MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN

DINERSTEIN: “OCCUPY THIS”

Those Occupy guys have it all figured out. In their

world everything is FREE: retirement, health care,drugs, college, mortgages,clunkers and caulkers. In our world everything has a price.You get something by buyingit, getting someone else to buy

it or borrowing the money to buy it.

The last thing the Occupycrowd would ever do is buysomething. That leaves options

2 and 3; either get someone else to buy it or borrow themoney. For seventy years we have been down the“someone else” road. We passed laws requiring businesses to buy our retirement (Social Security), our health care (Medicare, Medicaid, health insurance) and

drugs (Medicare Part D). We even got them to pay our unemployment insurance. Finally the businesscommunity struck back. One look at Obamacare andthey knew we had createdthe 2x4 that would break the economy’s back. Theresponse from the businesscommunity was either automation or offshore. Sonow we do more with less;American workers, that is.

With business tapped outwe went to our backup plan, bankrupt our kids.Did we ever! We piled$15 trillion of known debtand more than $50 trillionof unfunded liabilities(Entitlements) on their cute little heads. They’renot only tapped out today.

They could be tapped out for the next fifty years. Smuch for the “someone else” option. On to th“borrow” plan.

Hello, China. Our Chinese friends are playing chewhile we’re playing checkers. We gave them unlimiteshelf space at Wal-Mart so they would lend us ontrillion dollars. At the end of the day they get the jobrequired to make the products, they figured out thtechnology we thought we had patented, they get

chunk of our $400 billion annual interest payment anultimately, they get our sovereignty. Remember thother Golden Rule: “He who has the gold makes thrules.”

To all those in the Occupy crowd I say this: “If you’not Occupying the White House you’re taking up thwrong space.” To my Conservative friends who areading this column I say: “We may not be the onethat we have been waiting for, but we are the onadults remaining. Like it or not, the burden of savin

our country falls on people like us.”

The Perfect Candidate

By Margi Helschien

Vice Chair, Republican Party of Palm Beach County

Winner of the Jean Pipes Award, 2011

Looking for the Perfect Candidate: smart, brilliant,capable to manage the economy, produce jobs, able

to beat Obama, and fit the mold of Ronald Reagan.

Okay, there is no perfectCandidate. There is noavailable savior. But wedo need a leader, one whowill believe in America'sstrength, its greatness, andits positive energy.

America is in need of agreat leader. Newsweek magazine, Oct. 2011

points out that "with nearly one fifth of the populationout of work, or looking for more, it is no surprise thatvoters long to be saved." Newsweek also points outthat history has shown "the most consequential political leaders of the 20th century, FDR and RonaldReagan, won the White House during economic crises.and achieved lasting influence (not in spite of) because

of the traumatic times they presided over."

Our leader needs to share the dissatisfaction of the waythings are. We need a candidate that will defend theUnited States with pride in his/her country. We need aleader who will tell the truth and not be afraid to dowhat is "right". The leader we choose will understandas FDR and Reagan did, that and as Newsweek pointsout; "the crises they had presided over on the failed,un-American ideology of the previous regime andrelentlessly positioned their sweeping proposals as part

of a grand project to undo the damage and revive realAmerican values". History can repeat itself, but it ishow you deal with it.

Most of us are looking for the same things in acandidate: to maintain our principles of limitedgovernment, lower taxes, respect the dignity of life,recognize family and marriage as the foundation of our society, maintain balance of power among the

branches of government, and protect our constitutionliberties.

The candidate that wins will be someone who showthe ability to run this country like a successful busine

and raise us out of this financial mess. The candidathat will win because he does not follow the path. Hwill win because he chose his own path, a path thwill keep America as Ronald Reagan said in 198"truly the greatest, freest, strongest nation on earth."

Not Down for the Struggle By Raymond Tresca

MSNBC’s interview Herman Cain b

Lawrence O'Donneshould be a veenlightening lesson ohow the left attempts derail every blacconservative. Heattempted to berate MCain because he wnot on board with civ

rights activism in the 60ʼs. No such scrutiny wleveled at Barack Obama except maybe by A

Sharpton, who questioned whether Obama was “blacenough.”

While it doesn’t really mean a darn thing, wh percentage of blacks actually did march? Are all trest then relegated to an irrelevant pile? When blacconservatives come to the political forefront who dnot walk in lock step with liberal and Democratideals the attack begins like a feeding frenzy at SWorlds shark tank. Don’t ask them about their ideand solutions; just go after every morsel of red me

you can feed to the left.

The numbers of conservative blacks is growinOrganizations like the Frederick Douglass Foundatio believe in free market principles and limgovernment. Many associate with the Tea Party. Tthem, it is not a black and white issue but a commosense approach to what has made this country greand the recognition of what threatens it today.

Joe Kaufman Discusses Mid East Policy

at East Boca Synagogue

Criticizes Obama And Wasserman Schultz For Placing America and Israel in Danger

BOCA RATON, FL. October 18, 2011. U.S.Congressional Candidate and investigative journalist Joe Kaufman, speaking at the Chabad

of East Boca synagogue, discussed a number of issues regarding the Middle East. Kaufman wasinvited to speak based on his ten years of experience working in the counter-terrorism fieldand his expertise in Middle Eastern and SouthAsian affairs.

During his talk, Kaufman criticized PresidentBarack Obama and DNC Chair DebbieWasserman Schultz for supporting policies andinitiatives that, according to Kaufman, would place both America and Israel in danger.

Both Obama and Wasserman Schultz have put pressure on Israel to initiate peace talks with

Palestinians bygoing back to pre-1967 borders.Kaufman describesthese borders as being “suicide” for Israel. Israeli PrimeMinister Binyamin Netanyahu hasstated that these borders would beindefensible.

As well, Kaufmancriticized Obama

and Wasserman Schultz for their support of recentrevolutions that have taken place in the MiddleEast, one of which removed Israel and America’s peace partner, Hosni Mubarak, from the region.The United States invested billions of dollars of weaponry in the Mubarak regime.

Kaufman stated that the Muslim Brotherhood behind the revolutions in Egypt and Syria and ththe new Libyan leadership consists of elemen

from the Brotherhood and al-Qaeda. The grouthat is currently controlling Tripoli – the capitand heart of Libya – is the Libyan Islamic FightinGroup (LIFG), an organization found on the U.State Department’s list of Foreign TerroriOrganizations (FTOs) specifically for its past clorelationship to Osama bin Laden.

Kaufman paints a dangerous picture for Israewhereby the tiny Jewish state is surrounde

entirely by those who wish to destroy her alonwith all past signed peace treaties. This includes potentially nuclear Iran, a Hezbollah-controllLebanon, and Hamas threatening attacks froGaza, Cairo and Damascus.

… ‘Struggle’ continued from page 3

May I revisit some obscure history? The RepublicanParty was born primarily in opposition to the Kansas- Nebraska Act, which expanded slavery in the States. TheAct was written by Stephen Douglas, a Democrat.

Immediately following the Civil War, 25 Republican blacks were voted into the Senate and the House. Half of them were former slaves. Go check the current history books in use by students in high schools and universitiesand see if you can find any of this. The 13th Amendmentin 1865 that abolished slavery had 100% Republican and23% Democrat support. In 1868, the 14 th Amendment for citizenship of former slaves was approved with 93%Republican and 0% Democrat support. In 1870, the 15thAmendment, giving blacks the right to vote was passedwith 100% Republican and zero Democrat support. I

could go on and on, but I will spare you and fasforward to 1964. The Civil Rights Act was passed afta cloture vote ended a filibuster by Senator Robert ByrDemocrat and former Klan member; 80% Republicaand 63% Democrat support. For the record, TennesseSenator Al Gore Sr., and Arkansas Senator WilliaFulbright, a Clinton mentor, voted against it.

I respectfully ask, how the heck did we get to where ware now? Republicans seen as racists and the only hop blacks have is to vote Democrat? If you would like sommore examples from1870 to 1964, just ask. The onthing I will add, is that Woodrow Wilson, Democrat wthe first President to segregate the military anWashington.

So, do you think history as it is taught is a farepresentation of the facts?

Rick Santorum Campaign is Organizing

in Palm Beach County By Michael Christ

Rick Santorum has stood for America his entire life.

Now, he asks you to stand with him. Don't let the media,the pundits, or the flip-floppers decide this election. Rick is the candidate who not only talks the talk, he walks

the walk. Rick has been fighting for our conservativevalues all of his life. He hasn't changed his party when it

became politically expedientto do so. And, he didn'tchange his convictions inorder to run for President. Inshort, Rick Santorum is theconsistent conservativewho will defeat Obama in2012.

Many Americans are proudto stand alongside Rick because he is the socialconservative of this race.

You don't have to worry about Rick muddling his stanceon abortion—Senator Santorum has practiced a culture of life and passed the Partial Birth Abortion Act. You won'thave to worry about Rick's support for the family. Herealizes that American society is predicated on marriage

and the family. That's why he spoke of the value of thefamily to the economy in the Bloomberg New Hampshiredebate.

While Senator Santorum is proud to be known for fighting for America' families, the unborn, and traditionalmarriage, amongst his greatest accomplishments isreforming entitlements. He helped author and manage thesuccessful Welfare Reform Act of 1993 that helped produced a balanced budget. Rick was reformingentitlements and combating the welfare state before itwas cool.

Rick Santorum is evenwilling to go against hisown party in order to dowhat is right for America. Senator Santorum was a member of the Gang of Seventhat successfullyreformed the House of Representatives in the

90s. Rick's work launched the Republican takeover Congress, ended special perks for elected officials, an put the Democratic Chairman of the Ways and Mea

Committee in jail.

Like Ronald Reagan, Rick believes in peace, througstrength. Unlike some of the other presidenticandidates, Senator Santorum believes that the world better off because America is the most exception

nation in all of human history. That's why he is willinto stand up to the other candidates in debates when thecall for abandoning our efforts to fight for freedoaround the world. Rick was at the forefront of combatinthe threat of a nuclear Iran when he sponsored and pass

the Iran Freedom and Support Act in an effort to forregime change in Iran.

Americans stand with Rick Santorum because he has thfrankness, fortitude, faith, and fearlessness to fight thgood fight and reclaim America. He has the courage fight for America.

If you would like to get involved, please contact me 561-558-7936 or [email protected]. I am happy connect you with our campaign.

Please check out this speech given by Rick the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalitiogathering: http://www.therightscoop.com/rick

My Concern over Obama's Mysterious

Fascination with Islam By Alan Bergstein

Iranians, by law, do not follow Christian customs, so why d

President Obama gift wrap an early Christmas present for thmullahs.....an American-military-free, defenseless, lraq: under t palm tree? This, in addition to permitting and encouraging them put together an atomic bomb is mindnumbing. Except, of course, if youknew nothing of Obama's almostoverwhelming penchant for all thingsMuslim. Almost a fascination withthis religion.

Recall his speeches in Cairo andTurkey where he reached out his handin friendship to Muslim nations andtold the world that his country was

not at war with Muslims. Well, justwho bombed the WTC and what isthe national religion in Iraq andAfghanistan? And with what group are all of odomestic terrorists affiliated? He also claimed that his countwas one of "the largest Muslim countries in the world." With on1.8 million Muslims in the USA, as of most reliable 20estimates, that is quite a whopper. But not if the guy believes it, rather, wants to believe it.

Obama treats Israel as the Mideast culprit and offers it the Ramadan turkey on the table for Hamas and the terrorPalestinian Authority without calling attention to the terror bo

groups unleash against Israel. Please note that he shrugs at Iran building THE BOMB, but condemns Israel for building HOME

in its own capital city. He fiercely supports the Ground Zemosque yet he speaks out for the separation of church and stawhen it comes to Christian issues.

Let's take into consideration his birth religion. He and hmainstream media went ballistic when it was evident he was boto a Muslim father and spent four years studying and practiciIslam in Indonesia. "A big lie!" they all screamed, ignoring thhis given name was Barack Hussein Obama. It's not like it wIrving David Cohen. But in his speeches to Muslim audiences reminds them of his sudden found Muslim roots.

Add to all of the above, Obama's ignoring the stealth, Jihadinvasion and threat to this country with Koranic law eroding oConstitution. His complicity, together with the Department Justice in ignoring the sharia threats to our legal system requiranswers. All the more reason for all of us to work together defeat not only Obama in the next election but all the Democrawho will carry the water for the camel whose nose is lifting up tsecurity of the strength tent that protects us, our kids and all futuAmerican generations. Ted Deutch and Debbie W. Schulimmediately come to mind.

GET TO WORK!

Lea Hope Becker: I was a

voter of Democrats during my life inthe Chicago area, which comprisedmany years. I networked with the politicians and had liberal friends. I began a solo law practice in 1983 andnetworked even more. My specialtywas tax law, since I also had acquireda CPA after my name. I have been a

student of the financial pages for moreyears than I care to admit. Then Iremarried an old flame and moved toUpstate New York where my newhusband re-educated me as to political wisdom. It wasn't difficultfor me to make the change, since my knowledge of thingsfinancial always did make me scratch my head regarding how theliberals rolled out their math.

Then we moved to West Palm Beach and, since I was lonely for fellow thinkers and planners, I joined the Wellington areaRepublican Club and the rest is obvious. Becoming a player,meaning running for some sort of elected office, is beyond my

endurance now, so as an alternative pursuit and a system for keeping me off the streets, I write and publish humorous books.They are not political, but if one reads between the lines,especially my latest, "I Promise To Stay Married (This Time)," it'snot difficult to see where my philosophy lies. I still practice taxlaw, but since I'm not licensed in Florida (only in Illinois and NewYork), I became a Florida Certified Family Mediator. In my sparetime I drive my husband nuts with my ambition, but he still prefers my brand of prodding companionship to being lonely.Hope to meet you at one of our meetings. You may read my"page" on Facebook, which I have never understood how tomanage.

New York, grew up in Whitestone,

I ran for WellingtVillage Council. That was a lesson in when losing meawinning. Glad I ran, but even happier that I lost.

I decided to go to CPAC-FL a few weeks back. I heard the Boclub was hiring a bus to Orlando, so I signed up, hoping to mesome new friends. I like being in a room with like minded peoplwell, holy cow! What a great group of people I met from the PalBeach Republican Club. I had a fabulous time at CPAC and P5didn’t even know there were so many people who thought likedid. I am not alone! My new friends told me about the RepublicExecutive Committee and that it was the next step for me to joinwent to the meeting at the Vista Center and was sold on Sid anthe whole concept in a minute. I am looking forward to contactithe Republican voters in my precinct and being a poll watcher oElection Day. I feel I can make a difference and change minwithout ever running for office myself. I feel like I have found m place and I am so happy to be associated with everyone from th

The Four Freedoms Plan: George LeMieux

The American economy is on lifesupport. Massive unemployment,record foreclosures, staggeringdebt, and a loss of hope for the

future have dampened our country’s traditional optimism. Inrecent years, Washington hasconstrained the American peoplewith the growth of government,taxes, regulations, and mandates.By enacting the right economic policies, we can end America’s decline.

My Four Freedoms Plan - Freedom to Work, Freedom fromDebt, Freedom from Foreign Dependence, and Freedom toPursue the American Dream - will right our nation’s

economic course for future generations.

Freedom to Work: We must dramatically reduce the business tax rate from its current uncompetitive level; endthe rampant cronyism stemming from tax loopholes,government bailouts, and subsidies; overhaul theunnecessarily complicated tax code in favor of a flatter,fairer system; and ban the NLRB from interfering with private sector business decisions.

Freedom from Debt: A return to the spending levels of jufour years ago would put the country on course to fiscstability. A balanced budget amendment to the Constitutioand spending caps tied to GDP would prevent us frogetting into this mess ever again. We must tackentitlements by reforming Social Security and Medicare ways that protect current seniors and preserve the programfor future generations. Means testing and raising tretirement age for Americans under the age of 55 will heget us there.

Freedom from Foreign Dependence: America cannot leathe world in economic growth when we depend on foreignations for our credit and energy. When we get our fischouse in order, we will stop borrowing from foreigcreditors, mainly China. We must lift bans on domestic oand natural gas drilling in Alaska and allow drilling onhundred miles off the coast. By encouraging domestexploration of clean coal and natural gas, as well expanding the safe use of nuclear energy, we will unleasAmerica’s natural resources resulting in new jobs aneconomic growth.

Freedom to Pursue the American Dream: Families must bable to make their own fundamental choices in life withoundue government interference. Obamacare must brepealed so Americans have the freedom to choose oneown doctor without the government interfering in thdoctor/patient relationship and parents need the freedom select the best schools for their children.

There is nothing we as Americans cannot do. Released frothe burden of too much debt, too many taxes, regulationand mandates, and an over reliance on foreign nations fcredit and energy, Americans will again be empowered pursue our dreams and regain our national strengFollowing the Four Freedoms Plan ensures our best daywill lie ahead and we will fulfill the American creed theach generation leaves its children with a better opportunito succeed.
