Congressman Ken Calvert


Congressman Ken Calvert is a life-long resident of Riverside County, where he has represented the 42 nd Congressional District for 33 years. He is one of the most senior members in the California Delegation. Ken is the ranking member of the Defense Subcommittee; and will be the Chairman of that Committee if re-elected in November. This is a very important position. Nancy Pelosi does not want that to happen, and has poured tons of $$ into his opponent’s campaign.

With re-districting the 42 nd Congressional District now includes parts of Riverside County, Norco, Corona, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, Canyon Lake, Menifee, Murrieta and Temecula.

Working for a secure border, Ken has worked to fix the broken system by requiring use of E-Verify by employers and restoring the rule of law. Ken is pro-veteran, pro- police and pro-life.

Calvert is a graduate of Cal State San Diego with a degree in Economics. He has been an active community leader in the Corona Chamber of Commerce, the Corona Rotary, and the Corona-Norco Family YMCA.

Please plan to attend and meet the ranking Republican in the California Congressional Delegation.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear Members:

Freedom has always required effort and our country is calling us to be true to her!  We all know that this Administration is doing great harm to all of us.  They want to reduce, if not eliminate, our freedom!  As we approach this critical mid-term election, it is important to remind your family, friends and neighbors to vote in person at the polls on November 8 - if at all possible.  Voting in person on election day is much safer than mailing in or even putting your mail-in ballot in a local drop box -- while convenient these approaches have been proven to be open to fraud.  Of course, the precinct voting machines are not trustworthy either.  Your vote needs to be counted.  Mail-in ballots need to be taken to the precinct, filled in there and dropped in the box.  No need to use the envelope.  However, if you are taking someone’s ballot to the precinct, please be sure to have them sign on the envelope, which gives you permission to drop off their ballot at the precinct.  Otherwise, it will not be counted.  Congress is waiting for us.  Let’s take it!

Patricia Pyle,
President
 
NOTE:  Have been advised of changes to voting in person:  take mail in ballot to precinct with SURRENDER written on both envelope and ballot, tear in half and give to official. Get new paper ballot, complete and drop in box at precinct.
