Presidents Message

James Wilson was one of only six founders

to have signed both the Declarationof Independence and the Constitution. Hepronounced in his law lectures at theUniversity of Pennsylvania: Far from beingrivals or enemies, religion and laware twin sisters, friends, and mutualassistants.Not surprisingly, throughout Americanhistory up until the middle years of thetwentieth century, government lookedpositively on both religion and morality.

Various states worked out particulararrangements re ecting their speci ccircumstances, but in each case, religiousfreedom was respected while religionwas looked upon as part of the commongood, a seedbed of virtue, contributingto American society.

National LegislationEnsuring the integrity of the elec

e had a productive day at the CFRW Leadership ConfereOur luncheon speaker, Catharine Baker, shared somethinDONT VOTE BY ABSENTEE BALLOT!!! As an atto

poll watcher and an observer during a recount. What she saw waand I did it once, then quit because we were afraid the postal servSeems, now, that is the least of our worries. There are quite a fewtency and at-out cheating that put the wrong persons in o ce. H1. Absentee ballots can be mailed back or handed in to your precSounds innocent enough, right? Wrong. You need to know the cosignature must be on the outside of the ballot and the ballot MUStray for absentee ballots. Many precinct workers dont check for is necessary. If you are turning in multiple ballots from the sameknow that you are one of the people living at that address. Manyabsentee ballots in the same ballot box as regular ballots. THIS Iare supposed to be scrutinized. If they are placed in the regular btaken out.

2. At the election headquarters, absentee ballots are supposed to procedure to insure that the person it was mailed to is the person the signature becomes very important. Depending on the particuhandled di erently, which is against the law. The signature-verifylevels for checking the ballot signature with the signature on the o ces, with shabby procedures, set the machines at lowest level checks only one likeness between signatures. Additionally, the msignatures at a time and the worst o ces examine 500 signaturesignature every .4 seconds. If your name starts with an M and bothat is similar, it is deemed authentic. A viewer is supposed to wthink the signatures dont match, they set them aside for further speople examine them individually and if they disagree, the ballot

The best o ces (1) set the machines at the highest level, level 3, (examine each signature, and (3) looked for three points of referenbe done. Catharine only observed two o ces that did it the corretook the easy and lazy way out.While these election o ces were in California, this type of thing election around our nation. Ever wonder how your candidate is pelection, then is ahead on election night, only to lose during themysteriously a trunkful of boxes just happen to materialize durinsending your candidate down to defeat. Very strange how the newdemocrat! My suggestionvolunteer to be a poll watcher AND in the next electionthat is, if you want the person who actuallyvotes to take the oath of o ce!There has been an ongoing outcry from the right for photo IDs tolegitimate. The Left screams discrimination for minorities and pthe U.S. Supreme Court disagree. Justice Stevens, far from beingwrote the opinion that photo IDs do not discriminate against anyoID requirements in place, minorities voted in greater numbers thanot have the requirement. The government could issue an ID phothey cant a ord one, or who have no drivers license. Funny howagainst photo IDs to board a plane or attend high school or collegphoto IDs for ALL VOTERS!

Senate Republicans had presented an entire package of substantiveregulatory reform legislation during the 2011 legislative session. Thepackage clearly addressed the systemic aws with the cumbersomeregulatory regimes in this state. These were serious measures to notonly help bring the burdensome regulatory process under control and

make it more responsive to the needs of Californians, but also to review,modify and eliminate obsolete, duplicative and con icting regulationsalready on the books.Clearly any serious regulatory reform needs to include a review of existing regulationsnot just tinkering with the drafting process.Unfortunately, none of these measures were allowed or even consideredby the majority who controls the states business.When a bureaucracy comes along and uses the strong arm of govern-ment to impose new rules on business, it is only right that it generates athorough, reliable scal analysis of the economic impact of thatregulation, if implemented. This is especially the case when theeconomic impact is believed to be more than $50 million statewide. An

economic impact of this nature is, in essence, a tax on business whichinevitably is passed on to the consumer in the form of higher prices.

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?"Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way:

I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call mecapitalism. Your Mom, she's the administrator of

the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're hereto take care of your needs, so we'll call you the people.The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And

your baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now,think about that and see if that makes sense,"

So the little boy goes o to bed thinkingabout what dad had said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying,so he gets up to check on him. He nds that the

baby has badly soiled his diaper.

So the little boy goes to his parents' room andnds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake

her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the doorlocked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in

bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.The next morning, the little boy says to his father,"Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."

The father says, "Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about." The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism

is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep doodoo."
