It Just Keeps Getting Earlier and Earlier

A Presidential Straw Poll in April, 18 months before the election? You've got to get up pretty early in the election to make it to the White House these days. The Norfolk County Republicans are holding their third annual dinner at the Quincy Marriott on Wed, April 18, 2007, 6:00 PM. It's an event you won't want to Mitt. Or perhaps you think it's a McCain in the neck. In either case, I think it's terrific to have people expressing an interest in elected offices whenever it occurs. The location is right next door to Milton and at $75 bucks, the price is right for a nice dinner. If you want to attend, you can contact me at rghiss@yahoo.com for details.

Web 2.0 meets G.O.P.

Dateline March 20, 2007.
Who says you can't teach an old elephant new tricks? This past Tuesday, at our regularly scheduled Republican Town Committee meeting (RTC), we were paid a visit by Rob Willington, the political director of the MA Republican Party. Rob stopped by us first on his way to meeting all the RTCs in the Commonwealth. At the request of our new state chair, Peter Torkildsen, his purpose was to introduce himself (which he did), demonstrate to us some of the technology that is available to help local towns (which he demo'd) and to request that we adopt some of them, such as launching a blog (which we did). Of course you know that or you wouldn't be here.

We resolved (think of it as the Norfolk Resolves) to use this forum to explain to the citizens of Milton the work we will do on behalf of our town, our issues and our candidates. Let the word go forth from this time and place...sorry, wrong blog.
