From the Republican National Convention, Local Representative Keeps Patch Informed

Georgia Rep. Bruce Williamson is a member of the Georgia Delegation at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. He is sharing his experiences with Patch in Gwinnett County.

From Georgia Rep. Bruce Williamson (R-Monroe):

Tuesday's Theme - "We Built It"

We are a nation made great by the extraordinary aspirations of ordinary men and women who summoned the inner drive, discipline and persistent effort to achieve their dreams within a free enterprise system that enabled them to do so.

America's entrepreneurs ask not for guarantees of success, but only for the chance to try; by seeking merely the opportunity to apply our God-given talents in single-minded devotion to our goals, we have earned every right to demand that government does not impede our path.

Across the nation, Republican governors have summoned the courage to return to the principles that allow entrepreneurs to create jobs: limiting spending, reducing debt and restraining unnecessary regulation.   

While they have achieved success in restoring economic vitality in their states, their efforts have been frustrated by the Obama administration, whose policies have stifled job creation and hindered economic growth.

Those policies have failed because Barack Obama believes that it is government, not individual Americans, that produces economic growth and creates jobs. 

Mitt Romney knows better.  The engine of prosperity is fueled by American men and women with dreams and determination to create a better future for themselves and their families.  Mitt Romney wants to give them the tools and the freedom they need to do so - and to let them keep more of what they work so hard for.

Sincerely,

Bruce Williamson

Williamson also shared a photograph from the convention.

"Got a chance to visit with Congressman Tom Graves who is a taxpayer champion in Washington. Tom is fighting hard for conservatism in DC and I am proud to call him a friend," Williamson said.

Congratulations to all the music teachers of Gwinnett County Public Schools! Thank you to theRead More Principals and Parents for supporting music in the schools. Music can help children learn the importance of teamwork and discipline, while giving them the skills necessary to become confident and successful adults of the future.

My own H.S. band director used to keep stats about his students, so that every time the BoE or theRead More school itself would talk about cutting funding or dropping support, he could show them how misguided their efforts really were. In a school of ~1800 kids, the list of A-B students each semester would number around 300 kids; nearly half of them would be students in the band program, which numbered around 200-250 all told. The all-A Honor Roll? 8 in 10 or more were band kids. The valedictorian my senior year was a clarinet player who was in the marching and symphonic bands all four years she was there. (She also played field hockey, for whatever that's worth. ^_^) Kudos to Gwinnett County, Cobb County, and Fulton County for receipt of this award. I'd like to offer a personal shout out to OCHS band director Mark Provost who has more than done his part to try and put Oconee County on that map, too, and to all those in the State of Georgia who are working to put their communities up there as well.

I read a lot about the Crime in the City of Lilburn, Most of it is on Lawrenceville Hwy,Read More Shoplifting, Mostly at Wal-Mart & Home Depot. It is in the Patch daily, in the Patch today, I think Lilburn Police should just keep a Special car up in these Two places 24 hours a day. (Save Gas). I think Lilburn Police, does a good job with the capture of these shoplifters. Crime has incresed a lot since 1992, when I came to Lilburn, I have heard a lot of people moving out. Most of the trouble is from Lawrenceville Hwy over to I-85. From Rockbride Rd. to Pleasthill Rd. Lilburn needs new business along Lawrenceville Hwy or around Lilburn, Good Resturants, Clothing Stores, Stores like the AVENUES, at 124 Hwy in Snellville. I hope the Crime goes down Thanks Ben H

Agreed, Crime is the top issue next to people just not taking care of their property anymore. NoRead More good places to eat or shop and that's why everyone leaves the area to find anything decent. Juveniles loitering in neighborhoods, grass knee high, feral cats all over and it's just becoming another area ruined by crime and undesirables. Unless the police and citizens are more vigilant and part of the solution and not the problem, we'll lose the area to becoming another dump filled with crime and meth houses.
