County GOP news
By LYNELLE MEDLEY CHAIRMAN

McIntosh GOP has been busy planning ahead for our fall meetings and the lineup is looking great. In October we will hear from a representative of OCPA about the judges up for retention this election cycle. If you would like to reference some of this information prior to the meeting on Oct. 17 at the VFW, please visit OklaJudges.com.

We will also be hearing from a world-renowned athlete and leader of his community regarding his upbringing under communism and his concerns about what he sees happening in America today.

Oct. 5 we will be hosting and leading a FOUR COUNTY TRUMP drive from Muskogee, Warner, Checotah, Stigler, and McAlester which will culminate in Eufaula for a short Trump rally and drive around town. If you want to flag up and join us, please do! Even if you don’t have flags, you are still welcome to join us and honk your horn.

Please email McIntoshGOP@ gmail.com or text us at 918-617-6124 for more information or the complete schedule. It will start at approximately 2 p.m. (in the outlying communities) and be finished around 4 p.m.

November has lots of surprises as well, including a speaker who will talk to us extensively about property rights and the myriad of ways that the federal government is seeking to rob us of our property rights. All you ranchers and farmers will want to plan to attend this meeting. We will give more details when it gets closer, but it will be at the VFW on Nov. 21 at 6:30 p.m.

Don’t forget we are giving away an AR-15 in December — you can message us on FB or at the above number or email if you are interested in buying tickets. We have members positioned throughout the county and hopefully even in your precinct if you need some. They are reasonably priced at $5 each or FIVE tickets for only $20! Hope all of you have enjoyed your summer gardens, vacations, and the grandbabies. We hope to see you very soon, the break has been nice, but we’ve missed you!
