Announcement from David Cole, chairman, Missouri Republican party:

We are pleased to announce that the Missouri Republican Party, in conjunction with the Missouri Association of Republicans, will be hosting our annual 2011 statewide Lincoln Days in February in Springfield, Missouri-the heart of conservative Southwest Missouri and home of Senator-elect Roy Blunt. The event, which is now in its 112th year, will bring together hundreds of Republican activists and elected officials from across Missouri.
This year, the gathering will serve as a huge 'thank you' to you, our most devoted volunteers and conservative grassroots activists, for your hard work during the recent election. Lincoln Days will also be the unofficial start to the 2012 campaign season-a critical election that will see races for 5 of Missouri's statewide constitutional positions, a race for U.S. Senate, and of course, a campaign for president.
Over the years, Missouri's Lincoln Days celebration has attracted some of the biggest names in national politics, and this year will be no different. We are currently working to put together an exciting program of dynamic speakers and events-so please stay tuned for details.
Registration will open in the coming weeks, and we will provide you with this information as soon as it is available.
Until then, please save the date for what will surely be an great event!
What: 2011 Lincoln Days, hosted by the Missouri Association of Republicans
When: February 25-27, 2011
Where: University Plaza Hotel, Springfield, MO
We look forward to seeing you in Springfield in February!
Sincerely,

David Cole
Chairman
Missouri Republican Party

Celebrate the 'Blessings of Liberty' on Thanksgiving Day

America, an amazing and exceptional country, is grounded in principles and ideas, but these ideas are under seige.

“Blessings of Liberty” – this phrase illustrates the deep connection between faith and liberty by holding that liberty is a divinely-bestowed gift. This is a point which Heritage Foundation scholar Matthew Spalding eloquently makes in this recent video (watch below):





From the very beginning of our nation, faith and freedom were deeply intertwined. Liberty strengthened faith, allowing it to freely express its beliefs; pursue its divine mission. But faith was necessary for liberty – not only does it shape moral character; it builds the moral fiber necessary for us to be free."

Patriotic song,God Bless America, an immediate hit and has been ever since.

Sung by Kate Smith as she introduces this song for the first time to America on Nov. 11, 1938.

She sang Irving Berlin's prayerful "God Bless America" for the first time on her radio show in 1938 and it became an overnight sensation, and is still sung to this day.

Note: Be sure to watch the entire video because at 4.21 there is a cameo performance by, yes, it really is-- Ronald Reagan.

MoGOP chairman: "Historic victories will be remembered for generations to come"

David Cole, Chairman of the Missouri Republican Party released the following statement regarding the outcome of the 2010 elections:

“Across the nation and throughout Missouri, millions of Americans stood up for freedom and against Barack Obama’s big government policies. In race after race and state after state, overwhelming Republican victories serve as both a repudiation of the Democrats failed agenda and a call to return to responsible, common-sense solutions that will create jobs, jumpstart the economy, and rein in a national debt that is threatening our future.

“The Missouri GOP would like to congratulate our Republican candidates at all levels of government for their hard-fought campaigns and thank them for their desire to serve their fellow Missourians—especially Senator-elect Roy Blunt, Congresswoman-elect Vicky Hartzler, Auditor-elect Tom Schweich, Congressman-elect Billy Long, and the new and returning GOP members of the Missouri General Assembly.

“Their historic victories will be remembered for generations to come..."
