In addition to monthly lunch programs featuring informative guestspeakers, members enjoyed several social events last fall. e Club’sannual members-only Holiday Party was held for the second year atShady Canyon Golf Club, while our packed Election Night suite atthe Irvine Hyatt featured a special wine tasting from Club PresidentBob Loewen’s private collection. More photos inside.

Lincoln Club members had no shortage of election-related keynote speakers over the past several months, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, talk radio host Hugh Hewitt, Tea Party ‘father’ Dick Armey, and Victor Davis Hanson. Conservative media activistAndrew Breitbart, perhaps best known as a co-founder of the Drudge Report and BigGov-ernment.com website that broke the Acorn scandal in 2009, started off a new year of programsin February. For photos from these events, see pages 10-19 and for a preview of coming programs, see page 8.

President’s MessageBy Robert W. Loewen

epublicans needed to soak their hands in ice after anevening of high fives last November when NancyPelosi was swept from control of the House in a land-slide. Even better, Republicans took the governors’

mansions and state legislatures in far more key states than expected in a year when reapportionment really mattered.

But California was a different story. Not one Congressional seatchanged hands—not even in the Central Valley where Democ-rats defiantly turned off irrigation water to drought-strickenfarms in order to satisfy their radical environmentalist backers.Nor were Republicans able to secure a single statewide electedoffice. Republican lore that a popular centrist like Steve Cooleycould defeat a hard left radical like Kamala Harris was exposedas myth when voters who had supported Cooley for DA in twoprevious nonpartisan elections voted against him when he ran inthe partisan attorney general race.

Few would disagree that among the complex reasons for the decline in Republican fortunes in California is the failure of Re-publican candidates to capture a large enough share of the Latinovote. In the race for governor, Jerry Brown won 63% of theLatino vote compared to Whitman’s 34% despite being outspentby a substantial margin in Latino districts, and Boxer received66% of Latino votes for Senate compared to Fiorina’s 31%. Inthe 47th Congressional District, where polls taken the day be-fore the election showed Van Tran neck and neck with party girlCongresswoman Loretta Sanchez, Van lost by 13% based almostentirely on an unexpectedly high Latino turnout.

e Orange County Register reported recently, “Latinos now account for 37 percent of California’s population, and will out-number non-Latino whites by 2020, according to state Depart-ment of Finance projections. By 2040, Latinos will be a majorityof Orange County residents and by 2050, they will account fora majority of the state’s population.”

Is there hope for California Republicans? Sure, but not if theycontinue to ignore the Latino community. Many from theLatino community say that Latino voters agree with Republi-cans on a number of issues, but they also say that Latinos willnot listen to Republicans on common issues until Republicansadopt a message on immigration that resonates with Latino vot-ers. is does not mean that Republicans must suddenly becomeDemocrats, but it does mean that Republicans must figure outwhat they are for.

What actually is Republicans’ stanceon immigration? Everyone knows thatRepublicans are for protecting ourborders. ey also know that Democ-rats favor amnesty for the 12 millionimmigrants, mostly Latinos, who arehere illegally, and that Republicans are against amnesty. But whatare Republicans for? What will Republicans do about immigra-tion when they are in charge? Until Republicans explain whatthey are for, they leave a gap that the Democrats fill with mis-information ...that leaves a negative impression on Latino vot-ers...then the Democrats get elected...and make governmentbigger...and raise your taxes ...and invade your liberties... youget the picture.

e truth is that conservative, free-market principles afford so-lutions to the problem of immigration that can be appealing toLatino voters. Free trade is a good example. Republicans sup-port free trade, which promotes prosperity and more jobs onboth sides of the border. Some of those new jobs in the U.S. canbest be filled through a guest worker program, which empha-sizes temporary, legal employment that provides a net benefit toour economy by someone who pays taxes and crosses the borderlegally. Such improved economic conditions would ease the flowof illegal immigration considerably, making border security eas-ier and cheaper to manage. Democrats, by contrast, generallyoppose free trade and guest worker programs because their unionmasters are against them. In this way, Republicans can seize theinitiative from Democrats on immigration reform with incre-mental proposals for using free-market solutions to create realbenefits for Latinos that will ease the problem of illegal immi-gration for everyone.

Republican candidates need solutions like these. e LincolnClub can lead the way. at is why I have asked Board member Teresa Hernandez to chair the newly formed Immi-gration Reform Committee, a subcommittee of the IssuesCommittee. It meets every second ursday at my offices at5:15 pm. Please attend and share your views on this impor-tant subject. e Club will then share its views with our stateand federal legislators, and we will begin to change the votingpatterns in California.

ast year was particularly interesting in that the year pro-vided a spectrum of good and not so good news atevery level from politics to the economy. e nationmoved to the right and California reinforced its

moniker as the left coast.

Membership in 2010 was no exception, as we missed our personalgoals but, by many accounts, exceeded expectations. e goodnews is that we reversed the trend of 2009 during which we fin-ished with fewer members than we started.

I am pleased to report that last year, the Membership Committee,with the support of many of our club members, produced a net gainof five new members for the year. at doesn’t sound like much,but the trend is moving in a positive direction fueled by a surge inDecember that has continued through the early part of this year.

ere seems to be a strong and enthusiastic desire for people toget off the sidelines, especially those in the area of healthcare. at

trend requires no explanation as Obamacare has sent shockwavesthroughout the country and especiallyin the medical community. As theeconomy remains fragile, we will refrain from setting overly ambitious,lofty goals but make no doubt that there is an optimistic overtonein our meetings.

A new development we initiated in the last quarter has been themerging of the Communications and Membership Committees,which presents a natural fit and provides improved efficiencies to both of our committees. Barring any extreme unexpected eco-nomic meltdown or other severe condition, we are optimisticallylooking forward to strengthening the Club through expandedmembership.

ank you for your continuing support.

Why did you decide to join the Lincoln Club? What attracted you to the Club?

I became active in the Republican Party when I joined theYoung Republicans while in college. I also worked for a Re-publican State Senator as a Senate Fellow. However, I becameinactive in the Republican Party because I felt that the partywas not staying true to their principles. When my once apolit-ical husband (Dr. James Huang) joined the Lincoln Club, hewas thrilled to be with a group of people who shared his beliefs.I was skeptical that there was a group that truly embraces theseconservative beliefs. I have met many Republicans and I havebeen disappointed that they espouse the conservative princi-ples when it was to their political gain or convenience. How-ever, my husband insisted that the members at Lincoln Clubpractice principles over politics. After meeting several LincolnClub members, I realized my husband was right–there is agroup that embraces and practices these conservative values.

What do you consider to be the most important political or public policy issue? What issues are you most passionateabout?

I am concerned about the environmental restoration and waterprojects in our state. e taxpayers are asked to pay billions ofdollars under a false promise that the money will be used toprovide clean water and efficient water delivery to all Califor-nians. Yet, the only thing we have seen is the reduction of waterflow to Central Valley, which decimated our dominating agri-cultural enterprises. In 2012, we will be asked to approve a $13billion dollar bond in water restoration projects and a periph-

eral canal, which was rejected by vot-ers in the early 1980’s. I worked onthis issue as a Senate Fellow in 1997and I am still concerned that ourstate is advancing a policy that sim-ply wastes taxpayer dollars.

If you could hand-pick the next U.S. president, who wouldyou choose and why?

I don’t know who is the best candidate at this time, but I thinkthat he/she must have the following platform: across the boardpay cut for all federal employees, including the President andlegislators; develop a plan that results in an efficient govern-ment; restructure the corporate tax rate so that multinationalcompanies can bring their overseas profit back to the UnitedStates and invest in America without paying exorbitant taxes;reduce regulations that hinders our abilities to operate a prof-itable business; and Medicare reform that addresses health carecost for seniors, reduction of waste and fraud, and fair compensation to doctors.

What is something that most people may not know about you?

From October 1993 to July 1994, I was privileged to work withgirls who were sold into prostitution in Taiwan. It was the firstshelter of its kind and the shelter was kept in secret to preventthe pimps from kidnapping the girls. Many girls were sold because their families could not afford to have another mouthto feed or their families simply did not want to have a female.is experience changed me. Child abuse is an issue that transcends politics and culture.

he Communications Committee has joined forceswith the Membership Committee in hopes of spread-ing the message and building interest in the Club andits causes in this non-election year.

Buoyed by the success of our radio advertisements touting our voterguide, which resulted in a huge spike in traffic to our website, we areplanning on expanding the radio campaign to raise awareness of theClub and spark interest in our causes – namely paycheck protec-tion and limiting the role of government.

We are also focusing on expanding our efforts at using new mediato get the word out. In 2010, we revamped our website by addingan interactive blogging forum that allows members and guests tostay on top of all Club activities and general political news and opin-

ion. We hope to exponentially increasethe traffic to the site and expand the in-teractivity functions.

e Club continues to bolster its pres-ence on social networking sites. You canfollow the Club on both Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/lincol-ncluboc) and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/lincolncluboc).

e Communications Committee meets the last Wednesday ofevery month at noon at the offices of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher,3161 Michelson Drive, 12th Floor, Irvine. Our next meetingwill be on March 30.

We are always looking for members who can help us spread theword through new or conventional media.

Why did you decide to join the Lincoln Club? What attracted you to the Club?

I have always been interested in politics and after attendingsome of the Lincoln Club events, I was hooked. I also havesome friends who are members and had the privilege of work-ing with Bob Loewen and Clare Vanegas in co-hosting an eventduring last year’s campaign cycle. e Lincoln Club is in syncwith my personal political ideology and I continue to meetmore interesting people through my affiliation.

What do you consider to be the most important political orpublic policy issue? What issues are you most passionateabout?

I think, without question, that the greatest political issue fac-ing California and its citizens is the over-taxation and regula-tion of the private sector by our governments (both inSacramento and in D.C.). We need to stimulate businessgrowth in California and therefore provide the dollars and di-rection to take the lead in bringing California back to excel-lence! Of course, a lot more needs to occur; but I believe theprivate sector is the answer.

If you could hand-pick the nextU.S. president, who would youchoose and why?

I have yet to see the right candidate appear on my radar screen.I think someone like Governor Christie in New Jersey is thekind of candidate we need – someone who was elected facingtough challenges and choices. He has taken action, and in myopinion, has taken many of the correct actions. I just think weneed time for Christie’s policies to take hold and display to therest of the country what needs to be done on a much largerbasis to fix this country. Rep. Paul Ryan is another candidatewho could get my vote; I just need to see some of these Republican leaders do what they say they are going to do. Ifthey do, they will get my vote.

What is something that most people may not know about you?

I am a retired U.S. Navy Commander. I attended VillanovaUniversity on a NROTC scholarship and served nine years onactive duty, followed by 12 years in the Naval Reserves. I am aveteran of Operation Desert Shield.

NEW MEMBER SPOTLIGHTJohn Mastrocola, Regional Administrator of GenerationsHealthcare and Administrator of Newport Nursing andRehabilitation Center

By Michael Reynolds, Legislative Committee Chairman

ollowing a very busy 2010, the Legislative Commit-tee may receive something of a respite in 2011. eLegislative Committee’s main purposes are (1) to re-view, analyze and evaluate pending ballot initiatives

and legislation of significance at the state and local level and(2) to report back and recommend appropriate courses of ac-tion to the Club’s Board of Directors – which can include po-sitions, endorsements, and financial support.

Last November’s elections were widely hailed as a return to fis-cal sanity, as Democrats suffered their worst defeat in decades.But California, parched from a drought of common sense forthe better part of the past twelve years, didn’t even feel the sprayfrom the conservative tsunami that swept Republicans into officeacross the rest of the nation. By defeating Proposition 23 lastNovember, California voters gave an enthusiastic thumbs-up tothe green agenda of destroying jobs, punishing progress andchasing businesses out of the state. By making it easier for De-mocrats to pass budgets without Republican support, voters haveensured that the Party of Endless Taxpayer-Funded Largesse willcontinue to please its public employee union captors.

So where do we go from here? We do not expect many ballotmeasures in 2011. However, Jerry Brown – the former Gover-

nor, U.S. Presidential candidate,Trustee of the Los Angeles Commu-nity College District, Mayor of Oak-land, Secretary of State (California),Attorney General (California), U.S.Senate candidate, seminary student-turned Berkeley student-turned Yale Law student, Chairmanof the Democratic Party and current Governor (has this guyever had a real job?) – has promised to put any taxes to a voteof the people. So we may see a ballot initiative to raise taxes orto keep the previous “temporary” tax increases from expiring.

e Legislative Committee has also created a cadre of regularliaisons between our committee and Orange County’s electedofficials. Each month we will receive reports from our volun-teer liaisons regarding the latest goings-on in Sacramento andWashington. We have received updates so far this year fromRep. John Campbell’s office, and are hoping to hear soon from Rep. Darrell Issa.

We meet at 5:15 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month, asthe guests of Bob Loewen and his firm Gibson, Dunn &Crutcher (3161 Michelson Drive, 12th Floor, Irvine.) Wehope to see you at our next meeting on April 15.

By Kathy Gremer, Issues Committee Chairwoman

he Issues Committee was formed to identify broadpublic policy issues that the Club can focus on eachelection cycle. Under the previous leadership of DavidBahnsen, who now serves as Programs Committee

Chairman, the Issues Committee developed an “Issues Statement”that is posted on our website and that we will be updating as the2012 election approaches.

anks to the passion and energy of our members, two new sub-committees have formed to address two major issues that will bepivotal for Republicans to address in the coming election.

e Immigration Reform Subcommittee is led by Teresa Her-nandez (twinsok@mac.com) and its goal is to discuss and developsolutions to immigration reform. e subcommittee will proposerecommendations for the Club’s overall position on immigration tothe Issues Committee, which will then propose a position for theClub’s Board of Directors to take. e committee will meet on thesecond ursdays of the month at 5:15 pm at Gibson, Dunn &Crutcher. e next meeting will be March 10.

e Healthcare Innovations Subcom-mittee is co-chaired by Dr. MarcyZwelling (marcy@z-doc.com) and Dr.James Huang (jhuangdo@gmail.com).e job of this committee is to developrecommendations for the Club’s positionon what health care reform should entail, and those recommenda-tions will be vetted through the Issues Committee before being rec-ommended to the Board of Directors for an official Club position.is committee will meet on the third Tuesdays of the monthstarting March 15 at 5:15 pm at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.

Any Lincoln Club member who has a passion or desire to help influence the Club’s official positions can join either or all of thesecommittees. Simply show up to the meeting or contact me atkathy@lakeinsurance.net.

e Issues Committee will meet to vet both of these critical issueson the last ursday of the month at 5:15 pm, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.

LINCOLN CLUB

By Ivan Marks, Local Elections Committee Chairman

ver 150 candidates for city councils and schoolboards in Orange County requested the Club’s en-dorsement in 2010. Committee members DavidBahnsen, Aaron Dishon, Bob Fish, Dr. James

Huang, Jeff Lalloway, Pat Maciariello, Robert Ming, DonnaVarner and I interviewed the candidates and recommended en-dorsement of 41 city council candidates from 21 Orange Countycities (Anaheim, Brea, Buena Park, Costa Mesa, Cypress, DanaPoint, Fountain Valley, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Irvine La-guna Niguel, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, Orange,Rancho Santa Margarita, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, SealBeach, Villa Park and Yorba Linda) and seven school board mem-bers from three school districts (Capistrano Unified, Orange Uni-fied and the South Coast Community College District). Seventypercent of those endorsed went on to win their respective elec-tions. anks to those who did the interviewing.

Many candidates who say they share the Lincoln Club’s core prin-ciples fail to put those principles into action at the local level. eymay, for example, have an opportunity to negotiate greater em-ployee retirement contributions for their police or firemen, butwhen push comes to shove, they give into the union demands and

back away from reforms, perhaps outof either fear of political retribution orignorance of the real costs involved.

So, in addition to candidate endorse-ments, our committee tries to stay en-gaged with local council members by inviting them to speak aboutissues they face in their cities that are of importance to the Club.For example, the Mayor of Yorba Linda, Nancy Rikel, will addressour committee, as that city is considering subsidizing the devel-opment of an equestrian center using taxpayer dollars. is raisesred flags on several levels, not the least of which is the issue ofwhether such an enterprise is a prudent use of taxpayers’ money.

Many of the city councilmembers that we encounter have aspira-tions for higher office, so this committee is also a good way formembers’ to really get to know, and perhaps identify, our future“John Campbells” and “Ed Royces”. It is also a great way to stayon top of good government issues at the local level.

We welcome your participation. We meet every first Wednesdayfrom 8–9 a.m. at Farmers & Merchants Bank, 4695 MacArthurCt., Newport Beach.

By David Bahnsen, Programs Committee Chairman

t is with great excitement that I begin my first year as chair ofthe Lincoln Club’s Program Committee, replacing my dearfriend and the very capable, Karen Lugo. Last fall, thanks toKaren and several other members such as Teresa Hernandez,

the Club welcomed to its stage Dick Armey, Newt Gingrich, andHugh Hewitt, among others. e programs that the club puts onare at the very heart of what we as a club are seeking to accomplish,and I am really honored that Bob asked me to serve in this capacity.

Our first program of the year featured Andrew Breitbart from theDrudge Report and BigGovernment.com, who is also known asbeing one of the major players in exposing the corruption of ACORN. In February, the club welcomed back best-selling author and renowned conservative thought leader, DineshD’Souza. His latest book, e Roots of Obama’s Rage, was the sub-ject of his talk. e book landed a cover story in Forbes magazinelast year, and caused many on the left to go into a hysterical ragethemselves. Dinesh is a remarkable speaker, and has shown from

his days as a senior aide in the ReaganWhite House to his recent appoint-ment as President of King’s College inNew York City that he is at the van-guard of political culture.

Future speakers already on the docket include Andrew McCarthyfrom National Review, perhaps the foremost expert on U.S./Mid-dle East foreign policy in the world. We also have secured our An-nual Dinner speaker already, and are very excited to have JohnBolton, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations under Pres-ident Bush and current Fox News contributor. e date is Friday,May 13, and more information will be forthcoming.

If you have ideas for other program speakers do not hesitate tosend your suggestions to me at DavidBahnsen@gmail.com. Wepromise to deliver hard-hitting programs throughout the year cov-ering the whole gamut of issues that are important to us – foreignpolicy, economics, and the need for good government.

What to Make of the Middle EastFEATURING: Andrew C. McCarthyNational Review Contributor & Former Assistant U.S. AttorneyWhat should Americans make of the uprisings in Muslim countries throughout the Middle East and NorthAfrica? Andrew McCarthy, a National Review contributor perhaps best known for successfully prosecuting the terrorist behind the first World Trade Center bombing, will share his insights about the protests, America’sresponse (or lack thereof), and what it means for the future of Israel and our national security. McCarthy is anexpert on the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist strategy for the United States, and Obama's national securitypolicies. He is the author of several books, including Willful Blindness, about the challenges of adjudicating terror trials in criminal courts, and his most recent book, The Grand Jihad, which exposes the alliance of convenience between the left and Islamism.
