Well, here we are, almost a month into the Trump Presidency, and the Democrats are losing their mind!
They are already calling for impeachment, and are crying about the irreparable harm he has done in just 28 days….the world (at least theirs) is coming to an end! Michael Moore is out and out calling for the Supreme Court to get rid of President Trump, Vice President Pence, ALL Republicans in congress, and replace them with Hillary.
We have seen the riots, the carnage, the chaos that the left is capable of. They claim that the ones causing the violence are being paid to create that chaos, but then, somebody on their side is willing to pay those that are willing to engage in the violence, right?
What does this tell us? It tells us that those that are on the left will do whatever they can in order to FORCE us to live by their rules. It shows us that, given the chance, the left will utilize any and all means they can in order to take away our rights to free speech. They will shout us down if they can. If that doesn’t work, they will block roads, buildings, bridges, in order to keep us from being able to assemble and exercise our rights.
The left has the mainstream news. They have Hollywood. They have most of the musicians. They are in the schools, at all levels. They have access to our kids from the cradle to the grave, and often even use the grave as a way to get more votes!
As Republicans, we have a long way to go. Yes, we are in the majority in Congress, and we have the Whitehouse. Chances are, we will have a couple of conservative Supreme Court Justices appointed in the next few years.
However, now is not the time to sit on our laurels.
Here in Washington state, we have a slim lead in our Legislature. We have not had a Republican Governor in over 40 years.
We have A LOT of work to do. We need conservatives to rise up, to run, and to WIN.
However, in order for them to win, they need YOU and ME to be there. They need US to be involved. Whether that be by working with and for their campaigns specifically, or by volunteering for the Republican party, they need US.
So, I ask you: What are you willing to do? Are you willing to knock on doors? Are you willing to make phone calls? Are you willing to write letters to the editor? Are you willing to spend time out of your day to help getting people that share your values elected?
The party needs YOUR help. We need YOUR thoughts, YOUR ideas, YOUR involvement. If you get this newsletter, it means that most likely you care. You reached out to us, and asked us to keep you informed.
Now, we are letting you know that WE need YOU. Please, reach out, and let us know that you will help.
Until next time,
Matthew Rainwater, Chair
Clallam County Republican Party
To my Democrat friends… if I have any…
Discussions between Conservative Republicans and Liberal Democrats can frequently become acrimonious if not out-and-out hostile. Not only do they disagree, but they tend to disagreeable in doing so.
In my opinion, the problem is pretty basic in nature… Republicans think the Democrat is wrong but the Democrat thinks the Republicans are simply evil and, therefore, do not see the need to apply any supporting logic to their arguments.
As an example, the Republican may note a flaw in, for instance, Obamacare but the Democrat contends that the Republican is just a racist that hates Obama because he is black.
Or, similarly, the Republican might suggest that Hillary Clinton’s usage of a private mail server was inappropriate because of the ensuing vulnerability to hacking, but the Democrat claims the Republican is a misogynist that hates her because she is a woman.
Really guys? Do you really think that everybody that voted for Trump is a racist, sexist, white power Nazi? That half of America is composed of bigots? That the sole rational in voting against Hillary was that she was a woman?
Did you not notice that, in the last eight years under Barak Obama, the Democrats lost 69 house seats, 13 US Senate seats, 12 governorships and 913 legislative seats? Can you not understand that people disapproved of him because of his ideas and not the color of his skin?
Would you, just for a moment, consider the fact that maybe, just maybe, Trump won 306 electoral votes on the merits of his positions – and, perhaps more tellingly, the lack of merit in Hillary’s positions? That it was not a “white backlash” against Obama but, merely a repudiation of his stunningly unsuccessful programs and the direction he was pushing the country? And that the electorate, in its wisdom, correctly assumed that Hillary was simply more of the same?
It was not about their color or their sex, it is what they want and how they think. It is not a case of good vs. evil but, rather, it is a case of what is right and what is wrong for the country. And most Conservative Republicans think that most Liberal Democrats are wrong.
And so does much of the rest of the country.

Ok people, listen up!! Whether you like it or not, Donald Trump is the GOP presidential nominee and it is time to quit bellyaching and get on the bandwagon.
Yes, I know that occasionally he goes off message and sticks his foot in his mouth. Ok, sometimes both feet. But remember, because of his “popularity” with the liberal press, every such misstep is given maximum publicity whereas equally clumsy statements – and out-and-out lies – by the Pants-Suited Harridan are either ignored or “re-framed” by her idolizing acolytes in the media.
But the bottom line is that, with all of his apparent faults, he remains head and shoulders above Hillary who is, by far, the most corrupt leader of the most corrupt party in the history of our republic. (Pop Quiz… What’s the difference between the mafia and the democrat party… one is a group of criminals and the other is a bunch of Italians)
A Hillary presidency will have far-reaching effects on our nation… on our freedoms… on our very fabric of life given that she will have the opportunity to appoint at least two and possibly 4 supreme court justices.
Please recall that Scalia is dead and Ginsburg looks as if she has been dead for years but too stubborn to lay down so at least two appointments are a given. And Kennedy and Breyer are both in their 80’s and likely to die/retire in the next 4 to 8 years.
So if Hillary were to be able to nominate replacements for four justices, the only conservatives left on the bench would be Thomas, Alito, and Roberts. And Roberts – who voted to uphold Obama care – is, at best, somewhat squishy.
Think of the damage a court dominated by progressive liberals could do to the first and second amendments of our constitution. The second amendment would be gone in a heartbeat and, without the second amendment, the first amendment would follow shortly thereafter. And America then ceases to be that “shining city on a hill” and turns into just another liberal slum.
So I get it that it goes against your grain to vote FOR Trump… do it anyhow and just consider it a vote AGAINST Hillary.

In answer to questions as to which candidates that the Clallam County Republican Party (CCRP) supports in the upcoming elections, the CCRP makes the following comments:
The CCRP does not choose between candidates but equally supports all those candidates that declare themselves to be Republicans until such time as a primary election narrows the Republican slate to one candidate for a given position.
When there is only one Republican candidate running for a position and if that candidate requests that the CCRP endorse his/her candidacy, the Central Committee – by vote among the members – will determine if an endorsement is to be provided.
If there are two Republicans running for the same position, CCRP official support will be given equally but one candidate will not be endorsed over another.
The CCRP Headquarters will provide space for all Republican candidate brochures, posters, handouts and other campaign paraphernalia.
CCRP Headquarters will serve as a “drop point” for those who wish to order such paraphernalia so as to make further distribution but CCRP will not order this paraphernalia unless so directed by the Central Committee.
CCRP Headquarters will post campaign signs and posters in the window on a space available basis for any candidate who provides same.
PLEASE DONATE TO HELP US REACH OTHERS.
