This weekend was the Arkansas Federation of Republican Women's biannual meeting. This is the first time I've attended an AFRW meeting. There were women from all over the state. A lot of the meeting seemed to be just socializing, but we did manage to get some business done. Roger's Mayor Steve Womack hosted our Friday night reception and spoke about how the principles of the Republican Party was at work in making Rogers an exceptional and highly successful city.
Congressman John Boozman showed up on Saturday. I did manage to briefly ask him to look into the new Army rules which could kill milblogs. Mike Huckabee called into one meeting. He discussed the changing positions on critical issues by some of the other candidates. He said that if they changed once then they may change again. On the debate, he complained that he came to debate the other candidates not Chris Mathews. Congressman Duncan Hunter also called in and had an opportunity to discuss his issues; national security, illegal immigration and the loss of America's industrial factories. I was really impressed by the women present. Most of have been working in the Republican Party for years. As Jim Lagrone acknowledged, the backbone of the Republican Party is the Republican Women.
