When we read the papers and hearso much disturbing news, dont yousometimes feel the world is fallingapart? Even so, we do not need totremble. As believers, our feet areon an unshakable, solid Rock thatcannot be moved. Even if the waybecomes slippery, we can rest

knowing that the grip of the Creatorof the universe is far greater thanours.

When problems threaten ourfeeling of stability and safety, wecan face our insecurities from aposition of faith.

In Psalms, chapter 46, we read:He isnt a distant God far away, He isa loving Father who longs to lingernear us and have us lean on Him

in our time of need.

As Republican women whodevote our time and eort to seeour nation remain a nation underGod, let us gain that calm assuranceand abide in His faithful promises.

HRWF donates books to local schools

As seen in The Humboldt Beacon: For the past three years, our chapter of Republican Women hasbeen very generous to local schools. The first year, we were able to donate books to Lafayette andAlice Birney Elementary Schools, both classrooms and libraries, and to Zane Middle School.

Last year, our books went to Fortuna Middle School and Pacific Union Elementary School. This year, Idelivered books to Fortuna Elementary and Ferndale High School.

In this time of great budget constraints for our schools, this is a most worthwhile project. Theteachers and librarians are so very grateful for our support. They always want me to pass on theirappreciation to you.

Education co-chair

Economists A. Biggs, K. Hasset and M. Jacksonof the American Enterprises Institute recentlyanalyzed over 37 years of the history of decit

reduction plans of 21 countries.On average, countries following a 50/50 plan to cuttaxes and increase taxes, failed completely to closetheir deficits.

Why is this study important for Californians today?

We are over one-half trillion dollars in debt and thisvery plan that has failed so miserably is whatMoonbeam Brown is attempting to put into place.

Go figure !!!

Fortuna Elementary: Jeff Northern, Principal, Mary Dishmon,librarian. The students are Claudia Velasco and Zahid Olea. Ferndale High: Pictured from left to right are Kassidy Allardice,Stephanie Lentz, Librarian Leanne McCullough and Mary Scott.

CFRW:The CFRW Spring Board of Director's Meetinand Conference is followed by Advocacy Day at our StatCapitol. Several hundred women from CFRW throughouthe State of California converge on the state Capitol inSacramento to lobby legislators (Republican andDemocrat alike) to sponsor, support or defeat bills whichare important to the issues they follow.

In the 1990's a new facet was added to Advocacy Day anwe invited High School students to participate in legislative action and awareness in our State Capitol. This hasbecome a traditional part of our event and an excitingopportunity for students to see and hear how our Stategovernment works.

CFRW welcomes your active participation in the mostexciting, progressive and effective movement of anywoman's political organization!

Note:Debbie and Gwen are working oncontacting kids from 8th grade to 20 years old

to attend ADVOCACY in Sacramento.

s I have watched the happenings in Wisconsin, manthings come to mind. You have teachers who havelied to their employers. Doctors who took an oath t

be ethical have dishonored the medical profession. Teachspeaking on television stating that bring their students to

the capital is teaching democracy. The out-of-control indviduals that have taken over the capital building anddisrupting their state government are being called heroeFinally, 14 Democratic Senators in Wisconsin leave theirstate so they dont have to vote. Actually, they are all beinhailed as heroes by the media and others.

I remember when the great San Francisco Representativecalled the people of the United States, Astroturf when thcame out in droves to protest the governments over reacing into their lives. She is presently cheering this group anis telling reporters, I stand in solidarity with Wisconsinworkers fighting for their rights. President Obama is eve

weighing in on this calling Governor Walkers reasonableproposals an assault.

I understand that the teachers, who called in sick and theshowed up to the rally to protest, could be fired. To remedthe possible firings enter four doctors. They set up tablesstanding ready with clipboards to write excuses for theselying individuals. Apparently, three of these doctors are othe University of Wisconsin Medical Hospitals staff -- onebeing the head of the department of medical ethics andanother being a senior resident. Hummmmm does thatmake you wonder about how ethical the ethics are that a

being taught? A doctors sick note is a very serious docu-ment. This note is the final proof of an employees illness.The doctor is the medically qualified third party and thisgroup of doctors has denigrated one of the well-recognizrights and privileges of their profession.

These rallies or protests (Im not even sure what to call themare popping up all over the land. In Sacramento, one unionperson was cited for assault and some reports say a Tea Parperson was injured. I could only find one account of theinjury but several news outlets did verify the assault citatioknow if the Tea Party had taken over the state capitol in

Wisconsin as the Students for Democracy (SDS) did, we wohave heard a different story coming from the media.

As we wait to see the outcome in Wisconsin. I do believe wwill see many more governors taking the same or similaractions as Governor Walker. However, I dont think the pubemployees need to worry in California -- given the one parsystem we have adopted and the desire of the voting pubto raise taxes on the so called wealthy. Just who are thewealthy and what is the publics definition of wealthy?

Well, my fellow Californians, get braced for a very bumpyroad ahead.
