I am a new member of the Yucca Valley Republican Women’s Federated, joining at the June meeting. I haven’t been overly politically active or involved in the past, but now, I find It more important than ever.
Today I was cleaning my desk when I came across my YVRWF pamphlet. I was reading through the pamphlet and certain points of the club objectives stood out to me, ” Foster loyalty to the republican party,” and “DECISIONS ARE MADE BY THOSE WHO SHOW UP.” At the last meeting there was a candidate forum.
I was hoping to hear from both congressional candidates that evening, but only one showed up. I was impressed with Gregg Imus’ position on the issues and would have liked to heard what Paul Cook’s position was as well, but he didn’t show up. When I later learned that Mr. Cook did take the time to be the guest speaker at the Barstow Democratic Club, http://www.vote29.com/newmyblog/archives/40136, I was perplexed.
My pamphlet read “Foster loyalty to the Republican Party to promote its principles.” Doesn’t that pertain to candidates as well? I felt highly disrespected he would miss his party’s candidate forum but appear at a Democratic meeting. My YVRWF pamphlet also clearly states “I AM A REPUBLICAN BECAUSE, I BELIEVE – Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong…”
What is principled about appearing at a Democratic event, when you are a Republican? I don’t share the same principles regarding abortion, taxation, expanding government and the welfare state. That is why I have been a Republican and joined the YVRWF.
It also brings into question the party loyalty of the members of the YVRWF. The Core Values state, Mission Driven – Integrity – Team Work. Isn’t our mission to elect principled candidates? Isn’t integrity at the very heart of our core values? Doesn’t working as a team require trust in the integrity of our fellow team mates? I wish to be an active part of an organization, advocating the party’s philosophy, initiatives and ethics, that I wholly believe in.
We get it. He didn’t show up. How many articles are you going to publish saying the same thing?
26… 7 down 19 to go.
I would imagine too, until you realize his middle name is “No Show”.
How many more stories will you publish calling to question Mr. Cook’s lack of principles, integity and loyalty?
As many as it takes to get our local people to become aware of Mr Cook and his dirty politics.
We have a real choice this time… Imus, the Citizen Legislature and Cook the Crony Political Hack.
Its Simple to me.
Let’s see, at one per day until and including November 6, that gives us……..wait I’m doing the math…… at least 28 more stories, that should make Terry, very happy.Ha!
