Whitley County Patriots

Our March meeting was held at the Columbia City American Legion, 430 West Van Buren Street.

Here’s what happened:

• There were approximately 130 people in attendance.  We continue to grow quickly.
• We got started a few minutes late because it took awhile for everyone to register.
• We heard presentations from Dr. Richard Leo, Emery McClendon, and Mindy McAnnelly. They all were informative and inspiring.
• We also heard from Cindy Gamrat, from the Huntington TEA Party, about how that group got started, and how the Tea Party movement is different from a political party.
• Pocket copies of the U. S. Constitution were distributed from the Heritage Foundation.
• The new Whitley County Patriots t-shirts were sold for $10 each.
• Some of our local candidates for public office also were in attendance.

For our next meeting on April 6, we have invited all of the candidates for the 3rd congressional district.
