Sheriff Scott Stephenson of Alcona County will be at our July 22nd meeting.
We have stream-lined the meetings and Scott will be introduced right after the invocation. So, be a bit early. Remember, we open at 6:30 pm, and the meeting starts at 7:00 pm.
We had a wonderful time at the 4 County Lincoln / Reagan Dinner.
Very rarely do you see this many Chairs all in one spot:
CONTACT YOUR U.S. LEGISLATORS
Call, email, send a fax, or send a letter.
We must let these people know we want Border Security, including a WALL / BARRIER. We want an end to this partial shutdown. Their number one job is to keep Americans safe. They MUST work with President Trump to do that.
Contact ALL of the U.S. Legislators. Border Security is a National issue. Their votes effect us all.
U.S. Congress: www.house.gov/representatives
U.S. Senate: www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators
IMPORTANT: Clicking on their names will lead you to their website where you can get all of their contact information. Most legislators use and email form.
Also, contact the White House and let President Trump know you support him and to stay the course. Phone Number for Comments: 202-456-1111
The Alcona County Republicans are devoted to educating the public through civil discourse and we support Trump. We are for the Constitution, limited government, and freedom.

STATEWIDE MICHIGAN PROPOSALS - Full text is on our 2nd page.
18-1 – Proposed law to legalize possession, use and cultivation of marijuana by individuals 21 or older and commercial sales of marijuana through state licensed retailers.
●This 14 page law is complex and confusing. It will be harmful to our communities. Any taxes collected will go to welfare as seen in Colorado, Oregon and Maine. Plus home growers will be allowed to sell without paying taxes. We all know big tobacco caters to the poor, what do you think big marijuana will do? Learn more here: http://healthyandproductivemi.org/
A NO vote is recommended.
18-2 – Constitutional Amendment to establish a commission of citizens with exclusive authority to adopt district boundaries.
●Called Voters not Politicians (a group paid for by Soros funded foundations), this would create an unelected bureaucracy for the purpose of redistricting. This will cost the taxpayers at least $527,000 in the first year and will not be able to be easily changed as it is an alteration to the Michigan State Constitution.
A NO vote is recommended.
18-3 – Authorize automatic and Election Day voter registration, no reason absentee voting and straight ticket voting and add current legal requirements for military and overseas voting and post election audits to the Michigan Constitution.
●This means that a local clerk has to accept voter registration even on the day of an election = longer lines, increased cost to local municipalities for more staff, proof of citizenship will be very difficult to verify which may lead to more illegals voting in MI.
A NO vote is recommended.
ALCONA COUNTY MILLAGE PROPOSAL
For the purpose of maintaining, operating, rehabilitating and equipping public safety and other properties belonging to the county. $1 per $1,000 of taxable property value for a period of four years.
●Due to the ever increasing needs for public safety in the county of Alcona, to help mitigate future fees and tax increases, and prevent loss of services, a YES vote is recommended.
