Todo lo que la tiranía necesita para afianzarse es que las personas de buena conciencia permanezcan en silencio". ¿Cuántas patas tiene un perro si a su cola le llamas pata? cuatro Decir que una cola es una pata no la convierte en una pata. Abraham Lincoln 1809 - 1865 “A lie doesn’t become truth, wrong doesn’t become right, and evil doesn’t become good, just because it’s accepted by a majority.” Booker T Washington 1856 - 1915 Abraham Lincoln ¿Cuántas patas tiene un perro si a su cola le llamas pata? cuatro Decir que una cola es una pata no la convierte en una pata. “In this age, in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it, nothing can succeed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions.” Abraham Lincoln Seen On A T-shirt Tomorrow tə-môr′ō A mythical land where I get all my stuff done Gateways to Better Education "If you don’t vote in every election, you have reduced yourself from being a citizen to being a subject – to be ruled rather than represented." Your Vote Matters "What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone?" Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote...that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country. "We will Stand against Tyranny today or our Children will bow Tomorrow." Mercy Owen Warren - One of the many Founding women who played a pivotal role in the American Revolutionary War If your child asks you for a tattoo and you say no, you are a good parent. But if they ask you for puberty blockers and you say no - you are breaking the law. Booker T Washington 1856 - 1915 Think about it: we went into slavery pagans; we came out Christians. We went into slavery pieces of property; we came out American citizens. We went into slavery with chains clanking about our wrists; we came out with the American ballot in our hands. There is a certain class of race problem-solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public. Even if the government spends itself into bankruptcy and the economy still does not recover, Keynesians can always say that it would have worked out if only the government had spent more. Thomas Sowell "WHAT THE BLACK MAN WANTS" 1865 "What I ask for the negro is not benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice. The American people have always been anxious to know what they shall do with us... Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us!" Fredrick Douglas 1818 - 1895 Dr. Robert A Cook (1912 - 1991) Pastor, Author and President of King's College The secret of being perfectly at peace in turbulent circumstances is not self-control but God control. In the midst of turbulent circumstances or pressure, you must pull down the shades of your mind momentarily and get alone with God and say, "God you handle this." Quote taken from radio talk Walk with the King program #7008 In Every Moment Find God. "Some of the biggest cases of mistaken identity are among intellectuals who have trouble remembering that they are not God." Thomas Sowell

- Affordable Housing | Hemet Republicans
Affordable Housing Former Costa Mesa, CA mayor Jim Righeimer has rightly stated, "....There's no such thing as affordable housing. All there is is subsidized housing. It's really just a matter of who is going to subsidize it. The 2 x 4s and concrete still cost money." The quote above was taken from an article entitled "California's Proposal to Make Housing a Fundamental Human Right Moves Forward" by Jill McLaughlin May 2, 2023. The article is in response to Assembly Constitutional Amendment (ACA) 10 introduced March 26, 2023 by Assemblyman Matt Haney (D - San Francisco) Affordable Small Homes Small homes, sometimes also referred to as tiny homes, are part of the affordable housing discussion. Below are some examples of smaller homes.
- 2nd Amendment
The United States Constitution guarantees the right of its citizenry to keep and bear arms. One of the first acts of a totalitarian regime is to disarm its people. California's gun control laws only serve to disarm law-abiding citizens, not criminals. The United States Constitution 2nd Amendment “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Lo siguiente es de la Plataforma del Partido Republicano de California EL DERECHO A PORTAR ARMAS La Constitución de los Estados Unidos garantiza el derecho de su ciudadanía a poseer y portar armas. Uno de los primeros actos de un régimen totalitario es desarmar a su pueblo. Las leyes de control de armas de California solo sirven para desarmar a los ciudadanos respetuosos de la ley, no a los delincuentes. Nos oponemos a cualquier otra legislación de control de armas y apoyamos el derecho de todos los ciudadanos de California a poseer y portar armas y municiones para cualquier propósito lícito. Pedimos una legislación estatal que establezca criterios razonables que permitan a los ciudadanos respetuosos de la ley portar armas ocultas. Apoyamos el derecho de las personas a usar la fuerza letal para proteger vidas y propiedades. También proponemos enmendar la constitución de California para reflejar todos estos derechos. Finalmente, pedimos la eliminación de los períodos de espera para comprar armas de fuego y, en su lugar, apoyamos la implementación completa de verificaciones instantáneas de antecedentes. Second Amendment California Rifle and Pistol Association article - CDC Hiding The Truth On Defensive Gun Use? California Rifle and Pistol Association - Current California Second Amendment Legislation “The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” Thomas Jefferson Inland Empire Gun Owners If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism Thomas Sowell Ted Nugent Heading 2

- Contacting Elected Officials | Hemet Republicans
Contacting Elected Officials When calling, emailing or sending a letter, be polite. It is possible to be firm and polite at the same time although, admittedly, many Democrat sponsored bills are so outrageous that staying calm takes concentrated effort. It is appropriate to contact both the author/s of the bill and your own legislator/s to voice your support for, or opposition to, proposed legislation. Calling: Always be brief and to the point. Some will answer, some will let it go to voice mail. It is always helpful to write out beforehand what you want to say. especially, where you are calling from and in regards to what. Example: I am calling from Yorkville, California to express strong opposition to H.R. 0000 because it imposes an undo burden on families. Email: Many will not accept an email from outside their district which can pose a problem when trying to contact the bill's author via email. Writing a letter: This is the most time consuming but also the most effective. It has been said that one letter is equal to one hundred phone calls. That doesn't mean that calls are not effective, rather, letters are even more effective. Sample Letter: 2/14/2021 (today's date) Attn: Congressman ???? (who are you writing to) Re: Opposition (Support of) to HR 0000 (which bill are you opposing or maybe supporting) Dear Congressman ????, (who are you writing to) I am writing to express my strong opposition (could be strong support for) to HR 0000. It is an unnecessary (necessary) piece of legislation which would place an undo hardship on (greatly help) families. Please vote no (yes) on HR 0000. (What is the bill number) Respectfully Submitted, Sign your name and include your contact information below John Smith (your name) 1234 Walnut Ave (street address) Yorkville, CA 95494 (city, state, zip)
