Weknow there are 1,432 voting Members of the Republican State Central Committee, a.k.a. the California Republican Party (CRP). But since geography in our thousand mile long state can tell you quite a bit aboutpeople’s political interests and alliances, just where do those people live? I broke itdown by county and by the CRP’s oddly configured "regions", and the results are revealing. Only three counties have more than 100 Members. Another 17 counties have at least 20 Members. These "Top Twenty" counties have 1,103 of the 1,432 Members, or a whopping 77% of the total vote. The three southern California coastal counties of Los… Read More

Millions upon millions of criminal aliens are living in the United States, in violation of our laws. President Bush and some Senators of both parties have proposed a massive amnesty proposal that would grant legal status to all of these people.

If you think, like I do, that this is a terrible idea, then let your Congressmen know. Also, if you are a GOPer, then contact the RNC right away. The titular Chairman of the Republican National Committee is Florida Senator Mel Martinez. Tell the RNC that you are watching the Senator’s vote, and expect swift action on the part of RNC leaders if Martinez votes for the amnesty plan. (Frankly, as our party’s leader, he should be leading the fight against this bad bill.)

I am going to contact my Congressman, John Campbell, right now!

I am a supporter of LEGAL immigration. But not legitimizing scofflaws who disrespect this country by violating her laws to be here.… Read More

Red County’s young intern (who uses the nom-du-blog El Libertador) attended a talk yesterday by Amir Abdul-Malik Ali that was sponsored by the UC Irvine Muslim Student Union.

El Liberdator was trying to video tape the talk but ultimately was harassed out by Muslim Student Union members who surrounded him, stood in front of his camera, threatened to call the police — you know, standard campus thug tactics.

Click here on Red County/OC Blog to see his video and read his account of the incident.… Read More

14-term Congressman David Dreier of California’s 26th Congressional District (Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties) is emerging as the leading US House Republican in Spotlighting Congressional Democratic attempts to stifle debate on legislation on the Floor of the US House of Representatives. Such efforts are causing Democrats in their new-found majority status to break a key election year campaign pledge to ensure the “Most open Congress in History.” According to Congressman Dreier (David Dreier is the immediate past chair the House Committee on Rules), Speaker Pelosi’s Democrats have intentionally quieted discussions on very serious federal measures, including last week’s historic debate on Iraq supplemental funding legislation.

Specifically, Congressman Dreier is taking Congressional Democrats to task for issuing of a closed rule for consideration of an appropriations bill. Last week, House Democrats issued one closed rule for the latest version of the Iraq war supplemental funding bill. No… Read More

I just received this release from the office of FR friend and Orange County Congressman Ed Royce (R-Fullerton) in response to actions taken today by the U.S. Senate that grants amnesty to illegal immigrants under a new form of visa:

THE SELLING OUT OF AMERICA

Rep. Ed Royce – Ranking Member, Terrorism, Nonproliferation & Trade – issued the following statement on the Senate Immigration Deal. The Senate bill will provide amnesty to those here illegally, no matter how the Senators "spin" the issue. Amnesty failed in 1986, as it prompted a massive increase in illegal immigration with the anticipation of future clemency. Amnesty says that individuals need not respect our laws, it awards people who break the law and flout our sovereignty

The 1986 amnesty provided legal status for undocumented aliens already present in the country. It… Read More

As many of our readers know, Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is completely controlled by Board Members opposed to making serious reform and have placed the needs of special interests ahead of educating our children.

Nearly 750,000 students are currently enrolled in the system, and according to most estimates, about 50% of those students will never make it to their graduation.

The New Majority California (NMCA) (a client of ours at Meridian Pacific) has made reforming LAUSD a priority since it started a Los Angeles chapter in 2005.

In 2006, NMCA and its members worked with Republican State Senator George Runner in trying to craft language for the LAUSD Takeover Legislation; its members have lead efforts to increase the number of charter schools in the district (a major issue in this most recent election); and two prominent members of the LA Chapter, former Mayor Richard… Read More
