With March comes candidate filing for public office in the state of Nevada. We
should know who Republican candidates are for federal, state, county and city
offices when we open our Saturday, March 17th newspaper. Please know that from
now until the June 12th Primary, ARW general membership meeting programs will
be dedicated to introducing the candidates to you so that you may make an
informed decision at the polls. See programs in this newsletter for more details.
Also this month, we have the Clark County Republican Party’s (CCRP) Convention
at The Orleans Casino on Tropicana. Those of you stepping up to be delegates to
the convention, I would like to say thank you. And those of you who have
volunteered to register the delegates, some 3500 of them, I applaud you for your
willingness to give of your time and energy. Successful elections require a
synergistic process – all hands working together for a common goal. And that goal
is making Nevada RED in 2012! By the way, if you have not purchased your RED
pin yet, you may do so at the convention. Margaret Helsper will be manning a
table for that purpose. Can’t help but plug our 2012 ARW Fundraiser!!!
Last, you will want to mark your calendars for the Nevada Federation of
Republican Women’s Spring Board Meeting to be held at The Gold Coast Casino
on Flamingo Friday, April 20th and Saturday, April 21st. This year our two-day
agenda will be a little different. Because of the Caucus and Convention, NvFRW
Regents were unable to schedule the annual Leadership Training in the first
quarter. Instead, this valuable seminar will be held starting at 1:00 PM Friday, April
20th. Those of you who are new to ARW and those of you wanting to step up in
new areas of the club will want to attend this valuable, educational event.
Following Leadership will be the special and newly formatted Regents event
featuring the Chief Operations Officer for National Securities Technologies, LLC,
Mike Butchko. NST is a government contractor responsible for the operations at
the Nevada National Security Site. Hear about how Nevada played an integral role
in assisting the Japanese with the failure of their nuclear reactor post-tsunami.
More information on this may be seen in the NvFRW Newsletter due to come to
your email sometime in March. Proceeds from your membership in Regents go to
events such as these and leadership training for our members.

year - a Friday evening social complete with cash bar,

speaking of waking up, many of you will want to take
advantage of the great rates the Gold Coast has provided
for us and spend the night. Make it a “stay-cation”. The
Gold Coast recently remodeled many rooms. WOW, the
Asian theme through the corridors and into the rooms is
stunning. The tubs have been removed and instead you
may walk into a beautiful, oversized shower with those great
free-form glass doors. The traditional rooms have also been
slightly upgraded with modern bedding and flat screen TVs.
Rates are $119 (remodeled) and $99 (traditional) plus a $3
resort fee and tax. Make your reservations now; and, use
this special code to get the NvFRW rate: A2RWC04.
You will be seeing more detailed information on the NvFRW

LITERACY NEEDS AND REQUESTS
By Molly Governs, ARW Literacy Chair
The Literacy Committee has three needs and requests:
1. Please consider using one small period of time to read to a class in any school or preschool. Contact
Molly Governs by emailing [email protected] for some tips and short instructions. It has been
brought to my attention that some companies will make small donations to the schools on behalf of
employees who volunteer their time reading to our children in schools. Ask your employer if they do
this.
2. Donations of new or gently used books for elementary aged school children are needed as gifts to
children in elementary schools to start their own home libraries.
3. The ARW has published Literacy Cards (pictured below) with tips to parents and caregivers of young
children on enhancing the joys of reading. Teachers, please feel free to ask for these cards also.
Once again, contact Molly Governs via email ([email protected]) for large or small quantities of these
cards to distribute throughout our Las Vegas community.

deployed military member or unit that could use a touch of home, please email
Diane Welch the information at [email protected] or call her at (702)

CONGRATULATIONS PAT HAACK FOR WINNING THE HIDDEN WORD
CONTEST IN JANUARY. ENJOY YOUR FREE DINNER AT THE MARCH
15TH MEMBERSHIP MEETING !!
FIND THE HIDDEN WORD CONTEST
What’s the Word? …And What’s the Prize?
You have heard about the spoken word, but have you
heard about the hidden word? We are running a
contest for ARW members only, with some terrific
prizes. Since 2012 is such a very important election
year to be well informed, and since your Board set
priorities this year to increase membership
participation, and most especially since our ARW
Battle Born Bulletin is award-winning caliber, first prize
each month will be a FREE DINNER at Spanish Trails
Country Club at our ARW monthly membership
meeting (a $30 cash value!) The contest is so easy.
All we ask is to read Battle Born and submit your word
entry. (Hint: the word will have a patriotic or political
meaning.) The word contest comes right from the
belly of our newsletter! Here are the details:
1. Read newsletter and make your guess on the word.
The Hidden word is a single word (not an
expression) and will appear at least five times or
more anywhere in the newsletter.
2. One hidden word entry per member per month. The
Hidden word must be submitted via email to
[email protected]. Subject: ARW Hidden Word
Contest.
3. Hidden word entry must be received via email
between the 1st and 15th of the month for that month’s
meeting. The timestamp of the email will be used to
determine if deadline was met.
4. If several people submit correct answer, a winner’s
name will be drawn at the ARW meeting of that same
month. Winner must be present to win, or another
name will be drawn. If no winner is present after five
drawings, then we skip the award for one month.
5. Both Full and Associate Members are eligible. ARW
Board members are not eligible. But only one free
dinner per winner per year.
6. The prize is a free dinner at the next ARW Monthly
Meeting of the next consecutive month. You must
RSVP and we cannot postpone the award. Other
prizes may also be awarded.

DID YOU KNOW THAT ? .......
Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for
identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to
use it anyway and the message, NOT FOR
IDENTIFICATION, was removed
President Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) program. He promised:
1) That participation in the program would be completely voluntary,
No longer voluntary
2) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first
$1,400 of their annual incomes into the program,
Now 7.65% on the first $90,000
3) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program
would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,
No longer tax deductible
4) That the money the participants put into the independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the general operating fund, and
therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and,
Under Johnson the money was moved to The General Fund and spent
5) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income,
Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month you
may be interested in the following:
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---Q: Which political party took Social Security from the independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the
general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was
Vice President of the US
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to
receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a
dime into it!
------------ -- ------------ --------- ----- ------- --------- ---Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to
take your Social Security away! And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
