CommonCore

A Trojan Horse for

Education Reform

HumboldtRepublican WomeWelcome Orlean Koehle

T h u r s d a y,

N o v e m b e r 2 1

45 states have adopted the Common Core - and California is one of them - but don’t mistake thenthusiastic, nationwide support. Critics refer to it as ’Terrorist Professor Bill Ayers and Obama’sFederal School Curriculum’ and, as we find out what‘s in it, this would seem to be accurate. We’been posting information on our website detailing the extreme left-wing bent, the lesson planwith graphic depictions of rape and pedophilia, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. MichelleMalkin says, “Time to Opt Out of creepy Fed Ed Data-Mining Racket.”

Learn what has so many people so concerned - our guest speaker this month, Orlean Koehle, haauthored a new book, Common Core, that takes a look at this latest ‘transformation” of the educ

tional system, the imposition of a federal curriculum.Orlean Koehle is State President of the Eagle Forum of California, President of Concerned CitizenSonoma County, Parents Involved in Education, and VP of Santa Rosa Republican Women Feder

Orlean’s other books include: The Golden Rule School, Character inEducation; A Closer Look at the Real ID Act of 2005; and her mostrecent: By Stealth and Deception, USA Transformation and itsParallel to the European Union.

Join us for this important topic. Challenge yourselves to inviteone or two guests. You remember what a wonderful, informa-

tive speaker we sponsored last month? Well, you'll not bedisappointed with this month's fare, either. Let's unite tospread the word! We're gaining momentum and we mustcontinue to grow. Information begets power andfreedom! Let's wake up the people to what's happen-

ing beneath their very noses! Invite, invite, invite!

See you on November 21 with guests in tow!

lease do not think this is the obligatory message for Thanksgiving, because it’s not. I come beforeou with a thankful heart; for in spite of everything that is negative, there are far more positives.

rst, I’d like to thank all of you for the excitement, concern, and the willingness that was exhibited toecome more involved in the issues presented during our last month’s speaker’s presentation. Debbieacigalupe told it like it is, and your response was staggering. Because of your generosity, we senter a check for $535.00 to continue her efforts on behalf of this area, state, and nation. She is truly

ollowing in the footsteps of our first patriots, sacrificing everything for the cause of freedom. Her

evotion to her country and its people cause me to examine my own state of commitment, as I’mure you are doing as well. She’s quite a powerhouse! By the way, Debbie did send me an emailhanking me for our gift. She mentioned that she was totally “blown away” by the amount of ouronation. Thankfulness begetting thankfulness begetting thankfulness…..

ohn Fullerton sent me his thanks last evening.for all we have done to support his re-election to thechool Board. He shared that things were looking good and that our calls were helping make thatappen. We’ll not know the results of the election until after you receive this newsletter, but what is

mportant is that we came together to rally for a good cause. I’m so very proud of the twenty-pluseople, men and women, who have made this happen, and quite thankful for them as well. They give

me hope, a hope that not all is lost. We do have a future and a hope in politics, as an important voice our community, and as a force to be reckoned with. We’re getting our groove back! John is

hankful for our support; we’re thankful we could help, and we’re thankful that we have beennergized into action. No more feeling powerless because of the perceived giants in the land.hankfulness.

n reflection, what I see is family. Yes, I’m using it as a metaphor. We may not be related by blood,ut we are related by the same ideals of democracy, freedom, and service to our country. We are tiedo a common history and its governing documents. We choose to sacrifice what we can to ourommon goals. We choose to overlook each other’s foibles for the higher purposes we support.. Were thankful to be Americans. We are family. We are thankful for our heritage and fight to keep itsuth alive.

am thankful for your willingness to sacrifice your time to do “one thing more” when I call.continue to be humbled by your devotion to the call….and I don’t mean my phone call…. You are

hankful to be called! You rise up which, in turn, causes me to rise up to work to be a better leader.ll because of thankfulness.

We are Humboldt Republican Women, Federated! Hear us roar! Let us fight for the sake of freedom,emocracy, and the truth in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence!

appy Thanksgiving. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year.

We are so blessed!

Thankfulness:

HE NEED TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN

B 1266 Bill has recently been enacted by the California Legislature and signedy Governor Jerry Brown. This bill permits school students to use sensitive

x-segregated school facilities such as showers, restrooms and locker roomsased on the student’s perceived gender identity rather than their actual sex.

is involves ages K-12. It’s the only legislation of this kind to have beennacted in the country. (Privacy for All Students Referendum Information.)

y dear friends, this is degradation and our children are now all at risk. At least05,000 signatures were needed by Wednesday, November 6th, in order toualify for a referendum. If sufficient signatures were submitted to electionsfficials, the law would be suspended, will not take effect, and would appearn the November 2014 statewide ballot. Then, at that time, voters would beble to reject or approve the legislation.

e current status of the AB 1266 Bill has been chaptered, but does not go intoffect until January 1, 2014. The Privacy For All Students coalition has filed aferendum in order to give voters the right to reject the law. If you would likeget more involved in this sensitive and moral issue, you can go to privacy-

A Lie From Day OneWith Obamacare, everyone loses

NBC NEWS: OBAMA ADMIN. KNEW MILLIONS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO KTHEIR HEALTH INSURANCE FOR AT LEAST 3 YEARS, PROMISED IT ANYWA

It turns out you can’t keep your plan And, you can’t keep your doctor.

The headlines tell the real story: Charles Krauthammer says, “So a law

designed to cover the uninsured is now throwing far more people off theirinsurance than it can possibly be signing up on the nonfunctioning insuraexchanges. Indeed, most of the 19 million people with individual insurancwill have to find new and likely more expensive coverage. And that doesn’even include the additional millions who are sure to lose their employer-pvided coverage. That’s a lot of people. That’s a pretty big lie....”

The revelations have been fast and furious: We found out that OBAMAKNEW 3 years ago that you were going to be losing your insurance planCNN reported that the ObamaCare “war room” worried about reaction wsome enrollees figure out they can’t keep their doctors. They knew!

Edie Littlefield Sundby’s op-ed in the Wall St. Journal stated flat out: “I h

great cancer doctors and health insurance. My plan was cancelled. Now Iworry how long I'll live.” Not only is she losing her insurance plan, but shlosing her doctors, too. She has survived lung and gallbladder cancer fonearly seven years, but fears a government-run health bureaucracy.

After her piece, the Obama adminstration has attacked her - White Houcomm. chief used his official Twitter account to promote a liberal blog'stakedown of her Wall Street Journal essay that went viral - and she hasstruck back. The headline in the Daily Mail: Cancer sufferer who took onObamacare slams White House official for 'snotty' tweet, and says Obamfamily and staff should all sign up if they support it.

Her days are precious and few, and she should not have to waste a sing

day dealing with trying to find new insurance coverage, or attacks fromWhite House.

Congressman Trey Gowdy says, “Instead of saying, ‘We made a mistake,’ e‘We made an intentional misstatement, we need you to forgive us,’ theresponse is to evade and to answer questions falsely and then the worst ois to assume the American people are stupid enough to believe the explantion that he came up with today”

Dana Loesch shreds NYT’s Obama ‘misspoke’ lie with simple question: "Cteleprompters misspeak?"

Washington Examiner columnist Timothy P. Carney points out, “The mostimportant job of the media is holding the powerful accountable. This task, Ibelieve, is why the founders put the freedom of the press in the First Amendm

The mainstream media, of course, has been failing miserably in that regwhich is why we REALLY encourage you to get acquainted with the NewMedia. It’s not just Talk Radio, though that’s a big piece. It’s alternativeonline news sites working hard every day to bring you the REAL story.

O u r S t o r i e s

The two national holidays celebrated in November, Veterans Day and

Thanksgiving, present us with opportunities to remember those who

have served our country and to count our blessings and give thanks to

Creator. Weaving these two themes together, I am responding to a

request asking that I share a few highlights of some early ancestors in

America. Recognition of these 17th and 18th century patriots who se

in the military and helped to establish our freedom rekindles a sense

gratitude within me.

First generation brothers on my mother’s paternal line, Jean and

Abraham Hasbrouck, were Huguenots from the region of Calais. As

Protestants, they were persecuted during the reign of Louis XIV and fled to the new land. Tmarried sisters, Anna and Maria Deyo. Jean, the elder, was a devout man, quiet, home-lovi

and a very good businessman. He was content in simplicity and didn’t seek public office. H

brother Abraham (from whom I descend) was more social, an army man with many acquai

tances, and he often accepted positions that took him away from home. They both held a h

regard for learning and for family unity.

These brothers were among the twelve families who sought refuge under the Dutch flag al

the Hudson River, and subsequently purchased land from the Esopus Indians. The grant for

their settlement, called New Paltz, was signed in 1677. Thirty years later they began to bu

substantial stone houses to replace the original simple huts. Huguenot Street in New Paltz

exists today as a National Historic Site. The New Paltz people had their own customs, their

schoolmaster, and their own legal administration. They were governed by representativesthe twelve original families, chosen annually, called the Duzine. They were recognized and

respected as long as the Colonies were under the British Crown and eventually became

incorporated by the State Government in 1785.

Twenty-eight Hasbrouck ancestors are listed in the NY Archives and DAR Registers as havin

served in the American Revolution. The ancestor, by whom I claim DAR membership, is Cap

Elias Hasbrouck, grandson of Abraham. I am a ninth generation descendant of Abraham.

Through life membership in the Hasbrouck Family Association, part of the Huguenot Histor

Society in New Paltz, I am reminded of the importance of the hopes and dreams of the earl

settlers and why we must maintain the values so very important to the founders of our

country.

In 1991, Ray and I were privileged to attend the annual meeting of the Hasbroucks in New

Paltz. We walked Huguenot Street, worshipped in the Old French Church, stood at the grav

Abraham & Maria, and toured the Abraham House built in 1712. We are grateful for that

experience.

Were you expecting a “Washington slept there” story? If so, it must be noted that Col. Jona

Hasbrouck’s home in Newburgh, NY, served as General Washington’s Headquar ters from Ap

1782-August 1783. Jonathan was a first cousin of Elias!

It is my hope that other members of HRWF may be willing to share family histories in futur

newsletters.
