Woolwich,
Maine,
established in 1759, has a long history of supporting
and defending freedom. From the 55 men who answered
the call to fight the British in 1775, to the current
wars in Iraqi and Afghanistan, our community has a
history of community participation in the formation
and continuance of American freedoms.
Republicans of Woolwich support the basic principles that -
Individuals, not government, can make the best decisions; all people are entitled to equal rights; and decisions are best made close to home !

Freedom is
never more than one generation away from extinction. We
didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must
be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the
same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our
children and our children's children what it was once like
in the United States where men were free.
