Hot Topics by Ann Garrett

fter a 15-year period with the


Democrats not focusing on the
issue of guns in presidential politics,
they are now talking about the issue.
They say support for new gun laws is
broader now and the politics of the
issue has shifted enough to make the
push for the measure a political winner, even if there remains almost no
chance for success in Congress. Republicans say that they are eager for
the Democrats to test the theory.
Newly releases federal data shows
that taxpayers have paid out a record
$3.25 trillion in taxes during fiscal

year 2015, but the government still


ran a massive deficit during that
time. The taxes that came in
marked an 8% increase and was the
highest amount on record. The total
was $228 billion over the total receipts for fiscal year 2014. Most of
this tax money came from individuals. FYI the U.S. debt limit will
run out on November 3rd two days
sooner than was anticipated.
The Interior Department has announced a freeze on oil and gas drilling in the Arctic Ocean off Alaska
until 2017. They said they were cancelling future lease sales and will
not expand current leases. While

environmental groups hailed the decision,


the House Committee on Natural Resources said the Obama administration
has dangerous priorities. The Obama
administration drove Shell out of the Arctic with regulatory hell that went on for
years, then used this victory for big special interest groups to stop any hope for
future energy development in the Arctic.
Once again, Obama is playing directly
into Russias hands.
The Department of Justice has created a
Domestic Terrorism division. This is
being done after the DOJ previously labeled Libertarians, Conservatives and
Constitutionalists as militia-inspired
domestic extremists.

Republican women are the backbone for Republican

Current President is Linda Barlett

Organization
Parwc History
The Princess Anne Republican
Womens Club was formed in 1989 to accommodate working women, as well as
those who preferred an evening meeting. The original club applied to the Virginia Federation of Republican Women for our
charter with twelve members and met
at the Life Federal Savings and Loan building on Laskin Road.
Jean Ford (deceased) served as the first
president and has been followed by many
capable leaders.
The PARWC has tripled in membership,
small in comparison to many clubs, but we
boast that we have one of the most active
clubs with members attending every meeting and participating in our activities. Our
program emphasis is on political education.
Over the years, we have held a number of
fund raising events, most notable our annual sale of the White House Historical Society Christmas ornaments. Our largest fund
raiser is the Star Spangled Ball which is
jointly sponsored by the four Virginia
Beach Republican Womens Clubs. Two
thousand fifteen is the 26th Star Spangled
Ball. The monies earned are divided equally among the clubs and are earmarked to
support our Republican candidates.

We are proud that two of our members have been named to judgeships
in Virginia Beach, one of our members presently serves as Clerk of the
Circuit Court, one of our former
members served in the United State
Congress, and two of our members
currently serve on the Virginia
Beach City Council. Our members have served or are currently
serving on the Virginia Beach
School Board, two have been elected
to the Presidential Electoral College,
and many others have held numerous positions in the Virginia Beach
Republican City Committee, as well
as serving as officers and board
members of the Virginia Federation
of Republican Women. We have
managed campaigns and have had a
viable presence in every Republican
campaign since being chartered.
Our Community Outreach projects
have included the American Cancer
Relay for Life, the Judeo-Christian
Outreach Center Pre-school
for at-risk children, the USO
Support our Troops project, providing holiday bags for the Psychiatric
Ward at Portsmouth Naval Medical
Center, sending monthly boxes to our
troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, contributions to Wounded Warriors,
Operation Home Front,

Hampton Roads Veterans Parade,


Southeastern Virginia Food Bank, and
Wreaths Across America.
The PARWC meets on the fourth Monday of each month, September through
May, at the Virginia Beach Republican
Headquarters.
We host a holiday party in December
and our membership picnic is held in
May.
