The Republican Women’s Club of St. Louis, sponsor of the My Favorite Teacher Essay Contest, held an Awards Ceremony to honor the winning teachers and recognize the achievement of the essay authors (students). Held January 22, 2010, 8:00am in the Boardroom of Eureka City Hall, friends and family were on hand to honor the teachers and students along with Rep. Tim Jones; Eureka Mayor Ken Coffey; Eureka Alderman Marilyn Leistner; Arleen Jackson, Past President of RWC of StL; and Sharon Barnes, President of RWC of StL. Rep. Jones presented each teacher with a House Resolution, a Missouri Blue Book, a copy of the Missouri Constitution and a state flag that had flown over the state capitol. Eureka Mayor Coffey and Aldermen Marilyn Leistner honored the teachers with a City Proclamation. "My Favorite Teacher" Award began during the 2001 National Federation/No Child Left Behind State Summit Program. The purpose of the award is to acknowledge those outstanding teachers across America who have encouraged students to dream big. The "My Favorite Teacher" Award recognizes excellence in teaching and the impact that one good teacher can have on every individual. Each of us can name a teacher who has made a difference in our lives. As Republicans, we are often positioned as the enemy of teachers because of the politics of the NEA and the American Federation of Teachers. The "My Favorite Teacher" Award gives us the opportunity to share good news about the positive impact a teacher can make.

MoFRW Farm Report |

MoFRW Farm Report
February 6, 2010
Reported by Kathy L.Chinn In December 2009, the Missouri State Tax Commission approved a 29% increase in the productivity values of farmland grades 1 thru 4, consisting primarily of cropland. This increase equates to approximately 90 cents per acre. Grades 5 thru 7, consisting of pasture land, would decrease about 24% of value, or about 20 cents per acre. Total value of farmland would net at an increase of 11.5%. The tax assessment increases would cause higher costs for farmers in a time of reduced values of products sold. Farmers, agriculture commodity organizations, and the Missouri Department of Agriculture objected to the tax increases. Republican legislators, Representative Brian Munzlinger and Senator Bill Stouffer, brought about a Resolution (HCR-7) to demonstrate disapproval for raising the tax rates. The 95th General Assembly passed HCR-7 by an overwhelming majority, during session the week of January 25. Final approval must take place within the next 30 days and submit to the Tax Commission. The Missouri Tax Commission consists of three, Governor appointees. They are: Bruce E. Davis, Rep.
Jennifer Tidwell, Dem.
Bill L. Ransdall, Dem. More information can be found on the Missouri Government website: www.mo.gov. “Thank a Farmer Week”
February 7 thru 13 – 2010. U.S. farmers are the food producers for Americans and people around the world. The average American farmer feeds an average of 146 people. Missouri farmers produce nearly $5.6 billion worth of farm products a year on an average size farm of 287 acres. Missouri livestock production accounts for 53% of the state’s agricultural receipts and 47% is from a wide range of crops. Check out other information about Missouri agriculture from the Missouri Dept. of Agriculture website: www.mda.mo.gov.
Just can’t live without a Farmer i.e., food grower! |

NEWS RELEASE
NATIONAL FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN
SUE LYNCH, PRESIDENT
| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
January 28, 2010 | CONTACT: Lisa Ziriax
405-596-3873 or lziriax@nfrw.org | National Federation of Republican Women
Comments on Obama's 'State of Union'
ALEXANDRIA, Va. Following President Barack Obamas first State of the Union address, National Federation of Republican Women President Sue Lynch said:
"Last night, the President had a genuine opportunity to communicate with the American people and to show leadership on the tough issues facing our country. Instead, he resorted to using the same partisan rhetoric to explain his administrations undeniable lack of progress in revitalizing the economy and creating jobs for Americans. "We congratulate Governor Bob McDonnell on his excellent response, which discussed the role of good government policy in spurring economic growth and strengthening the private sector by enabling American innovation and entrepreneurship to create new jobs. The Governor also questioned the administration's handling of suspected terrorists and emphasized the need to put the protection of U.S. citizens first. "President Obama claims he is looking for new ideas to solve problems. The National Federation of Republican Women hopes he will start listening to common sense ideas, such as those Governor McDonnell articulated."

Congressman Marsha Blackburn to speak at MO Lincoln Days
JEFFERSON CITY— The Missouri Republican Party, Missouri Association of Republicans, and the Missouri Federation of Republican Women are excited to announce the keynote speaker for the MoFRW luncheon at the 2010 Missouri Lincoln Days celebration: Congressman Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee.
“Representative Blackburn is a stalwart conservative and leader of the conservative movement, and we are excited to announce that she will headline the Missouri Federation of Republican Women’s annual luncheon at our statewide Lincoln Days,” said David Cole, Chairman of the Missouri Republican Party.
Elected to Congress in 2002, Rep. Blackburn has focused on implementing meaningful immigration reform, reducing federal spending, strengthening national security, protecting taxpayers and supporting families. She has earned a host of awards and accolades from organizations such as Americans for Tax Reform, the American Conservative Union, the Family Research Council, and National Right to Life, among others. She is a frequent guest on television and talk radio.
“Congressman Marsha Blackburn has risen to national prominence as a committed conservative and Republican leader, and we are thrilled that Congressman Marsha Blackburn will share her vision of the conservative movement with the Missouri Federation of Republican Women,” said Kathy Drake, President of the Missouri Federation of Republican Women. “Congressman Blackburn’s insight could not come at a more important time, as the Missouri Republican Party has embarked on an ambitious effort to recruit, educate, and mobilize women in advance of the 2010 elections.”
In 2009, the Missouri Federation of Republican Women included 51 chapters and nearly 1,500 members across the state. Their annual luncheon is held each year in conjunction with Lincoln Days to recognize clubs and individuals for their hard work and achievements.
The 2010 Missouri Lincoln Days celebration will take place February 26-28 in St. Charles, MO. Special guests include Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Rep. Marsha Blackburn. For additional details or to register, please visit www.molincolndays.com |
