AMRC's Dick Hersum and Warren Norquist spoke to a lively gathering of the Framingham Republican Town Committee on April 23.  A number of topics were discussed starting with the political situation in Massachusetts today. Hersum and Norquist continued with a how-to talk on growing a Town Committee in the current climate including how "new media" Internet related technologies fit into the mix.

Norquist also had the opportunity to discuss his son Grover's latest book, "Leave Us Alone: Getting the Government's Hands Off Our Money, Our Guns, Our Lives."  The younger Norquist is president of Americans for Tax Reform, a taxpayer advocacy group he founded in 1985 at President Reagan's request.

AMRC's participation at the meeting was part of their statewide "AMRC Out and About" effort to build grass-roots support for the Republican party, ideas, and candidates. Republican Town and City Committees who are interested in having AMRC board members speak at an event should contact AMRC President Dick Hersum c/o AAI Agency at 781-891-1227.

AMRC board members Chip Faulkner and Sandi Martinez showed their Revolutionary
spirt by dumping tea at the Lowell Tea Party in protest to ever expanding taxation
and government incursion into private affairs. The Lowell Tea Party was part of a
larger Tax Day Tea Party consisting of over 800 grassroots protests across the
nation on April 15. The demonstrations drew more than a 1/4 million supporters.

Quoted

I think we've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation.
Margaret Thatcher, talking to Women's Own magazine, October 31 1987
