Letter from the organizers

Last year was a great year to be a Republican, especially in Collier County.  I hope that you will join “THE PARTY” as we celebrate all the volunteers who helped make Collier the Number 1 Republican county by turning out 91.47% of the vote.   This election was a true grassroots success story with volunteers at 3 offices in Collier County along with those volunteering outside the offices taking our message throughout the county talking to their friends and neighbors, writing Letters to the Editor, waving signs, standing at the polls, and so much more.  With the extraordinary efforts of all our volunteers, we won at the local, state and national level.  We are inviting all elected officials to join us in celebrating those who helped them win!

We are pleased to announce that we will also honor our Collier County Supervisor of Elections, Jennifer Edwards.  Jennifer is an outstanding example and role model for all Supervisors of Election across the state.  She maintains accurate records, manages polling locations efficiently, ensures that all voting is secure and without fraud.  She is a role model within the community and highly respected by all.

The Collier County Republican Executive Committee (CCREC) in conjunction with all the Republican Clubs in Collier County including the Women’s Republican Club of Naples Federated, the Caxambas Republican Club, the Republican Women of Southwest Florida Federated, the Collier Republican Club, the Men’s Republican Club of Collier County, and the Republican Club of Ave Maria sponsors this annual event.

Always remember ‘There is no I in Team’ – this was a fabulous team effort including every one of you!  Now it’s time to party with the full team

February 2017 President’s Message – Values and New Energy in US

/0 Comments/in /by

Jim Carter

Dear Fellow Republicans,

I received this from a friend I grew up with in Toledo. Our families shared the same values. We have always stayed in touch.
When you read this it will reinforce what a Obama, Clinton and Kerry did to weaken our country. Also, it shows what real leadership can accomplish in a very short period of time. Keep the faith.
Jim Carter

The Message:

Most of you know that our son, Luke, works in a leadership position within US Special Operations, specializing in counter-terrorism, at the Pentagon. I spoke with him last night to get his view of how the first week of the Trump administration was perceived there. It was a short conversation but very informative.

The difference he said is nothing short of amazing. It is almost as though you can feel it in the air, in the pace of people strides, in the expressions on their faces. But beyond that, the change in process has been immediate. Within 48 hours several action orders that had been languishing for up to six months between State, NSC, and the White House, were approved and executed. Over the last 8 years ( Luke has been there for about 15 years) and particularly, the last 3 to 4, the atmosphere has been stifling. Every little thing had to be vetted by dozens of 30-year old State Department lawyers ( with no military experience) before it even got up the chain, effectively neutering the senior officers and reducing effectiveness to near zero. This past week, Luke took something to General Dunford, our Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and within minutes it was approved by the Sec Def, General Mattis ( both Marines, by the way) and green-lighted.
There is new energy flowing through the whole building. There is a new sense of purpose, a new resolve that is palpable. A cloud has been lifted.

Say what you will about our new president, and there certainly is a lot ( pro and con) that could be and is being said, the folks at the pentagon are walking with a new skip in their step.
Thought you might like to hear about this.

“US”

by Paul Genova

I’m noticing that a lot of you aren’t graciously accepting the fact that your candidate lost. In fact, you seem to be posting even more hateful things about those of us who voted for Trump.

Some of you are apparently “triggered” because you are posting how “sick” you feel about the results.

How did this happen, you ask?

——————-

You created “us”

when you attacked our freedom of speech.

You created “us”

when you attacked our right to bear arms.

You created “us”

when you attacked our Christian beliefs.

You created “us”

when you constantly referred to us as racists.

You created “us”

when you constantly called us xenophobic.

You created “us”

when you told us to get on board or get out of the way.

You created “us”

when you forced us to buy health care and then financially penalized us for not participating.

You created “us”

when you lied and said we could keep our insurance plans and our doctors.

You created “us”

when you allowed our jobs to continue to leave our country.

You created “us”

when you attacked our flag.

You created “us”

when you took God out of our schools.

You created “us”

when you confused women’s rights with feminism.

You created “us”

when you began to emasculate men.

You created “us”

when you decided to make our children soft.

You created “us”
When you decided to rewrite school history books and remove the truth about our founders

You created “us”

when you decided to vote for progressive ideals.

You created “us”

when you attacked our way of life.

You created “us”

when you decided to let our government get out of control.

“You” created “us”

the silent majority.

You created “us”

when you began murdering innocent law enforcement officers.

You created “us”

when you took a knee, or stayed seated or didn’t remove your hat during our National Anthem.

And we became fed up and we pushed back and spoke up.

And we did it with ballots, not bullets.

With ballots, not riots.

With ballots, not looting.

With ballots, not blocking traffic.

With ballots, not fires, except the one you started inside of “us”.

“YOU” created “US”.

It really is just that simple.

JMI Naples Annual Dinner with Judge Andrew Napolitano

/0 Comments/in /by

The James Madison Institute is hosting its 2017 Naples Dinner on Thursday, February 23 featuring Judge Andrew Napolitano. The evening is sure to be a great time for all supporters of liberty at the beautiful Ritz-Carlton Beach Resort.

We would love for you to share this opportunity with your organization and your members, whether that is at your meetings, through an email blast announcement, or your social media accounts.

You can find more information about the event, purchase tickets, and learn about sponsorship opportunities by contacting Don Orrico at dorrico@jamesmadison.org / (239)-449-9430 or by visiting http://www.jamesmadison.org/events/detail/youre-invited-jmi-naples-annual-dinner-with-judge-andrew-napolitano

The James Madison Institute hosts its 2017 Naples Dinner on Thursday, February 23 featuring Judge Andrew Napolitano.

Judge Andrew P. Napolitano is a graduate of Princeton University and the University of Notre Dame Law School. He is the youngest life-tenured Superior Court judge in the history of the State of New Jersey.  He sat on the bench from 1987 to 1995, when he presided over more than 150 jury trials and thousands of motions, sentencings, and hearings.  Judge Napolitano taught constitutional law and jurisprudence at Delaware Law School for two years and at Seton Hall Law School for 11 years. He was often chosen by the students as their most outstanding professor. He returned to private practice in 1995, and began television work in the same year.

As Fox News’ Senior Judicial Analyst since 1998, Judge Napolitano broadcasts nationwide on the Fox News Channel throughout the day, Monday through Friday. He is nationally known for watching and reporting on the government as it takes liberty and property.

Judge Napolitano lectures nationally on the U.S. Constitution, the rule of law, civil liberties in wartime, and human freedom. He has been published in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, and numerous other publications. His weekly newspaper column is seen by millions every week.

The Judge is the author of eight books on the U.S. Constitution, two of which have been New York Times Best Sellers.  His most recent book, SUICIDE PACT: The Radical Expansion of Presidential Powers and the Assault on Civil Liberties, details a long, sordid history of governmental – and especially presidential – encroachments on liberty, enacted in the name of protecting America but which serve instead to undermine national security and erode the nation’s founding freedoms.

The event is taking place at the Naples Ritz-Carlton Resort with a VIP reception at 5:30 and dinner at 7:00.

Speaker Newt Gingrich is coming to Naples on January 26th, and you’re invited

/0 Comments/in /by

This is Newt’s very first public speech post inauguration. The setting is unique and intimate. Seating is limited, and great food will be provided.

Newt will speak briefly about what a Trump win means for the GOP, and the first 100 days of the Trump administration. He will then do something special. He’ll turn the next hour over to the audience to ask questions. You’ll get to ask Newt directly about the things you care most about. And worry most about.

He’s looking forward to your questions. And you’ll get insights that only Newt can provide.

This very special event benefits APR, a non-profit alternative to NPR that’s dedicated to telling great stories about free enterprise, faith, and the values that have made America exceptional. APR’s first radio program, Our American Stories, is heard every weeknight from 6-8pm on WGUF 98.9 FM and WSRQ 106.9 FM from 10pm-Midnight.

Don’t miss this exciting evening with one of our nation’s very best conservative minds. Tickets are limited, so order them now.
We hope you can join us at the Naples Hilton at 7:30pm. Enjoy the company. The conversation. And the great food and drinks provided by Shula’s steakhouse, all of which are included in the admission price.
Look forward to seeing you there,
Lee Habeeb

January 2017 President’s Message

/0 Comments/in /by

Jim Carter

After hearing President Obama’s farewell address to the Nation ( and I hope it’s the last) and initial Senate confirmation hearings on Jeff Sessions for Attorney  General and Rex Tillerson for Secretary of State, I’ve concluded we are truly fortunate Donald Trump is our President. Trump is surrounding himself with high quality, intelligent and knowledgeable people that clearly know how the world works.

Obama is a great speaker as long as its scripted on a TelePrompTer. Otherwise he rambles and repeats himself  and shows you his egotistical and narcissist self. He will leave office and form a shadow government financed by George Soros and his cronies. They believe in National Socialism with them controlling every facet of your life. Not once during his last speech or any others does he say that we are a constitutional Republic. That’s what we are. To him, it’s by intent, he uses the word Democracy. A democracy makes all decisions by a simple majority vote. How convenient . He and his fellow travelers would get rid of the Electoral College in a heart beat.

The trouble is most people don’t understand the Electoral College prevents a few population centers from controlling who is elected President. For example: Hillary won California 5,860,714 to Trumps 3,151,821-61.6% to 33.1% exclusive of other candidates. But take her California vote away from her National vote and it’s 54,978,783. Do the same with Trump and his is 57,113,976. Now Trump’s popular vote is 51.3% and Hillary is 48.7%. So Hillary is President of California!!

Great she fits right in with the land of nuts and Hollywood fools who spend most of their lives pretending they are some one else. This is the wisdom of the Electoral College. It represents all the States–not one or two. This is one of the reasons why we are the most successful Republic the world has ever known and not just a democracy.

This election period is one of sweet success : we won

  • The Presidency  
  • A majority in the House 
  • A majority in the Senate 
  • Almost 2/3 of Governorships 
  • Total control of State Houses in almost 2/3 of the states 
  • And soon we should add a majority to the Supreme Court

The only way we will fail is if we fight among ourselves and lose focus on the goals of National Security, reducing govt. regulations, streaming the Tax codes ( business and personal), revamping health care and education and build America’s resources to operate from strength. We don’t need to change the Constitution, Amendments or Bill of Rights. We only need to educate those who don’t understand them. Perhaps that’s why cockroaches have a higher rating than the U.S. Senate.

Greg Engel to All

It is with heavy heart that I inform everyone that my Dad, Paul Engel, passed away last night at his home.  The aggressive cancer continued to spread and all treatments had little effect.  Paul was admitted to NCH hospital in Naples, Fl on New Years Day to try to combat the weakness and pain.  After 2+ months of a never give up fight, on Tuesday, he made the decision that he wanted to come home with hospice care as the pain from this horrible cancer was becoming unbearable.  He was happy that my brother Tom and I were able to spring him from the hospital on Wednesday afternoon and get him set up with an adjustable bed in front of his new big screen tv.  

The immediate family, including his sister and brother in-law from Minnesota were able to gather around and spend some very valuable time with him over the last 2-3 days.  I know he talked to our communicated with many of you over the last couple of days and wanted to make sure that everyone knew how important their relationships were to him.  

As you know, Paul loved traveling with his family/friends, fishing and drinking Lite Beer so I thought I’d share a private tribute video:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E-Q7RlE8_vU&feature=youtu.be

We will be planning a memorial service for dad over the next couple of days and will keep everyone informed of the details.  Please feel free to share this with others and remember to always wear sunscreen.
