Dear Friend and Fellow Republican,

Brace yourself!  And tell me which of these headlines puts you over the edge.

Summit County hiring

of relative causes uproar

[Akron Beacon Journal, 3/12/2012]

Just the latest example of Summit County’s elected Democrats handing high-paying government jobs to their relatives and political cronies, regardless of qualifications or anti-nepotism laws. Even the local newspaper can’t cover up that stink bomb. Outrageous!

Obama's secretary paid higher

income tax rate than he did

[Washington Times, 4/13/2012]

Forget the secretary! What about the rest of us? Liberal “soak the rich” schemes always end up soaking the little guy instead.  Small-business owners and folks on fixed incomes – hard-working Americans like you and me – all get the shaft.  Obama and his buddy Sherrod Brown are glad to let someone else pay the tab for their deficit spending, stimulus boondoggles and Obamacare.   That “someone” is us.  Infuriating!

Democrats vote to raise taxes, increase the deficit,

weaken defense and apologize for America – again and again

[OK, I made that one up]

It might as well be a real headline, because we see news like this all the time.  It’s happening here in Summit County, across Ohio and in Washington…wherever the Democrat Party’s in charge with their fat-cat buddies and media cheerleaders in tow.  In Columbus, they’re doing all they can to hold back the conservative, jobs-creating reforms that Governor John Kasich and Republican legislators are using to restore Ohio’s greatness.  Democrats have wrecked our economy, weakened our military and left our county, state and nation in a terrible bind.  Maddening and unforgivable!

Whichever headline you chose as the most irritating, let me bring your blood pressure back down to earth with a calming suggestion.  Now is the time to begin fighting back by joining your Summit County Republican friends who are working to turn back the Democrat tide that is eating away at our government, our economy, our schools and our American way of life.

Take time – right now – to renew your membership in the Summit County Republican Chairman’s Club.  Make a simple, but vital investment to support our party’s campaigns.  Help us turn back that Democrat tide, reject Obama-ism and put America back on track!

You can do that today with your Chairman’s Club renewal and your contribution of  $25… $50… $100…$150…$250…$500…or more.  As a member in good standing of the Summit County Republican Chairman’s Club for 2012, you’ll be showing your commitment to this urgent cause.  You’ll be supporting our local Republican Party as it leads the grassroots effort to elect our candidates and advance the issues you hold dear.

It couldn’t be more important.  And it couldn’t be more convenient, because you can renew online.

Remember, as a continuing member of the Chairman’s Club, your contribution will support the candidates your Summit County party puts forward for election or re-election to vital offices in government and the courts.  In 2012, the Summit County Republican Party has a strong, qualified and committed slate of conservative candidates led by our candidate for the U.S. Senate, Josh Mandel, our Congressmen seeking re-election, Steve LaTourette and Jim Renacci, our candidate for Congress, Dr. Marisha Agana and our slate of judicial, county-wide and county council candidates-all listed on the following page.

Thank you for all you have done in the past for your Summit County Republican Party.  And thank you for signaling your continued commitment with your Chairman’s Club renewal.  Your support helps make us one of the strongest, most successful and most admired urban Republican organizations in the nation. It’s a tough fight, but with your help we’ll keep winning, again and again!

Sincerely,

Alex Arshinkoff

Chairman of the Summit County
Republican Central Committee
