Lindsey Graham, aka The Patriot Barbie, presented her story of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” of a strong woman, salon business owner, who defied the State of Oregons lockdown mandates and won!  Her efforts continue to empower women, champion men, embrace family values and has solidified her place at the front of the battle for women’s rights, unborn babies, and moms.

    Why are we having a Fundraiser?

    September 18, 2023 by Mark L. Torrey in / / /

    You’re kidding, right?

    1. Legislative elections are quickly approaching. Do you understand all that is being voted on? 2. Speakers as well as information distributed from our office can help you navigate the legalese that is written on the ballot. 3. The Primary election is on everyone’s mind and follows quickly. Although the party cannot endorse within our own party candidates, perhaps we can help you gather info that makes your decision easier. 4. We rent and maintain a local office where you can come to get information from monthly meetings (held on the last Monday of each month) that feature folks from all sorts of organizations and/or offices that effect your political decisions and what impacts you. 5. The office is also available to be used by party candidates for meet & greets or other political gatherings. 6. We donate funds to the Candidate Resource Committee which helps fund our different court judge races and many down ballot races who do not have funds to get started. 7. During the general election we frequently must purchase candidate signs, so they are available for our County. We have had people ask why there are so many Democrat signs, and we don’t have that many? Because we are depending on funds that are set aside to purchase them. We are not funded by outside sources or special interests! 8. Along with the help of LPRW we have printed voter guides, and will continue, so you can navigate who really stands for what, and who represents your beliefs. 9. We do all we can to connect with you through email, block walking, info texting to get the latest to you. You get the idea! Join us Saturday, September 23 for Boots & Barbecue! It’s not just a fundraiser – it’s a FUNdraiser!
