Today, staying informed and engaged is more important than ever. "The Informed Citizen" is here to help local Christian Conservative Republicans connect through our exclusive monthly forums. Our mission is clear: to equip Haywood County Christian Conservative Republican citizens with the knowledge needed to hold elected officials accountable and make informed choices during elections. “The Informed Citizen” is a rebirth of the Haywood County Concerned Citizens group, which met every month at the Butter Biscuit Restaurant and later at the Waynesville Recreation Center.
My name is LeRoy (Le) Cossette, and I am inviting you to join our important effort to increase civic engagement in our community.

However, because of disruptive individuals linked to the socialist Democrat Party who infiltrated our meetings and held protests at our previous sites to intimidate our guests, we are holding our "The Informed Citizen" Forums on a “BY INVITATION ONLY” basis. Only INVITED guests will receive the date, time, and location of our Forums.
If you would like to be one of the INVITED guests, please respond to this post with your name and address. I will use that information to check the Haywood County Board of Elections’ Voter Registration Roster to confirm that you are indeed a Registered Republican in Haywood County. Once I have confirmed that you are a Registered Republican, your name and email address will be added to "The Informed Citizen" roster of INVITED guests, and you will receive the date, time, and location of our Forums. Our first "The Informed Citizen" Forum will be held in three weeks, so please let me know ASAP.
The Purpose of "The Informed Citizen"

"The Informed Citizen" unites a group of dedicated patriotic Christian conservatives who value being knowledgeable about civic and political issues. We aim to foster a supportive environment where people can openly discuss urgent topics, share insights, and learn from experts across different fields.
This forum is inspired by the Haywood County Concerned Citizens group, which used to meet monthly at the Butter Biscuit Restaurant and later at the Haywood County Rec Center. We aim to build on this foundation and foster constructive dialogue and engagement.
What to Expect at the Forum
During our inaugural meeting, we will outline our goals, answer your questions, and lay the foundation for future discussions. We are excited to introduce guest speakers, whose identities will be announced in an upcoming update. These experts will offer valuable insights into topics that resonate with Haywood County Christian conservatives.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in discussions with our guest speakers to enhance their understanding of local political dynamics. By fostering informed citizens, we create a more empowered community.
A Commitment to Community Engagement
It's important to note that "The Informed Citizen" operates independently of the Haywood County Republican Party. Our goal is not to compete with their outreach efforts but to provide a space for Christian conservative Republicans who are hesitant to attend official party events and Town Hall meetings. We aim to attract conservative-minded individuals looking for a platform for dialogue. We also want to invite those already attending the Haywood County Republican Party Town Halls to deepen their understanding by participating in "The Informed Citizen" Forums.

Many residents in our community lack access to candidates and the key information that affects their daily lives. "The Informed Citizen" aims to bridge this gap through daily blog posts and by providing a welcoming monthly forum environment for all conservative individuals to connect, discuss important issues, meet the candidates running for elected offices, and hear from subject matter experts about issues that directly impact you and your family.
Monthly Forums
Following our first event, "The Informed Citizen" will continue to host monthly forums. These gatherings will feature discussions on key topics and offer opportunities to hear from knowledgeable experts. We believe that fostering community spirit and encouraging open dialogue will help us build a well-informed and engaged citizenry.
You can count on us to keep you informed with regular blog updates and news on our website. Together, we can stay involved and connected to the local issues that matter to our community.
Why Your Participation Matters

Your active participation is crucial for our mission's success. When we unite as a community, we can strengthen our collective voice and ensure elected officials understand our needs. An engaged and informed citizenry is essential for holding representatives accountable and advocating for policies that reflect our values.
"The Informed Citizen" is more than just a group; it represents a movement dedicated to renewing civic engagement in Haywood County. We warmly invite you to join us for our first exclusive forum. Together, we can foster a community of informed citizens eager to actively participate in the political process.
