Talking Points:
What you need to know about 5 threatening Countries’ abilities to destroy the USA with one EMP.
- Incompetent leadership has emboldened our adversaries: China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, with weapons and the means to target and deliver them Ukraine War has pushed the world closer to a nuclear confrontation
- Likely preempted by a high altitude EMP (HEMP) attack that destroys all electronics and communications in its path. What is an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and how does it threaten us?
- What has/hasn’t been done to protect ourselves, what we coulda, woulda, shoulda done.

It’s time for NCRC Membership Renewal and new applications
For present membership, your renewal is due by January 1, 2023. For the others, you can become a member now and the rest of the year would be free.
This is going out to a very wide distribution, those who were previous members, precinct leaders, people who attended recent meetings, and current members. I’d ask that everyone interested fill out a new membership form, attached. Please notice, specifically the standing committees currently listed on the application page and send that in along with your membership dues of $20 for a single membership and $35 for a family membership.
I believe the strength of a club is not only the number of members, but also the strength of its committees which is where the good work is done that moves the club to be the best.
Our club has many and varied speakers during the year, a charity auction in December, and a great picnic in the summer, but our best achievement is cultivating and supporting a great list of candidates to make Anne Arundel County the best in the State.
We need your support to not only keep this going, but also to expand it, so please consider joining the North County Republican Club and working on one or two of our committees.
