Dear CARMA Members and other Honorable Conservative Gentlemen,

Please join us and bring your buddies to our monthly CARMA luncheons and events. Register early at
www.carmagop.com. We have great monthly luncheons at Giuseppe’s Italian Restaurant with speakers on
various topics such as: local, state and national politics, health care, history, local government
operations and technology. Our local office holders and candidates and other interesting speakers
are always on our schedule. CARMA donates to Republican candidates smartly.

Our previous luncheon was on Thursday September 18. Daniel Keever PhD, the new WJCCS Superintendent
of Schools was our key speaker. He emphasized how important these priorities are: academic
achievement, college and career readiness, school safety and security, positive culture, exemplary
teachers and staff, open and effective communication and organizational effectiveness and systems.
The Q/A session was terrific and could have gone on much longer.

There also was a great CARMA Happy Hour at Precarious Beer Hall on Friday September 12. We calmed
our nerves with great conversation, some beer, tea and delicious food. Most attendees don’t drink
beer. The happy hours s are social and we are watching our waistlines. Families welcomed.

CARMA’s next luncheon will be on October 16. Our speaker is a CARMA member, Rick Timberlake. Rick
Timberlake is a former CIA operative with more than thirty-five years of experience in
counter-intelligence and clandestine operations. His knowledge of global intrigue is unmatched. He
is a new author of some real thrillers. I have read his first novel. He will have his books at the
luncheon. Ask him for his autograph. Please send your luncheon form early with your check. If you
wait too long to notify us, you may only get a roll. The kitchen needs your choices early. Or call
me with your menu choice and pay at the door.

This will be another difficult election year here locally and statewide. We will need to elect
these great Republicans : Winsome Sears for Governor, John Reid for Lt. Governor and Jason Miyares
for Attorney General. We need to re-elect State Delegates Amanda Batten and Chad Green. And there
will be two JCC Board of Supervisors seats. John Slokovitz is the Jamestown District candidate and
Tracy Wainwright is the Powhatan District candidate. And there are two JCC School Board seats to be
filled. Re-elect Sarah Ortego. She has been the School Board Chairwoman. Please step up to be an
active CARMA member, try to recruit more members and be a public advocate for our 2025 candidates.
Attend the candidates’ fundraisers and write support letters to the Gazette and Daily Press. Urge
your neighbors and friends to vote. Action, Action, Action.

We have seen a preview this past year of the new laws and regulations that will be proposed and
approved by the Democrats. And if former Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger becomes Governor, she
will sign all of them into law. She is trying to portray herself as a moderate but as a member of
Congress, she supported Senator Nancy Pelosi over 90 percent of the time. She is a very outspoken
proponent for “trans rights”, allowing boys in girls’ locker rooms and sports and allowing school
administrators to hide very important student revelations. If it were not for Governor Youngkin's
many vetos, most of the terrible woke liberal laws proposed during his term would
already be on the books. Early voting has begun. Get in your car and GO VOTE !!!

Virginia Democrats in Richmond have stated that they will vote against election integrity
improvements nor voter rolls cleanup. For years they have yelled that abortion must become legal at
any time during the child's development, maybe even after delivery. Also in their playbook: more
gun control laws will be enacted and gun stores will close for lack of business. The Dims always
want to
take our guns! Their increased funding for public education and Medicaid will be enacted without
transparent accountability. Statistics and test score have shown that more school funding will not
make the students more educated. The education decline is a youth culture problem that requires
tough and improved parental involvement and internet viewing management. And the ridiculous annual
car tax will not be reduced. State income and sales taxes will be increased to fund state and local
government bureaucracies and projects without public referendums. Diversity, Equality and Inclusion
DEI will be camouflaged and promoted in other ways, in spite of federal laws.

A new program…CARMA has started a new donation subscription program, the CARMA Subscription Club.
It was inspired and designed by our Treasurer Rudy Knepper. We want hundreds of donors, male and
female, to donate $5 or $10 each month automatically. For example, if
300 pledge $5 monthly and 200 pledge $10 monthly, that would raise $3,500 each month and
$42,000 for the year! Wow! We already have about 30 subscribers. Wow again! We can raise thousand
of dollars which will really help our candidates, especially the new ones. The annual CARMA
bundling project will also continue with its different format. Please contact Treasurer Knepper
804-210-0822 rudeyes45@gmail.com for information and to subscribe.

Charlie Kirk Prayer We are all in shock and deeply saddened by Charlie’s assassination by a truly
sick individual and his supporters. We pray that God will comfort his wife, his children, other
family members and friends. Dear Lord, please enhance his messages and spirit to help our country
and energize his followers to spread stories about his life, his discussions and his inspired
mission. Amen
