February 15, 2008 - Fyffe, Alabama - William Potter, chairman of the Jefferson Republican Party and the JRP-Alabama, is seeking to be the first Jefferson Republican to be reelected as a member of the Fyffe Town Council.
While many "third" parties focus too much of their attention and monies upon the Federal elections, the JRP continues to be a grassroots effort working from the ground up - that means focusing on the town, city and county elections first and foremost.
For much of the last few weeks, Mr. Potter has spent his time concentrating on his efforts to be reelected. Though Fyffe is small in comparison to more well-known cities, it still takes a lot of time, effort, and yes, money, to win an election - no matter how "insignificant" the national parties and media deem it to be.
The Jefferson Republican Party believes that all elected offices are important and vital. We also believe that the only way the average American can retake this country and turn things around is to start winning local elections. We can talk about how important retaking Washington, DC, is, or our state capitols. However, those places will never return to the people, unless the people first take responisbility in their own backyard first.

As a current office-holder who is a Jeffersonian, it is our top priority to see that you are reelected.

Jefferson was a member of the Democratic-republican party, not the Republican Party. The Republican party wasn't created until 1854 in Ripon, WI and championed around the cause of eliminating slavery. Abraham Lincoln was the first president of the Republican party, and to his credit, eliminated slavery.
Historians are the only people who ever call Jefferson's party the "Democratic-Republican" Party. Jefferson, nor his associates, ever called his party that. Instead, Jefferson called his party the Republican Party, because they espoused republican ideals.
Historians refer to Jefferon's party as the "Democratic-Republican" so that simpled-minded Americans will not confuse it with Lincoln's.
