Matthew Blek had been a high school wrestler who played guitar and violin. Blek, speaking with traces, still, of disbelief as well as resolve. “Our son was shot in 1994 by three 15-year-olds,” said Mrs. James Brady, Reagan’s press guy, became a gun control champion after being shot in 1981 in the assassination attempt on the president. It was the issue of gun policy, which is why they wore those T-shirts. It was not Trump, however, or healthcare, that drew the Bleks to the town hall meeting in Irvine. “A number of them have said that, but for Covered California, they would have no coverage at all.” “Within my practice we talk to a lot of parents and grandparents who are extremely concerned about keeping the preexisting condition clause … and insurance for those 26 and under,” Mr. She’s a former school nurse who now runs the Laguna Hills office where Mr. Blek, who felt the flaws in Obamacare could have been fixed. “You don’t throw out the baby with the bath water,” said Mrs. The Bleks have strong opinions on the healthcare bill that was kicked over to the Senate - a bill that analysts say would leave millions uninsured, slap older Americans with higher costs and make it harder for those with preexisting conditions to get coverage. Blek was shot and killed in 1994 by three teens who had killed a 37-year-old man 90 minutes earlier.
“I believe there are a lot of Republicans who feel as I do, that we need to protect public safety and be accountable and responsible.” But public safety will always be at risk, she said, “as long as the gun lobby is calling the shots and Republicans are drinking the Kool-Aid.” Matthew C. Blek said she has not left the GOP but feels as if it has left her. Ronald Reagan probably wouldn’t stand a chance in a presidential primary today, said Mr. And it seems to me that whatever the political party, there ought to be room in the tent for those who aren’t trying to set it on fire. I like revolution as much as the next guy, but we’re learning now that knowledge, maturity and a plan are important qualities in a leader. They’re moderates, and their party of choice is currently led by a grenade launcher whose army of supporters felt forgotten, so they enlisted with the first guy who told them what they wanted to hear. With a phone call and a visit, I learned they’re an endangered species in the Trump era. These Reagan Republicans feel left behindīut it turns out the Bleks, who were wearing Brady Campaign T-shirts in the photo, are Republicans. On healthcare, Trump recently took bows for a half-baked House bill that bulldozed some of his oft-repeated promises about better and cheaper healthcare for all.Īnd Democrats - who happen to be having their own nationally televised identity crisis - see that as an opportunity to bounce Republicans in next year’s midterm elections. These pitchfork rallies have been happening all over the country, with ticked-off voters speaking up about immigration and environmental policy too. Many of them were in a fever about support by Walters and other Republicans for the repeal of Obamacare. Walters was a no-show at a “town hall” attended by hundreds who wanted to talk to her. You may have seen it in The Times last week, the Bleks smiling as they stood next to a cardboard cutout of Rep.

“Our women in the territorial defence units are currently being trained on how to use weapons as well as men there.Charles and Mary Leigh Blek of Trabuco Canyon take a nice photo. “These women have a different background though they are united with the same feeling of patriotism and love for Ukraine,” Ms Kovalenko said. The women come from all walks of life, ranging from students to businesswomen to politicians. “We also work with information to help Ukrainian citizens understand how to accurately provide support to the AFU, such as coordinate and find out where tanks and military machines of our enemies are based in Ukraine, as well as pass this information to the AFU.” “The others do volunteering by providing food and protective clothing like helmets.” “Some of women have joined the territorial defence units and now they are serving together with men,” Ms Kovalenko said.

The group has grown from around 100 members at the time of its creation to around 2,500 participants. Since 2014, the 39th Women’s Self-Defense Hundred led by Ms Kovalenko has been providing support, information and voluntary services to the armed forces of Ukraine (AFU).
