Jim Skinner, Collin County Sheriff elect. A 24 year law enforcement veteran,
Jim will be addressing the concern of increasing active shooter events. He will

defend themselves and their families if confronted by a gunman. This is
another meeting you will not want to miss, so bring a friend and join us!
SHOUT OUT!! SHOUT OUT!! SHOUT OUT!!
RWGNT wants to send a special Shout Out to our very own members
Cindy Asche, Terri Green, Shona Huffman, and Pam Little who are running
for council positions in their respective cities, We are SO very proud of you
ladies and all of the hard work you have put into your campaigns. Way to step
up and respond to the call of service and leadership. You have many young
women looking up to you. Thank you for setting the example.
*RWGNT cannot endorse candidates, but we do encourage you to do your
research and VOTE! Click on the candidates names above to take you to

It’s spring! And you know what that means… April reflections bring May elections! Okay, I’m
corny but how often can you say you voted twice and it was completely legal to do so?!
Municipal elections are so important. Taxation, regulation, and most of the laws that affect us
day to day, are made at the local level by our City Council and School Boards. You wouldn’t buy
a car without looking under the hood, why would you vote without knowing who or what you’re
voting for? Early voting for the municipal election runs through May 3rd; Election Day is
Saturday, May 7th. If you have questions about a candidate, contact one of our Board members. We would be
delighted to help you.
The February statewide election triggered a few run-off races which will also be held in May. Run-offs are
incredibly important because the number of voters drastically decreases and only a very few people actually
determine who will hold those statewide offices. YOU should be one of those people! Early voting for the Run-Off
is May 16-20; Election Day is Tuesday, May 24th.
If you really want to have some fun, the Texas GOP Convention will be held in Dallas, May 12-14. Anyone can
register as a visitor and I would encourage you to do so! This is a great opportunity to experience the convention
right in your own backyard. www.texasgop.org
Thank you for the honor of serving you,

Will You Vote for Trump if He is Our Nominee?
A lot of people have brought up the fact that they won't vote for Trump if he is the eventual nominee. I just want to put something in perspective. Justice Scalia's seat is vacant. Ginsberg is 82 years old, Kennedy is 79, Breyer is 77, and Thomas is 67. Nowadays, the data shows that the average age of a Supreme Court retirement or death occurs after 75. These are 5 vacancies that will likely come up over the next 4-8 years. The next President will have the power to potentially create a 7-2 Supreme Court skewed in their ideology. Think about that... 7-2. If the next President appoints 5 young justices, it will guarantee control of the Supreme Court for an entire generation. And 7-2 decisions will hold up much more over time than 5-4 decisions which are seemed to be lacking in mandate. Hillary has made it clear she will use the Supreme Court to go after the 2nd Amendment. She has literally said that the Supreme Court was wrong in its Heller decision stating that the Court should overturn and remove the individual right to keep and bear arms. Period. Everyone saying that they won't vote for one candidate or the other if they are the GOP nominee, please realize this. If Hillary Clinton wins and gets to make these appointments, you likely will never see another Conservative victory at the Supreme Court level for the rest of your life. Ever. If you are a Conservative, a vote for anyone but the GOP nominee, whomever that will be, is a vote for Hillary Clinton. That is how Obama got into office - people staying home because they couldn't in good con-science' vote for Romney - If you did that, you helped Obama get elected. Submitted by Gail Abbott.
