Message from the President by Charli Thyne

|
Dear Patriots,
While this is still the greatest country on the planet, we face huge and unparalleled challenges. Our borders, both Northern and Southern, are being overwhelmed by illegal aliens from across the world. They’re coming from Venezuela, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran and many other hostile nations; many of them are military age Chinese men.
According to Sen. Marco Rubio, Isis is operating a trafficking network smuggling illegals into America. The Washington Examiner reports that due to Biden’s open borders scheme, there are now more legal and illegal immigrants in our country than any other time in history. These numbers are placing unsustainable hardships on our availability of housing, jobs, energy and food supplies. And even Dems are starting to complain about crime and cost.
What do we do?

A big win for election integrity | |
|
North Carolina RNC Chairman Michael Whatley was recently named the national RNC Co-Chairman, along with Lara Trump.
They did not waste any time - they have already cleaned house and instituted numerous changes, all of which are intended to supercharge the RNC's strategies for WINNING in November.
In his former role in NC, Michael Whatley did a superb job of ensuring election integrity, and now he has the opportunity to support other states in taking similar measures. In addition, he and Ms. Trump are finally taking action to beat the Democrats at their own game (but LEGALLY), with ballot harvesting, Getting Out The Vote, and more.
NEW: MRW Election Integrity Committee
MRW supports the changes at RNC, and in fact, we have created a new committee, headed by Carol Wheeldon, on Election Integrity. Carol, who is also part of the Voter Integrity Project of NC, has been focused on cleaning up the Moore County voter roles since 2013. If you're interested in helping out, please email her.

NC GOP elects Jason Simmons as Chairman | |
|
The North Carolina Republican Party has elected Jason Simmons Chairman. He replaces Michael Whatley, who left the role to head up the RNC (see article above).
The Trump-endorsed Simmons was the state's executive director since 2021 and was instrumental in helping North Carolina Republicans secure major accomplishments in the 2022 elections, such as gaining control of the state Supreme Court, the state Court of Appeals, and veto-proof super-majorities in the state House and Senate.

Looking ahead to November | |
|
It might seem early to be thinking about the big election in November, but volunteers are SO IMPORTANT for staffing the polls, greeting voters, handing out sample ballots, and being poll observers. And we want to get on your calendar, so we are fully staffed and ready to take on the Dems!
In addition to Election Day, we will need volunteers for the two Early Voting locations (and we know now how important Early Voting has become!). Early Voting takes place from October 17 - November 2, 2024.
Find out more here, including how to find your precinct chairman to volunteer.

Scenes from the March luncheon | |
Yet another well-attended luncheon hosted by Moore Republican Women! Below are some of the highlights: | |
Mitch Kokai, Political Analyst, discussed the results of the March 5 primary (which was held the day before). One of his key points was the fact that only a small percentage of eligible Republican voters actually voted in the primaries. We have to do much better than that in November to Get Out The Vote! | | |
Michael Hardin, Moore County District Attorney, and Michael C. Stone, Superior Court Judge, focused their remarks on crime, the role of the DA's office in prosecuting it, and the state of the judicial system. | |
Another holiday ... another parade! | |
Moore County GOP teamed up with MRW and the Men's Republican Club to march in the St. Patrick's Day parade on March 16 in Pinehurst. Yet another wonderful display created by Miriam Chu, our own creative genius! | |
