Steve Poizner has launched a new television spot — and has put conservative icon Tom McClintock front and center. Tom is the "gold standard" endorsement for California Republicans, and expect to see a LOT of this ad through June 8th…

Two pieces. FIORINA FOR US SENATE “Clear Choice”. Quite a bit of reading: the Palin endorsement I think is the important part. YES ON 16 “Don’t Write the Politicians a Blank Check”.… Read More

The campaign of State Senator Tom Harman, who is running for the GOP nomination for Attorney General, has released this web ad slamming one of his opponents, Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, for being soft on the state’s 3-Strikes law…

DATE: 5/25/10 TO: DEMOCRAT LEADERS IN D.C. AND SACRAMENTO FROM: JON FLEISCHMAN, CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN PARTY RE: KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

As the saying goes, “adversity creates opportunity.”

Your opportunity as Democrats who are supposed to be in charge, given the fiscal crisis facing California state government, would be to put aside your left-wing, socialistic passions, roll up your sleeves, and deal with the fact that we are going to have to make do with less – a lot less – as has been… Read More

The National Rifle Association, one of the most reliable and effective advocacy groups in the country, stunned Second Amendment supporters by weighing in on behalf of Don Kurth over conservative pro-Second Amendment businessman Mike Morrell. Kurth’s sordid history includes efforts to gather and destroy guns in order to erect peace memorials (“Annual Gun Destruction Day”). The memorials, a passion-project of New York-based anti-arms activist Lin Evola-Smidt, stated goal is “To melt down weapons and create peace in the United States will inspire the entire world to do what is possible.”

Admirable though Ms. Evola-Smidt’s efforts may be, they are not typically an effort embraced by the Second Amendment community nor the NRA. In fact, as an NRA member, I distinctly remember the NRA aggressively attacking Dan Lungren in his 1998 run for governor for… Read More

Okay. You’re a State Senator that voted for two horrific budgets in a row, raising the spending baselines to unsustainable levels, in effect creating the fiscal crisis we have in California today. On top of that, you cast the deciding vote to put Proposition 14 on the ballot when you thought you were running Statewide, enabling one of the biggest RINOS in the history of California, Abel Maldenado, to cut HIS budget deal to raise our taxes and further bankrupt California.

Your reward?

An endorsement in one of the most hotly contested Congressional primaries in California, from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. Yep, you read it. State Senator Jeff Denham is the endorsed candidate of HJTA in the 19th Congressional District primary.

To be sure, taxpayer advocates and Lincoln Club members fell out of their chairs today all over Central California. Nobody on the HJTA board bothered to check with any of us, I guess. We actually vetted all the candidates, did the research, and came up with a dual endorsement of Pombo and Patterson. There were NO, and I mean NO, votes for Jeff Denham for an endorsement. I guess we just pay too much… Read More

House Republicans want to engage Americans across the country and give them a voice in creating a new agenda for Congress. The American people and my constituents need the opportunity to actually be heard by their leaders in Washington, D.C., so House Republicans are providing that forum with today’s launch of America Speaking Out.

Over the past couple years, there has been a growing distrust from the American people about what is happening in Washington, D.C. Research shows they feel as though they are being ignored and in some cases ridiculed for speaking out about their priorities.

My Republican colleagues and I want to change that and want to engage the American people in a partnership. We need a bottom-up approach where leaders are listening and leading and moving an agenda forward that reflects the ideals of the nation. Congress is, after all, the people’s House.

AmericaSpeakingOut.com is a state of the art website that allows individuals to suggest ideas of their own, or weigh in on ideas offered by others. Everyone can see the ideas that are… Read More
