I got this letter today from a friend. It seems to be circulating around the Internet via e-mail. If you haven’t received this, send this link to your friends and family as a reminder of why we don’t want Jerry Brown occupying the Attorney General’s office. On Tuesday (or before, if they are absentee ballot voters), they need to vote for Sen. Chuck Poochigian. Here’s why:

Mr. Gregg Passama ("COPS") President California Organization of Police & Sheriffs 430 N. Vineyard #310 Ontario, California 91764

Mr. Passama,

I am a retired Los Angeles Policeman. I was a "cop" who worked,… Read More

Two weekends ago, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was all over network TV, talking about her plans if Democrats won the House. On Monday, tracking polls all over the country showed a spike in Republican performance. We haven’t seen her since.

Harry Reid, Senate Minority leader, gets caught in a shady land deal in Nevada. Haven’t seen him since.

Senator John Kerry, in perhaps one of the worst campaign gaffes of all time, denigrates the educational levels of our troops in Iraq (who have a higher percentage of college degrees than those not serving in the military). Today, his planned trips to Iowa, Minnesota and Philadelphia are all canceled at the request of the candidates he was planning to support.

We won’t see him again until after next Tuesday.

Yes, the new strategy for the Democrats – hide!

Lest any conservative become smug about the situation, keep this in mind – these buffoons are competitive with our side. It’s time to ask ourselveswhy.… Read More

Remember the amazingtelevisionads that Bill Jones aired against Barbara Boxer?

Oh wait, there weren’t any.

Retired State Senator Dick Mountjoy has released television and radio ads. The ads deal with immigration and are hard hitting.

Here is one line

"Since 9-11 more Americans have been killed at the hands of illegal immigrants than died in the terrorist attacks and the war in Iraq combined… (4700… by drunk drivers… 4300… by violent crime)."

Dick is after all an Immigration Reform Consultant and on immigration understands the problem. He authored Prop. 187 and was on this issue long befor many politicians realized it was a problem.

The ads will air on cable TV and radio.. You can check out theads by clicking link here.… Read More

If you are in politics you need to have a HIGH RESOLUTION digital picture of yourself available on the Internet for easy access.

This is just one of those things I’ve have come to realize after dealing with independant expenditures every election cycle.

EXAMPLE: You are a city council member running for re-election. You are waging a decent campaign but could always use some extra help. Some key business leaders do a poll and find that while you are leading in the polls, you could use some support. Since I did the poll, they ask me to spend $50,000 on your behalf (a few mail pieces, buy some slates, perhaps some paid precinct walkers).

If your photo is not readily available I have a problem.

For that same reason, you should always have a current web page with your most recent CV and even some news clips and quotes on key issues… Read More

I am profoundly disappointed at the announcement made today by Arnold Schwarzenegger that he is opposed to Proposition 90, the Save Our Homes Initiative. All of those I know who have been supporting and working hard on the Governor’s reelection are strongly supporting 90. I’m sure they will all be equally dismayed. Some things just make you go, “Huh?”

That’s all I will say for now… As someone said (my mom?), if you don’t have something nice to say…… Read More

Fox’s Hannity and Colmes featured Prop 90 heroine Mimi Walters on their focus on property rights and victims of private property takings abuse by government the other night. See an excerpt of Prop 90 State Chair, Assemblywoman Mimi Walters at the www.90yes.comhome page.… Read More

I don’t know if there are any more seats available for what will certainly be a ‘must see’ event in Sacramento tomorrow — but FR Publisher Jon Fleischman will be one of three participants on a panel about the Big Bang Bonds package entitled, "California’s Future: What’s At Stake This November" — the other two panelists – Assembly Speak Fabian Nunez and Maria Alegria, the President if the League of California Cities. Nunez, of course, supported all of the bonds and voted for them — Alegria’s League of Cities has endorsed the entire infrastructure package as well. Moderating the ‘discussion’ will be Mark Baldassare of the Public Policy Institute of California, which is co-sponsoring this event along with the New America Foundation (longtime FR friend Dave Lesher is their California guy). The event is at the downtown Sacramento Sheraton from Noon – 1:30pm, and here is a link to the info. MEET THE… Read More

So John Kerry’s defense of his reprehensible comment today is that he was really talking about the President’s education. Riiiiight. Let’s see, the President has a degree from…….oh yeah…..Yale! SoKerry means that a degree from Yale constitutes an inadequate education? Or did he really mean what he said?… Read More
