President’s Message

Dear Members,

As I write my final message for the 2015 RWOP newsletter a few days before

Thanksgiving, I am reminded how grateful I am to be a member of this amazing

club. One of our male associate members and I were attempting to describe the

uniqueness of RWOP and found it hard to put into words. A few descriptors on

which I have landed are energetic, contagious, exciting, friendly and uplifting.

You simply feel that there is something very special at our luncheons and other

events. Another descriptor, and possibly the most important, is sincere. There is

nothing pretentious or uppity about our club. We welcome all Republicans to join us as we work to

get Republicans elected and educate our members on the conservative and free market

principles of our party.

I begin every luncheon with, “It is my honor to be the President of RWOP,” and I mean it from the

bottom of my heart. Every decision I have made and initiative taken have been screened through

the lens of what is best for this club. I wish the new 2016 Executive Committee and Board

continued success and opportunity for continuous improvement. We have many new ideas to

implement next year with the overarching national goal of maintaining majorities in the House and

Senate and taking back the White House. This will be no small task, but together we can win big

in 2016! Thank you for your support throughout this past year. RWOP is a very large team of

committed members, and you are key to its continued success.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year!

Love you all,

Billie Orr

Americanism Americanism & Federal Issues

Noooo, not terrorism.

The current occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has told the American people recently that it is "Climate Change" that threatens our very existence.

Enter ISIS, Islamic militants intent on destroying Western civilization in a 9/11-style, multi-pronged attack over Paris. Reported chatter says they will target America next. And POTUS thinks our real threat is Climate Change?!

BHO announced that the United States will take in 75,000 Syrian refugees over the next 5 years; he said we should not accept Christians if we don't accept Muslims. Mr. President, Christians do not decapitate people, burn them alive, or throw them from the top of tall buildings. He assured us that we will vet them, but will that happen? Remember the Tsarnaev brothers who, in 2013, bombed the Boston City Marathon killing 4 people? Their family immigrated to the United States in 2002 for political asylum. Never vetted, the boys embraced radical Islam while growing up in America.

We do not have the capacity to vet thousands of refugees while keeping Americans safe. These immigrants can purchase identities all over Europe and there is no way to check their validity. Many of our nation's governors have said their states will not accept these refugees, not knowing who is here to assimilate, and who is here to establish a caliphate.

We appreciate Governor Doug Ducey and the Arizona State Legislature’s efforts to stand up against further intrusion into our state by not accepting Syrian refugees following the terrorist attacks in Paris.

The New England Primer

The first American textbook, used for 250 years, was published in 1690 with taxpayer

funding. Many of our Founders were raised on this textbook, introducing students to

the alphabet, phonics and Scripture verses.

A—A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother

(Proverbs 10:1)

B—Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure and trouble. (Proverbs

15:16)

A—In Adam’s fall, we sinned all.

B—Heaven to find, the Bible mind.

C—Christ crucified, for sinners died.

It also contained more than 100 questions, such as:

Which is the 5th Commandment and what is required of the 5th Commandment?

And, What is the sum of the Ten Commandments? Answer: “The sum of the Ten Commandments is, to love the

Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our strength, and with all our mind, and our neighbor

as ourselves.”

The Primer also contained the Lord’s Prayer and “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep,” prayer. The Supreme Court in

1962 ignored the Founding Fathers’ precedence to include these lessons in the current New England Primer.

From the Facebook page of Prescott’s Wreath’s Across America: “Good morning, I wanted to share our current Wreath count as of today...854! That’s right, 854 Wreaths! This wouldn't be possible without the amazing outpouring of support from this community! ... I will post our final Wreath count as soon as Nationals lets me know. Thank you all for your support and keep spreading the word about the Ceremony date and time!”

This year, the ceremony celebrating the men and women who gave their final measure will be memorialized on Saturday, December 12 at 10am at the Prescott National Cemetery off Hwy. 89 and Hwy. 69. This is a wonderful ceremony to show grade schoolers why we also have a Memorial Day in May.
