Featured Speaker - February 5, 2013  
Shirley Husar

Shirley Husar

 

Shirley Husar has served as a California Republican Party Delegate for 10 years

and was an RNC Delegate to the Republican National Convention in 2004. Shirley is a conservative Republican political consultant, pundit, video blogger, writer and reporter.  She writes under the name of Urban Game Changer.

 

Urban Game Changers: Voices making a difference ~We are Independents,Libertarians and Republicans United~


Mission of Urban Game Changers:
We will not be televised we will be webvised, we will be heard online through bloggers, videos, e-mails and text messages, twitters, Facebook and more.  New Media only
We will no longer be shut out - we are the voices of the 21st century and we will be heard.  Get on board, Urban Game Changer has a ticket for you

 

She is a conservative leader that understands that the Republican Party of 2013 has the need to have a new connectivity and relationship model in place between Republican candidates and voters within California's urban communities.

 

Shirley understands that Los Angeles County political leaders (including statewide candidates) must pursue developmental or economically advantageous policies such as economic development initiatives and fiscally beneficial policies that will help the residents with long-term solutions that they can support.

As a proud Republican, Shirley can also relate to the similar issues and bonds with minority communities that many California Republicans are current shut out from. To her, Republicans believe that the solution to American's problems lies in the greatness of the American people. With its message of economic growth and opportunity, the GOP is the natural champion of blacks, minorities, women and ethnic Americans. Shirley Husar is a natural leader to help deliver that message to voters.    Shirley has worked as a consultant on many political campaigns beginning in 1996 and including the following more recent campaigns:


2008-2010-Los Angeles County Officer: Meg Whitman for Governor of California; 

2012- Candidate Jorge Robles for Congress;
2012- Candidate Jack Orswell for Congress;
2012- Candidate Donna Lowe for 41st Assembly District.

 

Shirley has held several offices and positions of leadership in The California Congress of Republicans, California Women's Leadership Association, Republican Youth Majority, and California Republican Women Federated.  

 

Shirley writes a column for the Washington Times, has a video-blog channel as Urban Game Changer, has hosted TV programs for Hip-Hop Republicans.

Dine and Donate at Fatburger  
Fatburger LogoPanorama 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.
