McIntosh County GOP
By LYNELLE MEDLEY CHAIRMAN

Hello McIntosh County Residents — it’s been a busy few weeks! I want to commend each of you who have stood up against the tyranny behind the wind turbines. As I continue to do additional research, I become more alarmed with each video I watch or article I read. You are right to stand up for our children, our lands, our livestock, our cozy tourist town, and our way of life that is so important to each of us. McIntosh County GOP is honored to stand with you.

We have a great meeting lined out for this Thursday, Nov. 21, at the Eufaula VFW and we are excited that Pittsburg County GOP is joining us this month. We have a panel of speakers ready to share their knowledge and experiences with you and hopefully a few potential solutions as well.

Please note, this meeting will not be an open forum for anyone, regardless of position, however, there will be a Q&A session at the end with all the speakers.

We will kick off the festivities at 6 p.m. with our optional $5 chili dinner (while supplies last) and our speakers will begin shortly after 6 p.m.

Children are welcome, families are welcome, your neighbors/ friends are welcome – we welcome all who wish to attend.

There will be some free light refreshments, though we don’t expect them to last long!

Also, this will be one of your very last opportunities to get tickets for our AR giveaway we will be drawing our lucky winner on Dec. 7 at the SantaLand Bazaar. They are $5 each or five tickets for only $20. If you cannot make the meeting, please reach out to us and we will find someone to help you.

Also, please remember we have our Christmas party scheduled for Dec. 12 and hope many of you will join us as we celebrate the end of 2024, the beginning of 2025, and of course, our Savior’s birth.

We have much to be thankful for this season, please come and share laughter and memories with us.

More details to come but please save the date!

If you have any questions or wish additional information, you can always find us under McIntosh County GOP On Fire! on Facebook or you can text us at 918617-6124.

We appreciate each of you, we thank you for supporting us as well as for joining us whenever you are able.

Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday.
