Loretta M. Sprenkle Memorial Essay Contest

SUNACRW is pleased to announce the inaugural Loretta M. Sprenkle Memorial Scholarship Contest.  The contest is open to students in grades 7-12 who are residents of Snyder, Union or Northumberland counties and who attend public, private, parochial or home schools.

Loretta Sprenkle was a founding member of SUN Area Council of Republican Women.   She served residents of Snyder County as a county deputy treasurer, Republican committeewoman, and was heavily involved in civic and church activities.  Loretta passed away suddenly in early 2012 leaving a legacy of love of God, Family and Country.  She was committed to educating youth on the importance of Americanism.

Students in grades 7-9 will write an essay entitled, “My American Hero” while those in grades 10-12 will answer the question, “Why did our founding fathers choose a republic over a democracy?”    Each division will award a first place prize of $50 and a certificate.  Winners will be given the opportunity to read their essays and receive their awards at the May 1, 2014 SUNACRW meeting.

All entries must be postmarked by April 1, 2014 and include an official entry form.

Freedom Is Fragile

Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again.

President Ronald Reagan.  First Inaugural Message as Governor of California, January 5, 1967.

Reagan Understood ObamaCare Would Come

“One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project…

James Madison in 1788…said: ‘…There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.’…

What can we do about this?…We can write to our congressmen and our senators… Say right now that we want no further encroachment on these individual liberties and freedoms… We do not want socialized medicine…

If you don’t, this program I promise you will pass…and behind it will come other federal programs that will invade every area of freedom as we have known…until, one day…we will awake to find that we have socialism.

And…you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children, what it once was like in America when men were free.”

These words were uttered by Ronald Reagan in 1961, one year before he became a Republican.  Do we think President Reagan would support “fixing” ObamaCare or would he call for full repeal?  His call for citizen action is still important today.  Call and write your congressman and senators about this and other issues.  Get involved this election year.  Participate in our Republic before Reagan’s final words are all we can do.
