Chairman's Corner
by Jason Shepherd
|
|
|
After a brief hiatus following our Independence Day festivities, the newsletter is back full of events for your conservative calendar as we finish summer and begin heading to fall!
I want to especially remind you of tonight's
30th Annual Corn Boilin'
hosted by Sheriff Neil Warren at Jim R. Miller Park. Doors open at 5:30 pm and you can get your $25 ticket at the door.
I want to once again thank our sponsors, our speakers, and especially our volunteers who made this one of the best Independence Day BBQs we've held. Being this wasn't an election year, we were expecting approximately 240 tickets to be sold.
We sold more that 450!!!
The BBQ helped to put our fundraising totals over $60,000 so far for 2019, a great start to prepare for the 2020 elections!
The event would not have been a success without the tireless work of Jeff Souther and Carter Crenshaw who have worked for more than two months to put together the event and Phyllis Slaght who was force behind our success with our sponsors.
We also had a tremendous crowd join us for the Marietta Let Freedom Ring July 4th Parade. It was also the most diverse group of volunteers we have ever seen march or ride on our float with the Cobb GOP.
Please be sure to read to the end and mark your calendars. You don't want to miss out on a single one of these great events!
Yours in freedom,

Photos from our Independence Day Festivities
We planed for 240 to come to our annual Independence Day BBQ. We consider off election years to be a bit of a "down" cycle time, but instead more than 430 tickets were sold and we had more volunteers walking or riding on our float than anytime in recent memory.
Along the parade route, those watching the parade, hundreds of people regardless of color, creed, or age saw us and spontaneously started chanting "FOUR MORE YEARS!"
Danny Hamilton brought his Trump Bus and we had photo ops with the President and Vice-President in the lobby. The photos below have been gathered from all over social media, but special thanks to Stella Lohmann who took and posted most of the ones below. Enjoy the photos!

Cobb Young Republicans Monthly Meeting
|
|
|
WHEN:
Wednesday, July 17, 7:00 - 8:30pm
WHERE:
House of Lu, 89 Cherokee Street NE, Marietta 30060
This month, CYR is welcoming Rose Wing, newly-announced candidate for House District 37! Rose is no stranger to Cobb Young Republicans nor to the Georgia GOP. Rose is a practicing attorney and a former Cobb County Assistant District Attorney. She has served in the Cobb County GOP for more than 25 years, wearing every hat from Precinct Captain to County Chair.
Rose has done yeoman’s work in Republican Women’s organizations for decades, including stints as the President of the CCRWC, President of the GFRW, and a National Board post with the NFRW. In 2013, Rose joined the ranks of Republican Leadership for Georgia. Of the many prestigious honors and accomplishments that populate her political resume, however, one which Rose is most proud of receiving is the Jon Richards Award from the Georgia Young Republicans.
Now, Rose Wing is stepping up to the plate and undertaking a new and difficult challenge on behalf of Republicans all across Cobb County and Georgia: she’s going to take back District 37 for the GOP, re-establish Republican leadership of Cobb County’s legislative delegation, and secure the GOP’s legislative authority.
- What are her plans for the campaign, and what are her priorities in the General Assembly for the people of District 37?
- What exactly does it mean for the Republican Party to regain leadership of Cobb’s legislative delegation?
- How can we help her along the way?
Come armed with your questions, Wednesday July 17, 7:00 PM at the House of Lu in Marietta!
Also, we hope you’ll become a lifetime member and continue joining us monthly. You’ll have a chance to meet some of your closest representatives and involve yourself in the political process. We look forward to seeing you at the House of Lu in the Marietta Square! Because House of Lu is graciously offering to host us, we’d like to encourage you to plan on having a meal or a few drinks with us. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

Public Policy from a Constitutional Viewpoint

Lecture 11: Marriage and Family
Date and Time:
Saturday July 20, 2019 | 9:30 am to 12 noon
Location:
799 Roswell Street Marietta, Georgia (2 blocks west of the "Big Chicken")
Presenter: Kevin Slack, Assistant Professor of Politics at Hillsdale College
The American Founders viewed marriage—which they held to be one of the cornerstones of civil society—as a contract that conferred rights and responsibilities on both parties. Beginning in the 19th century, this understanding of marriage was rejected, first for the romantic idea of marriage as a status. This change prepared the way for the Progressives, who thought marriage should be managed scientifically by state administrators.
Hosted locally by: Jim Jess, Franklin Roundtable Vice Chair
We take periodic discussion breaks from the video as well as a free coffee and donuts break mid-way through.
There is no fee, but donations are greatly appreciated.
While we encourage everyone to attend every lecture in this series, there is no requirement to attend them all. Come whenever you can make it.
The Franklin Roundtable is not affiliated with the Cobb County Republican Party and pays a fee for utilizing the meeting space and equipment., as well as promotion in this newsletter. All views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the Cobb County Republican Party.
