Hello everyone, Boy has ORWF been busy. May 2, we had BUNCO night and May 21, Women on Target. June is so jam-‐packed. I posted a picture below of the 2012 ORWF Lloat for the Oceanside Independence Day Parade because I wanted everyone to know, we will be participating again this year; Saturday, June 28th contact Pam Chambers if you would like to join us. Sunday June 8, we will be registering voters at the San Diego County Fair and we need volunteers, again call Ms. Pam Chambers. We also have a new website, I am so excited with this development. It should be up running and functional by May 27th and I will send out the link the minute it is completed. Watch for it! Tuesday June 3 is Election Day, if you would like an ORWF Republican Voter Guide, email me at skwaecker@cox.net and I will send you our Republican candidates; this is especially helpful for the judges. We also have our pick for Superintendent of Schools and the County ORWF’s Float 2010 Oceanside Independence Day Parade
Board Of Education. Prop 41 and 42; the Republican Party is recommending a YES vote on both propositions; I am recommending a NO vote on both. If you wonder why, contact me. I have posted below the current picture of the 2014 ORWF Board. These terriLic ladies donate so much of their time to ORWF; I thought you should see their lovely faces.

Pat has served in many capacities on the ORWF Board and has just recently resigned as Membership Chair. We really miss her input and hope she will be returning to us just as soon as possible. Please, never hesitate to call me if you have suggestions or questions about ORWF. My goal; ORWF should be a resource for you.

What is Smart Growth? Smart Growth Education Series, Part 2 of 6 by Mary Baker, SDCFRW Chair, Local Activism —May,2014 Contact: marybaker@caprsdoc.org -‐-‐ Blog: www.exurbiachronicles.com
Sustainable development is the precursor to smart growth and it has become the interna6onal blueprint for living in the 21st Century.
!
In 1992, at the Rio de Janeiro United Na6ons Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) Earth Summit, Agenda 21 was introduced as the comprehensive global plan that would eradicate the communal threats of social, economic and environmental injus6ce. The plan was adopted by more than 178 governments including the United States of America. President George H. W. Bush pledged, on behalf of the American people, to commit to a plan of ac6on that would be implemented in every area in which humans have an impact on the environment.
!
MAY 2014
In 1993, President Bill Clinton issued Execu6ve Order No. 12852 and created the President’s Council on Sustainable Development. In addi6on to working with ‘Captains of Industry’, he contracted with the American Planning Associa6on (APA) to create a blueprint for sustainable development and implementa6on strategies. The subsequent manual was called: Growing Smart and incorporated President Clinton’s request to develop “bold, new approaches to achieve our economic, environmental, and equity goals.” The
blueprint became the legisla6ve guidebook for local governments and was named: Sustainable America: The New Consensus.
!
By 1999, President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore had the framework they needed to address the “increasing public interest in ‘sprawl’ and other land policy challenges.” With the support of the Clinton Administra6on, Al Gore spearheaded the Livability Agenda and the Lands Legacy Ini?a?ve. These new U.S. ini6a6ves promoted the concept of Smart Growth. “ The aim of the agenda [was] to help communi6es across America grow in ways that ensure[d] a high quality of life and strong, sustainable growth.”
!
In 2001, the Interna6onal Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) generated a report sta6ng that man was responsible for global warming. The IPCC is the leading interna6onal body for the assessment of climate change. It was established by the United Na6ons Environment Program (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organiza6on (WMO) to provide the world with a clear scien6fic view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its poten6al environmental and socio-‐economic impacts. The UN General Assembly endorsed the ac6on by WMO and UNEP in jointly establishing the IPCC.

MARY BAKER ARTICLE CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE
June 2001, President George W. Bush requested the US Na6onal Research Council to research and report on the societal and ecological impacts of global warming on America.
!
“President Bush made a policy statement on June 11, 2001, following release of the NRC report […] acknowledge[ing] that the world has warmed and that greenhouse gases have increased, largely due to human ac6vity, […]. The President then outlined the U.S. approach as rejec6ng the Kyoto Protocol* and favoring voluntary ac6ons, increased scien6fic research, beOer technology, and market mechanisms.” *The Kyoto Protocol to the United Na6ons Framework Conven6on on Climate Change is an interna6onal treaty that sets binding obliga6ons on industrialized countries to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. (WIKI)
!
Despite Bush’s rejec6on of the Kyoto Protocol, numerous congressional acts were proposed and many approved that would support the trea6es greenhouse gases reduc6on targets; including the California Global Warming Solu6ons Act of 2006, AB 32.
including the Environment Protec6on Agency (EPA), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the Department of Transporta6on (DOT), and numerous non-‐ profit organiza6ons such as Smart Growth Network, Smart Growth America, Local Government Commission, Sierra Club, the Nature Conservancy and the Na6onal Associa6on of REALTORS have used smart growth principles and the threat of global warming to influence local and state governments to adopt progressive paradigms for change.
Words that should Strike Fear in the Heart of American citizens who love individual freedom and the right of private property ownership

Politics Topic for Politics 101, Convention Of the States: Saturday, May 31
CONVENTION Of The STATES: What is it? Ci0zens concerned for the future of their country, under a federal government that's increasingly bloated, corrupt, reckless and invasive, have a cons0tu0onal op0on. We can call a Conven0on of States to return the country to its original vision of a limited federal government that is of, by, and for the people. Why Do We Want to Call a Convention of States? Washington, D.C., is broken. The federal government is spending this country into the ground, seizing power from the states and taking liberty from the people...The federal government has overreached its constitutionally-‐established boundaries and has its hands in almost every area of our lives. Our children and grandchildren will inherit a bankrupt nation run by an unaccountable bureaucracy. Article V allows us to call a Convention of States to restrict the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, effectively returning the citizens' rightful power over the ruling elite. Together, state legislators and citizens can recover the checks and balances on federal power to protect our liberty from the abuses in Washington DC.
