Rosemary O'Mara, President, Republican Federated Women of South Florida, Celebrating her birthday!

On June 23, 2016, the Republican Federated Women of South Florida held a meeting with Randolph G. Russell at the Boca Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida.  Mr. Randolph G. Russell spoke about the importance of knowing America's past.  He is the author of American History in No Time, a quick and easy way for anyone to learn the basics of U.S. history.  

The crowd included Asian American and other women at the event. Representing the National Committee of Asian American Republicans (www.Asian.gop), Executive Director Cliff Zhonggang Li started his speech describing Asian Americans as a largely immigrant population who have brought values that very much align with those of the Republican Party.  He then focused on the recent Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action and the real threat posed by radical Islam for the United States.  Mr. Li called the recent Supreme Court ruling a failed policy that does not help the people in need and hurts those who try their best. He emphasized that Asian Americans, most of whom are recent immigrants, are especially affected by this negative ruling.  

In the second part of his speech, Mr. Li discussed the implications of the recent terrorist attack in Orlando, Florida.  He focused upon the looming threat of radical Islam and the need for additional national security measures to protect Americans.  He mentioned the possibility of a dirty bomb that could be used by radical Islamists and the need to protect our nation from such terrorism.  In his concluding remarks, Mr. Li called the country to elect new leaders with an effective strategy and the common sense to deal with the looming threat of terrorism.
