In anticipation of the first foreign policy-focused GOP debate on Tuesday, November 15th, DCYR’s are pleased to host Congressman Louie Gohmert (TX-01) at our November meeting on Monday, November 14th. Congressman Gohmert will join us to speak on President Obama’s foreign policy agenda with particular commentary on the Administration’s handling of Middle East Policy and the implications for 2012.

An Army veteran, Vice Chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security, and student of Middle East politics, Congressman Gohmert brings a unique perspective to the topic. We will also take this opportunity to honor Congressman Gohmert as a U.S. Army Veteran, in observance of Veterans Day, November 11.

As always, cash bar and business casual dress.

DCYRs Valor Flight of Tennessee Valley – November 12th

by admin under Events, Uncategorized

DCYR’s are proud to partner with Valor Flight, the same fine folks who started the WWII veteran-focused Honor Flight. Valor Flight will bring Korean War veterans to DC on Saturday, November 12th to visit their Memorial and other area monuments, and they need volunteer ‘guardians’ to escort for the day. This is your chance to honor these veterans and be a part of an unforgettable experience!

A rough schedule of the day 10:30am – 5:00pm:

Volunteer Guardians will meet the veterans at Reagan National Airport when their flight arrives Saturday, November 12th at 10:50 am. From there, we will board buses to visit the Korean War Memorial and World War II Memorial. We will then travel to the Women’s Memorial in Arlington to have lunch, before viewing the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The day will end back at Reagan National Airport where we say goodbye to the veterans.

Anyone interested should complete this form: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHJtN3lubWtlREZ2dllld3lIcjJVX3c6MQ ASAP.

FINAL West Virginia Phone Bank – Tuesday, 10/4

by editor under Deployments, Elections, Events

Tomorrow, Tuesday, 10/4, we will be in the RNC basement phone calling for West Virginia’s gubernatorial race. They need us to help Get Out The Vote!

Please email francesca.a.chambers@gmail.com with any questions.

In a matter of weeks this race has moved from Safe Blue to Toss-Up. With election day looming tomorrow, October 4th, the RNC needs your help tonight and tomorrow to turn out those crucial red votes!

The West Virginia Gubernatorial Race is a toss up. The Wall Street Journal calls it “an election widely viewed as the most competitive of the four statewide contests this fall.” http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203405504576601152675626020.html

10 DCYRs travelled to WV this past Sunday (read more from Rachel Hoff in her new post for the www.GOPRockstars.com blog): “A new poll out this morning shows Maloney down by just one point. But West Virginia remains a largely Democrat state, with Democrats enjoying a two-to-one registration advantage over Republicans.” http://goprockstars.com/dcyrs-rock-west-virginia/
