Published 12 times during the year on the 1st day of each month.
As you all know, our long awaited Villas & Vineyards Fundraising trip to the
Getty Villa, Santa Monica Pier and the beautiful wine country of Paso Robles was
last weekend. Twenty of us embarked on a luxurious brand new coach for a
very early morning ride to LA all the while dining on delicious quiche, fruits,
mimosas and engaging conversations. Our driver Rick of LD Tours, was such a
delight and as all of us would agree--very easy on the eyes!! The Getty museum
was enthralling, housing so many historical artifacts--truly a sight to see. Early
dining on the Santa Monica Pier--namely Marisol's for Margarita's and Mexican
food for some of us--was a delight, as well. The southern California weather was
just as it always is supposed to be--beautiful! The 3 hour ride to Paso Robles was
pleasant enough whether some watched movies or just watched the beautiful
scenery as we drove along the coastline in the quiet comfort of our coach. Soon we
would all be sound asleep in our rooms, looking forward to another fun-filled day
touring Hearst's Castle, enjoying the wines of several local vineyards and or
exploring the many activities of the Olive Festival in town. However, as you will
read in the accompanying letter, one of our members experienced a medical
emergency that would bring all of us a little closer and retrospective of how
fortunate we were to be in Paso Robles, CA when help was in need. We are all very thankful that our dear
friend fully recovered. Thank you all for your caring thoughts and actions on her behalf. And I'm so grateful to
be a part of this great club! Mo, take it from here........

Part I ....... A. Back off and let those men who want to marry men, marry men. B. Allow those women who want to marry women, marry women. C. Allow those folks who want to abort their babies, abort their babies. D. In three generations, there will be no Democrats. I love it when a plan comes together!
Part II: 10 Poorest Cities in America and how did it happen? City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level 1. Detroit , MI 32.5% 2. Buffalo , NY 29.9% 3. Cincinnati , OH 27.8% 4. Cleveland , OH 27.0% 5. Miami , FL 26.9% 5. St. Louis , MO 26.8% 7. El Paso , TX 26.4% 8. Milwaukee , WI 26.2% 9. Philadelphia , PA 25.1% 10. Newark , NJ 24.2% What do the top ten cities (over 250,000) with the highest poverty rate all have in common?
Part III: "You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away peo-ple's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves." ~ Abraham Lincoln **************************** "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by let-ting the government take care of him had better take a closer look at the American Indian." ~ Henry Ford
**Detroit , MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a
Republican mayor since 1961
**Buffalo , NY (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.' It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats .. yet they are still POOR.

I am a Republican because…
I believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s
dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
I believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of
race, creed, sex, age or disability
I believe free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this na-
tion opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.
I believe government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to
keep more of the money they earn.
I believe the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those criti-
cal functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and
that the best government is that which governs least.
I believe the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government
closest to the people.
I believe Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while de-
veloping new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.
I believe Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride
while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.
Finally, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ide-
als into positive and successful principles of government.
