Fellow Florence County Conservatives,

I wish each of you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! That's right. I said Merry Christmas! It may be a national holiday, but it's called Christmas.

As we enter into this wonderful time of the year, I ask all of you to remember the reason for the season. Yes, we celebrate by spending a lot of money on gifts and gorging ourselves on wonderful food. Yes, we share more one-on-one time with our families than we normally do in a week. And we share many old family stories reminding us of our past.

America has many people who worship many different religions. That is their right under the Constitution of the United States of America. However, do not think for a minute that we are anything other than a Christian Nation. Our forefathers made this clear and our current "leaders" need to make it clear nothing has changed.

The officers of the Florence County Republican Party extend an invitation to you to join us as we celebrate this wonderful season. We want to take this time to say

"THANK YOU!" for the work and dedication to the Florence GOP and Florence County.

Please join us for on December 12, 2011 at 6:30PM. We will gather at 2657 Ascot, Florence.

Hope to see you there.

Yours in service,

Bill
