GOP Week in Review

Senate State and Local Government Committee approves election integrity bill and legislation honoring Republican Majority on State Election Commission
NASHVILLE, TN: Legislation protecting the integrity of elections in Tennessee overcame its first hurdle towards passage this week with approval by the Senate State and Local Government Committee. The bill requires voters to provide photo identification to guard against fraud and assure only U.S. citizens vote.
“Unfortunately, we know that voter fraud exists and that there are people who try to be dishonest in an election,” said Senator Bill Ketron (R-Murfreesboro), Chairman of the Committee and sponsor of the bill. “This bill aims to curtail such abuse by making sure those persons voting are who they say they are.” «Read the rest of this article»

Republican National Committee elects first Black Chairman to lead the ‘Party of Lincoln!’
By Turner McCullough Jr. | February 2, 2009 |
With the world still reveling in the afterglow of the inauguration of Barack Obama as the first African American to hold office as President of the United States, the Republican Party has taken unique steps in its own right to change the face and tone of the modern day ‘Party of Lincoln.’
Michael S. Steele at 2008 Republican National Convention
Michael S. Steele, former lieutenant governor of Maryland, was elected chairman of the Republican National Committee on January 30. He is the first African American to ever hold this position. Prior to his elevation to RNC Chairman, Steele served as chairman of GOPAC and worked as a partner at the law firm of Dewey & LeBoeuf.
He was elected and served as Lieutenant Governor of Maryland from 2003 to 2007. Steele was the first African American to hold a state-wide office in Maryland and the first Republican lieutenant governor in Maryland’s history. During his tenure as lieutenant governor, he was the highest-ranking African American elected official in the United States. «Read the rest of this article»

We are extremely grateful to the voters of Tennessee for giving us the chance to lead, and we would like to thank all of the hardworking volunteers for their contribution to this historic moment.” ~~ Jason Mumpower «Read the rest of this article»

A twist to the erosion of civil liberties: Citizen sneak attack hits Palin’s e-mail
By Christine Anne Piesyk | September 22, 2008 |
I amuse easily. Which is why I tried hard to hold back a smile, a chuckle (at the irony), when I read of GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s hacked e-mail.
The intrusiveness of that act, the back-door sneak attack on personal privacy is exactly what this Republican administration is doing to the American people every day: screening e-mails for “trigger”words, tracking travel of ordinary citizens, tapping phone lines, seeking access to library records … the list of civil liberties and privacy issues invaded and run through the shredder by our government (which is supposed to be of the people, by the people, for the people) is endless. “Government hacking” is the crude term for citizen surveillance in the guise of homeland security. «Read the rest of this article»

“Alaska women reject Palin,” just saying “no” to Palin as VP pick
September 16, 2008 |
From Mudflats: Tiptoeing through the muck of Alaskan politics, a popular political blog for the 49th state, home of Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin. This blog and related photos was posted 9.14.08 and is reprinted with permission.
I attended the Welcome Home rally for Sarah Palin this morning. Hooo. It was an experience. About a thousand (maybe) hard-core Palin supporters showed up to hear her speak at the new Dena’ina Convention Center in downtown Anchorage.
An estimated 1400 people mobilized to protest Palin for the VP slot on the Republican ticket.
After shaking it off with a good double shot of espresso, and a brisk walk back to my car, it was time to head to the Alaska Women Reject Palin rally. It was to be held outside on the lawn in front of the Loussac Library in midtown Anchorage. Home made signs were encouraged, and the idea was to make a statement that Sarah Palin does not speak for all Alaska women, or men. I had no idea what to expect.

GOP Week in Review
By Tennessee Republicans | May 17, 2008 |
The House GOP Review is a weekly feature that gives Tennesseans an in-depth look at what our Republican state legislators have been working on this week, and a glimpse into what’s planned for the coming week at our state house. This week’s highlights:
- Revised State Budget
- StateEmployee cuts
- Higher education under the budget knife
- Brick and mortar projects for K-12 schools
- House approves changes to HOPE scholarship
Governor, Commissioner of Finance speak on revised budget plans
The Governor addressed a Joint Convention of the General Assembly this week to lay out his revised budget proposal to members of both chambers. As the state continues to learn more accurate numbers of revenue projections, lawmakers took time to examine where the most conservative and fiscally responsible cuts in growth could be made. Governor Bredesen, in his speech Monday night, advised the legislature that the state would need to “tighten our belt,” and reminded them that tough decisions lay ahead. «Read the rest of this article»
