PRESIDENTS' MESSAGE
It's time to roll up your up sleeves and put on your walking shoes! I have always known that our club is something special and as we approach the upcoming election season we have the opportunity to once again to prove it.
Jon Hart and all the callers have done a great job on the Getting Out The Vote campaign and Jon has informed us that it's time to switch the emphasis to our candidates. The candidates need our help and I'm counting on you, our members, to step up as you always do.
We will be calling for Candidates Paul Chabot, Mike Morrell, Marc Steinorth, Jack Orswell, Casey Higgins, Mike Antonovich and Kathryn Barger.
Some local races we have been asked get involved in are David Phillips running in Rialto, Ben Lopez running in Monclair, Matthew Munson running for Chaffey School Board.
Regarding Republican Presidential nominee, Donald Trump, the Mountain View Republican Club will play an integral part in his campaign in San Bernardino County. MVRC member, Linda Hazelton, has been appointed Trump Chair-person for San Bernardino County and has requested to utilize the large room in the MVRC Headquarters to coordinate some of the meetings for San Bernardino County. Congratulations Linda!
There is a lot to be done starting in the month of September. There will be activity out of the Headquarters every day. Some of the activities are listed below:
- Presidential and Candidate calling
- Door Hanger Packets To Be Assembled
- Walkers
- Talkers (phone calling)
- Working in the Headquarters (need volunteers to commit to two to four hours)
- Sign Holders on the Sidewalk re: Candidates or Headquarters
Volunteers are always needed. Maybe you have an idea what you or the members might like to do. Please let us know. It is so important that we get a Republican in the White House and Republicans in Congress, and it is becoming critical that we have Republicans on our local boards and committees.
Our reputation has gone before us, and more candidates have solicited our help. We realize the enormity of the task. So in order to have synergy and not duplicate our efforts, we will be coordinating with other groups and volunteers.
The Democrats are going to pull out all the stops, and dirty tricks, they can to stop our candidates. We need to send a message to Sacramento, and Washington, that it is not business as usual, it's time to clean house, it is time to purge the corruption; it is time we mean business, winning business.
One last note of importance for our club. In July, I spoke at the San Bernardino County Central Committee, and requested the Mt. View Republican Club be recognized as an official authorized club in San Bernardino County. After a short presentation and Q & A by the members, I am proud to announce that the Mt. View Republican Club was granted 'official recognition by the San Bernardino County Central Committee, the approval was by a unanimous vote of the Central Committee members. (Recognition as an Official Authorized Club in San Bernardino County is equivalent to being Chartered by the Republican Party of Los Angeles.)
Living on the border of Los Angeles & San Bernardino County has afforded us the opportunity to serve both counties and to work side by side with some of the hardest working clubs around and some great candidates.
Thank you Curt Hagman and the members of The San Bernardino County Central Committee.
Judi Neal
President,

| FROM MY PERSPECTIVE By Carolyn Gonzales |
WHO IS THE MAN?
Who is this enigma named Donald Trump? This man who is not a politician, a man who makes gaffe after gaffe, but does so as he boldly speaks the truth.
Who is this man, who many, even from our own Republican party, turn against, call him horrible names, and refuse to vote for him.
Who is this man, that scares and frightens the politically corrupt, and is beholden to no one.
Well, it might just be he is the candidate we have secretly looked for, yearned for, for many decades, certainly the last two elections.
A man who is not a part of Washington's elite, or Washington's, "good ole boy/girl fraternity of mutually beneficial corruption; a man who comes seeking to make America great again.
This is a man who has lived his private life; made errors, had multiple marriages (but took the blame of those failed marriages as his, he never spoke badly against either of his ex-wives). He is highly successful in business, and on the other hand has experienced the pain of bankruptcy (but having four bankruptcies out of over 350 business ventures, the percentage is quite low. And, in each bankruptcy, he personally financially suffered.
This is a man who employs hundreds of thousands employees; promotes hiring women and minorities at the highest levels, and has promoted people from the "mail room to the board room". He did all this not because it was "politically" correct, but because he felt it was the right thing to do.
Here is a man who has touched many lives by his kindness; from flying a young boy to New York in his private plane because the boy required too many medical apparatus's to be accommodated on a commercial flight; to the woman who is suffering from a auto immune disease, and he has guaranteed he will pay for a full four year scholarship for her son; to the kindness and helpfulness and respect he has shown to our military; and the kindness he has shown to many average men and women with whom he has been in contact.
No one would call Donald Trump a push-over; he is not. He is that anomaly that combines strength, and kindness; hardness and softness and sees the difference between the two.
He is not the foe you want to challenge, for he will fight to the end. He is not the "guy" you want to cheat, for he will right that wrong, and do it swiftly. He is not that person, who will listen to lies and be silent; nor will he accept excuses because of laziness or lack of commitment.
He is not that person that will tolerate threats to the United States of America; nor will he accept anything less than America is exceptional, and her people are the very best.
Who is Donald Trump?
A man of exceptional talent who loves these United States of America and is willing fight this impossible fight so that America might live and flourish as was the intent of her Founding Fathers.
He revers her sanctity, her sovereignty, her people, and knows, that to protect her, she needs a bold warrior to lead her people.
Donald Trump is a bold warrior; a Braveheart.
I urge every Republican to stand behind our nominee for President; for failure to do so, will simply hand our Country to the Progressive Liberals, and all that George Washington, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Hamilton, Jefferson, etc. risked their lives to establish will be lost forever; every man and woman who fought for America's Constitution and way of life, will have been in vain.
Freedom and liberty are not possible under socialism and communism; the future of our children will lie solely at the discretion of the liberal progressive government. That is the America of Hillary Clinton.
It must not happen.
There is only one candidate who cherishes the America we love, the America where freedom and liberty are revered, the America that our Founding Fathers created and handed to us. That candidate is Donald J. Trump.
Join with me to ensure Donald J. Trump is the next president of the United States of America. That is the legacy for which your children and grandchildren will be grateful, and that you, shall say to yourself; I was brave enough to vote for a man who put his life on the line to save America.

Nearly 40 School Bond Measures Headed For Voters in LA and OC
August 19, 2016 By
Stephen Frank
For those in Orange and Los Angeles County, you will be facing over 40 schools bonds-you will be told the total is approximately $10 billion. That is a lie.
The school districts and bond proponents REFUSE to tell you there is interest on the bonds and on average double the face value of the bond. In other words these are $20 billion worth of bonds.
When those in favor lie about the cost, what else are they lying about? They are not telling the public that 100% of the public has to pay for the bonds-but due to State law, less than 5%, those paying bribes to unions, are allowed to work on the construction projects-and add 15-20% to the cost for union wages. In other words the bonds immediately lose 15 of their value, but cost double the face value.
"A statewide initiative for school improvements and construction, Prop 51, will also be on the ballot this November.
Some districts hope to use money they secure with school bonds this November to be eligible for matching funds through the state initiative.
School bonds are paid back with taxpayer dollars from property tax increases. Terms are typically 25 to 40 years, with interest.
Dayton said that since the passage of Prop 39 in November of 2000, which lowered the percentage of votes needed for most school bond measures from two-thirds to 55 percent, passage rates have gone up dramatically.
Prop. 51 is an $18 billion bond-but the ballot statement refuses to note the interest, so it is "only" $9 billion.
Even Guv Brown thought that is too large-he wants only $6 billion ($12 including interest.) In total over $500 billion of tax increases and bonds are on the ballot this November. Can you afford to live in California.

Circular Firing Squad Perfected
By Stephen Frank
There are only two serious candidates on the November ballot for President. Either Trump or Clinton will win.
Trump has free market ideas for economy.
Clinton has used her position as Secretary of State to enrich herself, her husband and daughter. To do this, she has to sell out the U.S. and give uranium to Iran, via the Russians.
She refused to protect Americans in Benghaze, then proudly lied about the cause of the attack.
Since Vince Foster, numerous people involved in her life and politics have died under mysterious circumstances - and the corruption of the email system has already caused on Iranian scientist to be executed.
She should not be taking care of your dog.
Ultimately, I believe what is going on during this presidential election cycle has to do with the loss of power by the establishment of both parties, manifested by both the Trump and Sanders phenomenon.
Whereas, the Democrats have now circled the wagons in deference to their party's candidate, discomfited Republicans have once again formed the perfect circular firing squad.
They intend to shoot the Donald while saving their questions and reservations about Mrs. Clinton post-election.
If these so-called experts were honest, they would be forced to admit that Mr. Trump, despite his faults, is a far better choice for president.
So, when you see former GOP Administration officials denounce Trump, they are promoting Clinton - in the hopes they will keep some crumbs they get from being in the Establishment, like being invited to the "right" parties, and are given by Washington Post the ability to denounce Republicans that stand for principle.
These folks are not Republicans or Democrats, they are arrogant, greedy and destructive of honest politics and policies.
