Our Mission
Active Republican Women (ARW) of Las Vegas Nevada is a women’s
political organization, bringing together women to positively impact the
direction of our state and our nation.
We come together as a collective force advancing the Republican Party
and women through political access and participation.
Published 12 times during the year on the 1st day of each month.
As dedicated Republican women, many of us long time members of Active Republican Women, we all realize the future of our club lies with our youth. So how proud we are to have Jennifer Barrier as an active member who also represents ARW as our Communications/Public Relations Committee Chairman. Jennifer is a very committed conservative and currently a UNLV Business major which could make her an oddity at most of today's college campuses. But, Jennifer knows the meaning of hard work as she holds down a full time job while pursuing her degree full time, as well. As Communications Chair, she keeps our website up to date, writes passionately on ARW's facebook page and keeps everyone in the conservative know on Twitter. She may even want to run for office someday. Jennifer is the future of ARW and through her young wisdom, she will inspire more of her peers to see the light of what truly makes our country and our Constitution great. It is for this reason, I asked to use a piece from Jennifer's insight, and posted on our ARW facebook page about the differences between Republicans and Democrats. As my first, of more to come, guest writers for the President's message, it is with great pleasure this month to publish the following message from our very own---Jennifer C. Barrier. Thank you, Jennifer. " Cherie Wood, President What Differentiates Republicans and Democrats? By Jennifer Barrier If you were walking down the sidewalk and somebody came up to you and asked you what differentiates a Democrat and a Republican, how would you answer? Could you give that person a logical enough answer that when he walks away, he is fully informed enough to formulate his own conclusions and govern their beliefs accordingly? Is that person governed by conscience, or conviction? Is there a difference?
A Republican is generally a conservative who is governed by their convictions. They believe in the Jeffersonian ideal of limited government, a free-market economy, and the rugged individualism that forged this nation into the powerhouse it is today. A Republican believes that Americans are quintessential to the rest of the world, unique among all others. Republicans do not subordinate themselves to the whims and vices of excessive, intrusive, and over-reaching government. They believe that limited government is the best way to incent a society to strive to achieve its full potential by individual achievement, self-reliance, benevolence, perseverance, and toil.

June 2013 Safety Symposium featuring expert speakers on the
essential topics of personal safety, gun safety, cyber safety, and national security. As women we need to learn what we can do to protect ourselves against vio-lence. Our right to own a gun for protection is con-stantly under attack and it is important to know how to safely own and use one. Plus, the nightly news is full of reports of our personal information being hacked or a person's identity being stolen. Come out and learn im-portant ways to protect your information and bank ac-counts. Finally, the status of our national security is constantly changing and we will hear an update on how safe America currently is. More information to come for this exciting event including the Saturday date/time
Within ARW LV I wear two hats. That of Literacy Chair is the better known. The second is that of the Mamie
Eisenhower Library Project (MELP) Chair for ARW. Every two years the National Federation of Republican
draws from a national committee a list of well reviewed books that not only represent our conservative viewpoints,
but sometimes a few books that add balance by presenting opposing views to add some spice and end up
underlining to the list for readers who want a well rounded view of conservative and liberal thinking. The
categories and sub lists of books on the list include books for adults and AP students, books addressing threats to
freedom, defenders of freedom books, fighting for freedom, encounter books, elected officials on freedom, youth
(ages 9 and up), and children (ages 6 and up). Republican Women’s groups around the country are encouraged and
receive recognition for donating books from this list to libraries, book discussion groups, and other pertinent
community groups. Within the last two years ARW has donated books twice from this this to elementary school
libraries. Take a look at the list on the NFRW’s website at: http://www.nfrw.org/documents/literacy/MELP12.pdf
Check out the MELP list. A book drawn from this lists is highlighted regularly
on the NFRW website.
Happy reading!

As you know, this year we are supporting Marion Cahlan-Edison Elementary School. This school has approximately 800 students, most of which are living at, or below. poverty level. The school’s population is highly transient, with a disturbing percentage identified as homeless, or living in a multifamily situation due largely to economic hardship.
The School had received the podium
our club donated & they have already
put it to use. They are very grateful to
ARW for our continuing support.
Amy Negrete, Principle of Cahlan-
Edison Elementary School, mentioned
to me that the next immediate need is
the children need Bermuda Shorts sizes
5-12. And,, of course, the full list of
needed items can be found on pages 20
& 21.
We Republican Women must always do
our part to help our children.

These 11 States now have More People on Welfare than they have Employed!
Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2011, between food stamps, housing support,
child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U..S. household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in
government support. What’s the problem with that much support?
Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day. To put it an-
other way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays
$20.00 an hour.
