As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on December 14, 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, December 18, 2012.

Sullivan County Republicans Elect Members, Officers

December 1, Claremont - Sullivan County Republicans held their biennial caucus to elect members to the
Sullivan County Republican Committee. "It's good to see such a large turnout" remarked Past Chairman
Steve Cunningham.  "We're not lying down in sorrow over the last election. We are organizing for the
next election."

The Republican caucus is a true grassroots organization - its members are those who were chosen as delegates
 or nominees in the September State Primary election. They elected a committee of 20 regular members to 
represent Sullivan County at the Republican State Committee annual meeting in January.

The newly elected committee then met and elected its officers:
- Chairman Spec Bowers of Sunapee
- 1st  Vice Chair Tom Howard of Croydon
- 2nd Vice Chair Joe Osgood of Claremont
- Treasurer Don Clarke of Claremont
- Secretary Marie Lozito of Claremont
The committee also elected another ten members as Associate Members.

Chairman Bowers said that his primary goal was getting our message out.
"We had a good message of freedom, limited government and unlimited opportunity for all,
but we did a bad job of getting our message out and we did a terrible job of defending
against the opposition's absurd characterizations of our positions."
