POINTERS TO MAKE VOTING FOR CONSERVATIVES EASIER

​

To help you vote for conservatives the ballot is below. It looks longer than it actually will be in the voting booth because multiple cities are included here which will not be on your ballot. Early voting is now through October 31, Mon thru Fri 10 am to 6 pm and Sat 9 am to 12 noon. 35000+ people are expected to show up so don't wait too long and end up waiting in very long lines. BANK YOUR VOTE NOW!

 

Anderson County Republican Party recommends:

President: Donald J. Trump  https://www.donaldjtrump.com/

United States Senate: Marsha Blackburn https://www.blackburn.senate.gov/

United States House of Representatives: Chuck Fleischmann https://fleischmann.house.gov/

Tennessee House of Representatives south Anderson County: Rick Scarbrough      https://rickscarbrough.com/

Tennessee House of Representatives north Anderson County: Ed Butler     https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/legislatorinfo/member.aspx?district=H41

City of Clinton Ward 1: we are disallowed from recommending between two Republicans

City of Clinton Board of Education Ward 1: Debra Heaton AND Joey Smith (Vote for both)

City of Norris: We cannot verify any of these candidates as "bona fide" Republicans because none are locally "active" in AC Republican Party.

City of Oak Ridge City Council: Chuck Hope AND Ruth Rizzie. The other two candidates are Democrats, and Dodson illegally crossed over in the August election.

City Judge Oak Ridge: James T Normand

City of Oak Ridge Board of Education: Mary Crank ONLY. All the other four candidates are Democrats. We cannot encourage voting for any second candidate.

City of Oak Ridge Charter Amendment:  VOTE NO 

   The Amendment reads:

   Nonpartisan City Elections, be amended to add the phrase

   "unless state law requires otherwise" in order to be compliant

   with current state law provisions regarding board of education

   elections?

   My understanding of this Amendment is that Oak Ridge City

   Council is trying to stop political parties from running partisan

   candidates for the school board which we oppose and they use

   the word "requires" rather than allows. This link will show you:

   https://www.oakridgetn.gov/DocumentCenter/View/542/Charter-of-the-City-of-Oak-Ridge-Tennessee-PDF

Town of Oliver Springs: We are unable to verify that either of these

candidates in Ward 3 are Republicans. They have not been "active"

in our party and there is no voting record in Anderson County.

​

I do not recommend any of the other candidates because they

are not Republicans. The Independent candidates do not qualify

as Republicans and are being supported by Democrats.  Also,

the City of Oak Ridge has an amendment which is illegal. They are

not allowed to supersede State law to force nonpartisan school board races.To the best of my knowledge even if it passes they cannot force political parties to stop running partisan candidates. It appears they are trying to stop the ACRP's progress of the last three years.

     "Why vote for Trump" you ask, "when he has such a big mouth and bully demeanor?" 

Well, I would love to persuade you to understand why this is one of the most critical elections we've ever seen and Trump must be elected whether you or me like him or not.

     1. Donald J. Trump is the Republican nominee. The 30% of us who are red through and through will always vote for the Republican candidate even if we are simply being loyal to the party despite our differences with the candidate. I remember the 2012 election when Iowa erroneously declared Mitt Romney the winner over Rick Santorum. I was sickened. I don't claim to have great sensibilities about candidates but I KNEW Romney could not become president. I felt that Santorum had a better chance of actually winning. As for me, the Republican platform best represents my values and I vote Republican even when I know my candidate won't win. 

     2. Donald J. Trump has a proven track record. He has been president for four years and we saw how he helped our economy, border security, and foreign affairs.

     3. Donald J. Trump will stop these wars and the reckless spending associated with them. I personally believe foreign affairs should be one of the highest priorities of this election but that isn't a popular issue. The current administration, VP included has done nothing but sit back and play politics. I believe a man like Trump will brilliantly play a strategic negotiation to end these wars. I do not want any of the young men in my family to be drafted. If they want to join the military that is very honorable but I do not want any of them to be forced to fight senseless wars. Additionally I believe our border crisis is actually a result of poor foreign affairs. Bring our money back home!

     4. Donald J. Trump is a highly successful businessman and understands the economy. Now some of you might think he has done some questionable things over the years but in comparison to the wimpy woman who is the other choice on the ballot it is obvious that we need the expertise of a successful billionaire who isn't in it for the money. He's in it out of LOVE FOR AMERICA!

     5. Donald J. Trump is crumbling the foundation of the liberal agenda. Piece by piece we've watched all year as one group after another has decided to endorse Trump or to remove their endorsement from the Democrat ticket. As for abortion, I agree we should leave it to each individual state to determine their course of action. I've served in a pro-life center most of my career counseling young women in the throws of a crisis pregnancy. I have learned by working with hundreds of women that ABORTION HURTS THE WOMAN! I have come to this conclusion through knowledge and I do think we need more public pro-life education. I love that Tennessee has chosen to make abortion illegal here.

     So, those are just five of the reasons to VOTE FOR DONALD J. TRUMP! Even if you don't like him it is crucial to vote Republican down the ticket! IT'S FOR AMERICA!

     Can you remember a more dramatic election season than we are seeing right now? Of course, everyone knows that Trump is the Republican candidate for president. The lawfare and two failed assassination attempts remind us of the serious need for our continued stance against evil.​​ 

​​     On August 1st the Republican party took the majority seats on Anderson County Board of Education now holding five out of eight seats! Changes in state law two years ago made it possible for the November ballot to feature Mary Crank running as the first-ever Republican for Oak Ridge Board of Education. Two candidates are running as first-ever Republicans for Clinton Board of Education - Debra Heaton and Joey Smith.

     Local city councils run only as Independents. However, Oak Ridge City Council ballot will include a much needed female named Ruth Pless Rizzie. On this council Democrats hold 6 out of 7 seats among them being 6 out of 7 men. That is not a fair representation of the population of Oak Ridge. Rizzie if elected can begin bringing more balance. Please support Rizzie and the reelection of councilman Chuck Hope.

      For you who live in Clinton, Oliver Springs, Rocky Top or Norris we will gladly help you choose who will get your vote if you will email actngop@gmail.com.

BECOME A MEMBER OF YOUR LOCAL GOP CLUB

Because the August 1st election is being challenged for illegal Democrat crossover voting the question came to the forefront as to how someone becomes what is called a "bona fide" member of the Republican party. Two considerations are given and both must be met. First is the voting history of individual persons. The last four primary elections are reviewed which include March/May and August elections. It is noted whether a voter chooses a Republican or Democrat ballot at the voting precinct. This establishes the voting pattern. Secondly is whether a person is "active" in the party. To qualify as active a person should participate regularly in monthly party meetings or make a substantial contribution to the party as a volunteer or donor. We always appreciate financial support and regular attendance at meetings on the third Thursday of each month, 635 Hillcrest Street in Clinton.

​

YOUR DONATION: During the 2022 election cycle your local Republican party was able to gain a dozen elected seats in Anderson County! It didn’t come easy or cheap. Looking toward this year’s potential gains we have launched a Donor Membership Drive for 2024. So far the party has added three more new Republican seats in the county this year. Now we are looking toward November at which time we must hold on to our seat in the State House, hold Marsha Blackburn's seat, Chuck Fleischmann's seat and certainly must elect former president Donald J Trump to complete his second term. 

​

Will you please make a donation to fund these Republican Wins this year? We suggest an individual donation of $47.00 representative of electing the 47th President. If you would like to have your whole family represented as a donor member maybe you will want to consider a donation of $101. However, any amount will be greatly appreciated. Simply mail a check to ACRP, c/o Treasurer Rickey Rose, 2611 Dutch Valley Road, Clinton, 37716.  If you prefer to donate online simply  CLICK HERE FOR THE GOP WIN !!  We hope to see you next month!
