As we celebrate 233 years of American independence, let us remember the driving force of our nation's founding: the unfair taxation that placed undue burdens on families and businesses. The struggle continues as we contend with the growth of every level of government in every facet of our everyday lives.
But we in the Montgomery County Republican Party are hopeful about the future because we know that more and more citizens are catching on to the fiscal irresponsibility and bad policies that put big government interests before the interests of the families and businesses in our communities. As they consider their recent property tax bills and the over-regulation that prevents businesses from hiring, county citizens will have to take a second look at the Democrat monopolies that keep passing such laws. Another issue citizens may be looking at is the dysfunction of agencies such as the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission. There are lingering questions about the role played by the newly appointed WSSC head in controlling the message to the public about lead contamination in the water during 2001-04. You can read that story in the Gazette at this link: http://www.gazette.net/stories/07012009/montnew190543_32526.shtml
With the 2010 elections just around the corner, we hope you will become more active in the county GOP. A great place to start is with the precinct training session on July 11 at our headquarters in Rockville. The details about that and more are in this newsletter.
May you and yours enjoy a wonderful Fourth,
Mark Uncapher, Chairman
