Hi Everyone,

We had a great Event last Tuesday, it was our largest turn out so far -- 26 people. We started out a little slow, I forgot to bring the computer to show the movie, but luckily Erika was running late, and she picked it up and saved the the day. The movie, Israel Lobby, was very educational. Although parts were in Dutch and replete with sub-titles, I think we all got the message about the power of the lobby influence and its control of policy in government. I believe the Israel lobby is a lot like the NRA, which doesn’t represent the views of the majority of gun owners, but that of the gun manufacturers. While I'm sure everyone has their views on the movie, the point was about the power of all the lobbies: Israel, NRA, Big Oil, Pharmaceutical, etc., on our government. Erika

We had our elections and the results are:

President; John Debus

Vice President; Roger Lavigne

Treasure; Erika Alvarez

Secretary: Vicki Racine

Communication Person: Kathy Overholt

Next event will be 6:00pm, Thursday, February 21, 2013 at the Clubhouse in The Lakes at the Savannahs, 1800 S. Dovetail Dr. Ft. Pierce, Fl. 34982. Directions are on our web-site, or you can call me any time (772-349-5328).

Our guest speaker will be David Cobb from  Move To Amend. I guarantee he will be one of the best speaker’s you’ll ever hear. Check out the web-site MoveToAmend.org for more information.I will be inviting the Fort Pierce City Council and the mayor. Hopefully some of you will also contact them, or other local representatives. When David Cobb spoke in Stuart the vice-mayor was present who was VERY impressed with him and the issue. This is a very important issue for ALL Americans, across ALL party lines. Hope to see you all there, lets pack the house..We may run out of chairs, so if you have a fold-up chair, please bring it for someone to use if needed.

There is no requirement to join or be a member to attend. We are open to the public, come see what we are about. If you care to join and support us, membership forms are available at the Event. You can join there or send it in. Are Events are social, net-working, and educational. Come out and meet the new members (we had 5 from last Event) and visit with old friends and enjoy an evening with like-minded people.

Your President,

John Debus
