NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER and Cinco de Mayo!
Praise GOD for the Greatest Country on the Planet Earth and BIG SHOUT OUT to our Mexican friends on Cinco de Mayo yesterday! There’s a place in Phoenix called “Chino Bandido” we like to go to that is a blend of Chinese-Mexican Take Out! LOOK IT UP!! LEGENDARY!!!
Why does it always seem that trouble is only coming from ONE SIDE? To this day I still don’t understand it, but we at HOKE GOP guarantee you it will not come from US! Our folks are courteous, polite, and want FREE and FAIR Elections, but in the past and recently, there seem to be some major problems out there! Look at our folks and do your homework! We have New Ideas, New Directions with New Leaders of all ages, races, and nationalities! Just look around!
GOD BLESS HOKE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
GOP News
Everyone GO VOTE!!
Learned this week that everyone “outside” of politics seems to know exactly what to do “inside” politics! No matter what you believe, EVERYONE SHOULD VOTE!!! In Hoke County, we have approximately 53,000 people of which roughly 32,000 are registered voters, and as of yesterday May 5 (after 7 days of voting), we only have about 1,000 people voting. In simpler terms…….
People: 53,000
Registered To Vote: 32,000
Voted in a week: 1,000
——- NOT GOOD ————– WE CAN DO BETTER ———————-
We have until May 14 to EARLY VOTE, Register (yes you can register during early voting) to Vote, and SWITCH to Republican!!
If you are Unaffiliated, Request a Republican Ballot, and PLEASE VOTE! (Sample Ballot Attached)
Reporting Issues at the Polls
There is a Procedure if you see something that seems wrong, out of line, or is not legal, the person who witnesses it needs to report it! If you feel harassed, intimidated, or threatened in any way, GET A HOLD OF US, and we will show you how to report it! (No, seeing something and telling us is not reporting it. You must file a report, and it can be done through email or online) ASK US !
Rockfish Candidate Meet & Greet
