Happy Independence
Day!
A gift has been given of
freedom, don’t throw this
gift away. Be prepared,
be consistent, be informed, be enlightened.
Don’t falter. You don’t have to run the whole
course to make the finish line, just don’t stumble and quit. In soccer every kick doesn’t have
to be a goal, but every kick forward takes more
ground and gets you closer to the goal.
Freedom comes with a price of maintenance.
Dare to stand and defend life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.

How the Federal Government Drives Increasing Health Costs
By Kevin Glass
6/17/2012
Avik Roy, one of the best health care policy writers around, has a great
flow chart of the endless cycle of government subsidies driving health care
costs in the United States.
Kevin Glass
Kevin Glass is the Managing Editor of Townhall.com.
We recently were informed that Chris Holmberg has passed away. Chris spent many
years teaching first grade and continued her passion for children’s literacy into her
retirement by fundraising for school libraries. She touched many lives. Chris was
EBRWF Melp and -CLB chairman and worked with the schools on our behalf. She was
an active club member until illness forced her to step back. She relocated to Montana be
near family. Unfortunately her health continued to decline and she pass away on June 16,
2012. She left a lasting legacy and will be missed.

THE DECLARTION OF INDEPENDENCE
We hold these truths to be selfevident..
Everyday not just of the 4th. Of
July
In Philadelphia on July 4. 1776. the Declaration of Independence was
unanimously approved and officially adopted by representatives of the
13 colonies to the Continental Congress. A month earlier. in the third
session of the Second Continental Congress. Richard Henry Lee of
Virginia proposed and John Adams of Massachusetts seconded a resolution declaring the United Colonies free an independent states. A
committee was appointed to draft a statement to the world presenting
the colonies' case for independence. The committee consisted of Adams. Roger Sherman of Connecticut. Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Robert Livingston of New York and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia.
Jefferson was assigned the job of writing the declaration. and except
for minor alterations by Franklin and Adams. this significant piece of
our history was composed entirely by Jefferson.

It is up to all of us to be informed and to inform our friends, neighbors and family. When
you receive or find some informative information pass it on and not only to the choir. Those
with internet access forward on those articles to a person who might be open to reading.
There are many who are struggling with their previous decision and maybe they are not getting all the news. If they don’t want it I am sure they will let you know. I think most won’t
complain. They might just delete and so be it but you might just find that many will read it
out of curiosity..

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
The Electoral College
The Electoral College, administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), is not a
place. It is a process that began as part of the original design of the U.S. Constitution. The Electoral College
was established by the founding fathers as a compromise between election of the president by Congress and
election by popular vote. The people of the United States vote for the electors who then vote for the President.
Each State is allocated a number of electors based on the number of members in the House of Representatives
who represent the State, plus two for the State's Senators. A State's Congressional delegation is determined by
the State's population. The number of people in each State is determined by the Federal census, which is taken
every ten years and includes a count of every State's population. For example in the 2004 election California
was granted 55 electors based on the Census of 2000, while Maine was given only 4.
Today a President must win 270 electoral votes, a majority, to become President. If no candidate wins a majority of electoral votes, the 12th Amendment to the Constitution provides for Presidential election by the
House of Representatives with each State delegation receiving one vote. Twice in our history, the House of
Representatives has chosen the President -- Thomas Jefferson's election in 1801 and John Quincy Adams'
election in 1825.
The process for selecting electors varies throughout the United States. Generally, the political parties nominate electors at their State party conventions or by a vote of the party's central committee in each State. Then
the voters in each State choose the electors on the day of the general election. The electors' names may or
may not appear on the ballot below the name of the candidates running for President, depending on the procedure in each State.
The Electoral College process is part of the original design of the U.S. Constitution. It would be necessary to
pass a Constitutional amendment to change this system.
Note that the 12th Amendment, the expansion of voting rights, and the use of the popular vote in the States as
the vehicle for selecting electors has substantially changed the process. Many different proposals to alter the
Presidential election process have been offered over the years, such as direct nation-wide election by the People, but none have been passed by Congress and sent to the States for ratification. Under the most common
method for amending the Constitution, an amendment must be proposed by a two-thirds majority in both
houses of Congress and ratified by three-fourths of the States.
