Today, a wife and two children are unexpectedly waking up without their husband and father. The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a dark day for American democracy. Charlie’s political and religious views are shared by millions of Americans, and our First Amendment right to free speech should not be diminished by fear of a gunman’s bullet.
Instead of recriminations, we encourage people to learn more about Republicans and conservatism, about what we stand for, about what motivates us. We stand for individual liberty, personal responsibility, low taxation, limited government, parental rights, and free speech. We are your neighbors, your family members, your friends, your coworkers. We are not your enemy, and neither was Charlie Kirk.
The Wood County Republican Women’s Club invites people to respectfully observe, engage, debate, and enjoy the blessings and rights that our Constitution and Country afford us. That should never involve violence, or even the threat of violence.
On this September 11, as we also hold in our thoughts the victims of the terrorist attacks of 2001, the Wood County Republican Women’s Club chooses to honor all Americans, and we pray for the future of our beautiful County, State and Country.
In honor of a slain husband and father, we echo the sentiments of Pope St. John Paul II: “Even if the forces of darkness appear to prevail, those who believe in God know that evil and death do not have the final say.”

President of the Wood County Republican Women’s Club
