Your work will turn the hearts of our neighbors to vote for the betterment of our nation.

President's Message by Kay Wildt

“SAVE AMERICA – VOTE REPUBLICAN!”


Stop the Steal!!! RNC Chairman Michael Whatley urges all of us to vote at the earliest possible moment. I've always been a traditional election day voter, but this year, I'm early voting on the first day - Thursday, October 17th.


History has shown us over the years that an "October Surprise" is a real thing. Whether it is Covid, another pandemic, or who knows what, we can count on chicanery at election time. That's why we must protect our vote and "bank" it early.


Don't arrive at the polls on Election Day and discover that someone already voted in your name in person or by mail-in ballot. Urge your family and friends to vote early too.


Your job and mine is to ensure that every legal vote is cast and counted correctly. Kindly read this newsletter to see all the ways that you can help.


God bless America!

In the midst of all the election hoopla, one fact remains - on 9/11/2001, avowed foreign enemies attacked us. Yet today, powerful American enemies at the highest level within our own government have weakened us and have allowed thousands of enemies to flood our borders.


The Democrat candidates:

  • VP Kamala Harris failed as the Border Czar.
  • Tim Walz has deep ties to China having traveled there 30 times and allowed Minneapolis to burn.


There is only one candidate and only one political party that is willing to take action to stop the Biden-Harris madness. That candidate is President Donald J. Trump and that party is us...the Republicans! God, help us.

Reflection by Margeaux Holland

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” 1 Timothy 2:1-2


The LORD says: “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before Me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.” Ezek. 22:30


In Ezekiel, God could not find anyone to stand in the gap for the nation; this has always made me sad. It shows that He is looking to do His work through us!


He cannot say ‘there is no one to stand in the gap for us,’ regarding the North Carolina Federation of Republican Women! We are a mighty force in word and deed. Nor, can it be said of all the states in our great nation and the National Federation of Republican Women.


In Nehemiah God calls for those rebuilding the wall to have a trowel in one hand, a sword in the other. We are rebuilding and fighting! Onward Christian soldier…”

Debunking lies about Mark Robinson

It's no surprise. Democrats have been "getting away" with lying about their opponents for years. Josh Stein has been airing commercials about Mark Robinson, candidate for Governor of NC - and it's time to debunk those lies!


Read this and send the link to friends, neighbors and anyone else who will be voting this year!


And if you can, contribute to Mark's campaign so he can hit back effectively against Stein!

Paid Temporary Election Work

NCFRW has received several requests from consulting companies for names of Republicans interested in temporary, full-time, paid work to support candidates.


If you are interested in temporary employment as a canvasser from now until the election, email your contact information to ncfrepublicanwomen@gmail.com.

Caution

Protect our candidates!

When a Republican candidate speaks at your event, they need to know if there are hostile persons present, whether press, opponent or opposition researcher.  


Announce at the beginning of your meetings that no taping, photographing or videoing is allowed. Ask if members of the press are present, and ask if other candidates or their representatives are present. 


Often Democrat candidates will send a team member to do opposition research and try to catch our Republican candidate saying something that can be used against them. That's why we must be so careful when strangers attend.


You have every right not to admit a visitor, and you absolutely have every right to ask them to leave because we are a private organization.


We have great candidates, and if the electorate votes on our track record and successful outcomes, we win. Use your good judgement. Protect our candidates!

Title IX Protection

Protect your child's school from Biden-Harris regulations.


North Carolina children were betrayed by ultra-liberal Attorney General, and gubernatorial candidate, Josh Stein when he chose not to protect them from the bizarre Biden-Harris Title IX rules.


A federal court in Kansas issued a landmark opinion halting the Biden-Harris Department of Education’s Title IX changes, like allowing boys in the girls locker rooms, affecting K-12 and college students. The decision applied to states that were part of the case - Kansas, Wyoming, Utah, and Alaska - as well as Moms for Liberty, Female Athletes United and Young America’s Foundation.


The US Supreme Court upheld the injunction allowing any parent or child across the USA to join one of those groups and to receive the same protection. If you or your child joins any one of these groups listed below, your child's entire school will be exempt temporarily from the regulations while the lawsuit is decided!


Currently parents in 350 North Carolina schools have signed up for this protection.


Text: LIBERTY to 53445 to become a member of Moms for Liberty.

OR, have your student join Young America’s Foundation.

OR, have your student join Female Athletes United.
