The Sevier County Republican Party holds its regularly monthly meeting on Tuesday, February 16, 2010 in the Sevier County Courthouse at 6:00 pm. In addition to regular Party business and committee reports, members and attendees will hear from the scheduled guest speaker, alternative medicine specialist and political advocate Greg Samples.

Mr. Samples first entered politics in 1994, running as an independent candidate for Congress. That first campaign focused on tax reform and the potential of a looming health care crisis. He represented the Libertarian Party in the Tennessee U.S. Senate race in 1996 and the District 2 Congressional election in 1998.
A freedom advocate for over two decades, Mr. Samples was an alternate delegate representing Tennessee at Continental Congress 2009 in St. Charles, IL. At the Congress, he contributed to the creation of the major publication of that body; the Articles of Freedom. He continues to actively promote freedom and alternative medicine.
