October 2025

Our 2026 Membership Renewal Drive begins this week! Look for a separate email blast from us that will tell you about special incentives to renew before December 31!

Dear Patriots:

I don’t get it. Why are Democrats continuing to verbally attack Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents? Their incendiary calls to “abolish ICE” and vilify President Trump’s immigration policies are bad enough. They even compare these heroic men and women who are enforcing immigration law to Nazis and horrible villains – targeting individuals and demonizing them. Then they act shocked and surprised (and innocent) when their incendiary language leads some of the “crazies” on the Left to resort to actual physical violence.

• Do they believe that a majority of people in our country want these illegal criminals, cartel and gang members, “the worst of the worst” to remain here?
• Do they purposely want to erode trust in law enforcement?
• Are they determined to spread hostility?
• Do they not care about the families and businesses located in areas where these criminals live and operate?

SURELY – it can’t all be due to Trump Derangement Syndrome. Where anything President Trump says and does must be resisted, even to the detriment of their party and our country.

Moore Republican Women denounces the rhetoric and physical violence emanating from the Democrat party. We love our Blue, and we staunchly support the men and women of I.C.E. and all law enforcement officers who serve honorably. Democrat leaders have chosen to be on the side of lawlessness and criminals. We know that 95% of Americans are with us in denouncing their political violence.

May God bless America,

Charli

Our own Sandi Carl received the prestigious American Patriot Award for North Carolina. We think you'll all agree that she deserves this recognition - just take a look at the nomination we sent in for her lifetime of love, action and caring for veterans, soldiers and the military.

See her amazing accomplishments!

Congratulations, Sandi!
