Grand Opening of Our Conservative HQ was held July 19

Area conservative groups, including the local Tea Party group known as the Northwoods Patriots and Republican organizations including the Vilas County Republicans and Republican Women of the North, held the grand opening of their new headquarters at 155 S Railroad Street in Eagle River. All members and voters were invited to an Open House to celebrate the opening of the new headquarters on Monday, July 19.

Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Candidate Dave Ross, the current Mayor of Superior, spoke to the group, sharing his values, accomplishments and conservative vision for our state. As Lt Governor he intends to support the efforts of the new Governor and be an advocate for small business as the state works to rebuild its employment base and foster economic growth.

Dan Meyer also spoke to our group, sharing his frustration as member of the minority in the Assembly working to keep the spending and legislating in check and his optimism for the sessions ahead where conservatives need to be effective leaders.

Various campaign literature and yard signs were distributed as the groups work to promote conservative candidates in the upcoming primary September 14 and general election November 2. Candidates who are members of the Northwoods Patriots or Republican Party are invited to provide their literature for display (see Vilas GOP memo to members regarding our rationale for supporting candidates). An large array of Northwoods Patriot and new Republican clothing was and continues to be available at the Headquarters.

While the three groups maintain separate memberships, meeting schedules and initiatives, they share common goals of conservatism and adherence to our US Constitution. The new Conservative Headquarters will be the host location to future meetings for each of the three groups and has separate membership literature to promote their unique positions and initiatives. All are invited to attend and bring friends and neighbors who would like to get involved in the conservative movement.

The convenient downtown headquarters is situated between D and S Mobil and Alexander’s Pizza, with plenty of free parking right across the street.

A message to members of the Vilas County Republican Party:
(Delivered at the Grand Opening of the Conservative HQ July 19)

As the elected leaders of the Vilas County Republican Party, we would like to take this opportunity to clarify for the public our rationale for how we decide to treat prospective candidates running under the republican brand. Because Vilas County has historically trended towards the Republican side of the ticket, it is a common practice for local candidates to declare as Republicans simply because it is in their political best interest to do so, and not necessarily because they adhere to Republican ideals such as smaller government, free markets, or lower taxation. For many years, local candidates unknown to us have come forward just months before an election, proclaiming their credentials as Republicans and asking for our support, only to disappear once the election is over and remain unseen until the next election cycle comes around. And although we as the party leadership ultimately have no say in who decides to run under the Republican name sake, we will, to the best of our ability, give support to those candidates who have established Republican credentials and who we believe best represent the ideals of the Republican Party. How does one establish such credentials? First and foremost, a person should be a dues paying member in good standing with the Vilas County Republicans and or, the Wisconsin GOP or National GOP. Second, and perhaps most important, a person needs to show up to our meetings and to our events long before they decide to run for office. From the organization and planning that goes into the Lincoln Day Dinner or The Great Debate, to the preparations for the 4th of July parades, many hard working volunteers work selflessly year in and year out to ensure the Republican Party is well represented here in Vilas County. If a person joins us in such efforts, and establishes that their views are in line with ours, we will do the best that we can to support them when they decide to run for office. But understand that we believe the greatest mistake the Republican Party has made in recent years is the practice of supporting candidates simply because they claim to be Republicans. We believe that in order to truly reform our country for the better, we must first ensure that the candidates being put forth by the party are true conservatives, and not those simply using the party name to attain public office. Lacking other means, one of the best ways of accomplishing this is to support those people who have come to the Republican Party asking how they can help us, and not those who come to us looking to help them.

Club President Kim Simac to Attend Values Voter Summit on DC

Kim Simac is heading to the Values Voter Summit in Washington DC this weekend and taking along this sign to promote American family values! The list of Speakers she'll be hearing from is quite impressive including governors, congressmen, and national media spokespersons : http://www.valuesvotersummit.org/speakers. Hopefully she'll get to meet one or two like Michele Bachmann, Mike Huckabee or others!

" Whatever the future may hold, we can know that patriotism runs strong in our hearts and we have realized just what a gift it is to be an American.

Knowing that there is nothing but a mountain to climb in this fight ahead, it is empowering to know that in our town, there are women who care deeply about the values and principles that dictate the life we lead. I am honored to be in such good company!" said Simac.

We are proud to have her fighting for our values in Washington DC this weekend!

Kim Simac Featured in American Family Journal

Here is a link to a featured story in the August 2009 American Family Journal. It's a great article about our club President Kim Simac's grassroots efforts. The news source has national distribution so she is really getting the word out with this coverage! Kim wants to explain that they mis-quoted her on saying our republican group was a Christian Rep. group. She recognizes that there are often mistakes such as this in interviews. She also founded the Northwoods Patriots organization that does indeed promote Faith, Family and Country -- from a conservative, but not specifically republican perspective.
