Troop Greeters Project Underway

The local 278th will be leaving form the armory in Greeneville Sunday morning, December 6th, at 9:50 AM. The Hawkins County Republican Party Coalition will be leaving from the Super Dollar parking lot on Hwy 66 at 8 AM. We have posters already printed showing our support of the troops. Following the send off, anyone that wants to will go to breakfast before coming back to Rogersville. Although this is on a Sunday, we feel like this is something that we can do for God and our country. For contact information, call Cecile at 921-8040 or Lisa at 272-7108.

Haslam Visits Hawkins County Republicans

A record breaking crowd of Republicans met at the Hawkins Elementary School Monday evening, November 9th to hear keynote speaker Bill Haslam, Mayor of Knoxville and candidate for governor, who was introduced by Heiskell Winstead. Mayor Haslam told the attendees why he was a Republican and why he thinks he should be the next governor of Tennessee.

Chairman Cecile Testerman and Judge James "Jay" Taylor introduced the Hawkins County GOP's new community service project which is Troop Greeters which will consist of people that will go to the airports and welcome home the servicemen and women. County Commissioner, Virgil Mallett was recognized for his many years of loyalty and service to the Hawkins County Republican Party.

Meet Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey Thursday

RON RAMSEY wants a promotion from Lt. Governor to Governor. He engineered the Republican takeover of the State Senate. He's the National Chairman of the Lt. Governor's Association. And he's our neighbor - a lifelong resident of Blountville.

Ron Ramsey was instrumental in the election of our own Mike Faulk to the State Senate. He made Faulk the Chairman of the powerful Senate Calendar Committee in his first year in the General Assembly.

Come meet and greet the Lt. Governor in Rogersville on Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 6pm at Hawkins Elementary School. This is a location change from the previous venue of Price Public School.

Ron Ramsey currently holds the second highest position in State government. If he wins the GOP primary next August, he will likely become Governor. If he doesn't, he'll still be Lt. Governor and very, very important to the future of Hawkins County.
