SVACR Meeting 5/29/2024

Join Our Breakfast Meeting on May 29th

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon:

We’re in “most treacherous times”

Are you ready for economic Armageddon?

 

To no surprise, Jerome Powell recently said that the Fed still doesn’t have inflation under control. In fact, the Federal Planning Bureau is now admitting that inflation will continue to increase through 2025. This is exactly what Victor Reed warned us about when he spoke to our group last year. Since then, inflation, interest rates, and gold prices have skyrocketed, and Goldback values have risen more than 25%.

Even left-controlled federal agencies admit that inflation isn’t stopping anytime soon, and the stock market bubble primed to burst.

 

What do you need to do NOW to minimize the damage to your finances, your business, and your family?

Even if Trump takes office in January next year and implements radically conservative fiscal policies, we won’t begin to see the effects upon the economy until 2027. But this assumes fair elections, Congress being cleaned out, and no more plandemics. What to do to protect yourself?

Back by popular demand, Victor Reed will disclose the latest revelations proving that our republic has been subverted such that even lawfully conducted elections won’t save us. Thankfully, he will also provide a way out, with immediately actionable solutions designed to reduce the impact of the coming economic Armageddon.

Come to hear more, come learn how to protect your family from the much-warned economic collapse. Sign up today!

Opt Out of Teacher and Other Government Unions

Want more money in your paycheck? Leave your UNION now!
How To Opt Out of Government Unions

Each two-year election cycle, public sector unions (including Teacher Unions) spend over $600 million on political campaigning and lobbying in CALIFORNIA!  Those funds are essentially taxpayer dollars harvested from the checks of teachers, state, county, city, and other government workers.

For the individual government worker, like a teacher who pays $1200 a year, this means that over a “30 year career” they could easily pay $36,000 in union dues.  That is $36,000 deducted from their pay checks that could be invested for retirement.

For a teacher who believes schools shouldn’t teach children to be sexualized at an early age, this means that the unions are using TAXPAYER DOLLARS deducted from your paycheck and that of other government workers to push legislation and elect left-wing politicians working against the best interests of families and the children you teach.

In 2018, the United State Supreme Court issued its decision in Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Council 31. This landmark decision clarified and articulated public employees’ constitutional rights to choose not to pay union dues and fees.

For workers who are clinging to the unions to protect them from potential liability, there are alternative organizations who provide that liability insurance at a much lower cost.  Membership in these alternative organizations run from $234 to $400 per year vs $1200 per year in union dues.

A Lesson Learned from 2022 School Board Races
You can take this to the Bank!

We had 16 great candidates who ran for school board seats in November.  They all worked hard learning to raise money (gulp!), campaign and recruit volunteers.  Unbelievably, most of their opponents did practically NOTHING to get elected!

The Santa Clara County Democrat Party and their Teacher Union cohorts fiercely attacked our efforts. Our conservative candidates were accused of “infiltrating school boards” as if running for office was subversive activity.

Lesson Learned

Candidates backed by the Teacher Unions did not have to do much to get elected.   The Teacher Unions did all the heavy lifting and funding of those campaigns. With names like Union District Educators Association and Cambrian District Teachers Association, these unions sound like they care about children.  Most voters are fooled.  The Teacher Unions must control how the SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEES vote for several reasons:

  • MILLIONS of dollars in contracts are voted on each year by the school boards.  It I imperative that these contracts go to UNION SHOPS.
  • Teacher compensation packages are negotiated and approved by the school boards.  Teacher Unions are electing the school board trustees who will give them what they want!
  • Teacher Unions promote and help pass School Bond Measures.  Bonds can only be used for “building” projects like new roofs, air conditioning, paving, etc.  The more building projects the more contracts that go to UNION shops.

You Can Take this Information to the Bank

To ensure that a bond measure passes, most include a provision exempting homeowners who are disabled or 65+ from paying the assessed parcel tax. YOU MUST BE PROACTIVE AND REQUEST THE EXEMPTION FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
