The leaders and delegates of the state’s most influential conservative Republican volunteer organization, the California Republican Assembly, met in Bakersfield over the weekend. Bakersfield, of course, is in the center of Bill Thomas’ Congressional District.
In light of the news late last week that the Congressman was going to hold a press conference this morning to announce plans for his future (which have turned out to be welcome news of his retirement), the delegates to the CRA’s annual convention passed a resolution concerning Bill Thomas which is attached for your perusal.
** An an important note – disdain and dislike for Bill Thomas is widespread. It is notable that this particular resolution was authored by Brandon Powers, who in addition to being a member and delegate at the CRA convention, is the State Chairman of California Young Americans for Freedom. Cal-YAF has always been at odds with Thomas because the machine-politics-happy Congressman prefers support people for office committed to HIM, whereas YAF supports candidates committed to conservative principles.

Ouch! That pretty much sums up Mr. Thomas’s career. Mr. Spence is right though. The taxpayers will money ahead with Mr. Thomes’s retirement
