Take heart, not all is lost! In fact there’s great hope to believe the pendulum is swinging back, thanks to a cou- rageous new generation of young Republicans. Come out to witness one of our best topics and group of speakers for the year: Republican student leaders from Sonoma State University on a panel discussion moderated by Matt Heath. These student leaders will share how they are not just defending their ground but mak- ing great progress in educating their fellow students about free speech, critical thinking and conservative values. Let’s support our local students, listen to their stories and provide them a platform to share their inspiring insights. Luke R. Gover is the recently elected President of the SSU Republican Club. Luke is a political science and economics major from Elk Grove, CA. Luke decided to become a Republican student leader when he realized modern conservatism was in desperate need of revival in California. Noelle S. Dahl is the founder of Flux Magazine, a periodical which features student written articles and accounts regarding freedom of speech on college campuses in addition to publishing and exhibiting student art, poetry, and prose. View Flux at: https://www.thefluxmagazine.com Dinner reservations, unless cancelled the Friday before the event, will be billed to you. $36.00 with reservations - NO RESERVATION $42.00 Reservations should be made with Connie Senseney - email [email protected], call or text 707-217-3945 and Please mail your check before September 21, 2019 Make your check out to SRRWF and mail to... SRRWF, P.O. Box 9544, Santa Rosa, CA 95405 E-mail - [email protected] - Website - www.santarosarwf.org PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Vote to Make a Difference Welcome back, everyone, after our two-month meeting hiatus! Get ready for a great Fall line-up of speakers and topics! But onto a more important topic… What if 8800 registered Republicans in Sonoma County didn’t vote in the last election? What if more than two million California Republicans didn’t vote either? They didn’t. Those 8800 and two million might have changed the results of several races. Being outnumbered 3 to 1 in this county doesn’t mean we should assume we have no voice and it won’t matter. It does. Matt Heath might have won. Mark Meuser and even John Cox might have won. Perhaps the other party thinks it has every candidate locked in. Did we stay home because we already considered ourselves the losers? If yes, we must change our mindset. We cannot sit back and not perform our civic duty to vote. Voting is a precious right (granted to only US citizens, hope- fully). We need to exercise it. We can change the outcomes of elections. Really. Voting is part of our right to freedom of speech—just like expressing oneself in letters to the editor or on Facebook or Twit- ter. We need to make our opinions and views heard and seen. If we don’t, we know who will. Those folks are working 24/7 to grab power and stay in power. I, for one, do not want this state or this country to become Socialist Democrat. I do not want my children or grandchildren to live under a Socialist regime where the state runs citizens’ lives by controlling the elections, healthcare, transportation, the banks, education, social media, and businesses. Please exercise your right to vote. Be proud to be a Republican. Speak up. Speak out. We can make a difference. Sandy Metzger, President MEMBERSHIP - Caroline Hall, Chair We are back at it again, Ladies! I hope you had a wonderful summer and that you are looking for- ward with energy to an exciting year in RFW. In our continuing quest for new members, I have included a few more recruitment tools from the National Federation of Republican Women. Share a copy of our current newsletter with prospective members; talk up our meetings and events and invite them to attend. Invite a new member to attend our meetings as she may be too shy to attend alone. At each meeting we have a clearly marked new member table where I will be sitting. If you see a new member at our meetings and she looks lost, please bring her to the new member table. Encourage new members to participate in our activities which will help them to get acquainted with us and find the best way for her to participate.

    Issue No. 1287 27 October 2017 // USAFCUWS Outreach Journal Issue 1287 // Featured Item “North Korea’s Biological Weapons Program: The Known and Unknown”. Written by Hyun-Kyung Kim, Elizabeth Philipp, and Hattie Chung; published by the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs; October 2017 https://www.belfercenter.org/publication/north-koreas-biological-weapons-program-known-and- unknown Amidst the growing threat of North Korea’s nuclear program, the assassination of Kim Jong-Un’s half-brother via VX nerve agent in February 2017 brought renewed interest in North Korea’s other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs—chemical and biological weapons. If used on a large scale, these weapons can cause not only tens of thousands of deaths, but also create panic and paralyze societies. Nevertheless, the vividness of the nuclear threat has overshadowed other weapons programs, limiting the attention and policy input that they deserve. This paper focuses on North Korea’s biological weapons (BW). Accurately assessing the threat from North Korea’s biological weapons is challenging. Whereas North Korea has publicly declared its will to become a nuclear power many times, it has been less overt about its intention or capability for biological weapons. BW capabilities are inherently hard to detect and measure. While nuclear programs can be monitored by the number of nuclear tests and the success of missile tests, weaponizing and cultivating pathogens can stay invisible behind closed doors. Moreover, equipment used for BW production are often dual-use for agriculture, making external monitoring and verification virtually impossible. Limited information on North Korea’s BW program leads to a low threat perception that may undermine preparation and response efforts.
