President’s Corner
Disgrace and Inspiration
At last Tuesday evening’s joint session of Congress we all witnessed the demise of the Democrat party! They disgraced themselves in front of America and the world, showing their true colors, while President Trump gave his best speech ever. Every Republican supported him. They showed unity and love for American values & the American people, while the Democrats showed their hatred for Donald Trump, through their childish behavior. They could not even respectfully applaud for the mothers of two young girls slain by criminal illegal gang members, for a 13-year-old survivor of brain cancer or many other emotional stories.
It is now clear to all who watched this clown show that the Republican Party is the party of dignity, Common Sense, and American values. Even some died-in-the-wool Democrats could not ignore the flagrant behavior. Of course, in true leftist fashion, the anti-Trumpers Rachel Maddow and Nicole Wallace of MSNBC gave indefensible horrific commentaries. They should be fired immediately! If any of you feel the same as I do, email MSNBC and call for their immediate firing. While you are at it, send an email to both our Democrat Senator Mark Kelly who was on his cell phone for most of the evening and Ruben Gallego, who may not even have been there. I don’t expect an honest response but they need to hear from us!
In contrast to that debacle, on Thursday our club experienced an uplifting and inspiring meeting. Eric Cultum of the Agua Fria High School Board shared the work he and others are doing to promote success for their students through four “Academies” that prepare graduates for jobs in business, industry, science, arts, and technology. They are graduating young people who are prepared for the future.
In like manner, The Freedom Foundation, headed by Aaron Withe is working to defund and defang the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), comprised of 4 public sector unions of about 7 million members, particularly the teachers’ union, which set up the Department of Education! Government unions are the largest funders of the radical left in the country with more than 98% of political contributions going to liberal politicians. It fosters a “Cycle of Corruption. Union coffers are funded by taxpayer dollars. Government unions bankroll liberal politicians who increase taxes to grow government. Bigger government equals more public employees which equals more union dues.
The Freedom Foundation is breaking this cycle by 1. An aggressive outreach campaign to public employees of their right to leave government unions. 2. Litigation- currently with 65 active lawsuits holding government unions accountable. 3. Policy Reform- Advocating for pro-worker legislation and policies across the country.
Similarly, the Young America’s Foundation, headquartered in Weston, Virginia with a branch in Santa Barbara, CA. is the founder of the modern Conservative youth movement. They are inspiring young students from middle school through college by holding events, retreats, and creating connections for like-minded youth. These students learn how to fight for conservative principles and gain a stronger understanding of the great ideals on which this country was founded. Through the work of YAF, the hearts and minds of America’s future generations are being enlightened and inspired!
The fight for Freedom is alive and well. We must join in the fight in whatever way we can, by spreading the word or donating to these organizations.
