Call it a fortuitous
development, divine
intervention, or whatever you
want. President Obama will be
attending a fundraiser in
downtown Los Angeles (Nokia
Center) on the very same day and
at the very same time as theWake Up America!

opportunity for you to tell
Obama what you think about his
failed presidency and express

demise of our country and state.

initiatives so that you can make
an immediate difference in the
November election. And you will
get to hear from Dennis
Prager, Steve Bannon, Bill
Whittle, Mark
Meckler, Rosa Koire, and AlfonZo
Rachel!
We will gather at
the Wake Up America! 2012 Rally
by the thousands on Sunday,
October 7, 2012 from 2-6pm at
the Federal
Building in West Los Angeles and
send a message to Obama and the
national and local media that
will be following him that day!
A small number of people can
make a big difference in
politics. Those with the loudest
voice get heard. We need your
voice! Our country and state are
on the precipice, but the ship
can be turned around this
November. Now is the time to get
involved. Wake Up America!...Liberty
is Waiting...Let's Roll!

Call into Swing States for
Romney/Ryan
Operation Swing State is
organizing calls into the states
that will make a difference in the
November election. Here is a notice
from Operation Swing State:
OPERATION SWING STATE
We Can Win the White
House by Calling Swing State
Voters!
Your choice: either make phone
calls now or have Obama for 4
more years!!
Consider these key facts:
-
The Presidential race is
very close and will be won
or lost in the swing states.
-
4 swing states are already
voting.
-
You can call swing state
voters using the Romney
campaign online phone bank.
HERE ARE 2 WAYS YOU CAN
CALL VOTERS:
1. Call today from home or
wherever you are using a
computer and phone. To make
calls for Romney, go to www.MittRomney.com and
move your cursor on the Get
Involved Tab and
click on Call From Home (or for
more detailed instructions and
for suggested swing states to

Walk Precincts in Las Vegas |
|
All Expense Paid Weekends to Walk
Precincts.
Susan Shelley is heading up an
operation to make a difference
in Nevada, a swing state.
Here is the information
about the opportunity to go
to Las Vegas for a weekend
in October, all expenses
paid, to walk precincts and
get out the vote for the
Romney-Ryan campaign.
A CNN poll in Nevada last
week had the race at 49
Obama, 46 Romney. Nevada has
early voting, and it's
estimated that a majority of
voters in the state will
cast their ballots early. If
we can turn out the GOP
vote, it could be the
difference in the election.
We'll have two buses each
weekend and can take 112
people. The buses will leave
the L.A. area at about 5:00
p.m. Friday after making
pick-ups in several
locations and will arrive in
Las Vegas at about 11:00
p.m. On Saturday morning,
8-passenger vans will
shuttle us to Romney
headquarters, where we'll
pick up walk sheets and get
a ride to the precincts, and
we'll walk for about two
hours. Then it's back to the
headquarters for lunch, then
out to the precincts to walk
for two more hours. Saturday
night is free, and on Sunday
morning we'll check out of
the hotel and return to the
Romney headquarters to pick
up walk sheets for a couple
of hours more of getting out
the vote in this crucial
swing state.
In addition to bus and local
shuttle transportation, the
Romney campaign will pay for
the hotel (rooms are double
occupancy) and provide meals
(and/or expense money to
cover meals).
The available dates are:
October 12-14
October 19-21
October 26-28
November 2-6 (if possible,
volunteers are asked to stay
through Election Day on
Tuesday, but most likely
there will be a bus
available on Sunday for
those who want to return to
L.A.)
The sign-ups and logistics
will be handled by two
interns at L.A. GOP
headquarters, but I don't
have their names or contact
info yet.
For those of you who would
like to go to Ohio to walk
precincts, contact me.

Dine and Donate at Fatburger |
|
 Panorama
Fatburger is offering an opportunity
to help SFVRC
As you know the Panorama City
Fatburger is owned by two
Republicans, Julie Nguyen and
John Quintanilla. They are
offering an opportunity for
SFVRC members to eat at
Fatburger. It is only two
blocks from where we meet at
Galpin Ford, so it is easy to go
there before or after our
meeting, but the offer applies
anytime.
Go eat at Panorama City
Fatburger, 8261 Sepulveda Blvd
(at the corner of Roscoe)
Panorama City, 91402. The phone
number there is (818)894-7888.
Keep your receipt and bring it
to me or to Karen Klaparda, our
secretary. We can then turn the
receipts in to Fatburger and
they will donate 15% of the
receipts to SFVRC. It is a
great way to help the club by
having Fatburger donate a
percentage of your bill, but it
also helps a local business run
by Republicans. |
