McIntosh County GOP News
By LYNELLE MEDLEY CHAIRMAN

McIntosh County GOP is preparing for our first meeting back after the summer — Oct 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the VFW in Eufaula. We have a great lineup for you starting with an OCPA speaker talking about the judges that will be on the ballot.

Our featured speaker will be a man who grew up in a communist country and he wishes to share with you what he has experienced and what he is seeing in America today. In November, we will have a speaker who is passionate about private property rights.

This Saturday, Oct. 5, McIntosh GOP is joining forces with Haskell County GOP and Pittsburg GOP to host a multi county Trump Drive. If you would like to join us, please do! We will be meeting at the Checotah Sports Complex at 1:30 p.m., Longtown at 2:15 p.m., Crowder Point Campground at 2:15 p.m., and Posey Park in Eufaula at 3 p.m. Look for the flags!

Each drive will last about a half hour or less and we do have a few more that will be meeting at rally points in Stigler as well as McAlester for anyone who is interested.

The final drive will be in Eufaula when all routes converge at Posey Park at 3pm. It should be a lot of fun so we hope the community will join us! Flag up, honk your horn, play patriotic music, or just honk your horn as we show support for former President Donald J. Trump.

Please email us at McIntoshGOP@gmail.com or text at 918.617.6124 for more information. Hope to see you at one of the Trump drives or the next meeting….or both.
