Freedoms have never been Free… In the current political climate,
members of the NRA must try to retain their rights to own a firearm, as well as pass on the valuable tradition to their children.
At the heart of these efforts is the annual “Friends of The NRA Dinner”. Each year over 1,000 banquets are held
across the nation. Last year, the Paso Robles fundraiser was the fifth largest in the country! The money raised during these
events has gone on in part to educate American children about gun and shooting safety, build gun ranges, provide equipment,
and so much more. The volunteers that organize, and hold these events are truly at the forefront of saving
the all important 2nd Amendment right to simply own a gun. On Saturday, March 6th, the Paso Robles Friends
of the NRA will hold their annual dinner and auction at the Paso Robles Event Center. Everyone on the Central Coast is invited
to attend! Please join in the fun of a great Tri-tip dinner, silent auctions, live auctions, and get in on the chance to win
some really great raffle prizes. Individual dinner tickets are available at $50 each. Corporate sponsors can purchase tickets
for a table of eight guests, and receive some great incentives as well. Each year the Central Coast Dinner is a night of great
fun, and it has been one the Nation’s top fundraising events for years. For tickets, or more information, please call Noel Ryan at (805) 238-3401. Never before has so much been at stake…With Congress facing the reality of its waning power to ram
legislation through, they will surely want to address gun owner’s rights in the very near future. It is the National
Rifle Association’s primary goal to monitor upcoming legislation, and prevent infringements of all American’s
constitutionally granted rights. The money raised at these dinners, as well as NRA member’s annual dues have gone on
to ensure that long time gun ownership rights are not trampled on. History and tradition have a place in American culture.
We will Hope that Change does not mean we must give up rights that so many people have worked so hard to protect! Please join the NRA this year, and we’ll see you at the
dinner…

Where your money goes… Fresh on the heels of
a big win in Massachusetts,“Shaking
Things Up” is poised to be the leading candidate across America. While some multi-term career politicians are now scrambling
to distance themselves from the “tax some more, spend some more” way of doing things, it won’t appease enough
Americans to do any good. Voters have had, and seen enough. It has become clear that old time, party politics got us into
this mess, and it will take some major changes to get us back on track to a health economy. In a time of limited government
budgets, declining revenue, and idiotic new laws that cost us all money, is there any common sense out there anymore? Get
ready for this example…
We recently delivered a metal building to a ranch owner in Southern California. He mentioned that he was an employee
of Cal Trans. Having read my column about the new California diesel smog rules, he said “You haven’t heard anything
yet!” He went on to tell me the problem several California State agencies face. It seems that when Cal Trans and Cal
Fire (CDF) set out to buy new trucks, it can take up to three years from order date, to the date it is delivered to the actual
work location. Between budgeting, building, and outfitting the truck for the exact use intended, there is a delay. Well, recently
these state agencies have come to discover that the new trucks they are taking delivery on do not meet the State’s new
diesel emissions rules. California lawmakers have refused to exempt the State’s own expensive purchases, and now these
agencies are looking to scrap new dump trucks, bulldozers, fire vehicles, snow plows, and more. Are you serious? With the
State near broke (or is it?), we are now supposed to sit by and watch them scrap new and nearly new equipment, just to say
we are helping the environment? A 2008 model truck is vastly cleaner burning than older models; let’s use them since
WE BOUGHT THEM! Wow, common sense.
The only candidate running for Governor of California willing to address this incredible issue is Meg Whitman. Her
campaign promises to roll back these rules if elected, and to bring common sense back to the State’s spending policies.
Let’s hope.
Until then, get ready to help shake things up here in the Golden State. A good house cleaning, soon!

Clearly a Better View In this day and
age, operating your own small business is a risk, but with some great rewards.The boss you face each day is yourself, and the customer grades you daily. If
you are up to the challenges, you can make a go of it, and have an enjoyable career while you are at it! One such example of a well respected and
growing business is Stewart’s Window Cleaning based in Paso Robles. While attending college, Bruce Stewart began washing
windows for commercial clients as a way to earn some extra income. After college, and a successful career in the retail hardware
business, Bruce went back to what started it all. With his background in sales, he has spent years knowing what people want:
Quality Work done right, at an Affordable Price. Serving both residential and commercial customers from San Luis Obispo to

hears from customers how much brighter the room is, and that they wished they had called him sooner! Stewart’s Window cleaning proudly
uses only bio-degradable cleaning products that will leave windows and mirrors

leaving permanent damage behind. Once all the stains are removed, a sealing solution can be applied, preventing future water
spots. While you are having the windows washed, it’s the perfect time to have all the window screens washed, and repaired
if needed. Once the windows and screens are completely cleaned, the occasional rain shower will leave no visible spots. Less
need for follow ups!
