••• The LW Republican Club book of the month for October is “10 Books Every Conservative Should Read” by Benjamin Wiker. The 10 books are:

• “Politics,” by Aristotle.

• “The Federalist,” by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay.

• “The Anti-Federalist Democracy in America,” by Alexis Tocqueville.

• “Reflections on the Revolution in France,” by Edmund Burke.

• “The Science of Politics,” by Eric Voegelin.

• “Orthodoxy,” by G.K. Chesterton.

• “The Servile State,” by Hilaire Belloc.

• “The Road to Serfdom,” by Friedrich Hayek.

• “The Abolition of Man,” by C.S. Lewis.

The author provides a succinct summary of each book, thus allowing readers to decide for themselves which books are most worthy of further consideration. In doing so, the author provides an informative overview of what it means to be a conservative.

Last month’s book selection was “Love Your Enemies: How Decent People Can Save America from the Culture of Contempt,” by Arthur C. Brooks, economist and president of the American Enterprise Institute .

••• The LW Republican Club’s information and hospitality booth will be open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. this month. People are welcome to stop by and pick up a voting guide.

Volunteers at the booth can also help clarify misleading information about issues, proposition and candidates. Voters are concerned about the economy, inflation and the prospect of a recession. These issues are especially important for LW residents who live on a fixed income. Republicans have traditionally been the party of fiscal conservatism and promoting small business and nonprofit agencies to offset the need for bigger government.
