Lynchburg City Council elections are coming and you can help to change the way city council works. John Richards is running for Lynchburg City Council (Ward 1) and needs volunteers for door to door as well as phone banking. The election will be on Tuesday May 1,2012 so there is not much time.

Opportunities to go door to door are week nights from Monday-Thursday 5 pm – 8 pm and on Saturday from 11am until…

Phone bank volunteers can participate Monday – Thursday 6pm to 8:30pm and on Saturday 1pm to 6pm

As I am sure everyone knows, the political season is really heating up.  That said, I have become convinced that we (and by “we,” I mean true pro-life, pro-family, limited government, pro-Constitution, Christian conservatives) must get involved in the political process.

A big part of the process goes on behind the scenes in the local political party meetings and conventions.  Enormously important issues are decided in these meetings and conventions, and I am getting involved and I would encourage everyone else to consider getting involved as well.  If we don’t, I fear that America is going to go the way of Europe.  We have already gone way too far down this path, and the only hope is for large numbers of people to get active in the process at all levels.  Voting, yes, of course, everyone should vote, but involvement beyond just showing up and voting is what is needed.

If you are interested in doing that, here are some ways to get active.  First, you should attend your local Republican Party mass meetings.  At these mass meetings, delegates to the 6^th Congressional District Convention and State Convention are elected, often new party leadership is elected, candidates for various offices are nominated, etc.  Here is a list of some upcoming meetings:

Campbell County: April 19, 2012, at 7:00 p.m.(6 p.m. Registration) , at the Board of Supervisors Room, Haberer Building, Courthouse Square, Rustburg, Virginia.  (http://campbellcountyrepublicans.com/)

Lynchburg: April 3, 2012, at 7:00 p.m., at the Lynchburg City Library Public Meeting Room, 2315 Memorial Avenue, Lynchburg, Virginia.

We recently received this and thought it might be of interest to those who care about liberty and share the values of the Lynchburg Tea Party:

UPDATE: EVENT CANCELED

The United States of America is struggling with her identity; a battle of ideas between “unalienable rights endowed by our Creator” or privileges extended to the masses from the god of Government. This is an epic battle that must be won by those who love liberty and desire its continuance for our children and grandchildren. It is not a battle of left versus right; it is a battle of wrong versus right. Those who want the government to be their god are well organized and funded. Those who desire limited government are raising a family, going to church, and working to make ends meet. We must stand together, organize, and “Take Our Country Back.”

On Saturday, April 7 at 2:00 pm in the Townes Auditorium on the campus of Liberty University, “Take Our Country Back” PAC will be introducing a grass roots plan that educates, motivates, and activates those concerned about the direction of this country. It is time to take a stand. Your attendance is critical.

It will also serve as an opportunity to raise money for the College Republicans of Liberty University, an organization of over 600 students who made more than 100,000 phone calls to voters in each of the 2010 and 2011 election cycles. Their enthusiasm and hard work needs to be recognized and rewarded as they will be actively manning the phones again this year! Your help is crucial.
Tickets for this event are $10 and can be purchased at www.foundation4america.com , Liberty University College Republicans, or at the door.

Be part of this gathering to show your support for the College Republicans of Liberty University and join others who know that for the sake of future generations, the time for action is now. See you at the Townes Auditorium at 2:00pm on Saturday, April 7.
