As a legal immigrant who arrived in this great country with my husband and three

teenage children in 1988, I watch with great interest, the immigration debate. I look back on our
own experiences in the immigration process and empathize with all legal immigrants who
spent years jumping through INS (Immigration and Naturalization Services) hoops to get green
cards. We all have stories to tell. If the laws regarding immigration had been consistently en-
forced over the years, we would not have this mountain of a problem. The quickest fix of all
would be to enforce border control and prosecute employers of illegal aliens. I wonder where it
will all end?
If you are looking for uplifting reading material, I recommend Laura Bush, An Intimate
Portrait of the First Lady, by Ronald Kessler. I was inspired by her steadfastness and faith, her
knowledge and insights gained through her love and passion for reading, her successes in
community services, especially in promoting literacy (amazing how silent the press is on this
subject), her long-lasting friendships with people from all political persuasions and races, the
respect given her by foreign diplomats who are awed by her knowledge of their countries, her
many talents which include her transformation of The White House; her love, support and close

The November elections are just around the corner! Our help is needed in volunteering
hours at the Republican Headquarters, getting the word out and registering voters at the
County Fair and in our neighborhoods. We need to be more involved as Republican women in
community affairs. Suggestions are appreciated – m a n y h a n d s m ake lig h t w o rk. L e t‟s a ll b e

Governor Schwarzenegger is endeavoring to build the largest full-ticket Republican grassroots effort in Califor-
nia history. Ladies, that means he needs YOUR help! We know that the Federation is the backbone of the Republican
Party because WE ARE the GRASSROOTS.
I need phone callers every week from now until November 7th. I have lists with scripts; they take less than a
minute for each call. I will even let you take the call sheets and call from home. My goal is to have 20 callers making
10-20 phone calls per week. This effort is slowly building, but it would be fantastic to have calls being made every week
starting the week of July 10th.
