Hi,

Wouldn't it be simpler to join the existing group or change its  name?  ed

Laura, et all SRTC Members,,

The Google Group, GOP Principles Group (http://groups.google.com/group/gop_principles)  was created a year ago, with the same intent as the yahoo group, Stow-Republicans.  The initial impetus was a request at a SRTC meeting to mutually create a statement of core SRTC Principles.  The Group site was announced in an email to all SRTC members whose emails we had..  A21 of the 50 addressees eventually responded, verifying their desire to join. 

 

The discussion of Principles has been fairly lively, with a half dozen participants early on, with me serving as scribe and revisor.  Some chose email rather than the Group to send inputs and comments.  Of late, the goal has been  to get the Principles on the SRTC meeting agenda and determine how to influence the State GOP Platform based on the Principles.

 

Those wishing to join who have not can use the above link.  It may require establishing Google account.  Since I already had such, I do not know.  Since Google is the world's premier search engine and most linked site, with extensive features, it seemed appropriate.  If the SRTC desires, I will change the Group name to something more generic, like Stow Republicans.

 

Fight against the horrendous Health Care bill.

 

Enjoy,

ed

Hi Folks -

 

It appears like we have two email groups going on here.

 

We have a SRTC yahoogroup that consists of all of our Stow Republican Town Committee members, which Craig Schomp set up after the Scott Brown campaign, so that we can email one address and everyone in our organization receives a copy of that email.  (stow-rep...@yahoogroups.com)  On Tuesday, Craig and I went over this list of members, and realized that some people were missing, so you were added to this distribution list during the last week.

 

I did not know about this "Google group", which I believe is called the SRTC Principles Group, and I have recently seen several postings to it that I have been copied on it.  Can someone (Ed Grund?) publicize to everyone on how to become a member of that group?

 

Okay, now this is the difficult part.  I have a real concern here, as I saw an email, that went to the MassGOP organization, which specifically stated that our Stow Republican Town Committee was requesting that the MassGOP enforce certain standings on social issues with all Republican candidates for office in the state of Massachusetts.  Folks, I understand that some of you are not happy with the recent changes (in the last year) that the MassGOP has taken to "step back" from these social issues.  Might I suggest that you email, petition, call or do whatever you wish, identifying yourself as a MEMBER of our Stow Republican Town Committee, but I ask that you REFRAIN from explicitly stating that "our SRTC wishes them to".... do something, unless it is something that has been brought up at a SRTC meeting, discussed, and voted on, with a majority agreeing with the decision.   

 

Respectfully,

    Laura Folsom

    Chairperson, Stow Republican Town Committee

PS.  A reminder that we (SRTC) have been invited to the Bolton Public Library on 3/25 to meet and greet Bob Shapiro, Candidate for Congress for the Massachusetts 5th District.  Also, we will host a meet and greet with Sam Meas in April, with the Bolton, Lancaster, Maynard, and Hudson RTCs invited as well.  For those of you that missed the last SRTC meeting on 3/2 with Jon Golnik, we can always invite Jon back again before the primary in September.
