Farragut Republican Club Holds February Meeting

Lloyd Daughtery, radio talk show host, Chairman of the Tennessee Conservative Union, and political consultant spoke to the Farragut Republican Club on 2-14-08. Lloyd told the group he was hoping to see the Republicans return to their conservative roots. He defined being conservative as:

1. Sovereignty—keeping control of our borders by knowing who is coming in and who is going out. 2. Returning to the Constitution as our guide. 3. Giving citizens liberty—which also means freedom to fail. 4. Keeping taxes as low as possible and cutting spending, and 5. Remembering that individuals matter, and, 6. Keeping a strong military, and being patriotic.

Foster Arnett, Richard Briggs, Sherry Witt, and Phil Ballard, four of the candidates who recently won their races, were on hand to thank the group for their support and votes. Bill Johns is the president of the club which meets at the Gondolier Italian Pizzeria on West End Road in Farragut.
