Capitol Update: Wednesday, August 03

President’s Message- RNC Special!

RNC Convention - You had to be there to believe it. I had the honor to represent California as an Alternate delegate in Ohio and would not have missed it for the world. I felt the excitement in the hall and we do have excitement by all, to WIN in November. Win we must. If you watched the DNC from Philadelphia they must be living in a different world from the rest of us... I also included into one day, the NFRW Board of Directors meeting, held downtown. Rosie the bus, is coming to California in August and as soon as I get her schedule I will forward to the Division Presidents. Continue to work on the election in any way you can. Remember to include talking about membership. We have 2 months left in this year for per capita reporting and I really do not want to see a decrease in membership. Set a GOAL to at least meet your last years totals. Thanks to you all for your efforts and we will be rewarded in November.

Shirley Mark
CFRW President

They’re Back!

The Legislature is back in session this week, and they wasted no time passing useless and terrible bills. The legislature has until August 12th to pass bills out of their final fiscal committees, so the Appropriations Committee of both houses is going to be a flurry of activity for the next week. The last day to hear bills on the floor of the Senate and the Assembly and pass them on to Governor Brown is the end of this month, August 31st. At that point, the final recess of the legislative year begins. During summer recess, though, Governor Brown was busy signing our second amendment rights away. Brown signed a series of bills that ban the sale of semi-automatic rifles with quick detach magazines, that ban the possession of high capacity magazines of more than ten rounds, and background checks for ammunition purchases, just to name a few. Of 11 gun control bills sent to Governor Brown, he signed 6 and vetoed 5. The National Rifle Association has already issued a statement to say that these bills will be challenged in court. We will keep you informed of their progress. Stay tuned!

November Ballot Measures

The California Federation of Republican Women will be making recommendations on the November Ballot propositions. There are 17 propositions on the ballot! Currently our Advocate and our Ballot Measures Analysts are busy preparing analysis and recommendations for our Voting Body to take official positions on each measure. Our CFRW Voting Body is made up of the CFRW President, the three CFRW Division Presidents, and the three CFRW Vice Presidents. Once we have our official recommendations, we will post online as well as have in-depth analysis and talking points on each proposition in the Capitol Update. Thank you for being patient, as we want to make sure we take the most informed recommendation we can! With 17 ballot measures, it is imperative the CFRW members understand what they are voting on so that they can, in turn, educate the voters of their communities!

Trump tops Clinton in convention speech ratings







The speech was like fingernails on a chalkboard. It was a poorly written address made worse by Clinton's stilted and at times strident delivery. Dressed in a white pantsuit, the former secretary of state over-pronounced her words as if she were a special education teacher or a singer in the Swedish band Abba. It had a slight air of condescension about it. And her cadence was weird, to say the least....

ABC News footage seemed to show Bill Clinton dozing off momentarily during the long oration.

But Hillary gave the audience members what they wanted. It was a stroll through a liberal-progressive fantasy land, a place where money materializes out of thin air.

She promised to make government bigger and bigger and bigger. A communist at heart, she promised to suck up to the hardcore socialists in her party. She promised to empty the prisons. She promised to create worse-than-useless green jobs with big taxpayer subsidies. She promised to flood the country with aliens, illegal or otherwise, and hard-to-assimilate Muslims. With her grating voice, she attacked Republican nominee Donald Trump shrilly and relentlessly....

FULL SPEECHES: DAY TWO
Tuesday: Make America Work Again

The Obama years have delivered anemic economic growth, the lowest labor-force participation rate in 38 years, and job-killing regulations and legislation like Obamacare.

Donald Trump is a successful businessman with a solid record of creating jobs and the experience we need to get America's economy up and running … and get Americans working again.

Melania Trump Speech at the Republican National Convention 2016 Cleveland RNC [AMAZING]

FULL SPEECH: Melania Trump Speech at the Republican National Convention 2016 Cleveland RNC [AMAZING]







Melania Trump delivered a powerful and flawless speech last night at the Republican National Convention (RNC).

She was poised, impressive and beautiful in her presentation. She spoke about a number of topics and summed up her admiration for her husband while building a case for why he should be elected President of the United States.

This morning the former Sports Illustrated super model came under heavy attack by “NeverTrumpers” and their compatriots on the left, including the media, for reportedly imitating a small passage from Michelle Obama’s 2008 DNC speech in her speech last night.



A lot of attention is being paid to accusations that Melania Trump may have snatched a line or two of her convention speech from Michelle Obama, but the truth is that nobody really remembers Michelle’s 2008 speech and, in my opinion, Melania’s will never be forgotten....

Melania’s abundance of grace was apparent from any vantage point. For just one-sixth of the price of most of Hillary Clinton’s outfits, Melania acquired a truly magical dress that dropped the jaws of millions of viewers nationwide....
