Merced County Republican Assembly

Tonight in Ceres, Republicans showed up.
The Republican Party of Stanislaus County hosted Fueling the Fight at Evanshire Gardens a night to fund the countywide voter guide and put real names in front of voters before November.
Sonja Shaw was in the room. She is running for California Superintendent of Public Instruction because parents got sidelined and classrooms stopped putting kids first. She is a mom who refused to stay on the sidelines. She led in the June primary. Now she is on the November 3 ballot against the union-backed status quo.
Also on the program: Congressman Tom McClintock and Congressional candidate Kevin Lincoln. Different offices. Same fight — safer communities, honest schools, and a California that still belongs to the people who live here.
This is how you win in November. Not with slogans. With a voter guide in the mailbox, candidates in the room, and neighbors who refuse to sit this one out.
Merced County Republican Chair Gene Johnson and Glenda Brinsfield-Small and MCRA President Beverly Bomersbach attended this great event and are working hard along with many merced county folks to get Sonja, Kevin, and others elected this November!
Vote November 3.
Parents first. Students first. California can still be fixed.

Steve Hilton is Grand Marshal at Madera Speedway — Saturday, September 26
This is the real California.
Not a press conference. Not a studio. The 53rd Annual Harvest Classic at Madera Speedway: dirt-under-the-nails racing, farm country, families in the stands, engines that shake the ground.
Gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton will serve as Grand Marshal. He’ll meet fans during the FanFest driver autograph session on the track and wave the green flag for the Madera 150 NASCAR/ARCA race. Super Modifieds, NCMA Sprint Cars, Legends — a double-header night that still looks like America.
Harvest Classic has always tied racing to agriculture. That’s the point. California’s working people, farmers, small-business owners, and race fans don’t need another lecture from Sacramento. They need someone who will actually show up where they live.
This is a true American event. Bring the kids. Bring a neighbor who still thinks “nothing ever changes.” Watch the green flag drop.

Saturday, September 26. Madera Speedway.
Let’s fill the stands.

September 11, 2001 — 25 years.

Today, the Merced County Republican Assembly pauses with our nation to remember the 2,977 lives stolen that morning at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in a Pennsylvania field. We remember the first responders who ran toward the fire. We remember the passengers of Flight 93 who fought back. We remember every family that still carries an empty chair.
A generation has grown up that never saw those towers fall. Our duty is to tell them the truth: America was attacked. Ordinary people became heroes. And freedom is never free.
We will not let the memory fade.
We will not let the meaning be rewritten.
We will honor the fallen by living as Americans who still believe this nation is worth defending one nation under God.
Pray for the families. Thank a first responder. Teach your children what happened.
Never Forget.
