Letter from WRC - President
Dear WRC Members, Happy New Year! I hope that all of you had a wonderful holiday!!
Now that the Christmas decorations are packed away for another year and the champagne bottles have been discretely deposited in the trash, I hope that each one of you is ready to get to work to turn Florida RED in this election year!
As I listen to the DemoRat candidates, I realize just how very important the upcoming elections are to Florida and to America. The DemoRat mes-sage is more of the Obama Administration’s progressive, socialist agenda. (See, 8 Levels of Controls on pg 6.) However, it sounds appealing to the low-information voter - free this and free that. No matter which Republican presidential candidate you are supporting, there is no question that any one of them would do a better job as president than the pathetic DemoRat can-didates.
Still, Republicans have a great deal of hard work ahead. For this reason, WRC has established 6 outreach teams: Millennials, Hispanics, Jewish, Vet-erans, Faith-Based and African-Americans. This issue of The Trunkline summarizes all of the goals & objectives for these teams and highlights the Veterans Outreach Team. Future newsletters will highlight the other Out-reach Teams. These teams cannot do it alone. and will be looking for work-ers to assist them in attaining their goals and objectives. Are you willing to reach out?
With the end of an old year and the start of a new year, there are always changes. One of the major changes is the turnover of WRC Board of Di-rectors. I would like to thank Kay Andrews, Cynthia Miles, Randy Burke, Pat Wagner and Rose Parapiglia for their endless hours of work to make WRC so successful. I have been blessed to have them on my team. Fortu-nately, none of them are going away and have agreed to help in any way they can! Pat will still help with reservations and Rose will be Treasurer Emeritus. I want to welcome my new team - Michelle Morgenstern, Melva Wagner, Dayna Meserve, Judy Sharp, Cindy Lyster and Jean Hahm. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t thank the Membership Committee Chair and members for their hard work in growing our numbers. Also, thanks to Kay Andrews and her Christmas Party Team who made our December luncheon so fabulous. I owe thanks to those members, who month after month, faith-fully help set up, clean up and sell raffle tickets. Finally, thank you to each WRC member for placing your trust, faith and support in me. I look for-ward to serving you in the next two years. Together, we can accomplish anything!! Here’s to an absolutely outstanding 2016!!!
United We Stand, Divided We Fall!! Priscilla

DENA STEBBINS DECAMP
FFRW President
Dena Stebbins DeCamp was born in Chicago, IL and
moved with her family to Polk County, FL when she was 6 years
old. A life-long Republican, Dena became more involved with
politics after hearing Rush Limbaugh on the radio talking about
getting more involved.
In 2008, Dena served on the board of Republican
Women’s Club of Lakeland, Federated as 2nd
Vice President and
became campaign headquarters volunteer coordinator. Dena’s efforts for the Presidential election
that year won her the “Volunteer of the Year Award” from the Republican Women’s Club of Lake-
land Federated. In 2009, Dena became President and served the club for 5 years, finally terming
out in 2013.
In addition to serving the RWC Lakeland, Dena became 1st
Vice Chairman of the Republican
Party of Polk County and served from 2008 to 2010. Staying active in Polk County, she sponsored 3
Tea Party rallies 2009-2011, was Team Leader for Marco Rubio for U.S. Senate, became chair for the
Republican Party of Polk County Campaign Headquarters in 2010. In 2009, Dena was elected as a
District Representative for the Florida Federation of Republican Women. She was a members of
FFRW Nominating Committee Chair in 2011, and a FFRW Member-at-Large in 2012 before being
promoted to 2nd
Vice President. In 2013, Dena was elected to 1st
VP of the FFRW. Dena was
elected FFRW President at the October 2015 Convention in Orlando.
In 2010, Dena was hired by the RPOF to manage the campaign HQ for “Romney for Presi-
dent.” She not only managed the main HQ, but also 3 satellite offices throughout Polk County. This
office was always one of the top 3 producing offices in phone calls and precinct walks in the state
throughout the campaign, with Polk County voting for Gov. Romney on election day.
Dena worked her way through Polk Community College and Florida Southern College while
running 3 uniform stores in Lakeland from 1986 until closing the business in 2004. Thereafter, she
opened a successful custom embroidery shop.
She loves to read and sail and is married to Dr. O. Nelson DeCamp, Jr.

newed their membership dues for 2016. Please make sure you pay your dues as soon as possible

Luncheon Price Increase
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Tiburon has been so gracious in keeping the cost of WRC’s luncheons as
low as possible. However, Tiburon’s costs have increased and in turn, it has had to increase the cost of our lunch-
eons. Effective with the January 8, 2016 luncheon, the prices for lunches will be as follows:
$30.00 WRC Members
$35.00 Non-Members and Guests
Please note that if you have not renewed your WRC 2016 membership dues by the February 12th luncheon meet-
ing, you will be charged the non-member price of $35.00.
We are encouraging all members to make reservations and pay on-line at www.wrc-naples.com. However, if you
do not wish to pay on-line, please send in your check payable to WRC to the WRC Treasurer at 28285 Insular Way,
Bonita Springs, 34135. Your check must be received no later than the Tuesday before each Friday luncheon. Ef-
fective with the February 12th luncheon, if you do not pay on-line and you fail to send in your check timely, the
“at the door” price for the luncheon will be $35.00 per person.
8 Levels of Control Saul Alinsky died over 43 years ago, but his writings influenced those in political control of our nation today. Recall that Hillary Clinton did her college thesis on his writings and President Obama writes about him in his books.
Died: June 12, 1972, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA Education: University of Chicago Books: Rules for Radicals, Reveille for Radicals
All eight rules are currently in play.
How to create a social state by Saul Alinsky:
There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most impor-tant.
1) Healthcare – Control healthcare and you control the people.
2) Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level.. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take Taxes from the wealthy with the support of the poor.
Does any of this sound like it is happening in the United States? Alinsky merely simplified Vladimir Lenin's original scheme for world conquest by communism, under Russian rule.
Stalin described his converts as "Useful Idiots." The “Useful Idiots” have destroyed every nation in which they have seized power and control. It is presently happening at an alarming rate in the U.S. If people can read this and still say everything is just fine, then they are “useful idiots.” It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.
Is there anyone out there that thinks this stuff isn't happening today in the U.S.? You have to be living under a rock if you don’t see it.

WRC– Naples Veteran Outreach Team
Looking for a few good…Veterans!!!
In an effort to have a Republican election outcome, it is extremely important for us to engage with many people
encouraging them to vote Republican. One area of concentration to achieve a successful outcome is to develop an
organized method of approaching the veteran population in the area.
We would like your help!
As a sub-committee of the WRC-Naples Membership Committee, it is the mission of the WRC Veterans Outreach
Team to connect with and engage veterans, creating an alignment that meets the goals of the WRC and Republican
Party.
To accomplish this mission, we have identified a number of objectives that we believe will assist us in achieving out
goals. Some of the objectives we think are significant to accomplishing our goals are:
• Allow other community members the opportunity to have a positive relationship experience with current WRC
members.
• Ultimately encourage them to join the WRC as member or associate.
• Encourage and provide proper education on conservative thought; engage other intelligent people discussing
important issues of the party.
• Make sure each individual is registered and Votes!
• Network with like-minded people for the purpose of electing like-minded candidates.
• Support for veteran issues and show appreciation for veterans in our community.
Ultimately, we think accomplishing the following goals will help us in meeting our mission:
I want to thank CC LeBlanc, Anne Brown, Sandy Doyle and Diane Powell for agreeing to serve on the this Team.
But we need more!
Please consider joining us in this cause. Send me a quick note and we will include you in our next meeting.

Collier County Republicans finally have a new home!!
You don’t want to miss out on the fun!!
Disclaimer: The CCREC does not have a favorite candidate nor is it promoting any specific candidate. The candidates are ar-
ranged alphabetically below. During the primary season, the CCREC wants you to support passionately your personal favorite
candidate, but without denigrating the other Republican candidates or their supporters. Remember, once the primary battles
are over, there will be a single Republican candidate, and as Republicans, we must unite behind that candidate!!
