Please join us for interestingspeakers (recently Bob Massi and Governor Robert List)and lively discussion. The scheduled speaker for our nextmeeting on April 14 is Barbara Cegavske, U. S.Congressional District 4 candidate.The purpose of the RCSCA is to promote the principlesand core values of the Republican Party through educationprograms, publicity and forums for discussion and debate.We encourage such civic duties as voter registrationdrives, candidate forums, and constituent servicesworkshops and to help identify, promote and supportRepublican candidates for office. The core Republicanprinciples are constitutionally limited government, fiscaldiscipline, individual freedom and responsibility, freemarkets and economic freedom, and preserving ournational military and moral strength.Republicans and Democrats agree that the November 6,2012 election will be the most important in at least ageneration. The Republican position favors limitedgovernment, fiscal responsibility, and personalresponsibility. It appears that the Democrat position offersmore and larger government, increased spending andtaxes, and government infringement on personal freedom.The RCSCA hopes to convince our community that theformer approach is best not only for us but, moreimportantly, also for our children and grandchildren.In this and future Spirit issues we will conclude with a“Thought for the Day”, to provide food for thoughtwhen considering the November 2012 election choices.Thought for the day: The federal government spends over$3.5 trillion dollars per year. We must borrow about 40cents of every dollar to support this spending, much of itfrom China. Are the federal government programs worthborrowing money from China?Don Manning, Communication Committee MemberYou may contact Kay Dwyer, Secretary at kayc@cox.net orphone: 733-0401 for further information about the RCSCA46 Sun City Anthem • May 2012
