A True Account of January 6, 2021

The Northern Grafton County Republican Committee hosted guest speaker Cindy Lou Young at its March 3, 2026 monthly meeting. Ms. Young is author of the book entitled Unbowed, which captures the conservative truth, perspective and essence of what really occurred on January 6, 2021 in Washington, D.C. Ms. Young presented to the NGCRC membership and audience how her rights and dignity as an American citizen were violated.

Leaving her home in Bristol, NH and traveling for ten hours aboard a coach bus bound for Washington, D.C. in order to participate in a peaceful protest and to let her voice be heard, she arrived where others as herself were attacked by Antifa and several Federal organizations and confidential human sources who were intentionally placed to create a misconception of the event.

Ms. Young’s recollection include observing piles of bricks placed ready to be thrown at the appointed moment, metro and capitol police shooting gas and rubber bullets into crowds, and Ms. Young being misdirected by capitol police as she attempted to leave the Capitol Building.

It appears that there were those in opposition to the peaceful protest who arrived and planned to incite a riot and to later blame it on conservatives. A staged and orchestrated event by anti-conservative leftists Ms. Young was arrested on four convictions and sentenced to prison in Philadelphia.

An honest and truthful read, Unbowed uncovers the corruption and Swamp Waters at work in the government which has one goal, that is to tear down the United States of America, piece by piece, inch by inch, and person by person. Be on your guard American Citizens and Patriots, they may next be coming for you.

Shining Example of How Immigration Should Work

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Florida’s 
“Gold Standard” Immigration Enforcement Model

Washington, D.C. (February 5, 2027) – The Center’s latest podcast episode features Florida Governor Ron DeSantis discussing how Florida has become the gold standard on immigration enforcement.

Gov. DeSantis explains why Florida has avoided the unrest seen in Los Angeles and Minneapolis, pointing to strong state laws and cooperation with federal authorities.

Key highlights:

Mandatory Cooperation with ICE: During a special legislative session following President Trump’s election, Florida enacted a law requiring all state and local officials to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. Officials who refuse can be suspended from office. Sanctuary policies are banned statewide.

287(g) Agreements: All 67 Florida county sheriffs participate in 287(g) agreements, along with the majority of police agencies. Florida is the first state to require state agencies to enter such agreements, enabling full task-force, street-level cooperation with ICE.

More than 20,000 apprehensions have resulted from state and local cooperation.

State-Run Detention Capacity: Florida operates a state-owned detention and processing facility, nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz,” to address federal detention shortages. An immigration judge adjudicates cases onsite, and DHS conducts removals directly from the facility’s airstrip.

A second “Deportation Depot” in northern Florida supports removals.

DHS provides full federal reimbursement.

Provides an update on legal challenges.

Interior Enforcement Measures:

Mandatory E-Verify for public employers and private employers with 25+ workers.

No driver’s licenses or local photo IDs (by government agencies or NGOs) for illegal immigrants.

English-only commercial driver’s license testing.

State election crimes unit to prosecute illegal voting. 

Maritime Enforcement: Through Operation Vigilant Sentry, Florida interdicts migrants at sea and hands them over to the Coast Guard for return to their home countries.

In his closing commentary, Mark Krikorian, executive director and podcast host, highlights a new Center report finding that 53% of immigrant-headed households, legal and illegal together, use at least one welfare program. He points out that most immigrants work, but because they have low levels of education, they earn low wages and thus rely on taxpayer-funded support. Reducing future dependence requires selecting legal immigrants based on skills and enforcing laws against illegal immigration.

Rudy Gelsi Announces Run for Littleton Selectman

I, Rudy Gelsi, an active and concerned citizen of Littleton for many years, am announcing my candidacy for the position of Littleton Selectman.  I am running for this position for the betterment of the lives of the citizens of the town I really care about very much. 

My constant attendance at Littleton Select Board Meetings and Littleton Budget Meetings have prompted my outspoken words of financial wisdom which have been heard by you, the Littleton voters, for many years.  You know me, you know I care about you, and you know I love Littleton.  I want to make living in Littleton affordable again like when I first moved here over twenty years ago.

Some of the reasons that persuaded me to run for this position are economic and some are philosophical.  

Under the present make-up of the Littleton Select Board, we have individuals who like to spend our money like there’s no tomorrow.  Their “tax and spend” policies are sinful and unsustainable!  If continued, we’re going to end up like Gavin Newsome’s bankrupt state of California rather than the flourishing state of Florida under Governor Ron De Santis.  

Rather than lowering costs and cutting taxes, the present Selectmen’s Socialist-Democrat giveaways in the form of 3% raises and 3.5 % Cost of Living raises (aka, COLAs) do not benefit those on fixed incomes in Littleton.  This has got to STOP! 

Together, with your vote at the polls on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, we can “Make Littleton Great Again”!  Together, we can change things for the better.  Elections have consequences, and that is why I am asking for your vote and support.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

Rudy Gelsi of Littleton, NH
