M EM BER OF N EVAD A F ED ER AT IO N

OF R EPU BL I CAN W OMEN

I wanted to give a big Thank You to member

Brenda Flank, founder of the Conservative

Alliance for Community Growth, who so

brilliantly stepped in at the last minute as our

President’s Day/Black History Month sole

speaker on February 21st. Brenda very

eloquently conveyed the message of the GOP’s

history of championing civil rights on behalf of

all minority people and that most in their

communities can and do have the same

conservative values of the Republican Party.

Messaging, however, is indeed the way to

transition that message effectively. I say

nothing could be truer for our cause but there

are other ways, as well.

Republicans are at a structural disadvantage

within the Electoral College. Democrats start

out with California and New York in their

column and 220 electoral votes in the bag

every single election. Do you want to end

voter fraud for the future of conservative

politics? We already have documented proof of

entire precincts voting 120% for the Obama

Ticket in the last election and in other

precincts, not ONE vote being cast for the

Romney ticket. I’d say those are pretty

unbelievable odds even given the

circumstances of their battleground state status.

So let’s lobby to have “Winner Take All by

Congressional District”! This would in no

way dismantle the Electoral College and it is

totally constitutional. It’s Federalism as its best

and preserves the Electoral College and

empowers the states. In fact, Maine and

Nebraska already do this. You see, State

Legislatures have been given the power

under Article Two Section One of the

Constitution to award their electors in the

manner they see fit. Founding Father

James Madison said states should award

their electors in the way that derives the

most benefit for their state. For America’s

first 150 years, states awarded electors in

various ways; winner take all for the

whole state, winner take all by

Congressional District; proportionally,

sometimes, even the Legislatures

themselves would just decide who would

get their Electoral votes.

It wasn’t until the early 20th century that

Progressives popularized the “Winner

Take All” rule that we have in most states

today. In other words, if you win the

popular vote in a state, you get all the

Electors in that state. Conservatives have been

paying the price ever since. Michigan, Ohio,

Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin alone

would have shifted around 65-70 electoral

votes into Romney’s column depending on

how you look at the map. And that doesn’t

even account for Florida.

President’s Message Continued from Page 1… Let’s put it another way: If those states had operated this way, Mitt Romney would have won the Election. What

the current system has given us is ten “Battleground States” deciding the election every year. This has led to a

Federal Government empowered to trample on the rights of citizens in non-battleground states without political

consequence, while they buy off the voters in the Battleground States. Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and

Wisconsin all have Republican Governors and control of the Legislature right now. That will likely never happen

again in our lifetime. The Virginia Legislature is currently considering this measure.

This message by Ken Blackwell of the Tea Party Victory Fund and others are flooding these State Legislatures

with calls and letters in support of this bill, letting Legislators know that this bill has their support. We have a

historic opportunity right now to put another 65-70 electoral votes into the GOP column and hold our leaders

accountable.

Even though Nevada’s Legislature is not Republican controlled, we do have a “Republican” Governor who

should consider supporting the same measure for our state. We are, after all, not California…….yet!

Cherie Wood

Special Announcement In case you missed it...It is my great pleasure to tell you that ARW has implemented the PayPal

online payment system! This is especially exciting because this process will make our RSVP’s,

meal payments and membership dues payable through our website! We also offer credit card

payments at check-in! I’m so excited to bring all this new technology to our club which should

make check in much faster and with greater ease. We also want to encourage everyone to start

paying ahead for your reservation either through the PayPal system or by sending your checks to

our mailing address…889 So Rainbow Ste. #146, LV 89145—please go to the website

The Republican Party History

From the Beginning

Abolishing slavery. Free speech. Women's suffrage. In today's stereotypes, none of these

sounds like a typical Republican issue, yet they are stances the Republican Party, in

opposition to the Democratic Party, adopted early on.

Reducing the government. Streamlining the bureaucracy. Returning power to the states.

These issues don't sound like they would be the promises of the party of Lincoln, the party

that fought to preserve the national union... Click here for full article

Something to think about...

Caring for America...Barbara Altman

Meriam-Webster Dictionary Definitions

Politically Correct: conforming to a belief that language and practices which could offend someone’s political sensibilities--should be eliminated.

Double Standard: a set of principles that applies differently and usually more rigorously to one group of people or circumstances than to another. Covet: To desire (what belongs to another) inordinately or culpably Culpable (culpably): meriting condemnation or blame especially as wrong or harmful

Surprising how all these societal “Progressive” beliefs are used so

effectively today in controlling American citizen’s thoughts through

media, politicians and certain acceptable organizations.

Cherie

This year we will be 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 needs of these children are many and varied. I am hoping that throughout the year our Active Republican Women will step up and lend support to these needy children. Following is an excerpt of the school’s wish list. To see the full list Click Here. Clothing, Backpacks, Hats, Coats,

Shoes Copy Paper, Pencils, Sharpeners, Mini Whiteboards w/Markers Microphone/Music stands, Podiums Kindles, Mimi iPads, iPad protective

cover Flashdrives (for teachers) Recognition Certificates, Testing prizes

(pizza party, ice cream social) Teacher Appreciation Luncheon Physical Ed Supplies (see list) Musical Instruments (see list)

In addition to items, your time is also appreciated. A couple of upcoming activities that you might consider donating time to are: Career Day: Friday, March 22nd from

8:00—10:30 a.m. Anyone who would like to speak to the students about their careers and accomplishments is welcome.

Nevada Reading Week: Feb 25—Mar

1. Come in and read to the students or bring books.

If you can find the time to contribute to either of these events, please let me know and I will add your name to the list. Thank you for support, Caring for America Chairman Barbara Altman

INTERNET SAFETY FOR KIDS AND TEENS

This article is the third of three planned articles on Internet literacy and safety. Judging by the amount of information

that Is available on the topic of Internet safety for our children this article will only touch upon some of the important

tips plus point ARW members to some websites for further ideas and activities to keep our next generation safe in the

world of electronic information.

The following are some everyday safety tips for children using the Internet:

For younger children use content blockers and filters. This type of software scans the Internet sites for images

and blocks those that contain certain key phrases.

For older teens there is tracking software. Tracking software allows parents and supervising adults to track the

teenager’s path online. By using this type of software it lets the teen know you trust them and gives them more

freedom online while at the same time lets an adult see if the student is using appropriate sites while online.

It is important to remain vigilant. Even when using filters, and content trackers kids figure out ways to get

around them.

Talk to your kids about what to do when something inappropriate or scary pops up on the Internet. Not all adult

sites post industry ratings identifiable by blocker and tracker software.

Adult supervision and involvement cannot always be replaced by any software. Continue to monitor what your

kids do online regularly without stepping into the role of an Internet cop.

If a child uses a mobile device monitoring Internet use will be more difficult to control and monitor. Keep

communication lines open with the child.

Some useful sites for Internet Safety for children and teens:

Internet Safety Tips for Elementary School Kids:

http://www.commonsensemedia.org/advice-for-parents/internetsafety-tips-elementary-school-kids

This site gives suggestions, safety tips, strategies and activities for elementary school aged online users.

Safety Tips from the FBI:

http://www.fbi.gov/fun-games/kids/kids-safety

The FBI website presents not only online safety tips for kids, but a history of the FBI, about their police dogs, games,

what it is like to belong to the FBI, how to investigate a crime and much more.

Net Smartz Workshop:

http://www.netsmartz.org/internetsafety.

This is a website that gives some basics on preventing cyberbullying, exposure to inappropriate material, online

predators, and revealing too much information. A rich collection of many other current topics and discussions can

be found on this site.

Parent Further:

http://www.parentfuther.com/technology-media/online-safety/computer.

A site that speaks directly to parents.

Net Literacy:

http//www.netliteracy.org/safe-connects/safe-connects-psas/

Young Net Literacy volunteers present a series of public service announcements in short videos on all aspects of

Internet safety. It is an extremely well done website.

ARW Message Board

You know you live in a Country

run by idiots if…

1. You can get arrested for expired tags on

your car but not for being in the country

illegally.

2. Your government believes that the best

way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt

is to spend trillions more or our money.

3. The government’s plan for getting people

back to work is to provide 99 weeks of un-

employment checks (to not work).

4. Politicians think that stripping away the

amendments to the constitution is really

protecting the right of the people.

5. The rights of the Government come before

the rights of the individual.

6. Being stripped of the ability to defend

yourself makes you “safe”.

7. You have to have your parents signature to

go on a school field trip but not to get an

abortion.

8. Being self-sufficient is considered a threat

to the government.

9. Hard work and success are rewarded with

higher taxes and government intrusion,

while slothful, lazy behavior is rewarded

with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid,

subsidized housing, and free cell phones.

10. You can write a post like this just by read-

ing the news headlines.
