In 1992, at the United Na>ons Conference on Environment and Development, 178 na>ons signed an agreement called “Agenda 21 – the UN Agenda for the 21 st Century.” The New World Order not only eliminates na>onal sovereignty “for the good of all” but calls for a federal government that removes all decisionmaking from local representa>ves and from the hands of private property owners. The Agenda calls for lowering the standard of living for Americans so that people in poorer countries will have more, when we will all have less and we will aSain equality. Equality will be the new norm and redistribu>on of wealth will be the vehicle by which this is accomplished.

Our  speaker,  Lyle  Rapacki,  Ph.D.,  will  discuss  Agenda  21  along  with  a  power  point  presenta>on.  Agenda  21  has  its  beginnings  as  far  back  as  1968  with  the  forma>on  of  the  Club  of  Rome.    Members  came  together  to  develop  a  “New  World  Order”  that  eliminates  na>onal  sovereignty  “for  the  good  of  all”  which  results  in  being  ruled  by  an  elite  few.

APRIL 2013 PAGE 2

Former Florida Rep. Allen West said in a speech at CPAC on Thursday that when more Americans “prefer freebies to freedom,” the United States will be at a greater risk for tyranny.

“For Progressives then and now, the welfare of the people – not liberty – is the primary object of government, and government should always be in the hands of experts. This is the real origin of today’s gun control hysteria – the idea that

professional police forces and military have rendered the armed citizen superfluous; that no individual should be responsible for the defense of himself and his family, but should leave it to the experts. The idea of individual responsibilities, along with that of individual rights, is in fact incompatible with the Progressive vision of the common welfare”

Edward J. Erler – excerpt from a lecture delivered on February 13, 2013 at Hillsdale College.

The Second Amendment to our Constitution is not about hunting, target shooting or assault weapons, it is much more than that. It goes to the heart of our founding principles. It is also unique in that it contains a preface explaining the reason for the rights it affords to us. It does not state that citizens may be armed to hunt or for the pleasure of competitive shooting, it gives us the right to “keep and bear arms” to protect us from a government gone wild. It affords us the right to keep and bear arms for the “security of a free State”. In the debate over the first militia bill in 1789, Elbridge Gerry remarked “whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia”. This is the entire Progressive

debate in a nutshell. This government wants to do away with the Second amendment in their quest for total power.

“The Declaration specifies that when government becomes destructive of the ends for which it is established – the “Safety and Happiness” of the people – then “it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new Government.” This is what has become known as the right of revolution, an essential ingredient of the social compact and a right which is always reserved to the people. The people can never cede or delegate this ultimate expression of sovereign power. Thus, in a very important sense, the right of revolution (or even its threat) is the right that guarantees every other right. And if the people have this right as an indefeasible aspect of their sovereignty, then, by necessity, the people also have a right to a means to revolution. Only an armed people are a free people – the people are indeed a militia”

Edward J. Erler February 13, 2013

Right now the Administration is attempting to regulate the Second Amendment by tightening up background checks. They realize that they will not be able to get an outright ban on assault guns. However, Mr. Obama has used executive orders over 23 times to push through his gun related agenda. Can we be certain that he will not try and destroy our Second Amendment rights? No; so as part of being a citizen it is our duty to engage in a frequent recurrence of first principals, remembering that we are a militia, and thus, a militia we will be!

Trot on my friends……

Proud  to  be  a  Palo  Verde  Woman

  The  Palo  Verde  Republican  Women’s  Club  is  an  extremely  ac>ve  group  serving  our  community  in  many  ways.  We  Are  Doers!  Because  AzFRW  on  occasion  has  offered  awards  that  we  were  not  aware  of,  we  would  like  you  to  know  about  the  work  that  Palo  Verde  women  do  to  support  our  city,  county,  state    and  na>on.       First  and  foremost,  we  are  ac>ve  poli>cally  which  is  the  basis  for  being  in  the  Na>onal  Federa>on  of  Republican  Women’s  organiza>on.         Sixteen  of  our  members  are  Precinct  CommiSeemen  plus  four  of  our  Associates.    Six  members  plus  one  Associate  are  State  CommiSeemen.   Our  members  regularly  receive  awards  on  the  District,  County  and  State  Levels  such  as  numerous  Volunteer  of  the  Year  (LD23),  PC  Rookie  of  the  Year,  Most  Volunteer  Hours  at  State  and  District  levels,  as  well  as  AzFRW  awards,  just  to  name  a  few.   We  had  several  members  regularly  aSend  the  2011  State  Redistric>ng  Mee>ngs.  Many  of  our  members  tes>fied  via  e-­‐mail  and  at  least  one  tes>fied  several  >mes  at  those  mee>ngs.      We  hosted  a  Campaign  Forum  in  2012  with  29  candidates  running  for  local,  county,  state,  and  na>onal  office.   During  the  2012  Elec>on  Campaign  our  members  put  in  thousands  of  hours  suppor>ng  their  local,  state,  and  na>onal  candidates,  working  for  MiS  Romney,  and  working  in  the  District  23  Campaign  Office.    For  the  Romney  Campaign  we  par>cipated  in  Opera>on  Swing  

State  by  sending  over  5500  post  cards  with  hand-­‐wriSen  messages  and  addresses  to  Virginia,  Florida  and  Ohio.  Palo  Verde  paid  for  several  hundred  of  these.  We  also  hosted  par>es  for  making  over  2000  phone  calls  to  voters  around  the  country.   In  both  2010  and  2012  our  club  par>cipated  in  David  Schweikert’s  Christmas  Card  Project  by  hand  addressing  and  stuffing  more  than  15,000  cards  each  year.    Member  Cheryl  Pelle>er  spent  5  days  pain>ng  Schweikert’s  campaign  office.  During  the  General  Elec>on  at  least  10  of  our  members  met  weekly  at  Congressman  Schweikert’s  campaign  office  to  work  while  others  took  work  home  to  complete.     When  Vernon  Parker  needed  help,  he  called  on  Palo  Verde  even  though  we’re  not  even  in  his  district  and  his  wife  is  a  member  of  Paradise  RW.  About  5  of  our  members  went  regularly  to  Parker  headquarters  in  Phoenix.  We  brought  in  2-­‐day  Parker  Projects  for  each  of  the  4  weeks  the  LD23  office  was  open.   Member  Liz  James  spent  her  >me  volunteering  on  a  weekly  basis  at  the  State  Republican  Headquarters  in  Phoenix  answering  phones.  On  Elec>on  Day  many  of  our  members  worked  at  the  Polls  or  volunteered  as  Poll  Watchers.     Some  of  our  members  formed  a  PAC  called  SWAT  PAC  (ScoSsdale  Women’s  Ac>on  Team  Poli>cal  Ac>on  CommiSee)  so  we  could  raise  money  and  give  directly  to  candidates.    We  raised  over  $2,500  in  three  months  and  gave  to  Republican  candidates  who  were  in  need.

Angela  Ducey  introduced  our  guest  speaker,  Clint  Bolick.  Clint  is  a  director  at  Goldwater  Ins>tute’s  Scharf-­‐Norton  Center  for  Cons>tu>onal  Li>ga>on  here  in  Phoenix.  He  recently  co-­‐authored  a  book  with  Jeb  Bush  en>tled  “Immigra>on  Wars:  Forging  An  American  Solu>on”.  Clint  said  that  there  are  really  only  two  types  of  immigrants  who  can  currently  get  in  to  the  US:    1)  those  that  have  family  members  here  already,  and  2)  those  that  squeeze  into  one  of  the  work  visas,  which  only  accounts  for  about  13%.  This  is  the  lowest  percentage  of  work  visas  in  industrialized  countries.  Since  the  1960’s,  our  immigra>on  system  has  been  based  on  the  ‘family  reunifica>on”  system.  This  means  that  immigrants  who  are  here  can  bring  in  the  rest  of  their  family  members;  but  these  are  oqen  not  the  kinds  of  people  we  need  here  now  or  in  the  future.  We  need  young  people  who  will  become  produc>ve  members  of  our  society  and  our  workforce.  We  don’t  have  that,  and  that’s  why  so  many  jobs  are  exported  to  other  countries.  The  family  reunifica>on  system  perpetuates  “chain  migra>on”,  leaving  very  few  visa  and  green  cards  for  those  immigrants  who  want  to  enter  the  U.S.  to  work.  Clint  said  we  will  con>nue  to  have  people  who  enter  the  country  illegally  un>l  we  can  offer  a  realis>c  and  legal  way  for  them  to  enter  instead.  Current  laws  are  irra>onal  and  convoluted.  We  need  to  re-­‐start  the  system  from  scratch.  

In  their  book,  Bolick  and  Jeb  Bush  propose  a  six-­‐point  strategy  for  reworking  our  policies,  beginning  with  gebng  rid  of  all  the  exis>ng,  outdated  immigra>on  structures  and  star>ng  over.  They  would  reduce  the  influx  of  those  entering  under  the  family  reunifica>on  system,  by  limi>ng  family  members  who  can  migrate  to  only  spouses  and  minor  children.  They  would  also  recreate  Ellis  Island-­‐not  literally,  but  the  idea  and  framework  of  it,-­‐as  the  way  people  

used  to  come  into  the  US.  They  would  strengthen  border  security  and  implement  the  immigra>on  system  at  the  same  >me.  A  pathway  to  ci>zenship  would  be  given  to  children  who  are  living  here  illegally,  but  those  adults  who  are  here  illegally  would  be  given  a  pathway  to  permanent  legal  residency,  NOT  ci>zenship.  The  Gang  of  8  has  begun  talking  about  stopping  the  chain  migra>on  and  replacing  it  with  a  merit  system.  The  House  has  goSen  involved  and  States  should  play  much  more  of  a  role  in  implemen>ng  immigra>on  reform  

Bolick  said  that  in  their  book,  they  talk  about  how  Republicans  can  beSer  reach  out  to  minority  voters.  He  said  that  most  people  know  that  Republicans  didn’t  do  well  with  Hispanic  voters;  and  most  are  not  aware  of  how  badly  Republicans  do  among  Asian  voters  –  even  worse  than  among  Hispanics.

FOR BROWNIE RECIPE GO TO ‘Palo Verde Republican Women’s Web site ‘.

Hi Gals! I made Carol Peters "Katherine Hepburn" Brownies tonight. This is going to be such a great recipe and cute, cute story for our newsletter! The recipe is so good, I'm going to do a column on it!Now, with all due respect to Ms. Hepburn, whom I adored, Carol's brownie icing was the real star!This recipe is rich, rich, rich chocolatey goodness...and so simple because it all gets done in one bowl. Plus!! Only a half a cup of flour in the brownies! Whew hoo!(So if you know anyone who's gluten intolerant Lite, it's perfect! HAHAH)Great job Carol! Thank you so much for your submission for the newsletter!

Above is a pic of Carol's icing. I could bathe in it! OXOXO Jan D’Atri

The recipe is from the "First Gentleman's Cookbook" compiled by William D. Orr, husband of Kay Orr, Governor, from the State of Nebraska "This book is dedicated to men who have yet to discover how satisfying it can be to start from scratch and serve a good dish or two....." Bill Orr. The recipe was donated to Bill's cookbook by The Garden Cafe, a popular restaurant and still in business, in Omaha. They still sell the brownies!

The Evidence on School Choice is Out There, Let's Use ItApril 4, 2013 | By Jonathan Butcher/ THE GOLDWATER INSTITUTE

Since 2000, the number of children using a scholarship to attend a private school has increased 748 percent according to the Alliance for School Choice’s 2012-13 Yearbook. You read that right: 748 percent. Nearly 250,000 children attend private schools around the country using an education savings account, voucher, or tax credit scholarship.How did we go from zero children free to choose their school to 250,000 in 18 different parts of the country?The answer: Choice works. A study of the voucher program in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, found that enrolling in the voucher program “increases the likelihood of a student graduating from high school, enrolling in a four-year college, and persisting in college by 4-7 percentage points.”

Obama to offer Social Security cuts in new budget — in exchange for tax hikes. posted April 5, 2013 by Ed Morrissey. No wonder it’s taking so long for Barack Obama to send his budget proposal to Congress. The budget is almost two months overdue, but Republicans may find it worth the wait. The Washington Post reports that Obama will offer cuts to Social Security in exchange for tax hikes to close the deficit — in effect, the grand bargain he and John Boehner nearly made two years ago:

Marijuana: Another Gift of the Left to America's Youth “Denver television station CBS4 reports that Colorado has seen a sharp spike in marijuana use among teenagers since Colorado voters passed Amendment 64 last November legalizing recreational use of the drug. As described in The Economist, along with a Washington State measure also legalizing marijuana, Amendment 64 is "an electoral first not only for America but for the world." That means two American states are to the left of the Scandinavian countries, Holland, and every other liberal country regarding marijuana. CBS4 quotes a number of local high school students.” By: Dennis Prager click above to read more.

PALO  VERDE  REPUBLICAN  WOMENPalo  Verde  Republican  Women  was  chartered  in  January,  1974  under  the  guidance  of  Mrs.  Joan  Wood  who  was  elected  our  first  President.  Most  of  the  charter  members  had  been  a  part  of  Scottsdale  Republican  Women,  one  of  the  most  acCve  groups  in  the  state.  Because  of  many  concerns  of  membership,  the  ScoFsdale  Club  withdrew  from  the  FederaCon.  Joan  Wood,  and  a  group  of  followers  who  wished  to  remain  in  the  FederaCon  formed  Palo  Verde.  From  the  very  beginning,  Palo  Verde  established  itself  as  a  very  vigorous  and  acCve  Club,  and  has  remained  so  throughout  the  years.  We  educate  our  members  through  the  programs  presented  at  our  monthly  meeCngs,  through  the  monthly  NewsleFer,  and  by  aFending  AzFRW  Quarterly  meeCngs.  We  are  sCll  a  very  involved  and  energeCc  group  of  Republican  Women  who  strive  to  educate  our  membership  and  to  elect  Republicans  to  office.
