Humboldt Republican Women WelcomeHumboldt County Registrar Of Voters

Carolyn Crnich

This month were at The SAMOA COOKHOUSERSVP by phone: Laura 839-5538... RSVP by email: Margaret [email protected]

11:30 a.m. Lunch/Socializing: Meeting 12:00 -1:00 p.m.

"Carolyn Crnich likes to be second-guessed: The registrar of voters in Humboldt County, Calif.,scans every ballot and makes the election results available, online or on disk, so that anyone,anywhere, can count them.

Community activists do just that. The result: 100 percent audits of the supervisors' results, asharp contrast to Florida, which limits vote counts to a small number of ballots in a single race.

I dont like saying to my constituents, Hey, just trust me, Crnich said. Now, I dont have to.Count them yourself, and if you nd anything out of the ordinary, I want to know.

Voter fraud. It's a hot topic all across the nation. Everyone's worried about it. And thatconcern crosses party lines.

Operating mostly behind the scenes, where the real work is done, her work doesn't receive a lot of press. Yet she is known and recognizednationwide: In the Palm Beach News, award-winning investigative reporter Pat Beall and computer-assisted specialist and reporter AdamPlayford (who are quoted above*) give credit to "Carolyn Crnich and the Humboldt Election Transparency Project as an example of how things cbe done correctly, not only in the Sunshine State, but for the nation as a whole when it comes to verifying election results."

Shes the proud recipient of the 2007 Patriot Award by Redwood Chapter, American Civil Liberties Union, been recognized by the ElectionVerication Network in 2009 for work on Humboldt Election Transparency Project, been named Woman of Achievement by American Associaof University Women, Humboldt Branch, May, and received the Grace Institute Election Integrity Award from the Grace Institute for Democraand Election Integrity and the Threshold Foundation December, 2010.

She says: I enjoys sewing and quilting, especially Sunday afternoon quilting bees with my Mother andsister. I also enjoy duck and pheasant hunting and shooting trap with my husband and friends.The vegetable garden in my back yard is a good barometer of how much time I spend on June elections;it suers in the even-numbered years and is usually more prosperous in odd-numbered years.

Cleaning up the voter rolls, Voter ID, dead (and ctitious) people voting, the eect of Post Oceclosures on vote-by-mail... Everybody talks about it. Some people are doing something about it.You're about to meet one of those people: Carolyn Crnich, Humboldt County Registrar of Voters,

will be speaking on the election process in Humboldt County.* tip: Skippy Massey/Humboldt Sentinel Online

Flag Day--June 14, 2013 Fly your ags!OUR FLAG

This ag, symbol of the hopes of man, this cloth of dreams

for freedom, justice and opportunity, its stars like beacons

guiding us through shoals of adversity,

its stripes like wounds of struggle.

The good in it cannot be had for nothing, though, like any garden,

it must be tended; like any loved one, it must be held, protected

and cherished...Hold high the ag and keep its promise bright, for in it lies the

best of hope for all mankind.( By Mort Walker, Beetle Bailey comic strip.)


3/8

Last January I was invited to a New Years Day Party at the home of some friends. Theyre dearpeople, but there are things we dont bring to the conversation table: God and politics. Thats okay.We have developed a relationship based on mutual interests in other areas such as our love ofanimals. We met at a luncheon sponsored by the League of Women Voters two or three years ago.The common ground on which we have built our friendship led them to totally support my candidacyfor Supervisor in 2012, despite our deep dierences; thus, I have come to honor and love them forwho they are, rather than what they are not.

My sense today is that, in all our walks of life, this philosophy will work well for us personally,

corporately as the HRWF, and in reaching out to those Republicans who are still discouraged, as wellas those not politically akin to us as we take our message forth. I also believe strongly that we mustembrace and internalize this concept if we are to be successful in resurrecting our party locally,statewide, and nationally. No more politics as usual. Let policy triumph over politics! Let us be oneswho unite and not judge. Have your opinions, but choose to reach common ground for the sake ofour county, state, and country. It must start somewhere; let it begin here.

We are here to inform through intelligent and honorable discourse that which we espouse. Despiteour election losses, its time to move on and rebuild. As Republican Women, we have the responsibili-ty to be informed of our club history, some American history, and current events. This is our weapon-ry. With this armor, we walk wise as serpents and gentle as doves as we seek to bring members intoHWRF and into the Humboldt GOP. Its time as well to rise up and be part of a venue that gives us theopportunity to do just this. We must support our Central Committee in providing volunteers for thesummer and fall events coming our way, which will include parades, fairs, and membership recruit-ments. Ill be sharing more of this with you at our next meeting.Speaking of our meeting June 20th, we are gathering at the Samoa Cookhouse where Carolyn Crnich,County Recorder, will be sharing information regarding voter fraud. We know that both parties havebeen accused of it. Now we will be able to hear current information of how - at least in HumboldtCounty - it is being combated. It is also interesting to note that our RCC Fundraiser is that evening atthe Blue Lake Casino Sapphire Room and John Fund will be speaking on the same topic. John Fund hasalso written a book on voter fraud and you will be able to purchase it and have it signed by him as well.

Please clear your calendar for both events. You will not be disappointed.Warmest regards,

ScandalpaloozaJim Geraghty of National Review points out that all of

Obamas scandals are ultimately about information control.Its a common thread if one studies each scandal.

Fast and FuriousThe rst scandal you probably havent heard about: President Obama invoked ExecutivPrivilege to keep Attorney General Eric Holder from having to answer questions about abotched gunrunning scheme that put weapons in the hands of Mexican Drug Lords. Sosuspect the gunrunning was a scheme in the Obama admins inexorable push for guncontrol. When one of the guns was used to kill U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, theoperation came to light. Whistleblowers came forward with documents, but the ensuininvestigation, led by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), has reached a dead end because theObama administration has invoked executive privilege.

Robert Heyer, Terry's cousin, who operates the HonorBrianTerry.com foundation, says, "call upon this administration to release those 80,000 documents and allow the Terry

family and the rest of the American public to understand why Operation Fast & Furiouswas put into place and why the administration denied, specically the Justice Depart-ment, denied that this operation ever took place for three months," said Heyer.

BenghaziIn the last month, the whistleblowers came forward to expose the lies that have beenposited about what happened in Benghazi. Roger L. Simon points out that, "accordingthe diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton."

They veried what was already suspected: It had absolutely nothing to do with a videoYet, Hillary, Obama, and his spokespeople pushed that stor y hard. Liz Klimas at The Blaznotes: "And why did they think they could get away with it? Because as Andrew McCarthynoted at NRO, they had always gotten away with lying in the past. There was no reason fothem to think they wouldn't get away with it again."Charles Krauthammer believes the10:00 pm phone call between Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama could be the biggestscandal of all. Stay tuned over the summer, as this and the other scandals unfold.

Emmy-award winning CBS News investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson has led thecharge to get to the truth on this and the Fast and Furious investigation; she has manymore questions, and is the one to watch.

IRS: Worse Than WatergateWhen it rst came out that the IRS was targeting Tea Party groups who had applied for501(c)3 status, it was largely ignored. Not until Mark Levin's Landmark Legal Foundatioled suit did anyone take it seriously. But, once the lid was o, the story has snowballe

"I don't know." "I don't remember." "I'm not familiar with that detail."

"It's not my precise area." "I'm not familiar with that letter."

As we go to press, Darrell Issa has released partial transcripts that show Cincinnatiemployees stating that they were instructed to search for Tea Party and conser vative cabecause Washington DC wanted them. The campaign targeting conservative organiza-tions seeking tax-exempt status lasted at least 18 months. Despite early attempts by IR

"What dierence, at thispoint, does it make?"

Hillary Clinton's brazen faux angerdeected Congressional investigatorsfrom pressing their questions aboutevents surrounding the brutal killing ofour Ambassador Chris Stevens (and threeothers: Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty, and

Sean Smith) in Benghazi. But the investi-gation isn't over, and she is likely to becalled back.

Taking the Fifth.Lois Lerner, the former director of theInternal Revenue Services exempt-organi-zations division, rst tried to dodge thequestions, and ended up taking the Fifthrather than continue to answer questions.

The American people have a right to knowboth how deep and how high the corruption

of our government runs. The White Househas an interest in minimizing the scandal,and surely that is Obama's objective if he istrying to throw Lerner under the bus. Let'sreserve judgment on her and make sure notto let o the hook the man whose re-election the IRS's abuse of power helpedto advance.

ocials to blame this one on low-level "rogue agents"in Cincinnati, the subsequentunfolding of facts shows it to be anything but.

Turns out Former IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman's wife not only campaigned forObama, and was part of Occupy, but works for a left-wing anti-Tea Party activist groupcalled 'Public Campaigns.'

June 3rd, Twitchyreports that: According to Drudge editor and Washington Timescolumnist Joseph Curl, the IRS scandal is far from over. He says some of his top Hill

sources told him that low-level agency workers arent happy about being blamed formisconduct and are about to return re at higher-ups in Washington, D.C.

Moreover, one of Curls sources says there is a paper trail to DC. Not all the way to theWhite House, but high up.

Tom McClintock posted his thoughts on Facebook: "Demanding the names of all thevolunteers and donors in these nearly 500 organizations. In some cases, they weredemanding the names of family members and associates. They demanded the names of

students at the Leadership Institute, which is a group that simply brings together youngpeople to educate them in founding principles of our country.

What are all of these names? How are these names being used? Why is it that the IRS is

xated on getting the names of all of the people that have in any way associated them-selves with organizations whose only crime has been they disagree with the currentadministration?"

PhonetappingWhen the N.Y. Times editorial board says the Obama administration is threatening pressfreedom, you know something has gone seriously wrong.

In the case of the AP, the Obama administration secretly subpoenaed phone-call logs andother information; with Foxs James Rosen, they got an actual warrant to read his email,and targeted his parents as well,

A Daily Beastarticle reads: The press-punishing, speech-chilling, and unabashedlyoverreaching actions by the Obama administration against theAssociated Press and FoxNews Channels James Rosen lay bare the essential dynamic between any president and apress that is always more prone to being lapdogs than watchdogs: the president feeds orpunishes them as he sees t, while chanting a bogus rosary about national security.

To make matters worse, as the news broke that the Obama administration was secretlytargetingAP, FOX, and New York Times reporters, Attorney General Eric Holder tried to holda closed door, o-the-record meeting with journalists, and most news organizationsturned him down, saying they refused to meet unless he agreed to do it out in the openand on the record. It's encouraging, and we will be bringing you the news as thingsdevelop over the summer.

True The Vote!True The Vote's Catherine Englebrecht andher husband were targeted by the ObamaIRS scandal. They are small businessowners in Texas, and were desperatelytrying to hang on to their oil industrysupport business that was already beingstrangled by policies of the Obamaadministration...when the IRS showed up.Catherine was apparently spotted by IRSauditors when she tried to expand her TeaParty eort into the more formal, "TrueThe Vote."** The harassment, nancialthreats, invasion of privacy, and emotionatoll on their family, now puts them at thecenter of legal action against the IRS.

(Kitchen Cabinet)

Easter Egg Roll

Asked why he had visited the White House157 times*, 100 more times than formerSecretary of State Hillary Clinton and othertop ocials, Shulman answered, "Easteregg roll..." HotAirnotes: The massivenumber of visits raises serious questionsabout Shulmans activities in the WhiteHouse. As IRS commissioner, he reportedto Tim Geithner at Treasury, not anyone inthe West Wing.* According to Shift Frequency, from 2003 to 2007, the acting IRS

Commissioner visited the Bush White House only a single time.
