PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Return address: THE WHITE HOUSE. Imagine my anticipation when opening that piece of mail! It is a thank you card from President Trump to SMCRWF for the Birthday card we sent to him. I will bring the card framed for all to see at our meeting on August 6th. It will be the perfect kickoff for our TRUMP 2020 campaign. Time to get organized and start planning what each one of us can do to support our President's reelection effort. Our domestic economy is booming and President Trump is also behind the World's growing economy. We will have some Trump 2020 caps , campaign buttons and bumper stickers available at our meeting. Look forward to meeting our 2019 Scholarship recipients and seeing everyone again after a month off for some summer relaxation. See you on August 6th.
Karen Leonhard, President
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
CFRW Treasurer, Lorie Noble, was our guest speaker at the June General Membership meeting. Lorie talked about the restructure of CFRW in 2020 and how our clubs from Santa Cruz to Ventura will now be in the Central Coast Region. Our members brought items for the troops and Kathy Imamura from Operation Care and Comfort was there to help organize and pack. We collected $238 in donations for postage and filled 12 large cartons of goods for the troops. Several of our Associate members from Monterey took a road trip to attend our meeting. Paso Robles President, Sue Rodeck, was there and joined our club. Sue Kleber held the lucky Opportunity Drawing ticket.
MEMBERS LOST
BERNICE MASON
Our dear member, Bernice Mason, passed away in June after a lengthy illness. Bernice was a very dedicated teacher for many years. She loved the children in her classes and created many interesting activities for them to both learn from and enjoy. She was active in many organizations, CRTA, Rebeccas and Republican Women, often taking on leadership roles such as president, treasurer and secretary. She worked hard to keep in touch with her friends, which became more challenging as she lived in Greenfield and travel became more difficult. She was a generous friend with a dry sense of humor. I shall miss her. Sue Miller
A $25 check from Southern Monterey County Republican Women Federated was sent to King City Bible Church in Bernice's memory.
TOM GRIM
Our long time Associate Member, Tom Grim, passed away on July 1st. He will be missed by all as he and Janice rarely missed one of our monthly meetings. Tom was an active member of our club especially in the days when we had fashion shows. He and Janice were first on the scene to prepare for fundraising events, setting up tables and chairs and sweeping up afterwards. Tom was awarded our club's Associate of the Year in 2013. Tom was an active member of the community and a member of Rotary, KC Chamber of Commerce, KC Elementary School Board and Mee Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees. In 1974 he was awarded the King City Citizen of the Year. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Janice and her family at this difficult time.
U.S. Murder Concentrations by Local, IMAGE Crime Prevention Research Center From https://www.ammoland.com/2019/05/gun-crime-

View From The Edge Of The Crowd by Lee Schell
If Donald Trump isn't reelected, next year, we are in a whole lot of trouble! Just the thought of someone like Kamala Harris being sworn-in at the White House and both houses of Congress being populated with the likes of "The Squad": Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Lihan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley, makes me want to seal myself up in one of those old, 1950's underground bomb shelters. Think of what kind of damage to this Republic those people could do?
It is no surprise to anyone reading my commentary on these pages over the years, that I am a passionate supporter of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. As an old- school news reporter I have always wondered why support for the 2nd Amendment doesn't reach the level of the support of the First Amendment? How can anyone with a modicum of education misread the words:.."...shall not be infringed". Yet, over the years, people who would like to see law-abiding gun owners disarmed, have time and time again infringed on our rights to defend ourselves and our families with firearms. They don't want to make owning guns safer. They want private
gun ownership abolished. All of these so-called gun safety measures happening in California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Washington State are just attempts to whittle away at our gun rights to set the stage for gun abolishment and confiscation.
You see all kinds of scary statistics gun grabbers use to justify their anti-gun positions. Well, thanks to Don McDougall, the chairman of the Los Padres Friends Of The NRA committee in Ventura, I've got some real firearm statistics that you will never see on television, read in the newspapers or hear on the radio: There are an estimated 120 million law abiding gun owners in the country. We are the majority of the voting public. 83% of all shootings in the country are either drug or gang related or both. 53% of all shootings are by black men under 30 years old in urban areas. The U. S. ranks 11th in mass shootings among industrialized nations. 2% of U.S. counties have 53% of all shootings. So, if you take gangs and drugs
out of the equation we end up with seventeen hundred shooting deaths a year in a country with 330-million people. That makes us the safest country in the world! And all the gun laws passed by local, state and federal legislatures will be ignored by gang members and drug dealers and only punish law abiding, gun-owning citizens. Where did Don McDougall get these numbers, you ask? He got them from the FBI: https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/ucr/publications

FLAG DAYS
August 4 - Coast Guard Birthday
AMERICANISM obtained from on line searches
A provision of the 2009 Defense Authorization Act changed federal law to allow U.S. veterans and military personnel not in uniform to render the military hand-salute when the national anthem is played. The change adds to a provision which was passed in the 2008 Defense Bill, which authorized veterans and military personnel in civilian clothes to render the military salute during the raising, lowering or passing of the flag.
