West Orange Republican Women Federated is pleased to welcome

Selena Owens

as our November Guest Speaker! Selena Owens is the author of

The Power Within: A Conservative Woman

Selena and her husband, William Owens, are building a Multi-cultural Conservative Coalition.  They are touring the country with the Tea Party Express speaking out against a radical agenda that seeks to minimize the rights of families and communities under the expansion of government control.

“Many powerful conservative women have gone before us as examples of courage and leadership. Through their undying support and belief in God; of the Founders’ thoughtful decision to break with Britain; and of their own inspiration to live in a land free from tyranny and oppression, these model women fought for the very same ideals that we are fighting for today. In this book, we will reflect on some examples of the values these women espoused and recognize the correlation of what they endured in their lives and what we endure in ours. More importantly, we will identify with their source of power that enabled them to continue in their quest for a morally sound and tyrannically free land. I pray this book serves as a model to inspire you to action in an effort to continue to preserve America’s conservative principles that were sanctioned by godly, moral, and selfless men and women. Their legacy of a truly free country is severely jeopardized and it is laid upon us to preserve it and to limit radical change at all costs.”

Call to Action: Health Care Alert

Please call your leaders today to tell them how the Democrats’ Health Care Plan will affect you and your family!

Senator Nelson: 407-872-7161

District 8 Rep Grayson: 407-841-1757

Senator Martinez: 407-254-2573

District 24 Rep Kosmas: 407-208-1108

WORWF Members are encouraged to visit their representatives ASAP. To make your visit effective:

1. Sign the visitors’ book

2. Bring a “leave behind letter” with your views on health care

3. Demand that you talk to a staff member other than the receptionist. Tell them personally how the democrats’ health care bill will adversely affect you & the country.

4. Bring letters from neighbors and friends that have similar concerns.

Staffers estimate that every phone call and office visit represents at least 1,000 constituents of that point of view.

We are following the developments on the Health Care Bill as we approach the August Break. Local Groups are joining together to organize petition drives, precinct walks, sign holding rallies, leader “ambushes” and town hall meetings with political leaders. If you are interested in participating please call Linda.

A Must-Read for all Conservatives!

One only needs to read the headlines or the op/eds in the newspapers to know that our country faces many challenges!  These times are filled with uncertainty! We have real problems and we realize that the solutions that the Obama administration offers, like cap and trade, universal healthcare and the recovery and reinvestment act of 2009 will do nothing more than expand the public sector into private industries. It is nothing less than a socialist power grab and our economy will continue to flat-line with these policies. The private sector is not being stimulated; it is being hijacked! Conservatives are alarmed and fustrated. We are uniting, organizing and engaging like never before! In 2010, we will stand ready to elect strong Conservative Leadership that will battle against the Progressive Democrats’ destructive hold on this country. We stand for limited government, free markets, and liberty.

In four short months, West Orange Republican Women Federated has grown to a club with over forty members. After “growing” out of two former meeting spaces, we have a found a home at the lovely Windermere Country Club in a serene setting among the lakes and under the canopy of oak trees. Our members volunteer in the community. We educate by hosting guest speakers with expertise in relevant issues. We support our troops by sending a monthly “We Care Kit”. We hope that you will join us as we strengthen our community!
