On June 5, 2014 SUNACRW passed a  resolution in support of paycheck protection.

Whereas, Pennsylvania law currently allows taxpayer resources to be used to automatically collect public sector union dues; and

Whereas, this collection process benefits a private organization at taxpayer expense; and

Whereas, employees are subjected to forced collection without their personal approval; and

Whereas, unions use these monies to impact the political process through activities and expenditures on behalf of opposition candidates and for self-serving lobbying efforts; and

Whereas, taxpayer resources should not be used for any partisan political purpose; then,

Be it resolved, that SUN Area Council of Republican Women calls on the Pennsylvania legislature to quickly pass Paycheck Protection legislation to protect worker freedom and relieve Commonwealth taxpayers from the burden of supporting public sector unions.

Our flag is the visual symbol of our United States.  This day we honor it as we remember the sacrifice men and women have given from the formation of our great country to those who defend her today.  Let’s all take minute to honor the flag and thank God for His mercies on our nation.

The National Flag Day Foundation focuses on education about and preservation of our flag.  Click on the link to find resources and ideas to celebrate today.

In Switzerland on May 18 there was a vote to establish a minimum wage rate at a world record $25 an hour: the vote was rejected overwhelmingly as an estimated 76 percent voted against it. Read more here.

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.   Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.

It was never between you and them anyway.”

Mother Theresa
