UPDATE: The 2nd of these pieces hit our rural Nor-Cal mailbox this morning. Still has same positions that the Republican Party opposes, including multiple Prop 20 and 27 placements again. see below…
Oct. 13. CA Voter Guide in today’s mailbox, has a "Voting Guide For Republicans" that lists several NON-Republican recommendations to watch out for. Top of the list is State Treasurer which lists BILL LOCKYER for treasurer over our own Senator Mimi Walters…how is this a guide for Republicans?
On the Propositions, it recommends the Democrat backed gerrymandering return that Prop 27 advocates, [basically repealing Prop 11], and seeks a NO on 20 which adds the Congressional seats to Prop 11’s redistricting responsibities. [The panel to do the work of Prop 11 is in the process of being seated right now. Prop 27 seeks to toss out the voters will before it’s even tried once]
CA Voter Guide asks Republicans to vote for a park tax on DMV fees via Prop 21, which is also against the state CA Republican Party endorsement.
It is also against Prop 23 which the Party is for, setting aside the AB 32 Global Warming Act until jobs and the economy can recover.
In summary, Doug’s Voting Guide For Republicans says:
Mimi Walters, not Bill Lockyer for Treasurer.
YES on 20
NO on 21
YES on 23
NO on 27
watch out for paid* imposters!

So much for “Truth in Political Advertising”.
Does the FPPC have a say in this problem?
If not, then amend the campaign finance laws!
Banks have “Truth in Savings Act”!
If it is good enough for banks, then political advertising needs to be regulated.

SD Mayor Sanders, Whitman, Maldo, and most Republicans on the ticket also are NO on 23.
