President's Message

More talking points for you and your club on the difference between Republicans and Democrats.
Taxes and Government Spending : REPUBLICAN
Republicans work tirelessly to cut government spending and to eliminate government waste.
Republicans believe and support making it easier for families to make ends meet by reducing taxes on income, savings and on purchasing every day goods families need. Lower taxes helps to improve the economy and stimulate growth. Republicans are fiscally responsible!
Taxes and Government Spending: DEMOCRATS
Democrats believe that government knows what is best for the people. They argue that bureaucrats better understand the needs of a community than a locally elected council.
Democrats believe the federal government should define the amount of taxes needed to meet its obligations and they feel this is too complicated for the people to understand .
Democrats believe that if their entitlement programs become too costly it is better to rather raise taxes then cut spending. They feel the citizens can always pay higher taxes to fund their programs. Democrats are constantly looking for ways to raise taxes.
Immigration: REPUBLICANS
Republicans understand that America was build by immigrants hoping for a better life. Many fled from violence and oppression searching for peace and freedom. I am proud to be the grandchild of immigrants seeking a better future for their children and grandchildren. Republicans agree that the lack of border security contributes to the flow of narcotics trafficking,gang violence and human smugglers. Republicans believe that while America has been enriched by the determination, energy and diversity of immigrants,that in this nation of laws, immigration policies must be followed and that securing our borders is vital to ensuring the safety of our citizens.
Immigration: DEMOCRATS
Democrats believe that as the world superpower, it is a fundamental right for the United States to provide unconditional aid and comfort to the citizens of other nations.
Democrats believe in open borders , unconditional amnesty, and that the laws of America be curtailed to provide non- emergency assistance and legal forms of identification to foreign nationals. The Democrats see no necessity to close the borders to ensure the safety of our citizens.
Crime: REPUBLICANS
Republicans support policies that recognize people are responsible for their own actions.Republicans hold criminals responsible for the crimes they commit and support tough measures to keep those who are criminals off our streets and away from schools.
Crime: DEMOCRATS
Democrats look for ways to blame “society” for the actions of those who commit crimes and are constantly looking for ways to reduce the tough measures that have brought crime numbers down and protected hundreds of thousands of citizens from crime.

NFRW Postcard Contest
Thanks to our very successful Woman2Woman GOTV fundraising campaign, we can reach out to woman in key states. But...

We just can't decide which of these two great postcards is better so we're leaving it up to YOU.
Your donation is your vote! We will mail the design that brings in the most in contributions over the next two weeks to help get out the women's vote in the important midterm elections.

One hundred percent of the funds we raise from this campaign will go to mail the GOTV postcard. So please give generously. A generous donor has agreed to match every contribution we receive between now and October 20 - dollar for dollar.
That will allow our message to reach twice as many women.
