It Could Be the Biggest Night in the History of Hawkins County Politics!

The response to the announcement of Hawkins County's Lincoln Day Dinner is astounding. The buzz is simply electric. If you don't get your ticket soon, it may be too late. A sell-out crowd is likely.

Maybe the excitement is because the keynote speaker, Sen. Bob Corker, is the only new Republican elected to the 2006 freshman class in the United States Senate. Maybe it's because Corker will share with GOP Presidential nominee John McCain his formula for defeating articulate young Democrats who have a "rockstar" aura but far-left leaning tendencies.

Maybe it's because assembled in the same room will be the only two Republicans in modern history to lead the State Senate, Ron Ramsey, and the State House, Bill Jenkins.

Maybe it's because a contested GOP Primary is shaping up for the 1st Congressional District of Tennessee between David Davis and Phil Roe.

Or, maybe it's because Hawkins County's own Mike Faulk will make his formal declaration of his candidacy for the State Senate and share with us all his Keys to a Better Tennessee.

Whatever the reason, you'll want to be at the Hawkins County Lincoln Day Dinner on Friday, March 28, 2008 at 6pm at the National Guard Armory in Rogersville, Tennessee. Don't miss this exceptional event. Tickets are only $25.00 per person. Call Chuck (423) 923-8125 or Cecile (423) 921-8040 immediately to reserve your seat.

Congressman David Davis Surprise Guest at Greene County Fundraiser for Mike Faulk

1st District Congressman David Davis surprised those attending last night's Faulk for Senate Fundraiser in Greene County making an appearance and an appeal for Faulk's campaign to retake the 4th State Senate seat currently held by the Senate's only independent.

"I've known Mike for years and have watched his tireless work on behalf of Republicans at all levels. When he gets to Nashville you can count on him supporting Republican ideals and members of his own party seeking leadership positions," said the Congressman.

Faulk told the crowd that sometime in early 2011, during the term of the next Senator from the 4th District, a bill will be introduced to redraw all the State House, State Senate, and U. S. Congressional Districts in Tennessee. If projections hold up, Tennessee may be entitled to another seat [making 10] in the U. S. Congress. "Republicans have to ask themselves this question: 'In whose hand do you want that redistricting pen?"
