Zoller, host of the statewide Martha Zoller show on WDUN-AM in Gainesville, GA appears frequently on FOX News Channel, MSNBC, and CNN. The nationally known conservative talk show host spoke about recent political events on both the state and national level. Before closing her appearance she took many questions from the audience. Zoller also signed copies of her book, Indivisible: Uniting Values in A Divided America.

Business Expo
The UCRP joined forces with the Republican Women of Union County and participated in the Business Expo for the first time. We were available to answer any questions the attending public had on the Republican Party and held a raffle. All in all it was fun had by all and we met some newfound friendly faces.

Union County Republican Party Convention
The Union County Republican Party Convention held on March 14, 2009 was a great success. There were about 75 people iConvention2009 sign-in.jpg (164583 bytes)n attendance. In one precinct, for the first time ever, there were more people at the Precinct Mass Meeting than there were Delegate seats. The Convention Chairman was State Committeeman Andrew Turnage who did an outstanding job keeping things going smoothly. The keynote speaker for the Precinct Mass Meeting was District Attorney Stan Gunter. State Representative Stephen Allison spoke at the County Convention encouraging people to become more involved. Thank you to everyone who helped to make this convention successful. For more pictures of the event click here.
