When the chips are down and

the decisions are made as to

who the candidates will be,

then the 11th commandment

prevails and everybody goes to

work, and that is: Thou shalt

not speak ill of another Re-

publican.

RONALD REAGAN, remarks

at a reception for delegates to

the New York Republican

Convention, Jun. 17, 1982

As we move into the spring,

with the election of our lifetime

looming less than one month

out, we all need to remember

that we as Republicans are es-

sentially working toward the

same goals. We may differ in

who we want to lead us to those

goals, but we still are striving for

the same ideals.

One of the key

tenants of our local

club is that we can-

not show prejudice

or support to any

one candidate in

the primaries. We

need to treat all

candidates with

respect.

With that in mind, I thought it

would be a good time to re-

member why we are Republi-

cans and what we stand for-

Because Principles Matter.

The reverse side of our busi-

ness card lists the Republican

Party of Texas Conservative

Principles. You may review

the entire list by clicking on this

link to the RPT website and

view of our Conservative Princi-

ples.

March Meeting~ American Exceptionalism

[email protected] T H E C R W

We will meet at the

Coppell Biodiversity

Center on Sunday,

March 6, 2016 at 3:00

pm for refreshments and

social time. Our meet-

ing will begin at 3:30 pm

as we welcome our

guest speaker, Mike Lee.

Mike’s subject will be

American Exceptionalism

and he will leave us mo-

tivated, rejuvenated and

asking for more.

Mike is a retired Navy

Hovercraft (LCAC) Pilot

and Flight Instructor

who logged over two

thousand flight

hours. When he began,

he was one of twelve

worldwide! During the

first gulf war and under

his leadership, his de-

tachment was awarded

and remains the only

LCAC detachment to

receive the Navy's Battle

Efficiency Ribbon, Navy

Unit Commendation and

Combat Action Rib-

bons. Additionally, un-

der his leadership the

detachment was recog-

nized for the astounding

number of crewmem-

bers who qualified as

Surface Warfare Special-

ist. Mike also served as

a Recruit Company

Commander / Navy Drill

Instructor and Survival

Instructor.

Republican

Party of

Texas Vice

Chairman

Amy Clark

Hope you can par-

ticipate in this op-

portunity to meet

and learn from

Amy Clark on

February 20



The Coppell Republican Women are hosting Amy Clark, Vice-Chairman

of the Texas GOP for a Messaging Seminar on Saturday, February 20 and

we would love for you to attend. Amy briefly touched on how to effectively

talk to liberals when she was our January speaker and we knew she had to

return for a more in-depth discussion.

We will meet on February 20 at River Oaks Assisted Living and Memory

Care at 1530 E. Sandy Lake Road in Coppell at 9:00 am for refresh-

ments with seminar beginning at 9:30 am. Seating is

limited so please RSVP to CoppellRepublicanWom-

[email protected]; a $5.00 donation per person will be

collected at the door. Participants will have an oppor-

tunity to pre-order Jason's Deli and pay at the semi-

nar. We will break for lunch at 11:30 and return for

an opportunity to practice through role play with

Amy.

Amy will explain how we can communicate our mes-

sage without insults, without attacking values, and

without barraging liberals with boring facts. It is vital

for conservatives to reach out to friends whose opin-

ions and beliefs have been shaped solely from the liberal media. Our goal

should be to enlighten and eventually spark a change in thinking.

Honoring America’s Veterans We honored and celebrated America’s

Veterans on October 29, 2015 with a spe-

cial event featuring Kris Paronto. Known

as ‘Tanto’, he is one of the real life heroes

from the Benghazi attack on September

11, 2012.Our co-hosts were the Irving

Republican Women and we welcomed

over 200 people to meet Tanto, get books

signed and listen to his amazing story of

courage and loss during

the attack. He is co-

author of the book 13

Hours The Inside Account

of What Really Happened

in Benghazi.During the

event all veterans in at-

tendance were introduced

by name, rank and branch of service.

The movie based on the book was

released on January 15, 2016. Sev-

eral of our members attended the

world premiere at AT&T Stadium

and left feeling stunned, over-

whelmed and speechless after see-

ing the heroism displayed.
