Republican Party of Pitt County News

A Message for the New Year

We made a difference in 2010, electing a Republican majority in North Carolina for the first time in 140 years; and they changed the landscape in Raleigh. As a result of the 2010 elections, a group of Conservative Republicans went to Washington, and they faced some awesome challenges, unfortunately, to often, from other Republicans. What will this year bring, that is the question. There are some huge concerns, like who is going to lead North Carolina, and who will our leaders be in Washington DC. There have been some major disappointments, because many who seemed to be the right choices as leaders were not. And there were those who we already knew were not the right choices, but there were no alternatives presented. The Republican Party must remember the principles and values that it stands for to change hearts and minds. We are at a precipice in time and the choice of where we go in 2012 will be with us for many years. The question is, will it be the pain of lost opportunities or a bright shinning future of good and just changes for all. The Founding Fathers showed us how. There is always room for differences and passionate debate with respect and courtesy. However, much of this has been lost over the years and mean spiritedness and lack of respect has often been displayed instead. The founding Fathers also relied upon God for wisdom and guidance in the challenges they faced and this too has lost ground over the years. Unfortunately, common sense has also been elusive if not often gone completely. There stands a mystifying question, how did we get to this point. If we do not covet the truth then believing a lie is the alternative. Are we willing to hear the truth, no matter how much it pains us, and act upon it? The answer, first is prayer, as our Founding Fathers taught us, ask God for wisdom and guidance. We then seek truth, and listen and support those who speak truth even if it is not what we want to hear. Please get involved in shaping the future of our state and country, don't let others be the decision makers and be left with the regret of what could have been if we had just put forth more effort.
