“Honor Flight”
Humboldt Republican Women
Welcomes Kathrin Burleson
Trinidad artist, Kathrin Burleson, recently accompanied local
WWII veteran Charles Moon to Washington D. C. to visit the WWII
Memorial. The trip was made through Honor Flight, a non-profit
organization that is dedicated to taking WWII veterans to Wash-
ington to see and reflect at the Memorial that was built in their
honor in 2004.
There is no cost to the veteran, and no government support of
the program. It is funded by donations of individuals and organi-
zations, the staff are all volunteers. Kathrin was one of thirteen
guardians who accompanied the twenty six veterans on the
October flight.
Kathrin is a member of Republican Women's Club, Daughters of
the American Revolution, Trinidad Civic Club, and was recently
elected to the Board of Directors of Honor Flight Northern
California.
The program will include a short talk and slide show of the recent
trip. Charles Moon will be with us to share his experiences and
answer questions. Please invite friends and family and join us!

Please send donations to Honor Flight

Chaplain’s
Report
In recent years, many leftists
ignore the fact that our nation
was founded on Christian-Judeo
principles. How can they dismiss
what our founding Fathers have
written and is part of our recorded
history?
Here are just a couple of examples:
“Principally and first of all, I give
and recommend my soul into the
hands of God that gave it: and my
body I recommend to the earth...
nothing doubting but at the
general resurrection I shall receive
the same again by the mercy and
power of God.”
John Hancock, signer of the
Declaration of Independence
“It cannot be emphasized too
clearly and too often that this
nation was founded, not by
religionists, but by Christians; not
on religion, but on the gospel of
Jesus Christ.”
Patrick Henry, while
Governor of Virginia
President’s Message
2011 brings us a sign of hope and new vitality
and wishes for a Happy New Year!
It is exciting to begin January ushering in all
victorious Republicans around the country and to
Washington and see the stage set once again for
promotion of conservative principles and logic.
The Constitution is read aloud!! This truly marks a great
moment in time and may the younger generations pay
attention to the “Word of the People” - the primary
guide that keeps our nation the greatest on earth. We
must accept the responsibility to support our leaders
diligently. And when we watch with care as coaches
and umpires do in a football game, we will know exactly
when to throw in the “Red and Yellow Flags” to stop the
action, contact them, rewind the misuse of power or
money we entrusted them with, and hand out penalties
when they are deemed.
We must “step in” and get out of our comfort zone to
take our nation back to greatness. We can and will do it
– even if we have to sleep with one eye open.
Central Committee
Kicks Off a New Cycle

Officers of the new committee are Peter Hannaford, chairman; Joy
Finley, first vice chairman;David Crane, second vice chairman; Vee
Sorenson, secretary; and Kathy Rodriguez, treasurer.

or as a substitute from time to time, please call us.

Commentary
Okay class....today we will have a short vocabulary lesson.
Please define the following:
1. patriot 2. patriotic 3. patriotism 4. zealous
5.traitor 6. treason 7. colonialism 8. anti-colonialism
According to Webster's New 20th Century Dictionary, a
patriot is "a person who loves and loyally or zealously
supports his/her own country." Being patriotic means that
one is "devoted to the welfare of one's country."
Patriotism is "love and loyal or zealous support of one's own
country...nationalism."
At a recent gathering, as I was verbally being "a patriot"
another guest said, "You must be a Republican." Now isn't
that an interesting statement? Does this mean Republicans
are the patriots of the day?
Let's be zealous (enthusiastic) in our patriotism. Let's be
leaders in sharing information and knowledge.
There are those in government today who could easily be
labeled a "traitor..." one who betrays his/her country, cause,
friends, etc." I believe there are those guilty of "treason" as
they betray one's country and betray the trust given them
with the office they hold in government.
To learn the definitions of numbers 7 and 8 and the possible
future of the USA, please read an important and excellent
book: The Roots of Obama's Rage by Dinesh DiSouza. More
about this next time.
Signing off for now....this is Mary Responda,
The Patriot's Answer to Jane Fonda.
Responda's the name and learning is the game. Join me?

 Membership Report
Hello and Happy New Year to you!
I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year celebration.  We accom-
plished much in 2010 and overall it was a great year.  2011 also looks to be
more promising for conservative endeavors. This year we need to work
even harder to educate people because the battle is far from over.  Every-
one should be vigilant, informed, and speak out against the progressive
movement. You can do this by joining us at Humboldt Republican
Women.  We must take back our country!  We need more conserva-
tives like you running for local offices, volunteering, donating, and
writing letters to the editor.  Get involved or just come to our
meetings so you will be informed on local, state, and national issues!
You are not alone.  We are a family.  You will realize in joining HRWF that
there are many people like you who want to take their country back to what our
founding fathers had intended.   We have always been a grassroots organization.  2011
marks our 73rd year!
The month of January begins our HRWF Membership drive. 
Please send in $30 for the annual 2011 membership dues.  A membership form is included for you below.  If
you’d like to have your contact information available to other HRWF members, please remember to check the
box for sharing your info with us….  Ditto if you have a business, so members can patronize a conservative
minded business owner if they wish.  We will be compiling a membership contact roster this year.
You can also go to our new webpage to download an application form @ www.humboldtrepublicanwomen.org. 
We believe that you will love the new web site as you will see it has many fantastic educational links.
