We have! As the oldest Republican women’s club in the state of Alaska, we have witnessed many elections and trends in our 74 years in the Mat-Su Valley and state. During the recent Presidential election and our State election, patriotic conservatives seem to come out of the woodwork! Their “We’re not gonna take it anymore” attitude put their boots on and showed up at town halls, events for candidates, meetings to hear from our legislators, and on the street corners waving signs for Republicans who wanted to serve our great country and state.
The younger generation swelled with support for President Trump! They showed up in the worst of the worst weather. Driving to Anchorage over ice didn’t deter them. Their mission to get President Trump re-elected was fierce. Do you remember seeing them standing on Anchorage’s busiest intersections waving signs for him? Many gave up their weekends to do this.
The Alaskan Patriots group rallied folks to join them to show a united front. This was serious business because they knew that the life of America would never be the same if Trump did not win. The easygoing slow death of our freedoms and the silent easing of socialism into our lives, not to the China Communist Party (fact) sticking their big fat toe into our federal government, has been the mission of the Democrat Party of today.
Most folks would only get their news from the mainstream media, which has turned out to be a huge part of America’s problems. There IS another side, which is one we don’t hear from them. Thank the good Lord for the internet where we can search for ourselves to find that other side! We’ve learned if Facebook factchecks information and says it’s false, that we’ve found gold! The real truth. Same for Twitter and YouTube. A recent one is an actual video of President Trump talking, and YouTube took it down because quote, “This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines.” Freedom of speech has absolutely no welcome there or on Facebook or Twitter. Insane, right?
With absolute 100% evidence of President Trump winning the election, the Democrat powers-that-be seem to think that does not matter. Hillary lost in the last election and by golly, they were not going to stand for that this time. Period. (They are in for a big surprise!) The Trump voters have risen like a ginormous tidal wave of fury that wants to take our country back and restore it again to the republic it was created to be. Our Mat-Su Republican Women’s Club Est. 1947 has witnessed wonderful growth of members who have the desire to make a difference, and we hope to be a positive force by keeping them informed and engaged. Part of our mission statement is to create an informed electorate and that is our priority.
We invite you to come to our monthly meetings which are open to the public. Our March 20th meeting will be at the Palmer Sunrise Grill in their meeting room at the back, from 10 a.m. to noon. Past Representative Lance Pruitt and past Lt. Governor Craig Campbell will be speaking.
Election integrity is a top priority nationwide and in our state. The mail-in ballots are reeking with dishonesty and for the Vote Yes on Prop 2 to have passed? Absolutely ridiculous! Alaskans may get confused by the slick wording that Democrats use for their propositions, but we aren’t stupid. For a voting process that has been used for 200 years to be turned into a process of elimination... 3 times… to get a winner? Ummm…. we think not. We want to be a part of getting this put back to rights, don’t you?
April 16, 2021: Dan Fagan will be speaking at our funtastic fundraiser at the Palmer Depot. Food, politics, gun raffle, etc. More info and tickets on matsurepublicanwomensclub.org.
One thing for sure. The Democrats really brought the patriotic people roaring back to life and action. Everything has a positive side, right?
