On July 15th, TWYR embarked upon a very aggressive fundraising campaign. Our goal is simple: to win Durham! In 2011, Mayor Bell's term expires. Let's put a Republican in that seat! In 2011, three at-large city council positions are on the ballot. Let's put Republicans in those seats! And in order to win those races next year, we have to build some momentum this year. We will do that by first succeeding in our current fundraising campaign. When we are successful in this campaign, we will be successful in getting Roy Taylor elected as Sheriff and Jason Chambers elected to the NC House.
With hard work on our part, and financial support on your part, we can do this!
The Triangle West Young Republicans are dedicated to supporting Republicans in local, state, and national races. Your financial support will allow TWYR to increase its outreach to new voters, engage young Republicans in the political process, and host events in Chatham, Durham, and Orange Counties.
A note of thanks to our financial supporters.
Dear TWYR contributors,
Thank you for your pledges. ... Thank you for all of your kind words. The kind remarks and encouragement from folks like yourself are the only compensation that I receive for my efforts ... so they mean a lot to me.
We (TWYR) are trying to turn the tides in Durham and be effective. We are not waiting around for the DCGOP. We're going to take the Bull (sorry, I couldn't resist the pun) by the horns and turn this ship around!
And we need your help. So thank you for agreeing to contribute $150. Do you think you could reach out to your friends and ask them to do likewise?
As for thinking big, ultimately Fozard is right. I don't want you to give $150 to a cause that is ineffective. And in order to be effective, we need the resources. So we have to think big, because small won't be enough. ... We also have to remember that the NC GOP has largely written off Durham. While I understand why they have done that (and would probably do the same if I were in their shoes), I'm not giving up. We are simply not going to see anything different in Durham unless we pull ourselves up.
With your help, we can do it!
Thanks again, and please do consider reaching out to your friends (even if they don't live in Durham) and asking them to support our efforts as well.
Sincerely,
Theodore Hicks
Chairman
Triangle West Young Republicans
PS TWYR is well aware of the fact that we serve Chatham, Durham and Orange Counties. As we grow, we will expand our efforts. However, knowing that focus beats brilliance, we are focusing our efforts on Durham right now and will support the Chatham County GOP and Orange County GOP as we are able.
