 On February 1st 2003, the state party hosted a speaker/buffet breakfast event at the Lord Wakefield Inn, in Wakefield. Principal speaker was Dan Charles, National Chairman of the America First Party. Speakers representing the state party were State Chairman Jon Hill and National Committee Member Tom White.
Mr. Charles spoke at length about the party platform and
responded to issues raised by those present. He pointed out that we are a grassroots organization which is dedicated to making government work for the people again, and stated his
belief that James Madison, who played a major role in drafting the U.S. Constitution, would be at home in the America First Party.
Mr. Hill spoke with a sense of urgency about the
unconstitutional global agenda, and gave some examples of the unconstitutional behavior which characterizes the leadership of most of our elected officials on Capitol Hill. He
also spoke about some of the practical things that need to be done in order to run effective campaigns in 2004, and gave examples of successful grassroots campaigns. It was pointed
out that individual involvement and membership development is crucial for the success of the party. Mr. White spoke about the need for people to get involved,
irregardless of how much experience a person may or may not have, citing the example of his campaigns. He mentioned that people in the America First movement are people with heart
who are involved because they believe in this cause. It seems that all left favorably impressed, and many with a sense of excitement. We were also pleased that a significant
number of individuals expressed a strong interest for future involvement. The event was proceeded by four different radio appearances on WROL AM 950, which advertised the event and purpose of
the party. These interviews of Dan Charles and Jon Hill were both in-studio and via phone on the Ray Flynn and Chuck Morse shows. The event was organized within a two-week window, and some
did not receive the notice in time to participate. This was largely because it was unknown to us that nonprofit mailings can take two or more weeks! For those who were not able to
participate because of this glitch, we apologize, and hope that you were able to attend the next event. |
