A Letter To The Editor By Rhino Reader Lynn Andrew
What Can You Do Now?
Last’s weeks’ court decision produced a chorus of “What Can I Do About This?” among many of those I know. In response, I wanted to share some tangible actions that are readily available in this situation.
- Attend local GOP meetings and events – Guilford.nc.gop
- Join one of the many county GOP clubs
- Volunteer at the local GOP office
- Volunteer for a Candidate
- Register Voters
- Vote
- Work at the polls – they need judges and staff and the GOP needs poll observers
- Donate – to the GOP, a GOP Club or directly to a candidate
- Extend these opportunities to others you know
As you can see, there are many things that can be done. Please do not fall into the trap of spending your time online complaining or watching the news cycle repeatedly. That does not move the needle in a positive direction. If you love this country and the freedoms we have, put some of your time, talent, and money into the cause.

Great letter. Applies if you are Liberal, Conservative or Independent. Get involved, stay informed, and vote. (and for fun, chat it up online with those that disagree with you….)
Right! Use it, or lose it.
Well said Lynn Andrew! Thank you.
Let’s try to fix the problem, not the blame.
If your candidate doesn’t win it’s probably because you didn’t support them.
Are you referring to the jury verdict unanimously convicting Trump of creating illegal, fake business documents to cover up $130,000 he paid to hush his sexual affair with a porn star to alter the 2016 election? “What can I do about this?” You might start by letting your savior who you worship like Jesus to change his behavior, avoid sex with porn stars, quit stealing classified documents he’s not entitled to, commit to abiding by election results, and maybe shy away from inciting riots on our Capitol.
I take it you are a Trump disliker and most likely a Biden supporter. May our Savior have mercy on your lost soul. My grandpa always said be kind to animals and dumb people. So I’ll say nothing bad towards you.
Bretzmann is just using this forum to indulge his Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).
Andrew’s letter does not concern our Presidential candidates, or Trump specifically.
Bretzmann’s just a knee jerk Democrat trying to score points.
As he insults you. Classic denial by a Trumper.
Yeah, kinda like Joe Biden who denied the “laptop from hell” was his sons and signed on by 51 former government officials….all a lie we know now, yeah that was an attempt to subvert the 2020 election isn’t that right? Of course it is Raymond.
Hey Bretzmann Raymond, what Lynn was saying (my interpretation) is to get involved in the political process. Support candidates, volunteer and help out where/when/how you can. If you don’t participate and vote, you have no right to complain about the outcome of elections or actions taken by elected officials. You either fight the wolf (governments) or you are like a lamb being lead to slaughter with higher taxes and reckless spending. Last Monday night the City of High Point just raised property tax by 4.8% (a 3 cent per $100 of evaluation) that will bring in $5.5 M of new property tax revenue. They also increased Water and Sewer rates by 5% starting July 1st. I, and many others wrote letters to the editor and spoke out a council meetings against these increases. I suggested that if HP reduced their spending INCREASE by just 1.25%, they would save $6.5 M. But a majority of council members said no, no, no, we can’t do that. ALL governments suffer from the same problem. Their insatiable appetite to spend money, print it (if they can), put citizens further in debt and raise taxes. ALL government departments scream their funding has been cut if their 5% raise turned out to be a 4% increase. PRESIDENT TRUMP was unjustly accused of a crime he did not commit. Even if he did commit a federal election crime, why didn’t federal lawyers charge him? Answer, the Statue of Limitations had expired. With that FACT, how could a NY local DA charge PRESIDENT TRUMP with a federal crime? Answer: He had no legal authority to do so. There are s-o-o-o many reasons his guilty verdict should be overturned but, we will just have to wait and see if the NY courts are as ‘misguided’ (I really want to say crooked but I don’t want to ruffle their feathers or blow smoke up under their robes) as Alvin Bragg and the local judge. Sleepy Joe says inflation was 9% when he took office. Sorry ole Joe, the correct answer is that inflation was 1.4% under PRESIDENT TRUMP. It only reached 9% two years AFTER you took office. I know ole joey stretches the truth A LOT-but this is one of his tallest tales. VOTE FOR SANITY, VOTE FOR RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP, VOTE FOR LOWER TAXES. VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN IN EVERY SINGLE FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OFFICE.
Trump’s conviction in this case will obviously be overturned, but it will have to get out of New York state first.
No way!!! I’m voting BLUE ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!
As Forrest said “ stupid is as stupid does”
From an article from in the Washington Examiner on Thursday
“Bragg has effectively usurped the jurisdiction that this Congress has explicitly reserved for federal authorities,” Trainor said during a House Judiciary Committee hearing. “This overreach sets a troubling precedent for politicization of legal proceedings at the state level.”
What can you do? Give a lot more money to Trump. The best way is to buy Trump Media stock. The money goes to him and it will make you rich too.
Uh, when you buy stock, the money doesn’t go to Trump. The goes to whoever is selling the stock. Trump was awarded his shares at the time of the acquisition so that is when he made his money. But, if many people buy the stock, it will have a positive upward pressure on the stock and the price will increase so, on paper, that will help Trump. Finance 101.
Side note, the stock price has mostly been trending down given the spend 100s millions a month to only receive thousands in revenue a month with no clear plan to reach profitability. I would personally avoid investing in Trump Media stock but that is just an opinion.
But you be you.

Oh, this is delicious!
Our resident Village Idiot doesn’t even recognize the irony in the prior comment!
Chrissy really is rather stupid. But it’s entertaining to watch him make a fool of himself in public.
Hey Austin. he’s our favorite buffoon.
Hey Chris, you’re actually correct on this, good for you. I’m clapping and proud of you.
And very ignorant of the facts of that recent court case!
Lynn, I’m surprised to see you say this, especially how they treated Tim when he was running for school boar, plus other primary candidates. I’m discussed with the Guilford County GOP. I’ll never attend any of their meetings or become involved with them again. They are discussing country club left-leaning cronies. I’m a registered Independent now and will NEVRR support nor endorse local GOP efforts again.
There are many reasons people support individual candidates or parties. I was a party supporter until the election of 2016 when I became Undeclared in NC (as that is the choice if one doesn’t want to choose a party). The only issue with that is each election I must choose a “party ballot” which keeps me from voting across party lines for the individual I prefer since often I prefer people of different parties. No one should have to vote strictly by party and in some cases, I would prefer we not have party distinctions on ballots like they do in some states (although there are huge drawbacks to that system when done wrong also).
As a conservative, I’m disgusted with the GOP everywhere. Few Republican politicians are doing anything to save this nation or care about anything other than the perks of being close to people with power and money. There’s little distinction between either party, and neither has done much to protect our sovereignty, economy, or military.
Anywho…stay the course. We have a country to save.
Nobody has to join anything to the GOP because the Republican party has lied and cheated to create three different districts in Guilford County so the people in this get to pay taxes without any representation. The people who get a rigged lap dog fool. The GOP has become the party of HATE.
Dan, like all organizations, political and private, sometimes decisions are made that turn out to be ‘ill-advised’, wrong but sometimes right. Tim is a good, honest and ethical man and now a good council member in High Point. THAT IS GREAT! We need MORE PEOPLE LIKE TIM. Please attend GOP meetings and work with other GOP members to make the party better and stronger. Help the party make better decisions. If you don’t help, don’t complain about the results or the candidates that run for office. Find people who you can support and do just that…support them. You think the party is a bunch of country club left-leaning cronies? I get frustrated too. Don’t give up the fight. Help the GOP to eliminate that mindset. If you don’t help, who will and when will changes ever be made? WE NEED YOU AND A LOT MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO HELP SAVE OUR COUNTRY, OUR STATE, OUR COUNTY, OUR CITIES AND OUR PARTY.
Ken, absolutely, Tim is an honest, ethical, upstanding individual. I greatly respect him. We DO need more people like Tim. I supported him during his run for school board and will continue to support individual candidates of choice, but not the GOP party, locally or nationally. I’ve worked with local GOP individuals (including their leadership) and have been discussed with their behavior. We have different value systems (morally, ethically, respectfully). I will continue the good fight for what is right to save our country, state, county and cities.
THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO.
Elections are rigged . Trump said so.
The Vice President can overturn the presidential election. Trump said so. We have a Democrat VP so she will just overturn election if the vote is for Trump. Just like Pence was supposed to do.
The only thing you can and should do is send your money to Trump. Buy Trump Media stock. He needs the money and he will make you rich. Invest your savings in Trump Media stock.
I get the irony in this one. LOL 😉

…but only after it was pointed out to you.
You’re not as smart as you think, Chrissy.
No. He was more over the top in this one. Keep in mind many a MAGA are dumb as bricks. (Many beleived Trump was secretly still president for example) So was very believable a MAGA would be stupid enough to beleive stock purchase sends money to Trump.
So the insult is more on how dumb MAGA people can be than how I missed comment ment sarcastically.
But you be you.

What a pathetic attempt to C.Y.A.
Your obtuseness is above, in black & white, for all to see.
You missed the sarcasm because you’re unintelligent. That’s all.
Try again mini-me
The VP does NOT have the power to overturn the election results. Read the Constitution. If they did, we would be in chaos.
Donate to Trump by buying Trump Media stock. He will make you rich. Put as much of your savings in it as you can. He’s Trump. It is a sure thing. And he will use the money to Make America Great Again, Donating to GOP is a waste. They are all Rhinos or they will waste money on worthless things to get kick backs and pay high salaries of consultants.
Also… Vote Democrat!
They love all people and will make our lives wonderful! Because, they CARE….
Just give all your extra money to the Democrat Party and you won’t have to worry about anything ever again.
Everyone needs to be informed. Not uninformed or disinformed. The lazy way does not work. I have a cousin who has a TV in the great room, ALWAYS tuned to CNN. I don’t say a word. It’s not that CNN may be the bad, but that CNN is NOT the only source of information.
People need to hear and understand everyone’s point of view, and decide for themselves what is fact, what is propaganda. No, everyone is staring at the Idiot Box or the DumbPhone. I stare at my 32″ Monitor too much.
Only a few have any people skills. Try face-to-face with younger people. I purchased a new cell phone. The sales Rep @Tmobile asked me for my name five times. The fifth time, I wrote in down.
