Karen SiegemundSmeared by the Media - How Republicans Can Fight Back

 
Dr. Karen Siegemund is the founder and president of the activist organization"Rage Against the Media," which is committed to fighting against the corruption  of our mainstream media.  After nearly 20 years as a scientist (in the Cold War) then 10 as an educator, she has taken the passions that fueled those endeavors - for the truth, for preserving freedom, for ensuring that all our citizens are as informed as a free nation needs us to be - and is  working towards these same goals by fighting for the objective media that we require and deserve.  Karen is a conservative, and a Republican and currently serves as President of the Pacific Palisades Republican Club.

She has a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Mathematics, a Master's Degree in International Relations, and a PhD in Education and American Culture.  She was raised in California, spent 30 years on the East Coast where she raised her two daughters, and is thrilled to be back in California.   
 
Susan Shelley  
Susan Shelley45th Assembly District

 
Susan Shelley is in the runoff election on November 19th for the 45th Assembly District Seat.

 
She needs YOU to help her get elected.  Volunteers to make phone calls and to walk precincts are very much needed.  The district is large and we need volunteers to help cover it.  This is an extremely important race.  If Susan is elected it will break the super-majority of Democrats in the State Assembly.

 
Please try and make the time to volunteer to help her.  Also, please let your friends, neighbors and family in the district that it is very important that they vote, either by mail-in ballot or that they vote at the polls on November 19.

 
Her opponent Matt Dababneh is a former staffer with Brad Sherman and is well-connected.  He will be well-funded.  We won't be able to compete as far as financing, but we can make up for it by having a well-planned ground game.  

 
We need to knock on every Republican door and make calls into every Republican household in the next eight weeks. That means that we need YOU to volunteer to make phone calls or walk precincts.  This election will be won on turnout. 
 
If we can turn out more Republicans than they turn out Democrats, we can win this race.  There was a 9% turnout in the preliminary election last month.  If we can get a 20% Republican turnout, Susan will win in November!  That is our task.

SFVRC 10 Anniversary Event  
September 15, 2013

 
We had our 10th Anniversary Luncheon at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Sunday, September 15th.  It was a grand event.  We maxed out the room with 200 guests. Great speakers were Evan Sayet, Fred Dryer and Larry Elder.

 
You can see some pictures on our Facebook page and see the whole album by clicking here.  Videos of the event will be available on YouTube shortly.
 
Dine and Donate at Fatburger  
Fatburger LogoPanorama Fatburger is offering an opportunity to help SFVRC

 
As you know the Panorama City Fatburger is owned by two Republicans, Julie Nguyen and John Quintanilla.  They are offering an opportunity for SFVRC members to eat at Fatburger.  It is only two blocks from where we meet at Galpin Ford, so it is easy to go there before or after our meeting, but the offer applies anytime.  

 
Go eat at Panorama City Fatburger, 8261 Sepulveda Blvd (at the corner of Roscoe) Panorama City, 91402.  The phone number there is (818)894-7888.  Keep your receipt and bring it to me or to Karen Klaparda, our secretary.  We can then turn the receipts in to Fatburger and they will donate 15% of the receipts to SFVRC.  It is a great way to help the club by having Fatburger donate a percentage of your bill, but it also helps a local business run by Republicans.
