It is worth it to watch the whole debate, but here are a few Brown quotes that were very telling:

“I’m running for AG because I want to bring some common sense and a practical approach to that office. I’ve had a record of integrity and innovation and I know how to get things done.”

I’m thinking that the only people in this… Read More

Just an hour or so ago, the California Court Appeals ruled that Proposition 22’s definition of marriage is constitutional. This overturns a lower court ruling and sets up a possible Supreme Court hearing on the case. See article here. See entire ruling here.

Pro-Family citizens while celebrating should realize that thier homosexual activists are making huge strices in Sacramento. Equality California got 14 bills passed and the Governor signed 10 of them. See here.Arnold only vetoed those with a high profile. Otherwise he did the homosexual lobby’s bidding on the others.

Our Democrat friends over at the California Majority Report finally pulled their act together and are posting on a daily basis with what seems like some autonomy from the mother ship. See a previous commentary by FR publisher Jon Fleischman on the subject here.
