Mark The Date: General Meeting Oct. 20
Susan Tully. our speaker this month has been a guest on Fox News with Brit Hume, Fox & Friends, CNN with Lou Dobbs, Geraldo Rivera, Dan Rather and 100’s Talk Radio. She is a former business owner, manager for municipal code enforcement, immigration coordinator for the Coalition of Government Officials (southern California), and president of Citizens Committee for Immigration Policy. She'll be taking about the state of immigration - legal and illegal - in America today.
As the National Field Director of FAIR (Federation for American Immigration Reform) Susan works to educate the media and public on immigration issues. It's a hot topic, and an emotional issue... Illegal immigration affects all of us in California, and the US. We spend $113 billion a year on illegals in the US and $1,200 a year per household. (Learn more at www.fairus.org)

Herman Cain: “When a reporter asked me the other day: Well, what do you think about those demonstrations up on Wall Street? I said, first of all, Wall Street didn’t write these failed economic policies, the White House did.”

◼ Cain’s Campaign Soars as Republicans Search for Right Candidate - Newsmax
Herman Cain, a one-time pizza magnate and tea party conservative, is surging in GOP polls, partly because of his unabashed criticism of the Wall Street protests.
Although the protests left many GOP contenders tongue-tied at first as they tried to gauge which way the wind was blowing, Cain didn't hesitate in condemning the incipient protests as an attack on American capitalism.
He accused the anti-Wall Street protesters of being jealous of other people's money and turning themselves into victims.
"Part of it is jealousy. I stand by that," Cain said on the CBS program "Face the Nation" Sunday. "And here's why I don't have a lot of patience for that: My parents, they never played the victim card. My parents never said that we hope the rich people lose something so that we can get something.

100th Anniversary of Woman's Suffrage in California 10-10-1911

| 1896 meeting of Suffragist leaders: standing (l to r) Ida Husted Harper, Selena Solomons, Carrie Chapman Catt, Anne Bidwell, (seated) Lucy Anthony, Dr. Anna H. Shaw, Susan B. Anthony, Ellen Clark Sargent, and Mary Hay. |
American women gained their right to vote in 1920. But in California, women had already won the right to vote in 1911, nearly a decade earlier.
◼ In 1896, suffragists took the issue straight to the California voters for a statewide referendum. Although Populists, Prohibitionists, Republicans and unions joined a formidable women's alliance to promote the measure, it was defeated by a sizeable majority. Many blamed the vocal liquor industry and the Democratic Party for the defeat. - theautry.org
