As we go Berra, “It ain’t over ‘til the fat lady sings!” to print, the fate of the Senate hangs in the balance, and unless Kathryn Thompson & Jane Maushardt, Co-Presidents President Trump can pull a ”rabbit out of the hat,” it appears that the next administration will be the corrupt Biden/Harris one. Membership Report When election fraud prevails, there appears to be little hope for a fair and balanced society. The Dems seem intent on furthering division, not decreasing it. What President Trump managed to accomplish, with no Dem help, and very little from Republicans, was monumental. Biden We want to wish you all a Happy New Year!

Over the years I have worked Judy Groesbeck, 2 VP, Membership Countdown to Socialism - Devin Nunes’ New Book * California’s own Congressman (District 22) and an unsung American hero, Devin Nunes, has written a pamphlet book in the style of what Thomas Paine had distributed preceding the Revolutionary War. In the late eighteenth century, pamphlets electrified the colonies and helped to forge American democracy, ringing the alarm for what was wrong and what needed to be done. Nunes warns that something needs to be done now before our country loses it morals and values. He writes, “The Left has wholly rejected the fundamental principles that bound Americans together and allowed us to work out our differences democratically and peacefully.” The Left now rejects free speech, a fair voting system, private property, and the rule of law. They don’t dare yet admit it publicly, but as you’ll see in this book, their policies and rhetoric are incompatible with any of these principles as we understand them today. *Adapted from an Elise Cooper book review in American Thinker December 19, 2020 Americanism Anna Mae Maly, Americanism Chair Visit us on the web at www.mrwf.org THE PRICE OF LIBERTY IS ETERNAL VIGILANCE—THOMAS JEFFERSON Page 3 Marin Republican Women, Federated Voter Registration February Volunteers Community Action Reports Our next Voter Registration effort will be in February 2021 CALLING YOU to join in. after things settle down.
