Our 38th Annual Advocacy Workshop is upon us. But you can still register! ... We have an exciting program in store! Our Monday luncheon speaker is Katy Grimes, journalist for Cal Watchdog. Katy writes hard hitting stories exposing waste and dishonesty in our government. ◼ CLICK HERE for an archive of Katy’s awesome articles in Cal Watchdog. Also on Monday our brand new CRP Vice Chair Harmeet Dhillon will be joining us! This will be a great opportunity for our members to meet our dynamic, new Republican Party Vice Chair. Tuesday our members will hear from Howard Jarvis Taxpayer’s Association President, Jon Coupal on the attacks being made on our taxpayers by the Democrat majority in our state legislature. Our women and students will also hear from Assembly Republican Leader Connie Conway, Assemblywoman Beth Gaines, Assemblywoman Kristin Olsen, Assemblywoman Shannon Grove and all of our Assembly Republican women members! The theme for our students is ACTIVISM! They will have the opportunity to learn how to be activists for the conservative cause on their campuses and in their cities. In this day and age when our students are being taught revisionist history with a liberal bias in every class, we want to give our Advocacy participants the tools to be able combat liberalism in productive and positive ways. They will be given a class on how to use social media in advancing our cause by Micah Grant from the Senate Republican Caucus. Our student guests will also be hearing from other young students who founded conservative activism clubs on their campuses. The last day to register for Advocacy is Monday, March 25th. You don’t want to miss all this.

Realignment Woes
Governor Brown signed AB 109 in 2011 which released many California criminals back to the streets. Two years later and we are seeing increases in crime rates across the state. These “109ers,” as Senator Jim Nielsen (R) has dubbed them, are committing heinous crimes at an alarming rate. Realignment needs to be fixed. The Senate Republican Caucus took a hard look at realignment. ◼ Read their report HERE.
Spring Recess
