B ar-W is already nine years old! I am
more impressed than ever with the talents
and diversity of this dedicated group of women
(and men). They are artists, writers, singers; they
are doctors, lawyers, CEOs; they are store owners,
store clerks, product demonstrators; they are
photographers, tour guides, teachers; they are
realtors, insurance reps, financial advisers; they
are homeschool moms, students, retirees - but
please don’t think they are retired; they are
ranchers, farmers, builders; they are restaurateurs,
bakers, caterers; they are absolutely amazing!
Think this list covers all the professions of the
members of Bar-W? Think again - I am sure I
missed a few.
This wonderful group of Republicans take
time out of their busy schedules to attend
meetings, man booths at various events, attend
conventions, ride in parades, volunteer to
distribute dictionaries - and the list goes on and
on. Is it any wonder this club is succeeding; with
members like this? With members like YOU!
This year we will all be working together to
elect a Republican President and to keep the
public offices we now hold. At the same time, we
will all be getting to know each other better, we
will be making new friends and we will all be
having FUN! So - -
Join the fun of interacting with the community
by volunteering to be a part of the Bar-W Booth
Brigade! We have several events coming up.
Volunteers are needed to man the booth, so please
call Boutique Chairman, Kaci Poindexter, at 830-
885-2013 if you would like to help.
You all are the Best!

E lection year is upon us once
again and if what has transpired
thus far, it should be a rousing one
especially as the primaries and
caucuses heat up moving on toward
the state and national conventions and
general election. We already know
Romney took the Iowa caucus with
24.6 percent of the votes closely
followed by Santorum at 24.7 percent
and that Romney prevailed in the New
Hampshire primary with 39.3 percent
of the votes. As of this writing, it
appears that Romney will prevail in
the January 16th South Carolina
primary. Next up will be the Florida
primary on January 31st and the
Maine and Nevada caucuses on
February 4th and so on and so forth.
So what is the difference between
primaries and caucuses? A primary is
a preliminary election held in over 40
states, in which delegates are usually
pledged to vote for particular
candidates at party nominating
conventions. Approximately 75
percent of delegates are chosen this
way, with state laws determining
when they are held. Voting is by
secret ballot among registered
candidates with write-ins allowed, and
it is either open or closed. However
in some states, only the names of
convention delegates appear on the
ballot. In others, delegates are pledged
to vote for the primary winner in
voting at the national convention or
are unpledged and allowed to vote for
any candidate. Open primaries are
open to registered voters regardless of
party affiliation, whereas closed
primaries are designated for only
registered voters of their primary
political party.
Caucuses are meetings which are
open to all registered party voters and
where delegates to the national
convention are selected. During the
caucus, voters are divided into groups;
the first one according to the
candidate they support and the other
group is the undecided voters. Voters
from each group are allowed to speak
on behalf of their candidate with the
express purpose of trying to persuade
others to join their group. Once the
caucus is finished, voters in each
group are counted to determine the
number of delegates which can be
pledged or unpledged.
Each party has different methods
of determining the award of delegates.
The Republicans either selecting
proportional or ―winner-take-all‖
methods. The proportional method,
solely used by the Democrats, is
where each candidate is awarded
delegates on a proportional basis; i.e.
that is by how many support each
candidate in the primary or the
caucus. For the ―winner-take-all‖
method, the candidate with the most
votes from the state caucus or primary
receives all of that state’s delegates at
the national convention.
In Texas, the ―Texas Two-Step‖
allows voters go to the polls twice for
its primary elections leading up to the
party conventions. First, voters cast
their ballots at the polls and then
afterwards attend evening caucuses.
Texas Republicans use the caucus
process to elect precinct leaders and
then vote on proposed party
platform resolutions. Conservative
activists can use this caucus process
to champion their ideals. State
Democrats will do the same, but
during presidential election years,
caucus voters can take action that
can determine who becomes the
party’s presidential nominee.
Texas Republicans hold
conventions in even-numbered years
and are open to any Republican
official, delegate or alternate. After
This was seen during the 2008
Texas primaries where Hillary
Clinton won the popular vote, but
saw her lead in the delegate count
slip to the power of the Obama
campaign.
PRIMARIES, CAUCUSES … WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? By: Gloria Lamoureux, Legislative Chairman

T he New Year has begun,
and probably so have your
new year’s resolutions. Yes, it is
nice to resolve to be better
organized, drink more water,
exercise more, and eat healthier,
but why not treat yourself and
put those pesky resolutions on
hold (for just an evening) and
indulge in Bar-W’s annual
Chocolate Extravaganza!
Please join us during our
February meeting at the GVTC
auditorium and spoil yourself
with a sumptuous assortment of
chocolate delights! Chocolates,
cupcakes, candies, cookies, and
more will be available for you to
sample. The cost? You decide!
Donations for this delicious event
will be accepted during the
evening. All the money we raise
from this event will support the
many projects we pursue
throughout the year.
Just think, by treating yourself
to wonderful sweets, you will also
be sending dictionaries to third
graders, U.S. Constitutions to
fifth graders, scholarships to
graduating seniors, and
supporting our men and
women overseas! This
will definitely be a ―win-
win‖ event! Thank you in
advance for your support…and
for your love of all things
chocolate!

the polls close, the evening
precinct convention, or caucus, is
held. The only requirement that
attendees must have voted in the
primary election. The precinct
delegates are then selected to
attend the county convention. If
the Senate district spans more than
one county, a state senatorial
district convention is held. At the
county or district convention,
delegates vote on all aspects of the
party platform, ratify party rules
and elect delegates, based on voter
turnout percentages in a previous
election. Those who go to the
state convention will elect more
delegates to go to the national
convention.
State Democrats also start at
the precinct level where delegates
are selected to move on to other
higher level conventions, again
based on previous election voter
turnout percentages. Secret ballot
votes are prohibited and additional
delegates can be added for
purposes of gender balancing. In
presidential years, delegates at the
precinct level support a particular
presidential candidate and ask to
move forward from county to state
to national party convention. The
majority of delegates pledged to a
candidate is determined by the
popular vote; however candidates
can win additional delegates
through the caucus process. This
was seen during the 2008 Texas
primaries where Hillary Clinton
won the popular vote, but saw her
lead in the delegate count slip to
the power of the Obama
campaign.
Whatever the outcome, the
weeks and months leading up to
November will be most
interesting. It will be increasingly
important for Texas voters to
know their candidates and what
they stand for so when they go to
the polls in the general election,
the best candidate will prevail.
Most importantly, if voters want to
effect change, they must be active
in their precinct caucuses, county
convention, and beyond if selected
as a delegate to the state or
national conventions. Above all
they must get out and vote … in
the primary and general elections!

S pring is a delightful time of year – a
time for all things fresh and new. What
a better time to be inspired to enjoy a healthier
way of eating! I love the light, bright flavors of
spring that can be found in fresh produce. Asparagus
and baby spinach are plentiful. Berries are at their best.
What a great time to get creative with ways to use these
delicious fruits and vegetables as accompaniments to
develop a lighter fare for your family. Combine several
spring favorites when preparing our recipe for
Blueberry Citrus Spinach Salad with Beef Strips.
Take advantage of spring’s finest fruits. Purchasing fruits in season ensures that the quality of
the fruit is at its peak, and they can typically be
purchased at a better value for your food dollar. Try
fresh seasonal produce in salads, sauces, smoothies,
desserts, pies, muffins and jams. Delicious springtime
fruit choices include berries, cherries, pineapple, figs,
apricots, nectarines and raspberries. Many of these
fruits will keep at room temperature for several days,
but storing them in the refrigerator can extend their
natural flavors and colors for at least a week.
Get creative with salads. Salads have evolved
from the original iceberg lettuce to a host of
salad green possibilities now available in local
supermarkets. Use a variety of greens along
with citrus fruits, berries, nuts and cheeses to
add a whole new variety of flavors and colors
to salads. By adding protein sources you can
make the salad a whole meal. Try using feta,
goat and blue cheese in small amounts to give
a punch of flavor. Nuts can be either candied or toasted
to add crunch, protein and healthy fats to your spring
salads. Legumes include beans, peas, lentils, chickpeas,
peanuts and navy beans and are an inexpensive way to
add vegetarian protein to salads.

SAFETY NET PROGRAMS: www.federalsafetynet.com/safety-net-programs.html This webpage covers poverty in America and the Safety Net programs of the Federal Government that fight it.
The programs could also be referred to as antipoverty or welfare programs.
$165 Billion = the cost to move all Americans out of poverty (poverty boost).
$358 Billion = what we spent on the Safety Net. Why did we spend so much? What did we get for that?
T he 2012 election is over a
year away and look how
vicious the rhetoric has already
become. Many have said we are
living in ―historic times.‖ Yes, I’m
sure that’s the case. I’ve often
wondered, ―Lord, why am I living
in these unsettled times?‖ One day
I heard someone I respect say we
have been chosen for these times.
And it made me stop and re-
evaluate my attitude. We have all
been chosen for these times; and
that means we all have a role to
play.
Some of us hunger to know the
latest on the political scene. Some
of us catch up once a week. Some
of us just hear tidbits as we are out
in the community. No matter how
you view your role as an American,
rest assured you are important in
shaping the future of this great
nation. Many of us have taught our
children that actions result in
consequences. No matter how you
look at it, this is a fact. The
consequences may be positive or
negative, but they are guaranteed.
The cover of the Bar-W
Directory says: ―Great Things
Grow from Small Beginnings" -
how true!
What is your role? Dare to step
up and step out.
CLIPPING COUPONS IN SUPPORT OF OUR MILITARY! By: Nancy Lewis, Caring for America Chairman/Military Liaison
J anuary 23rd was a first for
me. It was my first event as
chairman of the Caring for America
Committee and my first coupon
clipping party, graciously hosted by
Joan Stachiw. Coupon clipping,
you say. What’s that? Well, I’m
glad you asked, because I want to
tell you all about it.
Picture an old-fashioned quilting
bee, something in which our
grandmothers or more likely, great
grandmothers, would have taken
part. After sharing the best of their
cooking with each other, they would
settle down to a pleasant afternoon
or evening of ―piecing fabric‖ and
quilting. Gathered around the
quilting frame, they would share
stories and laughter, all the while
creating something of great and
lasting value.
Well, once a month a dedicated
handful of Bar-W ladies gather to
break bread and then sit around the
table to ―piece‖ (sort) and clip
coupons. Much like their
g r a n d m o t h e r s a n d g r e a t
grandmothers before them, these
ladies are investing their time and
effort in creating a thing of
beauty and value. In this
case, their efforts result in an
abundance of coupons which are
forwarded to Marine families
stationed in Okinawa, Japan to help
them stretch their PX dollars.
Judging by the letters of thanks we
have received from those families,
these Bar-W ladies have been
extremely successful. In fact, their
coupon clipping parties netted over
$200,000 of potential savings for
those Marine families last year.
That’s a first for Bar-W.
Next month on the evening of
February 21, we will be gathering at
my home in Spring Branch, to share
a meal and then sort and clip
coupons to send on to the Marine
families. We would love it if you
are able to join us. If not, we
would be very pleased to receive
your donation of current
national (not store) brand
coupons. Please bring your
coupon donations to the next Bar-
W meeting on February 8, or you
can stop by my home (call for the
address) and leave them in the blue
box on my front porch. If you will
be able to come and clip on
February 21, please RSVP to me at
[email protected] or call me
at 210-204-0844.
One way or another, please join
us as we create something beautiful
and lasting for our service members
and their families.

UPDATE BY CONGRESSMAN SMITH ON
SITUATION IN WASHINGTON D.C. By: Joan Stachiw, Publicity
O n January 11, Bar-W not only had
installation of officers for 2012, but
also their ninth birthday party. The beautiful
cake, provided by Patti Burleigh, was delicious
and enjoyed by all. In addition, it was the night
Congressman Lamar Smith, our Congressman
from the 21st Congressional District, provided
an update on what is happening in Washington.
Congressman Smith stated that intellectual
properties are the driving part of the economy.
These properties usually belong to small
businesses which create the jobs needed in our
country. However, the Obama administration
has proposed somewhat in the neighborhood of
200 bills that would control business. According
to Smith, this shows what Obama is all about.
―This country can’t afford another 4 years of
Obama,‖ according to Smith. Whoever the
Republican candidate is, said Smith, he is better
than Obama. But we Republicans must
understand that if we lose up to 25 Republican
Congressmen in the next election, we will lose
the House of Representatives. That means
Obama wins and Pelosi will again be the
Speaker of the House.
In the question and answer period, the
question was asked what the Congress can and
will do about the unconstitutional recess
appointments Obama had made. Smith
answered that unless an individual or business
brings a law suit against them, there is nothing
the Congress can do. Asked about ―Fast and
Furious‖ and the death of the Border Patrol
agent, Smith informed the group that Congress
cannot get any answers from either Eric Holder
or the Homeland Security people. Smith stated
that each time Congress asks Holder for answers
to questions, he refuses to answer or gives some
answer that is inappropriate.
Again Smith called on all present to join the
movement to elect a Republican House, Senate
and President in 2012. ―Go Forth and Get Rid
of Obama‖ is the battle cry.
At the end, Andrea Dziuba, Vice President
of Programs, presented a book for signing by
Congressman Smith which will be placed in the
Bulverde/Spring Branch Library in the Mamie
Eisenhower Collection.

Meet Your 2012 Officers
Next month, meet President Hazel Roman and Treasurer Patti Burleigh.
Andrea Dziuba is
Bar-W’s 1st VP-Programs. In 2011,
Andrea served as chairperson of the
Boutique. Andrea and her husband
Doug relocated to Texas last year
after successfully escaping in the
middle of the night from the socialist republic of
Montgomery County, Maryland. No longer surrounded
by deep blue on all sides, Andrea and Doug are now
free to express their political views within earshot of
neighbors and co-workers without fear of sudden and
violent vitriol hurled in their collective direction.
Prior to moving to Texas, Andrea worked as a
project manager on large IT infrastructure and MIS
projects for several Federal agencies, Amtrak, and the
Universal Service Administrative Company (a ―private‖
company created by Congress that manages the ―fee‖
currently applied to all of your phone lines). Mother to
Jessica (14) and Rachel (9), Andrea fills her time
coaching soccer, running the kids around, and creating
a variety of personalized gifts, t-shirts, and memorabilia
for her home-based business, RedEye Digital Designs.
Angela Goral is Bar-W’s
2nd VP-Membership. In 2011, Angela
served as the chairperson of two Bar-W
committees — Hospitality and Caring
For America and as a delegate to the
recent TFRW convention in Fort Worth.
Angela and her husband, Frank returned to Texas in
2007 after nine years in Germantown, MD. Frank and
Angela were high school sweethearts. Married shortly
after Frank was commissioned in the Marines, they moved
over 22 times over the next three decades. Angela
managed to work for many different agencies, during her
22 years of Federal Service, including the Marines, Navy,
Air Force, IRS, INS, and DHS, in Okinawa, Virginia, DC,
NC, RI, and Texas.
Mom to three grown children and ―Nana‖ to five
grandchildren, aged 3 to 14 she is happiest when
surrounded by her extended family and friends. Her
hobbies include volunteering, decorating, crafts, and
reading. Her favorite vacations are all about water—scuba
diving, cruising with friends, and family vacations on
sandy beaches.
