On Thursday February 12, the Beaufort County Republican Party had another committee meeting date. They once again failed to have a business meeting while the chairperson made illegal proclamations in attempts to have a secret meeting without members that could be trouble to her evil shenanigans. They flat out refuse to conduct legal business.

Yes. In this environment there is a crucial need for the Conservative Club.

Hooray for Italy. These are the things countries have to do to stop this invasion of illegal aliens.

Some years ago, when the boat invasion into Italy was coming on "go-fast" boards coming from Albania, and the Italian coast guard and navy had nothing fast enough to catch them. The leader of the Northern League political party was asked about the issue during a campaign, and he responded that those go-fast boats could not outrun the missiles carried by Italian naval vessels, so the solution when they tried to escape was to launch a missile after them. The media howled that such a plan was barbaric, but his party's polling numbers skyrocketed.

Ms. Garris is in total violation of the party rules. She unilaterally expels members she does not like at will. She conducts business without the advice and consent of the Executive Committee. She has formed an illegal secret committee that the Executive Committee hears no report from and does not even know who they are. She and her fellow criminal treasurer are spending unauthorized party money on unauthorized projects. The majority of the actual Executive Committee are made up of a mixture of low character people and outright morons. Almost half of the committee seems to be made up of good people that are being kept from doing business by the others. The leadership thugs will not even hear them at meetings. The party has hit rock bottom.

It is unbelievable that there are not enough people of character to right the ship in Beaufort County. It is equally unbelievable that district and state levels of the party are allowing this lawlessness to tar the reputation and credibility of the GOP. This is so bad it has become necessary for other state entities to step in.

To restore anything of value they must:
1. Stop rewriting party rules.
2. Stop illegally and unilaterally expelling members.
3. Stop illegal closed sessions to cover up their crimes.
4. Disclose the roster created at the last convention and explain how it has been destroyed.
5. Disclose the members of the Victory Committee and entertain a report from them to the Executive Committee.
6. Explain their illegal actions and spending during the municipal elections.
7. Take responsibility for individuals using the weight of the local GOP and the local GOP Woman's organization in their local activities including social media. These individuals should only have the authority to use the weight of their individual names and not the actual organizations.
This is only a sampling of the crimes these thugs have committed using the name of the Beaufort County Republican Party. It is also clear the leadership will not deal with any of this.

The things these people are hiding need to have the light of day shined on them. Candidates with their fingerprints on any of this should not be supported by grassroots Republicans. This is a very bad organization.

Washingtonian, you are the one who has repeatedly called others "liars" when the actual facts on public databases show they were telling the truth and it is your statements that are just plain wrong. Look in a mirror. You are an "alias" poster, too.

This race pits a proven conservative against an establishemnt empty suit. The debate at the Civic Center clearly showed that. Sorry that you back the establishment.

Those mailers from the Big Ag PAC are delusional if they think we care about an endorsement from liberal Raliegh RINO Steve Troxler. Troxler is as bad, if not worse, a RINO than Thom Tillis. Will they send our a Tillis endorsement next? Big time RINO political consultant Paul Shumaker, the man who created Thom Tillis politically, had a wet dream of making Troxler the establishment candidate for governor in 2024. Tillis and Troxler are the same breed of cat. Personally, I do NOT vote for Traxler, and would not even consider voting for anyone he endorses. NEVER TILLIS. NEVER TROXLER>

What is worse in North Carolina is that while the Democrats ran the Board of Elections at the state level, if someone registered without the federally required SSN last four or NC drivers license number, they were processed and registered to vote anyway. The Republican run board is now having to try to clean up that mess. There are hundreds of thousands of "voters" involved.

No Bubba, I'm just speaking the truth about a local politician (Kidwell) with words that you FEAR will affect the voters. WEll Bubba, if it affects them then it is because they know how well it is the truth. Your constant RAGGING on Armstrong wont change that fact. You simply show that your Gang is running scared.

Kidwell is like a dirty diaper and needs to be changed for the good of our own citizenry.
JUST SAY NOT TO KIDWELL. He's not for you, he is for HIMSELF.

Kidwell Derangement Syndrome is as bad locally among some as Trump Derangement Syndrome is among liberals nationally. Washingtonian has a bad case of it.

Carolyn Garris: So you can provide me access to the "email list." I need it; I have needed it.

Understandably No one, and no group, no government, and certainly no political group has acted, or will act as an intermediary between me and my constituents, so ... I politely, respectfully request the most current email list provided by the NC GOP.

Consider this my public request to campaign as I wish and need to do so, as this is, at its essential core ... My campaign!

This is how 'I run for office these many times,' ... on my own ... And with NO intermediaries.

Sadly Congress no longer serves the people but their own special interest against the will of the people and have for a long time. IMO democrats appose it because they know that people will no longer be able to vote multiple times, the dead won't vote and all the non-citizens on the rolls will not be able to vote, so cheating will not happen as much. Don't get me wrong, it will still happen but it the SAVE Act should cut out a lot of cheating.

Carolyn Garris: I want the "email list," the most current one. Kellie Hopkins can not get me that one. She told me that today.

The only special interest I see trying to buy the local House seat is Big Ag, whose political action committee has already stuffed my mailbox with four mailings This is big money being spent by a special interest so that they will own Armstrong. NO special interest is doing the same to try to buy Kidwell. There are lots of issues where Big Ag is NOT the friend of conservatives and that starts with enforcing our immigration laws, which they do not want to do. How many more of these vote buying mailings will Big Ag be sending out by election day?

These Big Ag puppet masters think that an endorsement by liberal RINO ex-Democrat anti-gun Steve Troxler for Armstrong is a big deal, but it is just one more reason to be very wary of Armstrong.
