Our duty now is to help make America great again.”

MAR 12 - David Bozell - Media Research Center VP - Special Speaker at larger venue - No Dinner

APR - Orlean Koehle, “From Lawfare to LA Fires – The Truth”- CEO – Eagle Forum of California. In total, she has had 15 articles published. Orlean has been a long-time member of the Santa Rosa Republican Women and has held various positions on the board. She asserted that Smart Meters as installed by PG&E and California Southern Edison were explosive and created the targeted signals for directed energy weapons that burned specific blocks of homes masking as recent wildfires in Maui, Paradise, and Los Angeles. She later claimed that a ship stationed on each coast could use directed energy weapons to create an Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) to take down the energy grid of the country. Ms. Koehle posed these assertions at our April dinner meeting, but these statements do not represent the official opinion of the TVR.

MAY - Edward Ring, “Achieving Abundant Energy and Water in California” - Edward is a water expert (with books) and political commentator. He gave many pragmatic ways to increase water for farms, fish, and forests. The proposed tunnel will not give the needed water levels even running 24/7 while costing Billions. He discussed approaches that would increase energy with wiser use of fossil fuels. His water knowledge got the highest interest interaction from the club. He explained that non-participant lawsuits harm water projects when all involved parties (Democrat, Republican, Sierra Club, Farmers) all previously agreed. An outside cash-seeking lawyer can bring a Statewide project to its knees, accept an expensive out-of-court settlement, and cripple the much-needed project for years afterwards. This blurb does not do him justice. Buy his books!
