<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The 2010 elections proved to be an awakening for the electorate and the 2012 elections are possibly more important to the future of our State and Country than the election we just had. With your help our local party was able to:<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &bull; Host a first-class Lincoln Day Dinner, with four Gubernatorial Candidates, including Governor-Elect Rick Snyder.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &bull; Host our second annual summer BBQ and Fall-Fest Fundraiser.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &bull; Raise over $11,000 for our county party through our club sponsorship program and over $20,000 for the election cycle!<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &bull; Write max-out checks to our local candidates and organize walk days for them<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &bull; Retain our 7th County Commission seat and take back the 6th County Commission seat, making our county board 100% Republican again!<br />
<br />

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It is important that we continue our efforts to elect people who will represent the interests of Clinton County&rsquo;s residents. One of our important efforts, to accomplish those ends, is to offer the opportunity to be &ldquo;Club Sponsors&rdquo; of the CCRP. Your continued support will allow us to continue our efforts by:<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. Helping us cover the initial costs for fundraising events during 2011.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2. Providing financial support for Clinton County candidates (Countywide and Township) who will run in contested races in 2012. <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3. Maintainance of the Clinton County Republican Website (www.clinton-countygop.org).<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4. Helping us to have an outreach to fellow conservatives and independents who believe in our goals and political philosophy.<br />
