Humboldt Republican Women Welcome Eric Golub

"Combating Ideological Bigotry: Beating the left at their own game."

Meet Eric Golub, author of Ideological Bigotry, Ideological Violence and Ideological Idiocy. His blog is the Tygrrrr Express www.tygrrrrexpress.com/
Hes linked at our website

Eric Golub's message couldn't be more timely! National Labor Leader Jimmy Ho a calls for WAR on Republicans, warming up the Labor Day crowd for Barack Obama, saying "Let's take these sons of bitches out." Eric tackles this head kind of thing head-on in his book: "Ideological bigotry is the hatred of people simply due to their political or ideological beliefs. Ideological bigotry is every bit as destructive as racial or ethnic bigotry, but receives far less attention. Conservatives disagree with liberals. Liberals despise conservatives. They hate them.... Liberals hate conservatives for emerely existing and breathing air. Ideological bigotry must be handled in the same way as all other bigotry: With swift, loud condemnation and full throttled self-defense" We can read his full-throttled defense at the Washington Times

Communities Online, World Net Daily, and Donne Tempo Magazine. He's written for Andrew Breitbart's "Big Hollywood," Tucker Carlsons Daily Caller, and has been published by the Jewish Journal and the Jewish Policy Center. Commentary Magazine and Pajamas Media have him on their blogroll. (As do we: He's on our blogroll at hrwf-ca.org) His message is more important now than ever before. Please JOIN US for lunch! Bring friends. Details below.

Are you getting tired of the Class Warfare that keeps creeping into your everyday life? I know Im tired of hearing Tax the rich and Tax all those making over $250,000 per year. I have never been envious of the rich but have always aspired to be one. I believe if you work hard, make good choices, that you too may become rich! I know Im trying to do that, so enough of this mantra. The Fair Tax may make everyone love the rich as the more you buy the more you pay in taxes. The tax rate would be 23% but it would abolish all federal, personal and corporate income taxes, gift and estate tax, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, and self-employment taxes. This means that there would be no withholding from your paycheck and you get to take more money home. The most obvious advantage of the Fair Tax is the elimination of the annual income tax headache and cost of tax preparation. Government spending would be reduced by eliminating the IRS. Some believe since workers would keep 100% of their wages, the increased consumer spending would lead to an increase in GDP, jobs, productivity, and wages. To o set the impact on those at poverty level or below, a rebate (prebate) would be given on a monthly basis. In 2008, the poverty guideline for a family of four was $21,000. The Fair Tax Act of 2008 proposed to remove the marriage penalty and thus would have raised the income amount to $27,380. This means a family of four would have received a check for $525 per month, or $6,297 a year, to cover the cost of the sales tax. This tax would only tax us on what we choose to spend on new goods or services, not on what we earn. If you choose to buy used goods used car, used home, used appliances you do not pay the tax. A business owner or farmer buying something for strictly business purposes (not for personal consumption) would pay no consumption tax. The tax would be charged just as state sales taxes are today. When you decide what to buy and how much to spend, you would see exactly how much you would be contributing to the government with each purchase. This sounds good to me.

Americas rst printed book
When the Pilgrim Fathers arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, the in uence of the Bible and their Christian faith over their lives and literature came with them. A mere 20 years later, the Bay Psalm Book, originally titled, The Whole Booke of Psalmes Faithfully Translated into English Metre, was printed in 1640 in Cambridge, Mass. It was the rst book printed in the colonies as well as the rst book entirely written in the colonies. The rst printing press in New England was purchased and imported speci cally to print this volume. The book represented a sacred value held by the Puritansa faithful translation of Gods word to be sung in worship by the entire congregation. Given the harsh living condition of those early years, it was a remarkable achievement. Ironic, isnt it? The rst book printed in our nation is not allowed in our public state schools today.

Our OVERSEAS COUPON PROJECT continues to be highly successful, thanks to our members and all those who clip and save coupons for our military families overseas. We received a thank you note from one of those familes after our last shipment expressing their appreciation for all the coupons and the savings. I also mailed the latest batch of coupons on 8/31, the value of which totaled over $27,000!! Good work, everyone!! Let's keep our military in prayer and express our thanks in every way we can. We are still the Land of the Free because of the Brave. May God always bless our troops and our great country. ------------------------

Two Views:

President Obama has just con rmed that the DC earthquake occurred on a rare and obscure fault line, apparently known as... "Bush's Fault".... Scientists have just reported that there was no earthquake in D.C. last month. Studies show that it was, in fact, our Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves.... ---------------

From the CalWatch Dog.com. website with John Hrabe come detailed articles regarding the California Redistricting Committee. He claims the committee was instructed to produce ungerrymandered districts. Instead, it was riddled with partisan gamesmanship. One Committee member charged in an exclusive interview that the committee broke the law. Corruption, failed vetting and Democrats in charge o ered no transparency and deals were made behind closed doors. The accusations above look like accurate discriptions of the district in which we now reside. Public employees work fewer hours than other employees because they have more days o . Typically, the public sector jobs in California work a four-day week or less. They can retire at a younger age, often between 50-55, with pensions indexed for in ation of 75- 90 % of their nal salary. The system has to change. Ending public sector collective bargaining is the answer to the problem. These pensions are bankrupting cities and this state. Although change is needed, it seems unlikely those who created the problem will solve it. State pension funds currently control $432 billion in assets and su ered a $109.7 billion loss in 2008-09.

California Legislative Report

RedistrictingStatewide Control Update The Democrat Party Expands Its

I, for one, was hopeful that a citizen commission would fairly dole out districts and make signi cant improvements to break up this one-party controlled state. Now that the commissions work is done and they have submitted the maps to the Secretary of State, I fear were going to miss the good ole days of gerrymandered districts drawn by our Legislature. Be careful what you wish for, echoes in my head. In 2008, voters thought we were taking away the Legislatures responsibility of redistricting and placing it in the hands of fourteen non-partisan, neutral voters. Unfortunately, were on the politically correct left coast, so the selection process cant help but be awed. Last year, a special panel was convened to narrow an applicant pool to about 60, with our Legislature eliminating about a third of those applicants before the State Auditor randomly picked the nal eight, and then those eight picked the nal six. This experiment, in hindsight, has some fatal aws. The process focused too heavily on minority, non-engaged (in politics) applicants at the expense of the most quali ed people. The second fatal aw is that the commission wanted speci c citizen input, namely the communities of interest. They were looking for minority ethnic communities, not necessarily economic or social or even geographic communities. They were not looking at voter registration or voter turn-out either. And nally, the party in control controls everything in this state. The commission has been focusing on race and, while this is an important factor, it shouldnt be the determining factor in legislative districts. This factor alone could be grounds for a challenge. States are allowed to have their own guidelines for redistricting, but they must consider a handful of federal guidelines: Districts must be relatively the same size. There cannot be racial gerrymandering. Districts cannot dilute the minority vote. The districts must take into account certain criteria, including political subdivision lines, compactness, contiguity, and communities of interest. To challenge the new district maps there are two remedies: Within 45 days of nal certi cation of the maps, any registered California voter may le a challenge to the nal maps in the California Supreme Court. The 45-day period ends on September 29th. Within 90 days of the nal certi cation of the maps, a referendum petition may be led regarding any map or portion of a map. The 90-day period to request a title and summary from the Attorney General, collect the required voter signatures, and le the petitions with county elections o cials ends on November 13, 2011. For more information on the referendum process, visit www.sos.ca.gov/elections/ballot-measures/referenda.htm.

Sadly, the fact that zero jobs were created last month is only tting for this administration, which is led by a President with zero leadership, zero plans, zero results and zero understanding of basic economics. And the American people are worse o because of it. Herman Cain on the Jobs Report

The nal maps for the Northcoast region are not good. The Congressional District (CD02) has captured the entire coast from the Golden Gate Bridge to Oregon, including Trinity County and excluding Santa Rosa. In doing so, it merges with Marin and retiring progressive Representative Lynn Woolseys district. Mike Thompson will run in his new, home-area district which leaves an open seat here. 49.9% Democrat, 22.75% Republican, and 21.21% Decline To State. To date, three candidates have announced running. One is Assemblyman Jared Hu man, an environmental attorney from Marin. Norman Solomon, a progressive author/activist from Marin who Sean Penn recently stumped for. The third candidate to announce is Susan Adams, a Marin County supervisor and nurse. So far, Jared Hu man is the favorite, having raised twice that of Solomon. You can pretty much bet that our Representative will be a progressive from Marin and that county will have its way with the entire district. The Assembly District (AD02) is very similar to the CD02 but doesnt go farther south than Hwy 12 in Santa Rosa. Two Democrat Assemblymen are now in this district, career-politician Wes Chesbro and newcomer Michael Allen. The district now leaves out Lake County and extends further south. Eureka is no longer the largest city in the district. 46.45% Democrat, 25.73% Republican, and 20.78% Declined To State. The State Senate seat (SD02) starts at the Golden Gate Bridge and goes along the coast to Oregon. It also includes Lake and Trinity County, with Santa Rosa carved out. Del Norte and Trinity County are not happy about losing Doug LaMalfa for Noreen Evans. The California Republican Party is expected to challenge the Senate redistricting either by referendum or in the courts. 49.73% Democrat, 23.23% Republican, and 21.02% Decline To State. As a disclaimer, the maps are not very detailed so it is hard to see exactly where the edges of the districts are, which is very frustrating for those living on that edge. If you would like to see for yourself go to www.mpimaps.com or http://wedrawthelines.ca.gov/. With all this bad news there has to be something positive for us to rally behind. Now more than ever we need an active, engaged, and growing Republican Women Federated in our communities. Now more than ever we need to be informed, involved and inspired. I know RWF is up for the challenge. We de nitely have our work cut out for us!

As you know, I strongly believe that your contributions have been invaluable. I am inviting all CFRW members to attend the CRPs 2011 Fall Convention in Los Angeles, September 16-18, to celebrate Republican women leaders. Friday night, youll hear one of the most dynamic women in modern politics, Rep. Michele Bachmann, who will show exactly why shes a formidable candidate and a front-runner to become the GOPs presidential nominee in 2012. Saturday night, the celebration continues, as the state party features Californias elected Republican women. The program includes Congressional Rep. Mary Bono Mack, Board of Equalization member Michelle Steel, and Assembly Republican Leader Connie Conway. Its an impressive list, highlighting the successful women who are leading our state party. More and more, women are taking control of their political future and this convention is a great opportunity for you to learn how the CFRW can make even more of a di erence as we head into the crucial 2012 election cycle. Please join the CFRW and the California Republican Party at the JW Marriott hotel at L.A. Live, the weekend of September 16-18 and take a bow as we salute the success of Californias Republican women.

Never Forget

Though we took a Newsletter hiatus over the summer, there's been a lot going on: Aliens plan to attack the US because we drive SUVs, did you know? The 2012 Presidential eld is shaping up; Michele Bachmann won the Iowa Straw Poll; the Candidates debate; Rick Perry jumps in the race; Tim Pawlenty withdraws; Sarah Palin, will she or won't she? From contentious budget discussions to the Debt Ceiling Debacle, America's credit rating downgraded - the biggest stories of the summer... And now, ZERO job growth, (waiting for the President's JOBS Plan) the Unions declare WAR on Republicans, even as Democrats are souring on Obama and talking about oating a challenger... Locally, we worked with the Humboldt Republican Central Committee, and tested the winds with our own straw polls with booths at the Old Town Fourth of July Fair, Rio Dells Wildwood Days and the Humboldt County Fair; all this, and much more! Its been a busy summer. We've been on top of it - so you are, too. Stay up to date on our website hrwf-ca.org.
