Republican Women of the Black Belt Meet

The Republican Women of the Black Belt (RWBB) met Tuesday, April 29th at the Junction Grocery in Moundville. This was officially the group’s second meeting following a small organizational meeting in February.

Approximately two dozen people attended the meeting, including ALGOP Secretary Carol Jahns, Alabama Federation of Republican Women’s Second Vice President and President of the North Shelby Republican Women Diane Caldwell, and President of the Tuscaloosa County Republican Women Jackie Ray.

RWBB President Connie Frye called the meeting to order shortly after 6:00 PM. Following the opening Prayer and Pledge of Allegiance, President Frye made introductions of several guests and welcomed all to the meeting.

RWBB Vice President Bea Nichols directed the group to the new RWBB website and discussed several plans for the future. She emphasized the group’s mission of service to the community as well as plans to grow their membership.

AL-7 Congressional Candidate Robin Litaker spoke briefly about her experiences running for the AL-7 seat in the last election and her plans to run again in 2026. She discussed how she believes the growing successes of Republicans in the Black Belt will only continue, and that people in AL-7 are tired of being left behind by the rest of the State.

“I’m proud that I could come to this meeting,” Litaker later told ALPolitics.com. “This area has needed a strong Republican Women’s group for some time, and I think new groups like this one, and others across the Black Belt, will help spread our conservative message and elect more Republicans at every level.”

The evening’s featured speaker was author and investigative reporter Terri LaPoint. LaPoint will be challenging incumbent Mike Rogers in AL-3 for the Congressional seat Rogers has held since 2003. LaPoint said that her political involvement began with the Republican Women of Trussville, the group she currently serves as President. She described how witnessing her first case of a child being medically kidnapped by Child Protective Services spurred her interest in the phenomenon, and that her first article to go viral concerned “vaccine blackmail.”

LaPoint spoke about medical kidnapping, reminding the audience that foster children have often been used in medical testing without proper consent, as happened under Dr. Fauci’s NIADH to AIDS-positive children in the 1990s. She stated that only 14% of children in Alabama that are removed by DHR are taken for abuse—essentially the same (13%) as are taken for housing issues.

LaPoint pointed out that only a tiny portion of all federal funds allocated to children’s safety is dedicated to preserving families, and when elected, this will be a major focus of her activity in Congress.

LaPoint commended the group on their initiative in forming a new Republican Women’s organization in the Black Belt, saying “It's exciting to be a part of a new Republican Women's Club starting, and to see women who are passionate about making a difference.”
