Al-Pam Conservative Club
The Al-Pam Conservative Club met this month in Catherine's 1770 Restaurant in Ahoskie. It is a beautiful place, in an historic former home on the outskirts of Ahoskie. Catherine's is famous for their seafood buffet.

After the meal Chris East (shown below), President of the Al-Pam Conservative Club, welcomed the audience to Ahoskie. There was some discussion of the current status of the Hertford County Republican Party. As of yesterday, the needed organization report had not been filed with the State Party. The secretary of the Hertford County Republican Party was at the meeting and agreed she would find out what happened to the report and get it filed in a timely fashion.

Chris then introduced the speaker for the evening, Jeff Nixon from the Civitas Institute. Jeff first talked about the Civitas organization, a non-profit and therefore non-partisan organization based in Raleigh that promotes conservative values to the legislature and reports on legislative activities. Jeff described the Civitas goal as keeping the legislature from ambushing North Carolina citizens.

The focus of Jeff's talk; activities in this year's North Carolina legislature as it winds down its sessions. Jeff spoke about numerous issues, including the serious concern that we are rapidly approaching one party rule in North Carolina. The stolen elections based on illegal gerry mandered districts, a result of the Jim Black bribery of Decker, are still affecting our state. Though more citizens voted for Republicans in the last two elections than Democrats, the democrats still hold power because of this bribe and the district layouts that assure Democrat control even though they receive fewer votes. The Democrats have adopted an arrogant indifference to fair government and shut Republicans out of all decisions. They do this by constantly changing or ignoring the rules by which the legislature is supposed to work.
Some of the citizen opposed issues that are being jammed through? One stop registration and voting, tax-payer funded elections, killing the death penalty and changing the rules for "do not resuscitate" living wills.
Jeff gave an excellent presentation and the audience was very appreciative.

Patricia,
I think the party stands for what it has always stood for. individual freedom, the chance to live the American Dream for everyone, keeping government from picking winners and losers, free enterprise. That does not mean that some Republican office holders have not violated those principals. A few Republicans have become the party not of the rich, but that portion of the rich who are corrupt and willing to bribe public officials. I am encouraged by the success of Republicans like Sarah Palin, who took on corruption and proved that what Republicans stand for has not changed.
