Jimmie Applegate I’ll see all Kittitas County Republican Party officers, PCO’s, delegates and candidates seeking endorsement at the County Convention, Hal Holmes Center in Ellensburg, 10:00 am tomorrow, Saturday, April 17. Let’s follow a highly successful Lincoln Day Dinner with a full house tomorrow to thank our candidates for running and to let them know they have our support. We’ll also be electing delegates to the state convention and approving the Kittitas County Republican Party Platform.

Jimmie Applegate Well folks, it’s over and I’ll bet that Susan Martin, Adriana Stubbs and Kayla Carbon, not to mention Matt Manweller, are pleased as punch. If you missed the CWU College Republican hosted Lincoln Day Dinner you missed out on a fantastic opportunity to be fired up along with 400 other right minded folks. The colors were posted by VFW Rodeo Post 683. The National Anthem was sung by Emily Cronin and the Invocation was given by Lt. Col. Gregory Solem. Conservative radio talk show host Kirby Wilbur gave the key note address to the crowd of Republicans. He was interrupted repeatedly with applause by the enthusiastic conservative attendees. Emcee Matt Manweller fired up the group with his opening comments. When you have a group of 400 fired up people in a large ballroom the atmosphere is electric. There is no question but what those in attendance will form a rock solid contingent working for a long overdue (2 years) change come November 2. Any way you look at it tremendous damage has been done to the 200+ year history of the United States. We are approaching a tipping point and must replace this Obamination beginning with the 2010 midterm elections.
This was the first Lincoln Day Dinner many of those present attended. Young Lincoln Manweller was the youngest person in attendance and the most mature person was approaching the century mark. And that is the way it should be for the continuing strength of the Party.
Andrew Johnson was recognized as the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award and Jimmie Applegate received the Volunteer of the Year Award.
When you see Susan Martin, Dinner Chairwoman, Adriana Stubbs, Silent and Live Auctions Chairwoman and Kayla Carbon, President of the College Republicans, give them a well-earned hug, pat on the back and thanks for a job well done. We all benefited from their very successful efforts on our behalf.

Jimmie Applegate Thanks to Platform Committee Members Steve Douglas, Christopher Eastwood, Andy Johnson and Mark McClain the KCRP draft platform is on line for your review. They dedicated their efforts to drafting a document that is true to the principles of the Founding Fathers as written in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. Click on Platform above to read a copy. The next time you see them, give them a word of thanks! They earned it.
Amendments will be considered and the draft will be ratified at the April 17 County Convention in the Hal Holmes Center.
