LW America First Republican Club

The Leisure World America First Republican Club has joined Republicans, Democrats and Independents across the country in voicing its support for Israel in its response to the terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas.

The club booth has petitions available to “Repeal the death tax.” Under Prop. 13, property was reassessed only when it was sold. This rule has been changed. Now, when parents die and pass property down to their children, the property is reassessed to its current value, drastically increasing their tax liabilities.

This initiative would restore Prop. 13 by saying that property will not be reassessed when it is passed down to the next generation.

The argument against this initiative is that it will reduce the revenue coming into the California state government coffers.

The Republican Club booth is open Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.

LW America First Republican Club recommends to club members and residents a free monthly publication called Imprimis, published by Hillsdale College.

The most recent issue features an article about the CIA, arguing that it has been losing its focus lately and needs to return to its roots as a no-nonsense spy agency.
