South Placer Republican Women Federated

President's Message - April 2025

Seize This Day

The Moment of Opportunity

It was hard for me to be away from my favorite Republican women for our April 5th meeting, but the annual weekend getaway with our friends from the Center for American Liberty called and I had to answer.


At a time when we have witnessed a coordinated effort to wrongfully remove the rights of individuals, I was reminded that without someone to vindicate your rights, the Constitution is just a piece of paper. It's not that our laws are being dissolved, it's that the law is being appropriated, transformed, and mutilated. Ideological positions and emotion sway decisions.

The people at the Center for American Liberty have devoted their lives to defending our civil liberties. These are the men and women of principle with a genuine love of America who will not back down from a fight when it comes to restoring and preserving liberty.

As you can imagine, the four days that I spent with these inspiring friends was incredible. The first day, we received news that Founder Harmeet Dhillon had been confirmed. How fun it was to congratulate my truly amazing friend and to celebrate her new role as the Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Department at the Department of Justice (what a title!).

Other weekend highlights include getting to hear about past and current cases AND getting to hear from some of these brave people in person. People like Brooks Warden who, in middle school, was taunted, threatened, and harassed by students and staff because he wore a MAGA hat on a field trip. In Texas!

There was the private concert with John Rich and singer/songwriter Monte Warden (father of Brooks Warden). We got to know Mollie Hemingway and Buck Sexton. And then there was Sage Steele. She reminded us that we must choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.

So many friends to see. So many new friendships forged. The time with these people has given me new energy in this battle for our country and everything we love.

Seize this day, the moment of opportunity. "It is a new day and we must generate momentum while there is opportunity. We must take ground in crucial areas such as election integrity, dismantling the gender industrial complex, and advancing the right to free speech".

I'm all in. I hope you'll join me!
