Page 2 “The Price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance.” - Thomas Jefferson Marin Republican Women, Federated Co-President’s Report As Peggy Noonan states in her Wall Street Journal editorial of October 19th, the Obama administration’s Ebola evasions reveal its disdain for the American people. The handling of the Ebola crisis continues to be marked by double talk, non-answers, illogical statements and gobbledygook. A perfect example came last week in an exchange between Megyn Kelly of Fox News and Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control. In response to Ms. Kelly’s question about why our government is refusing to stop travel into the United States by citizens of plagued nations, Dr. Frieden replied, “If we do things that are going to make it harder to stop the epidemic there, it’s going to spread to other parts. . .” Why is this, you might ask; and Dr. Frieden would reply, “Because you can’t get people in and out.” Megyn Kelly noted that we are sending troops into Africa to help stop the outbreak of Ebola and asked the question “why can’t we do that and have a travel ban”? Dr. Frieden responded. Hmmm, what was his response? It was something to the effect that if Ebola spreads there it doesn’t protect Americans and if we ban travel from the affected areas we’re not protected but if high risk people can fly into the U.S. Americas are safer. Huh? Dr. Frieden’s logic is a bit of a heart-stopper. However, all is well. President Obama canceled a fundraiser and returned to the White House to deal with the crisis and appoint a new Ebola Czar. Ron Klain, a Democrat, Washington insider and all around political hack is going to take care of us. Oh, by the way, did I mention he has no medical or public health experience! Co-Presidents, Cindy Eisenhower& Ilene Meyers Membership Matters With the election behind us, we can only “hope” and pray that there is true “change we can believe in”!

Due to a computer problem, please let me know if your birthday month is incorrect – thank you, Kathryn Thompson Kathryn Thompson, Membership Chair Liberia and the United States Liberia has been prominent in the news beand the country suffered two civil wars. Today cause of the recent Ebola outbreak, which is now 85% of the population of Liberia lives below the threatening to spread to our country. I thought a international poverty line. In 2014, an outbreak of few facts about Liberia might be of interest. LiEbola virus reached Liberia through Guinea. In beria is the only country in Africa founded by Americanism August, 2014, ironically, Guinea closed its border United States colonization. Beginning in 1820 with Liberia to help contain the spread of Ebola. freed slaves, known as Americo-Liberians, were given Because of the role the USA played in the establishment passage back to Africa, with help by the American Coloof Liberia, I can understand a sympathetic attitude towards nization Society. In 1847 the new country became the Reits citizens. However, one can only hope the United States public of Liberia. Their government was modeled after the will close its borders to people coming from Ebola-affected US constitution, and the capital city was named Monrovia, countries, sooner rather than later, until the latest epidemic after President James Monroe. The Americo-Liberians led has run its course. their country as the dominant minority for over 130 years.

Get on the lists, call the project chair listed. VETERANS The San Francisco VA Hospital is happily accepting: lap blankets, books, DVDs, socks, shoes, clothing - especially warm things. The Veterans Home in Yountville seeks: boxed games, playing cards, puzzles, puzzle books (e.g.: crosswords), handkerchiefs, ball caps, and non-perishable snack foods like chips, soup cups, Vienna Sausages, candy, and popcorn. Both facilities can always use: stamps, stationery, toiletry items and hotel freebies especially. Donations can be brought to any of our meetings and are tax deductible if you include your name and address with the items. Questions? Please call Anne at 415-302-0330 Anne Brenneis, Veterans Project VOTER REGISTRATION I was reading an article in the San Francisco Chronicle last month about how paid election workers were signing up voters, including homeless. These election workers claim they don’t take sides, but do they? We are told that there are only 28% Republicans in Marin County and I think we can do better than that. I don’t advocate signing up homeless and we certainly won’t see any at The Village Shopping Center but I do think we can do better. We are working on new signage and maybe we, too, can get t-shirts that say VOTE! The important thing is that we are there at The Village Shopping Center and in a good visible spot each spring and fall and we are volunteers and not using tax payer money to do it. Please let me know if you are interested in helping us with this fun job. I know spring is a long way off but I’d love to hear from you and start a list of volunteers.

LEGISLATIVE REPORT Prepared by Andrea Widburg, MRWF Legislative Chair National News and the Internet The Communicable Disease Center (CDC) By Cynthia Alfaro, MRWF Americanism Chair Date: 10/23/14, San Rafael, CA The Communicable Disease Center was born on July 1, 1946, tasked with the job of preventing the spread of malaria in the USA. It had a budget of 10 million dollars and fewer than 400 employees. It basically waged war on mosquitoes. Since then, like all government bureaucracies, is has grown hugely. Today it awards about 7 billion in grants and contracts. It has expanded its reach into school violence, tobacco and smoking, reducing lead levels and other areas that have nothing to do with communicable disease. Now that Ebola has come to the USA, will the CDC be able to effectively protect us? After seeing the recent questioning by congress of top CDC officials I am left very concerned. For further reading: http://www.cdc.gov/ In Flux – Discerning The Trends By Andrea Widburg, MRWF Legislative Chair Date: 10/23/14, Marin County, CA I am writing this article two weeks before the November election, but you will read it only after the results are in. There is, therefore, nothing to update because everything is in flux. Still one can discern trends. At the federal level, Obama’s administration is unraveling. He came into office promising the moon and stars, a lowered sea, a brotherhood of men, and all sorts of other things that only a messiah can deliver. Obama is no messiah. Six years into his presidency, Obama has delivered a soggy economy that’s enriched only his cronies; a shrunken, demoralized workforce; a porous border that’s flooded the US with tens of thousands of illegal immigrants, many of whom apparently carried a deadly polio-like Enterovirus in their wake; a Middle East that has reverted to the Middle Ages, only without the chivalry; the rise of the barbaric ISIS; chronic racial grievances and violence; and a string of scandals, ranging from the Benghazi debacle, to the Fast and Furious gun-running operation, to the IRS’s gangsterism, to Obamacare’s disastrous, costly, and destructive first year. All of these failures, lies, and missteps were recently crowned by the federal government’s inept response to Ebola, revealing the limits of Big Government – especially Big Government with bad leadership. The only thing that could make this worse is Obama’s continued inexplicable refusal to ban flights and halt visa requests originating in West Africa. He is mysteriously resistant to Pandemic Rule #1: Do whatever possible to stop a disease’s geographic spread. So what is a reasonable expectation for the election? In Congress, Republicans will hold the House and take the Senate. California, a Blue state with 23.4% of its residents living in poverty (making it the most poverty-stricken state in the Union), will continue its Blue ways, thanks to the disproportionate impact that Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area have on voting outcomes in the state. However, with Republican candidates across America showing class and dignity, even as Democrats implode, it is becoming possible to believe that, by 2016, the California Republican party will have a renaissance that may not be Reaganesque, but could be darned good. VETERANS DAY,TUESDAY, NOV. 11TH Marin Veterans Day Service Tuesday, November 11, 2014: 9:30am Marin Veterans’ Memorial Auditorium Avenue of the Flags, San Rafael Save the Date - December 7th Holiday Event Starting at 5pm Visit us on the web at www.mrwf.org Page 5 “The Price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance.” - Thomas Jefferson Marin Republican Women, Federated MRWF’s Capitol Muse By Edwina Burke Date: 10/23/14, Washington, D.C. Oh dear, time for another pre-election column to be published post-election. What to do? Well, this year I refuse to whistle Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah before the curtain rises on what could turn out to be King Lear. Faithful readers may recall that I tried the sunny approach in 2012, interpreting October lawn-sign data to augur for a November Romney victory. We know how that turned out. Now, instead, let’s look still-possible defeat straight in the eye: Provided the opportunity to give Republicans a Senate majority for the first time since 2004, the nation’s pesky, whimsical voters may again choose to stick with the evil they know. Would this be so bad? Oh yes. The worst effect of Republicans’ losing the Senate yet again will likely be psychological, and psychological defeat in a political party is a pernicious thing indeed. If six solid years of unadulterated liberal rule—with the domestic and international detritus of Obama’s Left-topia on display for all to see—if all this isn’t enough to tarnish the Democrat brand, what on God’s green earth would be? An equally lousy and predictable effect is not, alas, even a blip on most voters’ radar screens: In 2015 and 2016, a Democrat-dominated Senate will confirm scores more “living Constitution” progressives to lifetime sinecures throughout the Federal judiciary. The vacancy count on the numerous Federal courts currently hovers near one hundred, and new vacancies will certainly occur—possibly even on the Supreme Court, where four conservatives’ grasp on a majority vote is so wretchedly loose that they repeatedly drop it. Given continued Democrat control of the Senate, there’s no escaping a yet-more-pronounced left-wing tilt to the enormously powerful Federal bench. Face it, my friends, and weep. Then there’s the mid-term elections’ effect on that sorry galaxy of issues (constitutionalism, law enforcement, drugs, gang violence, border security, terrorism—you name it) that fall under the rubric “amnesty.” Democrat retention of a Senate majority would likely encourage Obama to fulfill his erstwhile promise to erase our national borders with a stroke of his notorious pen. But, unlike the psychological and judicial denouements mentioned above, universal amnesty would not be an unequivocally-Democrat lovechild. For example, it isn’t clear what even a solidly Republican Senate cum House of Representatives could do to prevent Obama from issuing so nefarious an executive order. More to the point, it isn’t clear if Republicans would even want to prevent it. Ann Coulter (the closest thing we’ll ever have to an American Geert Wilders) has decried many Republican congressmen’s refusal to side with voters who fear and loath illegal immigration against donors who “keep bigfooting” those voters’ conservative instincts. Given Republican candidates’ refusal to champion exclusively legal immigration —even as an abstract ideal, never mind through practical strategies—Obama’s issuance of an amnesty proclamation may not require a Democrat-controlled Senate. This is a dismal truism indeed. But there’s an axiom tailor-made for this situation: “It’s an ill wind that blows no good.” Public health considerations may operate against an open-border diktat regardless of Democrat support or Republican acquiescence. The evolving pandemic threats of Ebola and the Enterovirus D68, both of which have been conclusively associated with illegal immigration, may make an executive amnesty order unpalatable even to a president as indifferent to the people’s will and well-being as Obama has proven to be. Yes, yes, Obama may not care what Americans want. But the man does not lack vanity, and he surely would not issue an Executive Order that categorically links his legacy to a modern American plague. Unless, of course, that horse has already left the barn. MRWF Holiday Party – Dec. 12th Circle Friday, December 12th on your calendar.

It Happened in 1787 When the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended, anxious citizens were gathered outside Independence Hall. A Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.” Visit us on the web at www.mrwf.org Page 6 “The Price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance.” - Thomas Jefferson Marin Republican Women, Federated CFRW No. Division Conference November 7 – 8, 2014 Embassy Suites San Rafael- Marin Hosted by the North Bay Region Clubs: Marin RWF, Napa Valley RWF, Napa Vintage RWF, Novato RWF, Santa Rosa RWF, Sonoma RWF, Upper Napa Valley RWF The Republican Women’s Federated Clubs of the North Bay invite you to save the date for the Fall Conference to be held November 7- 8 at the Embassy Suites San Rafael-Marin Hotel.
