Jan 21 2026 Meeting

RARC January 21, 2026 Meeting

Happy New Year! We are looking forward to an exciting year and there is a lot going on already.

The RARC meeting is Wednesday January 21st at 7:00 pm at Rochester Community House (816 Ludlow). Doors open at 6:30.

James David Dickson is our guest speaker talking about Making the Case Against Mike Duggan in the Governor’s Race.

We hope to see you at the meeting on Wednesday January 21st – doors open at 6:30 pm at Rochester Community House (816 Ludlow). The meeting is free and light refreshments provided.

COV Petitions and Election Integrity – this is our time to put a proposal on the ballot and bring out the conservative voters. We need your help to make that happen. Americans for Citizen Only Voting has organized signing events on Saturday, January 10th from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. And you get two options to attend:

10th Congressional District Republicans are hosting at 35744 Van Dyke, Sterling Heights, MI. Congressman John James is speaking at 11:00 am
OCRP is hosting at their headquarters at 42611 Woodward, Bloomfield Hills

Volunteers are needed at both locations to help. Please let us know if you can help.

These events are scheduled to help those desiring to support the ballot initiative by finding a location to:
● Sign a petition.
● Encourage others to sign a petition.
● Pick up petitions to assist in gathering additional signatures.

It’s time for Michigan to act. In 2026, we must adopt a Citizen-Only Voting Amendment to our state constitution. This measure would:
● Require voters to show photo ID to vote, while providing free ID cards for individuals facing hardship, ensuring the law is fair and accessible to all eligible citizens.
● Establish that the secretary of state must verify that only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote in all elections, and
● Mandate that the Secretary of State regularly review and purge voter rolls of individuals whose citizenship status cannot be verified.

Please join us on Saturday, January 10th, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Your participation helps move this effort from a petition initiative to an official measure on the 2026 ballot. Every signature counts!

Please bring any signed Citizens Only Voting petitions to the event. We will be sending all the petitions we have to the organizers.
