Caring For America Gift Card Project for Fire Victims

Hi ladies, Ann Schmitz and myself met with Karen Molden (President of Novato RWF and members ) to distribute $2,000 dollars in gift cards to families (renters) who have lost everything. We volunteered at St.Vicent De Paul for several hours. These cards will be given to the Sonoma-Santa Rosa area. We have donated an additional $1,000 to Little League in Santa Rosa with gift cards. 110 Little League families lost their homes. Devastating for these young boys to loose all their equipment.

This is such an humbling experience! Thank you ladies of the Northern, Central, and Southern Divisions along with Kansas, Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., Washington, Georgia, Texas, and Iowa. To date we have given $8,500 dollars to Northern California fire victims.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. We are caring for America- Republican women working together to reach out to those who need assistance most.

God Bless you all!

...This isn’t some nutty Middle Eastern ritual going on. The reason it’s all happening now is that a sequence of events is unfolding: one that’s visible on a map, but that there is virtually no reporting on in the U.S.

The sequence of events, taken together, equals Iran completing her land bridge – her military line of communication – across Iraq and into Syria. This is a major shift, one that under the best of circumstances would be a permanently destabilizing, if latent, condition.

But the best of circumstances are not what we face. The U.S. is out of position to contain this situation. No one else can contain it. It will metastasize; the only questions are how, and how fast....

In School Districts Everywhere, Taxpayers Unknowingly Pay Millions to Fund Democrat Campaigns Nationwide https://t.co/zHar6a8xPa

In Douglas County, Colorado, the front line of the fight for school choice and vouchers on the SCOTUS level, Republican voters outnumber Democrats about two to one. Yet until recently, Republican taxpayers in this peaceful suburb south of Denver were unwittingly paying about $1.25 million a year to fund Democrats’ political campaigns.

How so? Most of the district’s 4,300 plus teachers belonged to the local American Federation of Teachers (AFT) union, to which they paid about $1.25 million in dues annually, according to the union’s IRS filings. Since teachers’ salaries are paid by the county’s property tax payers, their dues come out of those salaries. So the $1.25 million annual dues end up in the coffers of the AFT and that money is funneled to the campaigns of Democrats running for office. That’s a lot of Republican-bashing TV campaign commercials and mailers.... especially galling for Douglas County Republicans because 60% of them voted for Donald Trump, even while they were funding Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign through their teachers’ union dues.

What have they been doing with the billions and billions of dollars we've already provided them that they've diverted to other purposes?

Steve Bannon: No one "could have done to the Clintons what Donald Trump did" https://t.co/u2vqRtDUe4 pic.twitter.com/3lfw5LtFeJ

— Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) November 6, 2017

“I think the cultural elite in this country is trying to nullify this election. It’s imperative that we win this fight. That’s why you see in the media today, and Drudge the last couple of days, I’m taking a very aggressive stance. And a very aggressive stance is to make sure that the Republican Party understands something, that Donald Trump was a blunt force instrument that wreaked havoc on the Clinton machine. There is no other candidate, and they had some incredibly qualified people, there is no other candidate that could have done to the Clintons what Donald Trump did,” said Bannon during a brief address at the private University Club.

“His galvanizing this movement put us 20 years ahead of where we’d be if he hadn’t come. He’s a very imperfect person. He’s the first to admit that, but he’s our president and if we back down from this fight, if we roll over from this fight, if we give up on this fight, we’re going to waste something that is very precious to this country because I got to tell you, there’s going to be a fight to nullify every election from here on in,” added the former White House counselor in comments participants provided to Secrets.
