But what can I do?
Get educated. Become involved.
If you made a New Year’s Resolution to become more politically aware and involved then Gwinnett is the place for you. There are a number of excellent active Conservative organizations throughout the County. Here are some of the leaders.
Gwinnett Republican Party
Certainly one of the largest conservative groups in the County, the Gwinnett Republican Party is an organization of dedicated citizens focused on advancing conservative principles and electing Republican candidates to office. “This is one of the most important election years in our lives,” said Gwinnett GOP Chairman Chuck Efstration. “We have a targeted campaign strategy for 2010 to ensure that every volunteer hour given or dollar donated to the Gwinnett GOP will have a direct impact in our local elections.”
Probably the best way to learn about the group is to visit one of their Saturday morning breakfast meetings. Each month they have different key policy makers from the County, State or even the Federal government giving updates and answering questions. These meetings are very visitor friendly, very well attended, and are your chance to meet all the people you read about in the paper.
