U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., coming to Rockingham County. Join us for this great breakfast event.

One of the nation’s leading GOP voices is joining us for an upcoming breakfast event here in Rockingham County. Please join us for this great event with Sen. Cotton. The details:

What: Breakfast event with Sen. Tom Cotton

When: Saturday, July 17th from 9 to 10 a.m.

Where: Atkinson Resort & Country Club.

Get your tickets by clicking here. Here are the ticket details:

   – General admission breakfast ticket, $35
   – Pre-event close-up and photo op with Sen. Cotton, $65; and
   – Sponsorship (includes two tickets, all of the above, signage and promotion), $500.
Sen. Cotton has been one of the GOP’s strongest voices when it comes to challenging the Biden Agenda and the source of the Covid 19 pandemic. The mainstream media – after belittling Sen. Cotton for a year – is even starting to come around about questions surrounding whether Covid originated in a lab in China. Sen. Cotton has continued to challenge Dr. Fauci and push for the truth while supporting Israel, pushing against critical race theory, and fighting for Republican ideals.
About Sen. Cotton:
Senator Tom Cotton is a United States Senator from Arkansas. He serves on the Armed Services, Judiciary, and Intelligence Committees.
He is a 6th generation Arkansan who was born and raised on his family’s cattle farm in Yell County. He graduated from Dardanelle High School before graduating from Harvard and Harvard Law School.
The September 11 terror attack occurred during Tom’s final year of law school, leading Tom to decide to join the military. After clerking and a short time in private practice, Tom joined the Army as an Infantry Officer with the 101st Airborne. He served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and in the Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetery.
In 2012, Tom was elected to the House of Representatives and won a Democratic-held seat by 23 points. In 2014, Congressman Cotton defeated an incumbent Democratic Senator by 17 points. In 2020, Senator Cotton was re-elected by a 2-1 margin, with only a third-party opponent after his Democratic opponent quit the race.
Senator Cotton has been a leader on national security issues in the Senate. Some of his legislative accomplishments include: ending the Obamacare mandate tax as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; helping pass a bill to create a Veterans Administration Office of Accountability and Whistleblower Protection; securing funding for the military; and helping pass legislation to increase competition for prescription drugs.
Tom and his wife Anna have two sons.

Critical race theory and efforts to keep it out of our schools

Join us on Thursday, May 27th for a special presentation by Sloan Rachmuth of Education First Alliance for a discussion about critical race theory. This is the 8th session in our ongoing Speaker Series.

Sloan will share with us what we need to look for within our schools, how we should be combating indoctrination, and steps we can use to fight for equal rights.
“Racial discrimination and critical race theory matter, not just because they erode the fabric of this nation, or threaten our freedom, they matter because they fly in the face of the belief that every person, every child, is just as important as the next.”
Sloan is making a tremendous impact on legislation in North Carolina and in many other areas. She has been a guest on Steve Bannon and other shows.
The details:
What: Speaker Session No. 8 with Sloan Rachmuth of Education First Alliance.
When: Thursday, May 27th at 7 p.m.
Where: Via Zoom
Registration: Preregistration is required, so please register well in advance at this link, and watch for a return confirmation link in your email to access the meeting.

About Sloan:

Sloan is an entrepreneur-turned- journalist & activist  passionate about defending the political and educational  rights of all Americans. She has spent the past 6 years evangelizing a direct and determined approach to fighting bigotry and has helped parents and students stand up to school administrators aiming to take away their personal liberties.​

Throughout her career in the media, Sloan has gone after anti-Semites in schools and in politics; she has exposed the financial roots of violent Antifa mobs who have destroyed lives and small businesses; she has spotlighted the funders of the Defund the Police movement, and she has been consistently revealing the damaging effects of ‘anti-racist’ Critical Race Theory in our K-12 classrooms. Sloan is a contributor at the Federalist, The National Pulse, The American Conservative, and Law Enforcement Today.

Sloan received her undergraduate degree in Psychology from Harvard University in 2007 – while she was in her 30s! Way before that, she dropped out of high school after her Sophomore year due to the instability that bouncing around foster homes in North Carolina and in Florida brought into her life.

​Sloan’s non-traditional educational background, and her experience fighting for her own children’s civil liberties, has prepared her to fight for the rights of families from all backgrounds in North Carolina public schools.
