PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
It was a pleasure to have Juli Mitchell, President of the Monterey Peninsula RWF attend our September meeting along with Recording Secretary, Ruth Pedroza-Moore. They both became Associate Members of our club that day. Kathy Forgnone and I attended Monterey's meeting the next week and we were welcomed warmly. Our Regional Director, Bunny Hacker, was there also. I find that going to other RWF club meetings is inspiring and it is wonderful to meet other ladies and exchange ideas. We have Paso Robles RWF less than an hour away and 3 of their members are Associate Members here in King City. I would urge you to take that trip South to Paso or West to Carmel Valley in the next few months to meet our sister members of the Federation. Another way to become energized and enthused is to attend the CFRW conferences. The State conference is coming up on Oct. 14-16 in Ontario, CA. The Northern Division Conference is Nov. 11-13 in Rancho Cordova and our Region is the host this year. If you would like to attend these conferences, please let me know. There are funds available to help with the cost of registration and expenses. We all belong to a Federation of Republican Women that is the largest grassroots women's political organization in the United States. Together, we can make a difference. Karen Leonhard President NEWS OF MONTEREY COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY Thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, we've extended our office hours at the headquarters to Saturday from 10am-4pm. If you have a free hour on Saturday, stop by the office to register, learn about candidates and help out the cause! Phone (831) 324-0617 or e mail [email protected] for information. TROOPS PACKAGES We will be sending packages to the Troops serving in Afghanistan on November 1st. Priority large flat rate boxes and customs forms will be available at our October 4th meeting or at the Rustler office. Sharlene Hughes will receive boxes at her office at 117 South Third Street or you may drop
off at the Rustler Office. This is a great time of the year to shop for the troops and include some Christmas items, a decoration or some Christmas cards for them to send to friends and family. We need names and addresses of local Servicemen and Women. If you cannot drop off your box or items for the Troops, please give me a call and I will pick them up. Let's do all we can to send some Christmas Cheer to our wonderful Troops fighting to keep America free.

View From The Edge Of The Crowd by Lee Schell
It's no secret that what we now term "The Main Stream Media" were in-the-tank for Obama and are all wearing little short skirts and waving pom poms around as members of Hillary's cheer-leading squad. Having spent over 30-years in the broadcast "news" business I can't believe what I am seeing when so-called journalists are doing everything they can to drive a negative narrative when it comes to the candidacy of Republican Donald Trump. Members of the Southern Monterey County Republican Women Federated, may remember that a then local man, Bob Kohn, drove down from his home in Pebble Beach to address the group about the subtle techniques that he found the New York Times was using to create a negative atmosphere around conservative political office holders. In 2004 when Kohn spoke to the club, these sneaky little mini hatchet jobs were hard to spot. They were just little, snarky inferences in the middle of a news story. Snide remarks of this type are supposed to be limited to the Op/Ed page. Instead, reporters with political agendas, were sneaking these comments into so-called news stories as part of the daily news content. Kohn used a make-believe story to illustrate how this works: The Pope was visiting Washington D.C. and, then, President George W. Bush, took the Holy Father for a sail on the Potomac River when a gust of wind blew off the Pope's Zucchetto into the water. President Bush says: "...don't worry, Father, I'll get it". The President steps out of the boat...walks across the water...picks up the cap...walks back to the boat and hands it to the Holy Father amid stunned silence on the Presidential Yacht. The headline in the next day's New York Times announced: BUSH CAN'T SWIM! You may, at the time, have thought that example was somewhat exaggerated. But last week in a headline above-the-fold, the Monterey Herald did something almost as blatant. When it was revealed that former Secretary Of State, Colin Powell's email account had been hacked and that he had nasty things to say about both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the Herald's headline announced: Powell's emails bash Trump. The fact that Powell's emails spent more time bashing Hillary Clinton than the Republican candidate wasn't mentioned until many paragraphs down in the story.
So, if anyone still needs proof that most reporters and news organizations are not just sympathetic to the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, but also are actively working in-support of getting her elected, here it is all the way down to one of our local newspapers. Just a few years ago, this kind of political partisanship by reporters and their news outlets, would have been seen as cross-the-line in responsible journalism. Today it happens as a matter of course. So-called reporters are selectively using or ignoring certain facts in their stories to either help or hinder political candidates. Most of Hillary's email troubles with that private server are glossed over as being "old news" or justified because ..."...Powell did it, too!"
Hillary damn near falls flat on her face in front of TV cameras and the Media says she was just overheated...no big deal. Yet a doctor on the Internet posts a video, with much substantiation, that makes a good case that Hillary might be suffering from an advanced case of Parkinson's disease. Yet, Donald Trump releases results of his recent physical examination which all but says he is healthy as a horse, and reporters point out that Trump still hasn't released his tax returns. If Trump wins, [and it's time for ALL of us to get on-board] it will be in spite of the Media. And if he does win, think how much fun he will have saying, to the press: Na Na Nah Na Na!

VOTER REGISTRATION
We registered voters at Safeway on September 10th and had several people opt to sign up for vote by mail. With so many propositions on the November ballot, this is a good way to study the information, make the decisions and mail the ballot in. Many thanks to Kathy Merritt, Roz Arnett and Mike Oliveira for taking a shift at the voter registration table. We will be at Safeway again on Saturday, October 15th from 11am-5pm. Please call Karen at 385-1333 to sign up for a 2 hour shift. SUNSHINE
Happy to report that Arlene Azcona and Billie McElmoyl are both at home after hospital and rehabilitation stays. They would be happy to receive your best wishes by phone or a card. Peggy Strickland, our Associate Member from Paso Roble RWF, is recovering from a stroke and we wish Peggy and her family our hope for a complete recovery soon. If you hear of anyone needing some cheer, give Roz Arness a call at 385-5856 and she will send a card.

PROP SPOTLIGHT Prop 53: Voter Approval for Revenue Bonds- SUPPORT Requires statewide voter approval before any revenue bonds can be issued or sold by the state for certain
projects if the bond amount exceeds $2 billion Applies to any projects that are financed, owned, operated, or managed by the state, or by a joint agency formed
between the state and a federal government agency, another state, and/or a local government Prohibits dividing projects into multiple separate projects to avoid statewide voter approval requirement Typically some bonds do appear on California ballots for voter approval, BUT bonds paid for out of state
revenue are not required to be voter-approved. This is a loophole that we should close! Our governments, whether city, county, or state, should be accountable to voters.
California has issued over $50 billion in revenue bond debt over the last 20 years and our state's current total debt is $157 billion, including principal and interest. It's time voters have more of a say on when and how bonds are issued.
Prop 54: Legislative Transparency- SUPPORT Requires every bill to be posted online and distributed to lawmakers at least 72 hours before each house of the
Legislature is permitted to vote on it (except when the Governor declares an emergency). Prohibits any bill passed in violation of this 72-hour requirement from becoming law. Makes audiovisual recordings of ALL public legislative meetings and posts those recordings online within 24
hours, to remain online for at least 20 years. Guarantees the right of every person to also record and broadcast any open legislative meetings. Requires NO new taxpayer money. The Legislature's existing budget will cover this measure's minor costs. Republicans in the legislature have been trying to pass bills that do what Prop 54 will do for decades. Each time,
the Democrats in power kill these bills, often times before they even clear their first committee. What are Democrats trying to hide from Californians if they do not support increased government transparency?
Prop 55: Prop 30 Tax Extension- OPPOSE Remember Prop 30? The “temporary” tax increase touted by Governor Brown and the Democrats? Well, the
legislature and Governor Brown want to extend the personal income tax portion of Prop 30 for 12 more years. This means that income taxes for single earners of $250,000 a year, joint filers of $500,00 a year, and heads of
household filers of $340,000 a year This INCLUDES small business whose owners file their small business earners within their personal income
taxes Prop 55 spells out yet another broken promise made by Governor Brown and legislative Democrats to our
taxpayers Prop 55 extends taxes while higher taxes are not necessary. California takes in more tax dollars than we need
each year — we currently have a $2.7 billion surplus. Let’s use the revenue we have wisely, not tax and spend more than we need.
-California’s critical spending- healthcare, education- can be funded without this tax unnecessary tax extension. Unsurprisingly, education and healthcare spending skyrocketed since the original passage of Prop 30. Education spending has soared by $24.6 billion since 2012 — a 52% increase. Medi-Cal spending has increased by $2.9 billion a 13% increase. Let’s get back to 2012 spending instead of extending Prop 30.
Prop 56: Cigarette Tax Increase- OPPOSE Increases cigarette tax by $2.00 per pack, with equivalent increase on other tobacco products and electronic
cigarettes containing nicotine. Prop. 56 allocates just 13% of new tobacco tax money to treat smokers or for school education to prevent
smoking. The authors of Prop 56 purposefully wrote in a loophole so that revenue will fill their pockets and not go to
school funding. California's Constitution (through Proposition 98), requires that schools get at least 43% of any new tax increase. Prop. 56 was written to undermine our Constitution's minimum school funding guarantee, allowing the authors to deceptively divert at least $600 million a year from schools to health insurance companies and other wealthy special interests.
$147 million a year from the higher cigarette tax revenue will go towards just overhead and bureaucracy alone. This is an intentionally deceptive and regressive tax on a small (generally poor and less educated) population of
Californians that will pay the increase because of an addiction. The higher tax does nothing to help prevent or decrease smoking or tobacco usage. It is a farce.
