DINNER MONTHLY MEETING September 24, 2019 Flamingo Hotel and Resort 2777 Fourth Street, Santa Rosa 5:00 Chit Chat 6:00 DINNER WITH PANEL DISCUSSION TO FOLLOW "Defending Free Speech on Campus: How Conservative Student Leaders are Standing Strong” Student Leader Panelists: Luke Gover and Noelle Dahl, Sonoma State University Moderator: Matt Heath, Educator/California Republican Party Vice Chair Northwest Do you sometimes think our university campuses are doomed to forever be over- whelmingly liberal and group-think institutions? 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.

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

In New York City, that paragon of municipal governance, new clarifications to the city’s human rights guidelines are very clear that the intentional misidentification of a person’s preferred name, pronoun or title is a violation of the city’s anti-discrimination law. In one Washington Post article the statement was made regarding incorrect pronoun misuse. “It’s a stubborn, long- time hurdle to transgender acceptance and equality, a funda- mental refusal to afford those people even basic grammatical dignity.” It appears that all of this word manipulation advances the theory that gender is not a given but a choice. It is not a dis- tinction between male and female but a spectrum. There are 3

AMERICANISM - Orlean Koehle - CHAIR Remember the Birthday of the Constitution On September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia, our United States Constitution was finally finished and signed by delegates to the Constitutional Convention, representing 11 of the 13 colonies. Rhode Island was not repre- sented and Virginia’s delegates, led by Patrick Henry, refused to sign until it had a Bill of Rights. Why was the Constitution necessary? Free from England at the close of the Revolutionary War, the thirteen colo- nies faced grave economic and political problems. The Articles of Confederation, under which the colonies had been operating, were ineffective. No Supreme Court or president existed and Congress was without any power. The states were merely a loose confederation with no capacity for collecting money. No form of taxation was in place ex- cept sales taxes; therefore, the nation’s war debts went unpaid. Upon the invitation of James Madison, who announced that George Washington would attend, fifty-five of the seventy-four delegates reported to Independence Hall for the Constitution Convention. Their goal was to form “a more perfect union.” Only Rhode Island did not attend. The founders had a strong distrust of centralized power. Instead, they created a government of three branches: the executive, the legislative and the judicial. A system of checks and balances pre- vented any branch from becoming too powerful. Congress could pass laws but the president could veto them. Congress, however, could override the veto and restrain the executive branch. The Supreme Court could nullify laws passed by the Congress and signed by the president. But Congress could limit the Court’s appellate jurisdiction. They created a Republic, a representative form of government. The founders believed the best government governs least and is closest to the peo- ple. Government with local control and strong state’s rights were key. On September 17, celebrate and honor our U.S. Constitution that has endured 222 years, longer than any other nation’s constitution in the history of the world.

SRRWF MEMBERS Spotlight on Two Members This month we are spotlighting Sandy Barklow and Rhonda Gibbons Sandy Barklow was born in Platte, Nebraska and, as she says, was very fortunate to spend her early childhood experienc- ing farm life, enjoying the animals and growing crops. She believes all children would benefit from spending time on a farm to experience how our food gets to our table. After graduating from the University of Nebraska, she moved to Orange, California where she began her teaching career of 37 years in the district of Orange Unified. She retired in 2008. She and her husband David have two daughters. One lives in England with her husband and the other in Santa Rosa with her husband and two terrific grandchildren, Olivia, age 9 and Owen, age 6. She enjoys water aerobics at the Santa Rosa YMCA, Silver Slippers at 24 Hour Fitness and Mahjong at the Windsor Senior Citizens Center. She has been fortunate to travel, where she had many terrific experiences and plans to continue en- joying family, friends and politics.

New member Rhonda Gibbons was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. She met her husband, Tom, while he was on a tour of duty aboard the aircraft carrier USS Coral Sea when it came to Sydney during the Viet Nam era. They were married in 1965 in Houston. She and Tom have two sons and two daughters and five grandchildren. They have lived in many states due to Tom's career in the oil business. Last year they moved to Santa Rosa and were very happy to settle in retirement in this beautiful part of the coun- try. Some of her favorite activities over the years have been backpacking in Alaska with women friends, tennis and playing bridge. Nowadays her interests include doing puzzles, playing more bridge, learning French, studying the Bible and now being a member of SRRWF.
