Dear Friends:

I hope you can all join me this weekend in Branson as loyal Republicans from across the state come together for our State Convention.

I will be hosting a special "United In 2008" reception Friday night after dinner in the Florence/Naples Rooms at the Chateau on the Lake, the headquarters hotel for the Convention.  We'll been featuring a smoking hot Jazz Band trio and there will be plenty of delicious food and beverages for all our guests.

I'm pleased to announce that as part of our unity theme, we'll be joined by State Treasurer Candidate Brad Lager, Attorney General Candidate Mike Gibbons, Speaker-Elect Ron Richard and Assistant Majority Floor Leader Jack Goodman.

So come on by and say hello, stay for a while, and enjoy the spirit of unity that will carry us to victory this November.

See you there!

Peter
