We will win in 2010!
In 2007, the “Caring for America”
outreach program of the Washington County
Republican
Women established a scholarship at Dixie College to
provide financial assistance with college expenses for our soldiers who
have served in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Funding for the scholarship
has come from donations and the sale of posters developed with the
National Guard.
These mosaic posters were created from pictures taken by the historic 2nd Battalion, 222nd Field
Artillery unit of the Utah National Guard while on duty in the
middle-east. Later this spring, members of the Washington County
National Guard unit will once again be deployed to the middle-east.
To raise additional funds for the
scholarships and to honor our service members, the
Washington County Republican Women and the National Guard will be
hosting a 5k/10k FREEDOM RUN at
the Confluence Trail Head on
Saturday, March 13, 2010. Pre-registration and check-in is at 8:00AM.
The Opening Ceremonies will begin at 8:30AM and the 5k/10k walk/run
begins at 9:00AM. Cost is $10 Youth, $15 Adult (pre-registered) or $15
Youth, $20 Adult (after 3/8/10).
All proceeds from the FREEDOM RUN go
toward scholarships at Dixie College for
veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan and
their spouses. For more details and to pre-register, call Carmen Snow
at 435-673-2214 or email
Carmen at csnow@beyondbb.com.
COME RUN WITH
A SERVICE MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL GUARD!
This handmade beautiful quilt be given to some lucky winner.

QUOTES OF THE MONTH "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: 'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered...' "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." - George Washington A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away. Think about it.. Barry Goldwater. Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one. - Thomas Paine
"To know what is right & not to it is
the worst cowardice" "Determine never to be idle...It is
wonderful how much may be done
"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every
assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the
Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good
intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they
mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be
masters." |

Dear WCRW Members,
The link below will take you to an incredible painting by artist
Jon McNaughton. McNaughton did this painting in response to the
criticism of "One Nation Under God". Below the painting is an
explanation by McNaughton of why he did the painting, his
feelings about God, the Constitution and this Country. Whether
or not you agree with everything McNaughton says or has depicted
in his painting, it is a powerful imagery and invites all who
view it to think about your own beliefs and feelings for our
blessed country.
I would suggest you read McNaughton's comments below the
painting first and then view the painting. Every figure and item
in the painting has a description and comment.
Enjoy -- I spent quite a bit of time with this painting and will
visit it again.

I BELIEVE that free enterprise and encouragement of the individual incentive have given this nation an economic system second to none. I BELIEVE in equal rights and equal justice for all regardless of race, sex, creed or color. I BELIEVE we must retain those principles of the past worth, retaining, yet always be receptive of new ideas. I BELIEVE that in the spirit of international kinship we must help other free nations defend themselves from aggression when so requested.
FINALLY, I BELIEVE that through the Republican Party these ideals can become
action and through them, America can continue to be the great, free nation she
has always been. |

Excerpts from the 2007 Utah Republican Party Platform
The Declaration of Independence says, "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.-"
These God given rights are sacred and precious to Republicans. The United States Constitution and Bill of Rights give us further direction with words of wisdom like, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" and "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed". Government must protect the rights articulated in these texts.
The platform of the Republican Party helps us understand our mission to protect these timeless, traditional values for our families, our children and our posterity.
Life
We value the infinite worth of a human being.
We recognize the traditional family as the fundamental unit of society and that parents have the responsibility to direct the upbringing of their children.
We fight for the life of the unborn and oppose abortion except to preserve the life of the mother or in cases of rape or incest.
We believe in God and that government must be based on a moral foundation with honesty, integrity, morality and accountability.
Liberty
We are a law abiding Party and support the rule of law.
We unabashedly support our military, honor their sacrifice and commit ourselves to do our part to protect the freedoms they protect.
We affirm the right to individual religious expression, including prayer, in public and in private.
Pursuing Happiness
We encourage free enterprise, private initiative and volunteerism.
We support the right of individuals to own and use property.
We encourage individuals, families and charitable organizations to help the needy, but support a government safety net if all else fails.
We want welfare recipients to work towards self-sufficiency We are committed to all children having access to quality education.
We support parents' rights to choose public, private or home education.
We support incentives to promote competitive excellence in education.
We accept the need for limited taxation in order for government to perform and administer essential public services.
We advocate broad based tax rate reduction where possible.
We encourage reliance more on market forces and less on government.
Our environment, air, water and land are at the heart of our existence and must be protected through balanced management.
Join with the Republican Party as we promote and defend these
principles and values.
