Chairman's Corner:

The 2010 election is behind us, and what a great turnout in Coles County! Thank you to all the voters who heard our message this election cycle and turned out in support of our candidates.

The Grand Ole Party did very well in the heartland of Illinois, and Coles County was no exception. Our voters included conservative leaning independents and Democrats who saw the state and country heading in the wrong direction. Now Republicans must vow to be true to conservative values and in turn, the future will be brighter for us all.

Soon we will be gearing up for the 2012 Presidential election cycle. Republicans must get out the message that we are the only party able to restore America to the grand vision of the founding fathers of this great nation. That vision included a limited federal government. Obviously, we have a long way to go in reducing the intrusion into our lives that Obama and his crew have forced on each of us.

We invite everyone to join us in the cause of defending the Constitution and the great values which made America the greatest nation in the world. May God bless you and yours.

Chairman John Hurst
