spoke to us about her initiative to gather signatures on a petition she is sending to DNREC Secretary Shawn Garvin and Governor Carney. The petition is yet another attempt to have the Governor reconsider this mandate and keep Secretary Garvin from implementing the California standards and timeline here in Delaware. Click on buttons below to download the petition, sign and regulation. While we would all like to think that this representative government would actually be representative of the people’s will, we must realize that it is not likely to happen on this issue. In fact, the House Democrats just codified a Clean Vehicle Rebate program. The program has been available since 2014 to incentivize the purchase of electric or hybrid vehicles. The Democrats continue to practice the new religion of Climate Change and try to force their agenda on everyone.
Enjoy your July 4th holiday and remember how lucky you are to live in this wonderful country.

June 17, 2023 Greetings SCRWC members! Our last meeting before our summer hiatus is scheduled for Wednesday, June 28th. We will welcome Julianne Murray, the Delaware GOP Chair who was elected at the State Committee Organizational Convention in April as our speaker. We have asked her to describe her plans for the Delaware State Republican Committee. There is lots to do and I’m anxious to hear what our new Chair’s plans are to “Turn Delaware Red.” As voted by the members at our May meeting, this will also be our last meeting at Mulligan’s Pointe. The Board spent quite a bit of time finding a new venue that will be able to meet our needs and keep our costs at a reasonable rate. Although we’re told by the pundits that inflation is slowing, it continues to hit us at home and the same goes for the businesses we support. When we reconvene in September, we will be gathering at the Virden Retreat Center in Lewes. Please keep an eye on your emails and the SCRWC website over the summer for updates and more information. Have a pleasant, safe summer. Enjoy your families and friends. Be well and I look forward to seeing you in our new meeting location at our September 27th dinner meeting. Marilyn Booker, President Sussex County Republican Women’s Club

Greetings, fellow Republicans,
Please add this to the growing list of “You can’t make this stuff up” coming out of Dover, Don’t you sometimes feel like Alice Through the Looking Glass as things in our state capital get “curiouser and curiouser?” I know I do. Please read this excellent information from Charlie Copeland of the Caesar Rodney Institute. Then send an email, call or text your Representatives and Senators to vote against this ridiculous bill.
