The LW Republican Club joins Senior Peace Club in supporting the people of Ukraine in defending their county against the invasion by Russia. As of presstime, the Russians were withdrawing some troops even as the bombing and shelling of cities has continued.

One of the main topics of discussion for the Republican Club is election integrity through voter ID. According to a recent issue of Forbes magazine, 80 percent of Americans support a voter ID requirement, with 69 percent being somewhat concerned about voter fraud ( https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2021/06/21/80-of-americans-support-voter-id-rules-but-fewer-worried-aboutfraud- poll-finds/?sh=7fc17def1e0b) . Forbes cites a poll done by the Monmouth University Polling Institute. The Rasmussen Poll came up with a similar result. The poll also shows a large majority favored making voting by mail easier.

The Republican Club booth is open every Monday from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. outside Clubhouse 6. Volunteers continue to collect signatures for the school choice initiative. The ballot proposition, if passed, will make it possible for parents of all income groups to send their children to the school of their choice, whether it be a secular private school, religious school, charter school or home school. This will be done by providing up to $14,000 per child for parents who choose educational alternatives to public schools. ••• The official primary principles adopted by the board are God and the Bible, the U.S. Constitution, pro-life, capitalism, small government, secured borders, legal immigration, strong military, voter ID, balanced budget/tax reform, and Proposition 13.

The LW Republican Club meets the third Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. Club membership is free.

To join the club, volunteer or receive more information, call (714) 928-1950.
