With the deadline for the signing bills approaching, 40 leaders in Los Angeles’ Antelope Valley held a press conference telling the Governor to veto AB 606 and AB 1056. Both these bills are sponsored by Equality California. Hats off to teacher Scot Sutherland in organizing the event, which featured Assemblywoman Sharon Runner. See the article here.… Read More

San Bernardino County Republican Party Chairman Bill Postmus today announced the Republican Central Committee’s endorsements for 62 candidates and measures on the November 7 ballot.

Click here to see the list.

"We received requests from more than 80 candidates, an unprecedented number," Postmus said. "Every year our party is getting more and more successful at helping Republicans get elected to local office, and the demand for our support has grown every election."

Those candidates endorsed by the county party are included in its voter contact programs, including direct mail, telephone calls, and precinct walks. Since 2000, 85% of GOP-endorsed candidates have won their respective races. Thanks in part to the GOP’s voter contact programs and heavy Get-Out-The-Vote efforts, cities such as Fontana and Ontario, traditionally Democrat strongholds, have been swung to the Republican column.… Read More

Democrat elected officials and candidates just slay me sometimes. They consider themselves intellectually and morally superior than all of society, yet their political strategies are just idiotic. Now Phil Angelides, probably the worst Statewide candidate ever fielded by the Democrats, has finally found his issue – the Iraq war! Yes! That will do it! What genius!

Memo to Democrats: you ran on the Iraq war in 2004 and lost. You are running on the Iraq war in 2006 and aregoing to lose again.

The President’s poll numbers, in my judgment, are not about any one issue. His 9-11 tribute speeches, falling gas prices, and hysterical rhetoric from the left are all important, but not the main reason his approval ratings are up. Here’s the reason:

He’s on OFFENSE. Republicans are so desperate to see their elected officials on offense, rather than the usual backpedaling, that the base gets very fired up when we go on the attack. If we stay on offense through election day, the election cycle will go well.

GOP prospects across the country rise and fall beginning with what is… Read More

Did anyone stay up and watch NBC’s Tonight Show? Jay Leno told a joke about GOP US Senate Nominee Dick Mountjoy and his lack of service on the U.S.S. Missouri. The Los Angeles Times story rests on a mistake Mountjoy stafferPeggy Mew made six years ago. See here.

The joke was a play on his name.Standard Leno, except then Leno added something about Dick making up his war time service.

Jay Leno is wrong. Even the Los Angeles Timesprinted his service record. Dick Mountjoy was involved in combat and gun strikes on Communists in Korea as part of his service on the U.S.S Brementon. Period. Check for yourself.

See his service record here.

Interesting note: The Missouri was deactivated in Brementon, Washington, which served asits’ homeport for many years. Hmmm!… Read More

The new PPIC poll shows Governor Schwarzenegger up 48 – 31 over Phil Angelides.

Angelides is leading among Democrats by 57-21.

Schwarzenegger is up among Republicans, 82-4.

Among independents, it’s Schwarzenegger by 42-27.

Among men: 54-27.

Among women: 41-24.

Schwarzenegger is even getting 30 percent among Latinos.

The question is, will this produce coattails for McClintock, Poochigian, Strickland and the rest of the downticket?

And, in the face of these numbers, will the unions really spend $25 million?… Read More

The Governor has signed legislation targeting one side of the political debate, but not and the other and a bill that is designed to publicly shame pharmacists that are pro-life.

The Governor will never win any awards for protecting innocent Human Life. Everyone knew that he was with the exception of possibly parental notification zealously pro-abortion. His COS Susan Kennedy was the chief political operative for the California Abortion Lobby.

In his kowtowing to the extreme pro-abortion agenda of the Democrats in the legislature he has signed three bills under the banner of benefiting "women’s health" that really target political speech and freedom of religion. See release here.

The Governor signed AB 2251, which limits the amount of personal information about abortion business people, volunteers etc. that can be placed on the web. Of course there is a free speech issue here, but let’s say it isn’t okay to put this stuff on the web. Then why are only abortion businesses protected? Dennis Hollingsworth put up an amendment that would have extended these protections to… Read More
