Memorandum Wednesday, February 10, 2010 To:  Colorado Republican Leaders From:  Dick Wadhams, State Chairman Subject:  INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS The Washington Post has a very significant piece about the movement of the “generic ballot” in several recent national polls that is very encouraging news for Republicans. This is not the time for a victory lap but it does show that the 2010 playing field will be much more hospitable for Republican candidates than we faced in 2006 and 2008.

Young Republicans

I attended the monthly meeting of the Denver Metro Young Republicans (DMYR) last night (Tuesday the 26th). As always, we non-young Republicans are well received by the next generation of our party leaders and it’s always a fun time to network with like-minded activists. Their leader, Brett Moore, runs a tight ship. We heard from many candidates and I was privileged to be on a panel with 6 other county chairs. We discussed what is happening in our respective counties and took questions from the audience. The venue is Hamburger Marys on 17th Ave — check it out (the Link is on the LINKS column – DMYR). Our own David Pigott was there representing Broomfield. A new Broomfielder was there as well, volunteered and is anxious to get to work.

Conservative Values Win in MA

There can be no doubt. After the Scott Brown win in MA, it is clear that the American people want limited government, fiscal responsibility and elected officials that listen to us. Our values, as described on this website and all over the Republican Party are the values that will carry us to victory in 2010. Congratulations to Scott Brown and to all the American people who helped make noise to get him elected and to make “them” hear us. Shout our values loudly!

Caucus Education

We will be holding 3 education sessions for anyone involved in the Caucus process — in particular Precinct Committee Persons (PCP) and Volunteers. These sessions will describe the entire process and include the conduct of a “mock” Caucus. We want our Caucus on March 16, 2010 7:00pm to be successful and to allow everyone that wants to participate to have their voice heard. Therefore, we’ll be holding the following sessions:

• Saturday February 20, 2010 from 9:00-12:00 (Venue TD)
• Saturday March 6, 2010 from 9:00-12:00 (Venue TBD)
• Thursday March 11, 2010 6:00pm (make-up session in place of our normal monthly meeting)

PCP — what is their role?
The key to success in all our party activities, including the Caucus, is the PCP.
This article explains more about the role of a PCP and the process: PDF

Social Security

Social Security Just in case some of you didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it.  Be sure and show it to your kids. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts!!! Our Social Security Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised that: 1.) Participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary, No longer Voluntary 2.) Participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program, Now 7.65% on the first $90,000 3.) Money the participants put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year, No longer tax deductible 4.) That the money the participants elected to put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and, Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and Spent 5.) Annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income. Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed ———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —- Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it? A.Lyndon Johnson and the Democrat controlled House and Senate. ———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— – Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding? A: The Democrat Party. ———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —– Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities? A: The Democrat Party, with Al Gore casting the ’tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the  US ———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— - Q: Which Political Party decided to startgiving annuity payments to immigrants? A: Jimmy Carter and the Democrat Party! Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democrat Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it! ———— — ———— ——— —– ———— ——— ——— Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it! Are you one of them? If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!! A government big enough to give you everything you want, strong enough to take everything you have. -Thomas Jefferson
