County GOP News
By LYNELLE MEDLEY CHAIRMAN

McIntosh County GOP wants to thank all those who attended our Christmas party, we had a lot of fun, and we were excited to see a few new faces.

Our next meeting will be on Jan. 23 (note they are now on the fourth Thursday) at 6:30 p.m. I will give more details as it gets closer, but please save the date.

We will announce our AR giveaway winner next week, but I think he’s a happy camper — I know we were happy to be able to make it possible!

Currently we are busy with assisting the Freedom Brigades troops with their Rally at the Oklahoma State Capitol in a number of ways.

For starters, we are looking into hosting a virtual training zoom for all who would like to have some pointers on how to maximize their time and multiply their voice while at the “Rally at the Capitol.”

If you are interested in attending the rally, driving a multi passenger vehicle or bus to transport people (anywhere in the state), please let us know by contacting the Freedom Brigades on their brand new “Freedom Brigades No Wind Turbines Oklahoma” group on Facebook.

Please join the group for complete rally details, up to the minute updates and potential carpooling opportunities.

We are also hearing that we will have a number of members of the press so if you have any contacts in that regard, please let them know they are welcome.

See you again soon and hoping all our Mc-Intosh County families had a wonderful Christmas and together we will look forward to the New Year. We’re all in this together!
