event of the same name on October 6, 2020, in North Yarmouth, Maine,
with fifty sponsoring groups and leaders, including the host,
the Gray Republican Committee of Gray, Maine. Read this next sentence and ask yourself if you think that it’s true:
If a majority of Americans lose their understanding of history and the truth and lose their love for America, America will not survive. ![]() Videos: Are American Freedoms One Election Away from Extinction?Featuring former Governor Paul LePage, Dr. Demi Kouzounas, Chair of the Republican Party of Maine, and Peter Falkenberg Brown, Chair of the Gray Republican Committee ![]() Videos: Stop Open Borders: Say No to Poverty, Crime, & TyrannyThe videos from our "Stop Open Borders" event are online!
The program featured Rep. Larry Lockman as the Keynote Speaker, as well as Border Patrol agent Robert McArdle as the second speaker, and the Gray Republican Committee Chair, Peter Falkenberg Brown, as the intro speaker. In addition, Dr. Demi Kouzounas, the Chair of the Maine GOP, gave a Special Report. ![]() National Borders and the Value of America as a City On a HillThis essay was the basis of a presentation at the program “Stop Open Borders: Say No to Poverty, Crime, and Tyranny” on July 29, 2020, hosted by the Gray Republican Committee. A video of the presentation, along with videos of the other speakers, is listed on the GRC YouTube Channel. I start with a question–a dilemma that does indeed have an answer.
How can good-hearted, ethical, moral people make the suggestion to “stop open borders”? The first few words of John 3:16 are: “For God so loved the world.” With imagination, one can sense that God looks down at the world and sees all human beings, of every color, race, creed, and nationality, as sacred individuals born with the light of God dwelling in their hearts. ![]() Videos: “Why Socialism Would Destroy America’s Economy & Freedoms”Videos for Event: November 20, 2019, Windham Veterans Center, Windham, Maine We've uploaded videos for the November 20th event on the dangers of socialism. One "full event" video, and one for each of the five speakers. Congressman Bruce Poliquin, Peter Falkenberg Brown, José Mayoral, Dr. Demi Kouzounas, and Joe Reagan. ![]() Essay: Why Socialism Would Destroy America’s Economy and FreedomsThis essay was the basis for the first speech at the event of the same name, on November 20, 2019, co-hosted by the Gray and Windham Republican Committees with the co-sponsorship and support of 50 additional organizations and leaders. Around 100 people attended. Socialism would destroy America’s economy and freedoms because it’s a totalitarian system rooted in hatred, envy, and revenge that gives political and economic power to a bureaucratic élite who inevitably become corrupt as they steal from the masses whom they set out to liberate. As socialism removes economic and political freedoms, it crushes the human soul and turns its citizens into jailers and slaves. Personal dreams and ambitions fade away, and society descends into bored mediocrity, corruption, poverty, fear, and death. ![]() Essay: Free Speech, Hate Speech, & Censorship: Winning the 2020 Elections~ This essay was the basis of a public speech given on August 15, 2019 in Cumberland, Maine, co-hosted by the Gray and Cumberland Republican Town Committees. Brown is the Chairman of the Gray Republican Committee. You can
view that speech here. First, liberals and conservatives need to join together and affirm that we want to be free and that living a life of freedom requires thought and free-flowing dialogue. Totalitarians don’t like freedom of thought at all. ![]() Video: Free Speech, Hate Speech, & Censorship: Winning the 2020 ElectionsThe first speaker was Peter Falkenberg Brown, the Chairman of the Gray Republican Committee. The essay from which his speech was birthed can be
viewed here. This is a video of an event co-hosted by the Gray and Cumberland Republican Town Committees in Maine, and co-sponsored by 32 additional town committees, conservative nonprofits, and leaders. ![]() Video: Full Program: The Immigration Crisis at the Southern BorderVideo of May 8, 2019 Event at Gray Public Library Welcome: Minute 1:00 - 2 1/2 minutes Peter Falkenberg Brown: Minute: 3:27 - 18 minutes Jack Wibby: Minute: 21:35 - 10 minutes Robert Casimiro: Minute: 31:47 - 46 minutes KC Hughes: Minute: 1:18:11 - 5 minutes ![]() Government Must Preserve and Defend the Sacred Freedoms of All IndividualsWhat is government but a collection of individuals working together to manage the affairs of a larger population? As individuals, each government worker has a choice. Will they recognize their equal status with every citizen of their country and work as servants to protect the sacred rights of all, or will they be corrupted by their power, as Lord Acton warned, and steer their government toward tyranny?

Gov. Mills: Open Maine Now!Gov. Janet Mills of Maine needs to dial back the abnormal fear of COVID-19. A MUCH bigger problem is the collapse of the Maine economy if she continues her Draconian Shutdown. The op/ed below is from Republican State Senator Rich Cebra.April 16 Letter to the Governor from Maine's Joint Republican Caucus 129th LegislatureOn April 16, legislative Republicans submitted a letter to the Governor voicing their own concerns along with questions from their constituents. The original intent was to allow the Governor to respond, rather than communicate through press releases.News organizations have subsequently obtained the letter with plans to report on it. Therefore, we are making it available, unfiltered, for the public to see. News from the Chair, Peter Falkenberg BrownThe shutdown seems to have saved many lives, which is a good thing, but as many people have said, we don't want the cure to be worse than the disease. Here's hoping that Gov. Mills will ease things open, in a common sense fashion: both businesses and recreational venues. People need to be able to sit in the sun and look at the ocean, in my opinion. It heals the soul and helps the body.Maine GOP Launches People's Veto To Repeal Ranked Choice VotingDr. Demi Kouzounas issued the following statement today regarding her filing for a People's Veto to L.D. 1083 to Repeal Ranked Choice Voting in Maine's Presidential Elections:"One person, one vote is a bedrock American principle.
