We are done until January 7, notwithstanding any special session action on water and health. The process of going though bills at the end wasvery fast and furious, not a great way to debate or contemplate bills. Workingtill 3:30 AM, whether trying to disc a straight line in a rice field, or do legislation, can get marginal results. … Read More
Among the most active of the College Republican chapters is the hard fighting San Francisco State College Republicans. Chairman Leigh Wolf is an innovator and leader which should give us hope that future generations are in good conservative hands.
Those College Reps are a serious thorn in the belly of the Leftist, Hate America crowd. Have a look at yesterday’s 9/11 commemoration video (below) on campus. And see which loonies show up…and yes you will always find a local tenured professor beating the drums for America’s enemies. Wolf wisely teamed up with the College Dems to have a non-political 9/11 Memorial. But the other side of the democrats turned out also. Watch it here:
Ryan Clumpner is the state chair for College Republicans from UC Davis. For any questions about College Reps email him… Read More

Study Shows Public Employers Saved Billions from Workers’ Comp Reform Joel Fox, President, Small Business Action Committee
As California’s workers compensation crisis came to a head in the winter of 2003-2004, thousands of stories and complaints echoed throughout the state about the crushing impact workers comp costs had on California businesses. Workers compensation costs tripled for some businesses in just a few years. For others, workers comp premiums totaled more than salaries. In traveling the state promoting the Small Business Action Committee’s workers comp reform initiative, I held up a copy of a state of Idaho advertisement from a California business journal promoting reasonable workers comp rates there and offering to help California businesses move. Some did.
However, little attention was focused on the difficulties workers comp costs… Read More
Last weekend, the Republican Party’s State Convention was held out in Indian Wells, where former Assemblyman Russ Bogh and current Assemblyman John Benoit are engaged in what promises to be an entertaining and nasty primary to succeed the termed-out local State Senator Jim Battin.
There is an axium that says, "there is never a good time to vote for a budget."
Slipped under hotel room doors at the conventon was a full glossy campaign piece from the "Riverside Taxpayers Association" fileting John Benoit for an "aye" vote on a state budget some years back – when Gray Davis was still Governor. Kinda proves that axium above to be true!
This primary promises to be exciting, and we’ll try to bring you all of the fun… (The .pdf of this hit piece is attached below.)… Read More
From a trusted legislative advocate….
Governor Schwarzenegger, just a few minutes ago, called the Legislature into Special Session, starting tomorrow, to work on State Health Insurance Reform. He also called a Special Session on water projects.
The Governor also announced at his press conference that he would veto AB 8, as expected, the Democrat’s health insurance proposal.
It is anticipated that the Special Session on health care will operate mostly behind the scenes, with the political leaders trying to craft a solution.… Read More
IS PHIL ANGELES CRYING? I’m sure Phil Angelides is crying somewhere right now, depressed that he is not in Sacramento to sign the outrageous shift towards socialized medicine that has been passed by legislative Democrats and placed on the Governor’s desk. Much time has been spent on this page criticizing Governor Schwarzenegger for his own proposal to significantly increase the size of government and state government’s role in health care. That said, today is a good time to take a pause, and appreciate that the extreme agenda of Don Perata and Fabian Nunez is too far to the left, even for the port-side shift of Schwarzenegger. The Governor has vowed to veto AB 8 and he should be applauded for doing so. Perhaps if Mr. Angeles is bored, he can print out a copy of AB 8 on his computer, and sign the bottom of it. That’s about all of the relevance that he will have in this process — thank goodness!
THE LINE IN THE SAND ON REDISTRICTING REFORM Lost in all of the press on this healthcare debate is the… Read More
