BOB displayed our new TEA Party signs that NANCY BOCK had ordered.  BOB would like for those who are working the polling places during the early voting, to please pick one up to display on table used to hold our voter handouts.

On schedule tonight is the finalization of the candidates we decide are the ones most likely to best support the TEA Party principles of Limited Government, Fiscal Responsibility, and Protection of  Free Markets.  It was decided we would vote by show of hands and not by secret ballot.  Most said they were not ashamed of showing everyone where they stand.  Upon closing this meeting BOB will go to the Cape Carteret meeting and collect the ballots cast there and collate them for a final recommendation.  Following is a list of those candidates chosen by our group tonight.
