We will take a vote on having SFVRC give endorsements to these two Republican candidates, both of whom are running in non-partisan races.

Born August 11, 1957, Mark is a descendant of the Mohawk and Apache tribes, mixed with German, English, Spanish and French. After graduation from El Camino Real High School in 1975, Reed studied Architectural Drafting at Pierce Jr. College from 1976-1978.

Three Choices, not Third Party
Karen Kenney, coordinator of the San Fernando Valley Patriots, is a psychotherapist in private practice in Encino. She is a former journalist (Los Angeles Daily News), former typesetter (Los Angeles Times), former records-and-identification clerk (LAPD) and a former insurance clerk (Continental National Assurance) and current pet owner of "Dudley," a rescued mini-schnauzer/sealyham terrier, who often accompanies her to outdoor rallies. This is her first attempt at "community organizing" and she is grateful daily for the beloved "TeaPots" she has met through this effort to restore American principles to local, state and national governing via joining the modern tea party movement organized by the Tea Party Patriots.
The San Fernando Valley Patriots began in May 2009 after the nationwide Tax Day Tea Party events of April 15 ignited the 18th-century spirit of the colonial Boston Tea Party to protest the tax tyranny of the British government on its American citizens.
The tax-and-spend policies of our federal, state and local governments--and our first public event at Warner Center Park in Woodland Hills on July Fourth--confirmed our commitment to promote the principles of governance based on the the founding documents of the nation: The Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution. We believe that an informed citizen makes a better voter and that a better voter makes better choices for elected officials to represent us in this Republic.
Our goal is to gather like-minded people that value limited government, free-market principles and individual liberty and to act as one to remind those that govern us that they work "at the consent of the governed."
