Doug LaMalfa
Humboldt Republican Women Welcome

Congressman Doug LaMalfa is one of those larger than life politicians. Left-wing Democrats hate him, but
hes unscathed. A fourth-generation rice farmer, he served as a California State Assemblyman from
2002-2008; State Senator from 2010-2012; and was elected - as a Republican - to the 113th Congress in
January, 2013. He represents Californias 1st District, with offices in Redding, Auburn, Oroville and Washington DC.
He likes to say hes from the real California, and he made a name for himself in Sacramento standing up for
agricultural interests, ranchers and farmers, and against big government spending and regulation. No fan of
Jerry Browns high-speed rail project, he led an effort to freeze funding for what gubernatorial candidate
Neel Kashkari calls The Crazy Train.
Hes continued in that vein at the Federal level, co-sponsoring the Federal Reserve Transparency Act. H.R. 24,
which directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to complete a complete audit of the Federal
Reserve system within one year and submit a report of its findings and conclusions to Congress. His support
for Small Business Owners earned him the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Guardian of
Small Business Award. And, hes leading a coalition of 30 lawmakers in urging House leadership to schedule
a vote to repeal the federal death tax imposed on deceased Americans.
Subscribe to his email updates and youll hear about his recent trip to Weed, after the devastating fire. Hes
been urging Congress to implement responsible forest management measures, including H.R. 1526, a bill
that would improve forest health by removing burdensome regulations from timber and fire prevention
work in National Forests.
Join us for lunch! You dont want to miss this one!

Obamacare Architect:

Optimal Time to Die:

age 75

Ezekiel Emanuel, Rahms brother, was one of

the chief architects of ObamaCare. Apparently
Ezekiel has decided that 75 years of age is the
optimal age for people to die. After 75, people
who live longer than that risk struggling
through a less-than-perfect existence and uses
his own father as an example.
Read Emmanuels article Why I Hope to Die
at 75 in The Atlantic here: http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/09/why-i-hope-to-die-at-75/379329/

There is also a good op-ed piece on this article

on Herman Cains website. You can access it
here: http://www.caintv.com/obamacare-architect-ezekiel-em

Women in Politics
2 New Books

New Yorker (and Democrat) Kirsten Gillibrand,

best known for replacing Hillary Clinton in the
US Senate, has written a memoir Off the
Sidelines: Raise Your Voice, Change the World.
The book follows the life of a mother working in
a mans world. The Associated Press review says
it sometimes feels like a campaign commercial
but continues to say that the book will appeal to
working mothers, sometimes moving them to
tears.
Wendy Davis, Democrat Texas gubernatorial
candidate, gained fame by wearing pink
sneakers in an abortion rights filibuster. Her
memoir, Forgetting to Be Afraid, is described
by AP as more compelling than Gillibrands.
Davis describes her tough childhood with an
itinerant family, falling more into poverty when
her father left the family, and her subsequent
struggle to get an education. She also reveals
that she terminated 2 pregnancies. Daviss book,
according to AP, will appeal to those who have
struggled with poverty.
(But: Uh oh, Wendy Davis life story not what it
seems ...To summarize... her second husband
paid her way through her last two years of
college and all of Harvard Law School, he raised
their two daughters for whom she didnt even
fight for custody. She left her husband the day
after he made her last student loan payment.)

HGOP MEETING: 6:00

nov

What an amazing time we had visiting with our slate of Republican state and federal
candidates at Baywood on September 6! If you were able to attend the luncheon, you know
what a uniquely qualified group they are. They are familiar with the world of politics and
know the world of business, a rare combination when compared to those who currently
serve in government. When candidates know that they are running to do whats good for
the people, they seem to have a different demeanor. I, for one, found our candidates down
to earth, highly approachable, and creative problem solvers.
Our current Northwest Region Director, Elissa Wadleigh, is to be commended for her work in
gathering the troops and orchestrating the event. In fact, she has also developed a DVD of
the debate between Governor Brown and our own Neel Kashkari for us to use in gatherings
in our homes to share the differences between the two candidates. If you would like a copy
to share with friends, please let me know as soon as possible. We realize we wont win every
contest, but we will make some inroads. Many people are fed up with the status quo. Its
our job, therefore, to inform and encourage both the conservative and the crossover voter
that its time to pick up the pen and vote for the kind of change that will count for people
and the state in general.
By the way, a big thank you to all of you who have volunteered to make a difference this
election. I will be calling you shortly to see who will be walking and who will be calling for
state and local candidates so we can really help to make a difference. We want to be part of
the solution and not the problem.
On another note, we have an exciting event on the horizon! Our annual auction dinner will
be held on Sunday, October 12, at 445 Herrick Road, starting at 5:30 p.m. with cocktails,
dinner at 6:00. The cost of a ticket is $50 per person. You may certainly opt to purchase an
entire table for you and your friends, if you like. By the time you receive this, the event will
be on us, so please call immediately for your reservations and we will work to accommodate
you. John Fund, noted commentator and author, will be our featured guest speaker and he
has just written book exposing Eric Holder called Obamas Enforcer. Books may be purchased
for $30 at our dinner and John will be happy to sign them for you. We will have many great
Silent and Live Auction items on which you may bid. A great time will be had by all! Lets
support our Humboldt County GOP!!!!!
This month we are privileged to have Senator Doug LaMalfa as our guest speaker for
October 16. Those of you who are acquainted with our Senator to the east of us know what a
strong, dynamic speaker and leader he is. Come ready to hear the truth from a heart of
passion for what is right and what we can do to help make it happen for all of us.

Tuesday, Dec 2nd

HGOP MEETING: 6:00

 CFRW Ballot Recommendations:

Prop 1 Water Bond. Funding for Water Quality, Supply,

Treatment, Storage Projects: Yes
Republicans in the legislature fought hard to bring down the cost of this

bond while increasing the amount of money allocated for surface storage
projects to $2.7 billion.
The bond is not perfect, and in fact still has a good amount of money
allocated for some environmental pet projects. But Republicans must
continue to fight for surface storage projects to be completed with this new
bond. Living in a Democrat super majority state, we aren't going to have the
"perfect water bond" come out of Sacramento. But this bond is a step in the
right direction. If this bond does not pass and legislators must go back to the
drawing board, we fear a worse bond will be brought back to the people of
California, without the critical water storage the Republicans fought so hard
to have included in this bond.
Language for dam removal projects were removed from this bond and
instead money will be allocated to fund two dam and reservoir projects, one
in Colusa County and one in Fresno County. The Fresno County site, Temperance Flats, is especially important because our Central Valley Farmers have
been relying so heavily on wells and groundwater that now that infrastructure is unstable. Our farmers need more surface storage to keep California
growing.
Again, it is important to note that this bond is not perfect and Republicans cannot rest on their laurels once it is passed. But we believe this is why
it is so important to work hard to get Republicans elected to the legislature
this cycle. The more Republicans we have protecting our interests in the
Capitol, the better!
__________________

Prop 2 State Budget. Budget Stabilization Account: Yes

Another measure that Republicans worked hard to get to the ballot.

Republicans have been working towards a rainy day fund for years. Every
single Republican legislator in both the Senate and the Assembly voted in
support of this proposition.
Sets aside state revenues in a fund that cannot be used to further state
spending in times of excess.
Finally works to pay down state debt payments.
Another caveat though, this bill must have Republican oversight once
passed to make sure the fund is safe from greedy Democrat spending even
after it is passed.
__________________

Prop 45 Healthcare Insurance Rate Changes. No

A very dangerous measure that would place all insurance rate power in

the hands of one politician, who would also have the decision making ability
for your treatment options.
Would create yet another costly state bureaucracy that would be funded
by your higher healthcare costs.
Sponsored by special interest lawyers who included a hidden provision
allowing them to charge up to $675/hour and make tens of millions in fees
off costly health care lawsuits.
__________________

Prop 46 Drug and Alcohol Testing of Doctors. No

It is no secret this measure was drafted by trial lawyers who stand to

make millions with an increase on the emotional pain and suffering cap for
medical negligence lawsuits.

This measure forces doctors and pharmacists to use a massive statewide

database filled with Californians personal medical prescription information.

A mandate government will find impossible to implement, and a database
with no increased security standards to protect your personal prescription
information from hacking and theft none.
If Californias medical liability cap goes up, you could also lose your
trusted doctor. Its true. Many doctors will be forced to leave California to
practice in states where medical liability insurance is more affordable.
A recent study found that this initiative will increase health care costs
by $9.9 billion annually or more than $1,000/year in higher health costs
for a family of four
It is deceptive. The drug testing of doctors portion of this measure was
only added as an illusion to the real goal of this prop- to raise the cap on
emotional pain and suffering.
__________________

Prop 47 Criminal Sentences. Misdemeanor Penalties: No

Felons with prior convictions for armed robbery, kidnapping, car

jacking, child abuse, residential burglary, arson, assault with a deadly

weapon, and many other serious crimes are still eligible for early release
under this prop.
Judges must rule on a criminals early release based only on the most
recent felony. Prior felony convictions will not affect a judges ruling except
in extraordinary circumstances. This means that serious, violent felons will
be released and there is little a judge can do about it.
Under current law, stealing a gun is a felony, period. Prop 47 would
redefine grand theft in such a way that theft of a firearm could only be
considered a felony if the value of the gun is greater than $950. Almost all
handguns (which are the most stolen kind of firearm) retail for well below
$950. People dont steal guns just so they can add to their gun collection.
They steal guns to commit another crime. People stealing guns are
protected under Proposition 47.
Proposition 47 will reduce the penalty for possession of drugs used to
facilitate date-rape to a simple misdemeanor. No matter how many times
the suspected sexual predator has been charged with possession of
date-rape drugs, it will only be a misdemeanor, and the judge will be forced
to sentence them as if it were their very first time in court.
__________________

Prop 48 Referendum to Overturn Indian Gaming

Compacts: Neutral or No Position
There are pros and cons to this proposition. Thats why the CFRW has

taken a neutral position. It is our hope that the Republican Women research
this prop and decide how this will effect them and the future of California.
It will create thousands of jobs in a depressed economic area. Madera
County is in desperate need of jobs.
But it creates a precedence whereby Indians can game outside of their
tribal land. This is currently unprecedented. The current Indian Gaming Pact
with our state allows tribes to only game on their tribal land. This referendum would allow tribes to petition to the government to game (build
casinos) outside of their tribal land.
