Peaceful revolution
On Aug. 10, at 7 p.m., Herb Meyer will be speaking at Seal Beach Leisure World, Clubhouse #2, 13533 Seal Beach Blvd. in Seal Beach. He will be speaking on Peaceful Revolution.
Study history and you will learn that some of the world’s most important revolutions happened peacefully – without firing a shot. Some violence comes later, when people realize what’s happened and begin to protest.
During the Reagan administration, Meyer served as special assistant to the director of Central Intelligence and vice chairman of the CIA’s National Intelligence Council.
Formerly an associate editor of Fortune, he has authored several books including “The War Against Progress,” “Real-World Intelligence,” and “Hard Thinking.”
Mr. Meyer is host and producer of “The Siege of Western Civilization,” a DVD outlining the threats of our security, our economy and our culture that became an international best seller.
Leisure World Tea Party Patriots and the 404/605 Tea Party Patriots will host this event.
If you are not a member of either Tea Party group, please call (310) 994-5522 to put your name on the guest pass list for entrance to the event.

Orange County needs a coyote abatement agency
Editor’s note: The following is a portion of a letter the Roissmoor Predator Management Team sent to the Orange County Board Of Supervisors.
Commencing in May of 2010, the Rossmoor Community in Orange County experienced 40 pet deaths, 19 pet attacks and four coyote stalkings of Rossmoor residents. As a result, Rossmoor residents formed a group as neighbors and entitled themselves the Rossmoor Predator Management Team currently consisting of 860 neighbors.
The Rossmoor Predator Management Team, hereinafter RPMT, provides instant e-mail alerts of coyote activity along with lost and found pets accompanied with crime alerts in the Rossmoor Community.
We are extremely appreciative of Board of Supervisor John M.W. Moorlach who has initiated coyote pilot grates over water control channels, improved gates, fences and foundations to channels, expeditiously handled the contract to trap coyotes in our community.
However, through all of Supervisor Moorlach’s efforts, communities within Orange County continue to be plagued with the continued coyote attacks and killings.
These attacks have resulted in residents being physically harmed and bitten in attempts to protect their pet from being killed by a coyote.
We are writing to request the creation of an Orange County agency to monitor, regulate and control the over-population of coyotes.
The coyote population has expanded beyond control in urban areas largely populated with children and household pets. Los Angeles only developed an Agricultural Commission after the death of a young female child killed by a coyote in 1981.
To continue to ignore the overpopulation of coyotes in Orange County with no governing agency to handle this issue is an absolute threat to the safety of children and senior citizens.
