Flathead County Republican Women

We in government should learn to look at our country with the eyes of the entrepreneur, seeing possibilities where others see only problems.

The Flathead County Republican Women award four $500.00 scholarships to local students.

“I have no illusions about what little I can add now to the silent testimony of those who gave their lives willingly for their country. Words are even more feeble on this Memorial Day, for the sight before us is that of a strong and good nation that stands in silence and remembers those who were loved and who, in return, loved their countrymen enough to die for them.”

Yet, we must try to honor them—not for their sakes alone, but for our own. And if words cannot repay the debt we owe these men, surely with our actions we must strive to keep faith with them and with the vision that led them to battle and to final sacrifice.

We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

Our guest speaker was Frank Miele, Managing Editor of the Daily Inter Lake.

Mr. Miele spoke about the contributions of powerful Republican Women to the political life and why they have always been vilified by the left. From Aynd Rand to Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann.

There were a lot of “strong conservative” women in the audience ready to keep defending conservative principles.

Status quo, you know, is Latin for ‘the mess we’re in”.

National Federation of Republican Women Applauds ‘Revolutionary’ House Budget Proposal

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Sue Lynch, president of the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW), issued the following statement in support of the FY 2012 budget proposed today by the U.S. House Budget Committee.

“Today, House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin unveiled a revolutionary budget proposal that is perhaps the boldest plan we’ve seen in decades. The National Federation of Republican Women is fully behind this budget proposal, which will address our nation’s critical financial situation by cutting $6 trillion in federal spending over the next 10 years. Our message to Democrats is stop wasting our time and playing the blame game in order to score political points. Let’s get serious about putting America back on the road to prosperity.”

Founded in 1938, the NFRW has thousands of active members in local clubs across the nation and in several U.S. territories, making it one of the largest women’s political organizations in the country. The grassroots organization works to promote the principles and objectives of the Republican Party, elect Republican candidates, inform the public through political education and activity, and increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government.
