President’s Letter Bebe Dotter

Dear OKC RW Members, What an exciting time for Conservative Women! We are witnessing history here in Oklahoma. We will soon inaugurate our first Oklahoma female governor -- and she’s a Republican! Thanks to all of you who helped these past few months with the campaigns for all candidates and working for the Victory Program at State GOP. Our club has had the opportunity to give generously to candidates seeking office because we’ve been able to raise money for this purpose with our fundraisers. I hope you were able to attend our recent fundraiser at Quail Creek titled “Dancing with the Stars & Stripes”. There was music, dancing and lots of money was raised to help replenish funds distributed to candidates in this election cycle. Thanks to all who worked so hard to make this such a success. Special thanks goes to Samatha Anderson who led the charge with a group of dedicated members who put on this wonderful event. THANKS SAM!! Just a couple of days following this successful fundraiser, we met for our regular November meeting. At that meeting I was elected to continue in my role as President of this club. Thank you all for your vote of confidence. It’s a pleasure to serve in this capacity with all these dedicated members. I’ve been serving as President with a marvelous Board. These are the hard workers that make it all happen for the OKC RW. I’ve had a wonderful time serving with them.

I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday and wish an early “Merry Christmas”. See you at the December meeting. Bebe

MELP Book of the Week.... Tocqueville: Democracy in America (Library of

America) By Alexis de Tocqueville Publisher: Library of America; 1st edition (February 9, 2004) Language: English ISBN-10: 1931082545 ISBN-13: 978-1931082549

It's hard to think of a work that has so influenced our understanding of the United States as this—still the most authoritative, reflective set of observations about American institutions and the American character ever written. That its author was a Frenchman, and an aristocrat at that, and that he was balanced and penetrating has often occasioned rueful surprise. However, de Tocqueville's distance from his subject is precisely what lends his observations such continuing currency. A few decades ago, for instance, we read Tocqueville for his prediction that Russia and the United States would one day contest for pre-eminence. Now, we ought to read him (Iraqis and Afghans should, too) for his classic analyses of the link between political parties and free associations and for his reflections on such matters as religion and public life, and "self-interest properly understood." But many solid translations exist. Why another? Because the Library of America would be incomplete without this canonical work of history and sociology. And this translation by Goldhammer, the dean of American translators from the French, accomplishes what it's hard to believe possible: it lends to this unalterably grave work some zest. Never slipping into slang, it gives a colloquial cast, fitting for our time, to a work normally rendered only with high solemnity. The Library of America claims that its editions will stay in print forever. This one's likely to stand that test. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
