Eric Golub's message couldn't bemore timely! National Labor LeaderJimmy Hoa calls for WAR on Repub-licans, warming up the Labor Daycrowd for Barack Obama, saying

"Let's take these sons of bitches out."

Eric tackles this head kind of thinghead-on in his book: "Ideologicalbigotry is the hatred of people simplydue to their political or ideologicalbeliefs. Ideological bigotry is every bitas destructive as racial or ethnicbigotry, but receives far less attention.

Conservatives disagree with liberals.Liberals despise conservatives. Theyhate them.... Liberals hate conserva-

tives for emerely existing and breath-ing air.

Ideological bigotry must be handledin the same way as all other bigotry:With swift, loud condemnation andfull throttled self-defense"

We can read his full-throttleddefense at the Washington Times

Communities Online, World NetDaily, and Donne Tempo MagaziHe's written for Andrew Breitbart"Big Hollywood," Tucker CarlsonsDaily Caller, and has been pub-

lished by the Jewish Journal andJewish Policy Center. CommentaMagazine and Pajamas Media hahim on their blogroll. (As do we: on our blogroll at hrwf-ca.org)

His message is more important nthan ever before. Please JOIN US lunch! Bring friends. Details belo

Is It Time For FairTax?Are you getting tired of the Class Warfare that keeps creeing into your everyday life? I know Im tired of hearing Taxthe rich and Tax all those making over $250,000 per year.have never been envious of the rich but have always aspirto be one. I believe if you work hard, make good choices,

that you too may become rich! I know Im trying to do thaso enough of this mantra.

The Fair Tax may make everyone love the rich as the moreyou buy the more you pay in taxes. The tax rate would be

23% but it would abolish all federal, personal and corpora

income taxes, gift and estate tax, capital gains, alternativeminimum, Social Security, Medicare, and self-employmenttaxes. This means that there would be no withholding fromyour paycheck and you get to take more money home.

The most obvious advantage of the Fair Tax is the eliminatof the annual income tax headache and cost of tax prepartion. Government spending would be reduced by eliminatthe IRS. Some believe since workers would keep 100% oftheir wages, the increased consumer spending would leadan increase in GDP, jobs, productivity, and wages.

To oset the impact on those at poverty level or below, arebate (prebate) would be given on a monthly basis. In 20the poverty guideline for a family of four was $21,000. TheFair Tax Act of 2008 proposed to remove the marriage penalty and thus would have raised the income amount to$27,380. This means a family of four would have received

check for $525 per month, or $6,297 a year, to cover the coof the sales tax.

This tax would only tax us on what we choose to spend onnew goods or services, not on what we earn. If you choose

buy used goods used car, used home, used appliances

you do not pay the tax. A business owner or farmer buyinsomething for strictly business purposes (not for personalconsumption) would pay no consumption tax. The tax wobe charged just as state sales taxes are today. When youdecide what to buy and how much to spend, you would seexactly how much you would be contributing to the govement with each purchase. This sounds good to me.

------------------------Two Views:

President Obama has just conrmed that the DC earthquakeoccurred on a rare and obscure fault line, apparently known as...

"Bush's Fault"....

Scientists have just reported that there was no earthquake inD.C. last month. Studies show that it was, in fact,

our Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves....---------------

Americas rstprinted book

When the Pilgrim Fathersarrived at Plymouth, Massa-

chusetts, the inuence ofthe Bible and their Christian

faith over their lives and

literature came with them.A mere 20 years later, theBay Psalm Book, originallytitled, The Whole Booke of

Psalmes Faithfully Translatedinto English Metre, wasprinted in 1640 in Cam-

bridge, Mass. It was the rstbook printed in the colonies

as well as the rst bookentirely written in the colo-nies. The rst printing press

in New England was pur-chased and imported spe-

cically to print this volume.The book represented asacred value held by the

Puritansa faithful transla-tion of Gods word to besung in worship by the

entire congregation. Given

the harsh living condition ofthose early years, it was aremarkable achievement.

Ironic, isnt it? The rstbook printed in our nation is

not allowed in our publicstate schools today.

From the CalWatch Dog.com. website with John Hrabe come detailed articles regarding theCalifornia Redistricting Committee. He claims the committee was instructed to produce ungerrymandered districts. Instead, it was riddled with partisan gamesmanship. One Committeemember charged in an exclusive interview that the committee broke the law.

Corruption, failed vetting and Democrats in charge oered no transparency and deals were mad

behind closed doors. The accusations above look like accurate discriptions of the district in whichwe now reside.

Public employees work fewer hours than other employees because they have more dayso. Typically, the public sector jobs in California work a four-day week or less. They can retire at younger age, often between 50-55, with pensions indexed for ination of 75- 90 % of their nalsalary.

The system has to change. Ending public sector collective bargaining is the answer to theproblem. These pensions are bankrupting cities and this state. Although change is needed, itseems unlikely those who created the problem will solve it.

State pension funds currently control $432 billion in assets and suered a $109.7 billion loss in2008-09.

Ways& Means

Ways& Means

Redistricting UpdatThe Democrat Party Expands Its Statewide Cont

I, for one, was hopeful that a citizen commission would fairly dole out dist

and make signicant improvements to break up this one-party controlled

state. Now that the commissions work is done and they have submitted t

maps to the Secretary of State, I fear were going to miss the good ole day

gerrymandered districts drawn by our Legislature.

Be careful what you wish for, echoes in my head. In 2008, voters thou

we were taking away the Legislatures responsibility of redistricting and

placing it in the hands of fourteen non-partisan, neutral voters. Unfortuna

were on the politically correct left coast, so the selection process cant hel

but be awed. Last year, a special panel was convened to narrow an appli

pool to about 60, with our Legislature eliminating about a third of those

applicants before the State Auditor randomly picked the nal eight, and

then those eight picked the nal six.

This experiment, in hindsight, has some fatal aws. The process focuse

too heavily on minority, non-engaged (in politics) applicants at the expen

the most qualied people. The second fatal aw is that the commissionwanted specic citizen input, namely the communities of interest. They w

looking for minority ethnic communities, not necessarily economic or soc

or even geographic communities. They were not looking at voter registra

or voter turn-out either. And nally, the party in control controls everythin

this state.

The commission has been focusing on race and, while this is an importa

factor, it shouldnt be the determining factor in legislative districts. This fac

alone could be grounds for a challenge. States are allowed to have their o

guidelines for redistricting, but they must consider a handful of federal

guidelines:

Districts must be relatively the same size. There cannot be racial gerrymandering.

Districts cannot dilute the minority vote.

The districts must take into account certain criteria, including political sub

sion lines, compactness, contiguity, and communities of interest.

To challenge the new district maps there are two remedies:

Within 45 days of nal certication of the maps,

any registered California voter may le a challenge

to the nal maps in the California Supreme Court.

The 45-day period ends on September 29th.

Within 90 days of the nal certication of the maps,

a referendum petition may be led regarding any mapor portion of a map. The 90-day period to request a title

and summary from the Attorney General, collect the

required voter signatures, and le the petitions with

county elections ocials ends on November 13, 2011.

The nal maps for the Northcoast region are not good.

The Congressional District (CD02) has captured the entire

oast from the Golden Gate Bridge to Oregon, including

Trinity County and excluding Santa Rosa. In doing so, it

merges with Marin and retiring progressive Representative

ynn Woolseys district. Mike Thompson will run in his

new, home-area district which leaves an open seat here.

49.9% Democrat, 22.75% Republican, and 21.21% Decline

o State.

To date, three candidates have announced running.One is Assemblyman Jared Human, an environmental

ttorney from Marin. Norman Solomon, a progressive

uthor/activist from Marin who Sean Penn recently

tumped for. The third candidate to announce is Susan

Adams, a Marin County supervisor and nurse. So far, Jared

Human is the favorite, having raised twice that of Solo-

mon. You can pretty much bet that our Representative will

be a progressive from Marin and that county will have its

way with the entire district.

The Assembly District (AD02) is very similar to the CD02

but doesnt go farther south than Hwy 12 in Santa Rosa.Two Democrat Assemblymen are now in this district,

areer-politician Wes Chesbro and newcomer Michael

Allen. The district now leaves out Lake County and

xtends further south. Eureka is no longer the largest city

n the district. 46.45% Democrat, 25.73% Republican, and

0.78% Declined To State.

The State Senate seat (SD02) starts at the Golden Gate

ridge and goes along the coast to Oregon. It also

ncludes Lake and Trinity County, with Santa Rosa carved

ut. Del Norte and Trinity County are not happy about

osing Doug LaMalfa for Noreen Evans. The Californiaepublican Party is expected to challenge the Senate

edistricting either by referendum or in the courts. 49.73%

Democrat, 23.23% Republican, and 21.02% Decline To

tate.

As a disclaimer, the maps are not very detailed so it is hard

o see exactly where the edges of the districts are, which is

ery frustrating for those living on that edge.

If you would like to see for yourself go to

www.mpimaps.com or http://wedrawthelines.ca.gov/.

With all this bad news there has to be something positiveor us to rally behind. Now more than ever we need an

ctive, engaged, and growing Republican Women Feder-

ted in our communities. Now more than ever we need to

e informed, involved and inspired. I know RWF is up for

he challenge. We denitely have our work cut out for us!
