Warren County Republicans are looking for a few good people
Years ago, I did handyman jobs and saw an ad to fix up a property using sweat equity with other Christians. My new wife and I visited and met a young man outside an apartment. He said he with other Christians were trying to fix the place, but he told me that these Christians were always praying and singing but not doing the work. His last comment was, “They are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good.”
Romans 13 talks about submitting to authorities. The Constitution is the Law of our Land, and people are the governing authorities: not a Roman Dictator. We, the people, are to meet out good to those who do good and wrath to those who do wrong. Nature abhors a vacuum, though; if good people do not run for office, then evil people or those easily swayed will. And that’s what happened.
It is easier to work at your job, raise children and hope others run for elected office and do what is right. But it is now apparent that around the country and in Virginia people who believe in Marxist ideology, CRT and who hate our Founding Fathers have been elected and turned what use to be evil and call it good.
People in Virginia woke up, elected Younkin, and took over the House of Delegates. But you would be mistaken if you thought that put the stake into CRT and WOK ideology in our schools.
Warren County only has one true conservative School Board member (Melanie Salins), and she gets outvoted on principled issues. We need two more conservative members on the School Board, and we just happen to have two seats up for election in 2023. If you live in Shenandoah or the South River District, please consider running for the School Board. Anyone can run.
If you are a conservative and decide to run, come talk to the Warren County Republican Committee. Once WCRC has committed to a person, that person does not have to campaign: the WCRC will do that for them. The person just has to commit to fighting for conservative values and parental rights in the schools.
Don’t leave the work to others and become so heavenly-minded that you are no earthly good.
