Penobscot County Committee Meeting~

Penobscot County Meeting~

I just got back from the Penobscot County Republican Committee meeting in Brewer. Our chair Rick Johnston had arranged for Matt Jacobson, a Republican candidate for Governor, to be the guest speaker. You can read more about Matt at http://www.jacobsonforgovernor.com/

I will not attempt to relay Matt Jacobsons message.... I will arrange for him to come for a meet the candidate event and let folks make up their own minds. He offered to come so I will contact his campaign team with a few dates.

We also got an update from Senator Debra Plowman from district 33. She said that we should all thank our Republican minority representatives for standing united and not allowing the democrat majority to pass legislation that would increase the gas tax.....yes you read that correctly, the majority Dems wanted to RAISE THE GAS TAX in this economy!!!

Make a point to contact your republican legislatures and thank them.......Thanks Rep Gifford.

I would thank Senator Elizabeth Schneider(D), but she was for the gas tax. Enough said????

There will be no county meetings for July or August.

I know some of you are gearing up for summer, but we have no laurels to rest on. Time is of the essence and it will take a team effort if we ever expect to break the 35 year choke hold that the democrats have had in this state. Maine is worth fighting for!!!!
