\"\"RBW Class of ’61 challenges other classes<\/strong> and True Leadership<\/strong>
\nRecently the class of 1961 held a reunion and passed a bucket around and collected over $1000.00 for the RBW auditorium restoration project.
\nWe would like to challenge other Rodney B. Wilson High School classes to match or exceed our leadership.
\nWe would like to announce our accomplishment and challenge other classes to outdo us.
\nI’m sure that Bill Tennant has a list of contributions by other classes.
\nMy goal here is to create a contest in which RBW and our community both come out the winners.

Starving for “true leadership”<\/strong>
\nA recent poll found, for the first time, 52% of Republicans are now deeply dissatisfied with their own Republican Party and many have lost all confidence with the so-called “Republican” leadership. Far too many self professed Republicans are affiliated with the party in name only and regularly betray the very core principles upon which the Grand Old Party was founded.
\nTrue Republicans strongly believe in and live the very principles and values that have made America the envy of the world. We strongly believe in constitutional government, true fiscal responsibility, a non-intrusive government (the smaller the government’s role in our lives the better), individual freedoms and liberties and taking direct responsibility for our own lives and helping the ones we love and care for. We believe in strong family values and that marriage is a union ordained by God between one man and one woman. And we are proud to stand up for every American’s baby’s right to life.
\nThe Republican Party can only survive and regain voter credibility if it once again returns to these same core values that all decent Americans believe in. We absolutely will not survive as a nation if we don’t stand up for these principles and we all know darn well the left wing Democrats sure aren’t going to do it. That leaves us with only one choice. We must only vote in candidates who are truly Republican in every facet of their personal, professional and political lives.
\nFor the sake of our Country, children and grandchildren I pray our Republican leaders will immediately come to the realization that bowing down to the special interest groups and the back room cigar smoking power brokers is not in their best interest nor the long range best interest of our nation.
\nWe are individually better than that, and so our Republican leadership must live up to our ideals and standards as well. It is truly time to start cleaning The House and The Senate
\nMay God forever Bless the GOP and the USA!
