Battle Born Bulletin Affiliated with the National Federation of Republican Women OCTOBER 2012 President’s Message… Maureen M Karas It is do or die time in this election. With only 20 days until the start of early voting, and just 36 days until the General Election, we are down to the hard work of the campaign. Republican candidates and Team Nevada need you to volunteer. If you wish to make phone calls from your home with your number blocked, access www.MittRomney.com and enter “Nevada.” If you would like to walk, make phone calls in a group and/or address mailings, please contact Swati or Christy at Team Nevada. Remember what Mark Hutchison told us, “on election day we should be fatigued, our shoe leather a bit worn and our wallets lighter”. Let’s, each of us, give it our best shot, and turn both the White House and Nevada RED in 2012. Pondering what to write about this month, I keep going back to the prophetic metaphor of Clint Eastwood’s speech given at the Republican National Convention, an empty chair. Considering the violence against the United States taking place in over 30 cities and countries from London to Indonesia, it certainly would appear that the chair of the Commander-In-Chief has been vacated. For a President that has addressed the American people and/or media on such issues as the arrest of Harvard Professor Gates, the Gulf Oil spill, the healthcare bill, the debt, and the killing of Bin Laden, one would think that after a second fatal terrorist attack on 9/11, the American people would hear officially from their President. Although President Obama did speak about the deceased when the bodies of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were received stateside on September 14th, no explanation was given about what happened, why, by whom, were we warned, and what impact this would have on American foreign policy. Instead of speaking directly to the American people, our President chose to address the United Nations some two weeks later; yet, absent in his speech was the word “terrorism”. For those who do not read political commentary, one would think the murder of 4 Americans in Benghazi, Libya and the storming of the US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt was all a “spontaneous protest” over of a 2-month old poorly produced video, “the Innocence of Muslims” portraying the prophet Mohammed in a bad light. Not only was this the story fed by most American media, it was also the storyline given by the White House Director of Communications Jay Carney, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice. Even the President of the United States perpetuated this saga in his recent address to the United Nations. It is sad when one has to resort to the foreign press to get the facts. From the beginning of these attacks, the foreign press reported the events as 9/11 terrorist attacks. In Cairo, some involved in the embassy attack had professionally made signs demanding the freeing of the blind Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, the convicted mastermind behind the1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the plans to blow up the Lincoln and Holland tunnels in New York City. In fact, days before 9/11 Islamist websites were full of chatter threatening to burn US Embassies unless Rahman was freed from US prison. In Benghazi, the terrorists used rockets and rocket launchers; and, some have reported they also used armored vehicles suggesting a degree of sophistication and planning. Continued on next page...

OCTOBER 2012
President’s Message… Maureen M Karas It is do or die time in this election. With only 20 days until the start of early voting, and just 36 days until the General Election, we are down to the hard work of the campaign. Republican candidates and Team Nevada need you to volunteer. If you wish to make phone calls from your home with your number blocked, access www.MittRomney.com and enter “Nevada.” If you would like to walk, make phone calls in a group and/or address mailings, please contact Swati or Christy at Team Nevada. Remember what Mark Hutchison told us, “on election day we should be fatigued, our shoe leather a bit worn and our wallets lighter”. Let’s, each of us, give it our best shot, and turn both the White House and Nevada RED in 2012.
Pondering what to write about this month, I keep going back to the prophetic metaphor of Clint Eastwood’s speech given at the Republican National Convention, an empty chair. Considering the violence against the United States taking place in over 30 cities and countries from London to Indonesia, it certainly would appear that the chair of the Commander-In-Chief has been vacated.
For a President that has addressed the American people and/or media on such issues as the arrest of Harvard Professor Gates, the Gulf Oil spill, the healthcare bill, the debt, and the killing of Bin Laden, one would think that after a second fatal terrorist attack on 9/11, the American people would hear officially from their President. Although President Obama did speak about the deceased when the bodies of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were received stateside on September 14th, no explanation was given about what happened, why, by whom, were we warned, and what impact this would have on American foreign policy. Instead of speaking directly to the American people, our President chose to address the United Nations some two weeks later; yet, absent in his speech was the word “terrorism”.
For those who do not read political commentary, one would think the murder of 4 Americans in Benghazi, Libya and the storming of the US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt was all a “spontaneous protest” over of a 2-month old poorly produced video, “the Innocence of Muslims” portraying the prophet Mohammed in a bad light. Not only was this the story fed by most American media, it was also the storyline given by the White House Director of Communications Jay Carney, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice. Even the President of the United States perpetuated this saga in his recent address to the United Nations.

President’s Message… continued
Now we learn that the administration was warned at least “3 times, days if not weeks,” prior to 9/11. The new President of Libya even confirms the attacks were premeditated. And if indeed this is true, one must ask some questions. Why was Ambassador Stevens not withdrawn from Benghazi prior to 9/11, why was he without American security, and why did the Administration entrust the Ambassador’s safety and at least 20 others to “the Martyrs of the Feb. 17 Revolution Brigade” whose leader allegedly has close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood? It has been reported that the two retired Navy
Seals were not his security, and instead in Benghazi on other business. Looking to Egypt, what was the plan for securing the safety of the American Embassy and American personnel in a kinetic event given the State Department policy of not arming the Marine guards with live ammunition?
And if all of this is not bad enough, it has been substantiated that President Obama has only physically attended 43% of his daily intelligence briefings – and none the week prior to 9/11. One has to conclude, the Commander-In-Chief’s chair is empty. Clint had it right, and it is not one bit good.
See you next month!

Caring for the American SoldierBy Diane Welch, Chair of ARW Caring for the American Soldier
Please come to our November membership meeting where we will honor our veterans and active duty military and hear a recap of our club's efforts to support these warriors.
In 2012, ARW has donated dozens of boxes of Girl Scout cookies; provided cash, baby items, and volunteers for Operations Showers of Appreciation; collected hundreds of dollars to support the new McCarran USO, in addition to participating in raising
money for Honor Flights. We will present our donation and hear from the Director of the McCarran USO at our November meeting. We will also begin collecting donations for the new VA Hospital and hear a brief presentation about volunteer and giving opportunities. So come on out and support the troops!

The Conservative Alliance for Community Growth is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservative outreach organization committed to establishing meaningful partnerships and productive working relationships with residents, schools, businesses, and community leaders in West and North Las Vegas. Through volunteerism and community involvement, the Alliance advances time-tested conservative principles, i.e., self-reliance, independence, and personal responsibility. The Executive Director, Brenda Flank, has been a member of ARW for several years and works with us on various community projects.
On September 15, 2012, The Conservative Alliance presented to the entire Las Vegas community a Constitution Day Celebration event at CSN, Cheyenne Campus in the Horn Theater. The program, from beginning to end, was filled with patriotism, love of country and appreciation for our Constitution. To start the program, David McKeon recited 'I am the Flag', written by Ruth Apperson Rous, while the 1812 Overture played, a huge American Flag was displayed to emphasize it's meaning and importance to our great nation. It was a celebration and what a fabulous job Peggy Micco Koning, past President of ARW, did when she sang the National Anthem and America the Beautiful. It brought tears to the eyes of many, and Charles Payne remarked about the great job she did.
Often, it is said that we are a nation of immigrants and the Conservative Alliance introduced three (3) proud Americans to share their journey to become an American citizen. Peter Gumina, Dolly DeLeon and John Pinnington immigrated from different parts of the world and traveled different paths to get to America, but the common elements in their journey was they wanted to BE AN AMERICAN, they love this country and the opportunities it provided for those looking to have a better life. Their stories touched the hearts of everyone in attendance and evoked a renewed appreciation for the greatness of our country. A scrolled Preamble to the Constitution was read by Chordonn Allen and presented to Ron Futrell, who later introduced the discussion panel.
The panel consisted of Ron Futrell and Judge George Assad, as well as ARW members, Diane Welch and Niger Innis. It was a meaningful, informative presentation about the Constitution and its importance to our future. To top off the afternoon, the keynote speaker was Charles Payne from the FOX Business Network and CEO of Wall Street Strategies. Mr. Payne shared his personal life story and how the greatness of our country, along with his hard work and determination, is the reason for his success.
All in all, it was a fabulous event and next year will be even better!
CONGRATULATIONS TO ARW’S SECRETARY, ALICE SHILLOCK-CLARK!Alice Shillock-Clark recently won 1st place in Energizers Toastmasters Club Evaluation Speech Contest. Alice proceeded to the Toastmasters International Area Speech competition Saturday, September 15th at the Luxor Hotel Las Vegas. The evaluation contest is about how well you critique someone else’s speech. You have only five minutes to prepare your summary, and only three minutes to deliver your critique. If successful, Alice will proceed to division and then regional Toastmaster competition. “I have been in and out of Toastmaster competitions for more than 30 years now, and I just love it,” said Alice. Fortunately for me, our Energizers Club is fully endorsed by my management at National Security Technologies, a contractor to the United States Department of Energy, hence, our namesake, “Energizers,” said Alice. “I firmly believe Toastmaster speech and leadership programs assist in all walks of life,” she added.

ARW’s Monthly Membership Meeting, Thursday September 20, 2012
INTERNET SAFETY FOR ADULTS
In today’s world the Internet is part of our every day life and is another form of literacy. Knowing how to make it in, through, and about the Internet involves being able to not only manipulate electronic media, but also stay safe while doing so. We read and hear a lot about Internet safety for children, but adults have some important safety issues also.The Internet abounds in our everyday lives. We now have easy access to educational reference resources, communication with family and friends,searching for information and entertainment, plus banking and e-commerce. Included here are just a few tips on using the Internet safely.
1. PASSWORDS*Create passwords that have at least eight letters & numbers using both upper and lowercase letters. The longer the password, the harder for a hacker to decipher a password. *Avoid using personal information such as your child’s, pet’s or your name, your Social Security Number, or a former or current address.*Change your password every 60 to 90 days.
2. SAFEGUARDING YOUR PRIVACY*Try not to post information that will identify you when using chat lines including posting your full name, home address, phone number, Social Security number, passwords, credit card or bank account numbers, names of family & friends, workplace or favorite hangouts, or any type of name that can identify you.
3. PROTECTING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM*Use encryption to protect your personal information.*Shut down your computer when not in use – especially in public places like coffee houses.*Use antivirus & antispyware programs and keep them up to date.*Protect your home wireless network by hiding the network name and keeping it locked.
4. SOCIAL NETWORKING*Please do not say anything online that is cruel or may damage someone’s reputation. *Avoid sharing personal information about someone else.*Always get permission before forwarding someone else’s email.*Keep from having someone photographing you in an embarrassing or compromising situation.*Never post anything that would cause embarrassment or shame to you. Duplication cannot be controlled.*Remember that information can be seen by anyone with a computer.
5.MEETING SOMEONE YOU MET ONLINE*Be aware that persons misrepresent themselves online. It is easy for someone with criminal intentions to mislead potential victims over the Internet.*Speak to a person over the phone before meeting. Hearing a person’s voice and engaging in conversation can be very revealing.*Learn as much as you can about the person and verify the information.*Meet in a public place. If the individual objects, terminate the conversation immediately.*Never share your address. Make arrangements to arrive separately.*Let a trusted friend know when and where you are meeting someone and call the friend when you are safely home.*Watch your alcohol intake. Do not leave a drink unattended.*Never leave with the individual. If you feel you are being followed drive to the nearest police station or public location.
