NFRW recently released its suggested book list for the Maime Eisenhower Library Project (MELP).  Councils of Republican Women across the nation participate in this annual project by donating books to their local libraries.  The books on the MELP list reflect NFRW’s dedication to education for all ages.  Topics include history, economics, conservatism, current events, culture, and the Constitution among others.

The 2014-2015 theme is taken from the Epictetus quote, “Only the educated are free.”   Epictetus was a slave who earned his freedom through education.   As a stoic, he believed much of life was beyond one’s control, but that individuals could better themselves through education, personal responsibility and self-determination.

SUNACRW participates each year in MELP donating identical book to libraries in Snyder, Union and Northumberland Counties.

In case you missed this morning’s Daily Item you may want to find a copy to read the Rick Dandes article reporting on his Q&A with Congressman Tom Marino.  In it, Marino calls Obamacare a “total failure”, says it cannot be “sufficiently reformed” and stands steadfast for its repeal.  It’s too bad all of Washington don’t take these positions.  Moreover, it’s too bad all Washington Republicans don’t take these positions.  A Rasmussen poll released last week found that 62 percent of likely voters believe that Republicans will repeal Obamacare.  Congressman Marino seems to understand this. 

It Is Precious to Them
