SPEAKERS

April 26, 2008

WILL NORMAN GRIGG is returning to us this year with a new book called “Liberty In Eclipse”. He is an award-winning columnist and investigative journalist who became a Senior Editor for The New American magazine between 1994 and October 2006. Through the years Will's investigative reporting has made a difference. His exposes helped save one man targeted for execution by Vladimir Putin's regime and another innocent man from professional ruin and perhaps even a prison term. Mr. Grigg’s other books include Freedom on the Altar:The United Nations Crusade against God and Family, America's Engineered Decline and From Republic to Tyranny, How the Imperial Executive Devoured the Bill of Rights. Our constitutional liberties are unique to this country. Do you know what these constitutional liberties are? Do you know when you are losing them? Do you realize the unique quarantees of personal freedom that are in our constitution? Know the warning signs so you will be able to defend your liberties. If you need a hot topic to wake you up first thing in the morning, then you won’t want to miss Mr. Grigg’s exciting speech on protecting our constitutional liberties.

ORLEAN KOEHLE is the State President of the Eagle Forum of California. Eagle Forum is the pro-family, pro-life organization started by Phyllis Schlafly back in the 1970s when she was fighting the Equal Rights Amendment. Orlean is a former speech, drama, and journalism teacher, who is now substitute teaching in Santa Rosa, CA. She is a published author of many articles and three books. Looking at Lincoln, A History and Guide to Lincoln, Nebraska; The Golden Rule School - Character Education; and Laying the Foundation for the North American Union and Its Parallel to the European Union. She continues on her third term as an elected member of the Sonoma County Republican Central Committee. Orlean has been a guest speaker for conservative organizations in various states such as California Nevada, Utah, Idaho, and Missouri. In September 2006, she was honored as the "2006 Faith and Community Award” Recipient by Brad Dacus, President of the Pacific Justice Institute of Sacramento for her many years in volunteer service and making a difference in her community and state. Today she will update us on the Real ID Act, what states are fighting it and why we should take a stand against it here in California. This is definitely a “don’t miss” speaker.

BRUCE WHITAKER is the right hand man to Orange County Supervisor Chris Norby. He shares Supervisor Norby’s passion about the need to overhaul eminent domain and works with him everyday on Redevelopment issues. Supervisor Norby is president of the Municipal Officials for Redevelopment Reform (MORR). This organiza-tion is working for reforms to prevent the taking of private property by governmental agencies just to change to another private use. Supervisor Norby is well aware of the pitfalls surrounding this abuse. We are unable to have Supervisor Norby with us today, but feel very fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and close associate such as Mr. Whitaker. He will enlighten us on the negative impacts surrounding eminent domain and redevelopment and what changes need to be made. What are the pitfalls to local communities? What right should government have to use private land for anything other than public uses? Is greed going to actually hurt these communities? You won’t want to miss this opportunity to hear from the perspective of elected officials that have learned the truth about the dangers of government land grabs and how it is backfiring on local governments.

NANCY THOMSON, our own special UROC Investigative Reporter, continues to research the facts about NAFTA and what is going on today. As usual, she is full of information on the disaster that is now affecting our jobs, our dollar and our whole economy. Not only has it destroyed our manufacturing base, but our government is expanding our roadways and building new roads to speed the flow of products from other countries into the heartland of America. These products are not safety checked for illegal use of chemicals (including pesticides for food products) and the trucks are not required to have the same insurance, safety or emissions controls that American truckers must have. What else is in the works to destroy our American lifestyle? Nancy keeps abreast of all the government “plans” to change us from being the best country in the world to work and live into being just like all the rest. Bring your notepad and be prepared to take lots of notes. We are never disappointed with her updates.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET US FREE!
