This Assembly District is a leadership District. AD4 “deserves” a proud conservative voice on the issues that really matter for today’s citizens of California. What you want, and have come to expect from the AD4 Elected is a “voice” that speaks loudly on these issues…
On our Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger; yes, there is much in reference to the recall that we never saw developing. Yet I’m still very proud of my role “Father of the Recall”, along with The People’s Advocate Director, Ted Costa.Don’t let your thunder be stolen by an absolutists attitude here, the recall was, and is a success. An entire generation got to experience, first hand, how powerful we the people can be when we come together and work on a common goal. We felt the power of political engagement, and what we did once, we can do once again if need be.
Let’s remember, the recall produced a Governor who immediately removed the “Car Tax”. An administration that vetoed same sex marriage, and continues to do so every time the bill crosses his desk. A Governor who reformed worker’s compensation and stemmed the tide of successful people – the taxpayers of the state – who were being forced to leave California.
Granted…not everything is the way we want it, but the remnants of the recall are not complete. We learned a few lesson and are wiser for the journey. The completion of the recall is before us, now is not the time to grow apathetic.
As my friend Jon Coupal, of Howard Jarvis Tax Payers Association, pointed out just the other day, it could have been a lot worse. Read my lips: “To this day, No New Taxes”. We have moved forward, albeit a short distance, but forward we go in-spite of the naysayers.
On Immigration: We need to focus on immigration, not the immigrant!
Let’s stop attacking people and start attacking the problems with a three prong solution: a “real physical barrier to control our borders”, a qualified guest worker program that leads to authentic citizenship only for those who follow the rules, and on the state level – keep pushing the federal government to pay back the state for the cost of housing illegal immigrant prison inmates.
While we’re at it, it’s time to pressure California cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, who throw out the welcome mat that’s drawing more and more people here with the promise of a “hand out” and not a helping hand.
Finally, let’s stop blaming America for being the country these people want to come to live, work and raise their families. It is the best country in the world and we are obligated to share it with others who are looking for her shelter and blessed origins legally.
On Health Care, what’s being lost in the health care debate is why America leads the world in medical technology. That’s because in America, Health Care is a market-based system.
As everyone here knows, if you want to make something better, the competition and free market will do it best. No-body’s ever turned to the Department of Motor Vehicles for guidelines on customer service, and only a fool thinks the government can fix something that’s not really broken.
We need affordable, accessible health care, not a state-run program that creates a demand for more tax dollars while its ‘end-game’ threatens to ration care.
Remember, when it comes to Health Care, ‘conservatives’ have the healthy solutions; not the liberals nor the muckraking media celebrities.
On marriage, the institution IS one man, and one woman, one at a time. I have yet to hear how an “anything goes” attitude is good for society. Let me make this clear, “Government DOES has a role in deciding who gets to marry who!”
Think for a minute, and follow me on this. Every argument in favor of gay marriage can also be applied to those who favor incest and polygamy. As a society, we (the people, citizens and voters) get to draw the line. As for history, the people of California have spoken. Why change what works?
On our education system, the Governor says he wants next year to be the year for education reform. Well Governor, considering the vested interests in Sacramento today, good luck with that.
Everybody in the “education community,” as they call themselves, is making sure they get their piece of the pie. Everybody, that is, except the children, the students.
We are failing our children by failing to give them good schools full of great teachers. And I support teachers, it is an under-paid, under-appreciated career of great care. I especially support great teachers, and no real education reform will take place in California until we can reward the great teachers, and get rid of the ones who are just mailing it in.
As far as the ideal, when we get back to individual achievement, and this includes individual teacher achievement, then education wins in California.
On the “Sanctity of life”, I’m pro-life and I’m proud to say I’m pro-stem cell. Have you been reading the news? Look at the research that came out on non-embryonic stems cells. Stem cells taken from skin cells are producing the desired results. No more need to kill human embryos, human babies, to save and improve lives.
But in this brave new world of genetic research, we will need leaders who will stay vigilant. We don’t need any designer babies except those already being made by the “Great Designer” Himself.
On the environment; you can go ahead and label me a ‘creation care’ Republican.
As far as Al Gore and the United Nations and their Global Warming fear tactics, well I’ve had enough already. Haven’t you?
The great “carbon boogey-man” is never going to go away, not as long as government sees it as the next big excuse to tax us and regulate us.
Al Gore and his crowd won’t be happy until they turn the United States into Cuba, where rusted heaps of automobiles are pulled by horses, and the fields are tilled by oxen, and the last superpower is just another province in their one world-government.
Don’t get me wrong here, I pick up litter, I turn off lights and conserve water; and yes, let’s develop alternate fuels and energy independence. Let’s conserve and protect the environment and the economy with common sense stewardship. No more fear-mongering.
On those taxes, they are the dividing line between the public sector and the private sector. When taxes get bigger, the government gets bigger and the private sector, you know (you and me); we end up paying for it all.
The government has enough of our money now, it is time for government to be held under the microscope and for leadership to look closely as to how government can squander so much revenue.
Kudos to State Senator Jeff Denham, who researched the state to find that we (not the government, it’s our money) own golf courses, retreat lodges and vacation property that only the liberal elite can enjoy.
Now, because Senator Denham has done his research and exposed the government cash vaccum, he faces a recall in the State Senate. Imagne, here is an elected Senator who voted no on the budget and exposed government waist and “He” faces a recall from the majority party leadership.
Time for the ‘tipping of the tea bags’ in Sacramento!
Listen: Giving the government a tax increase is like giving your ‘brother-in-law’ a hundreds bucks so he can gas up his sports car and take his new girlfriend out on an expensive date. All the while, YOU and the family get to enjoy ‘Hamburger Helper’ and old VHS movie on your Television set.
It’s also like your brother in law, in that the government will never be too ashamed to come back and hit you up again…and again…and again. Time for more communicators inside of the “Belly of the Beast” we call The Capitol.
I ask you, when was the last time we had a voice inside of the Capitol who could demand attention on these issues?
Someone who can look into the lens of a camera, speak into the sensors of a microphone and clearly articulate the conservative frustration with California’s government ideology?
It’s time to look past the “backbenchers” and the “wall flowers” in the legislature. I want to be known as your voice, a “communicator” on the issues that matter to all of us the most. I could care less about pets, cigarette smoking and nanny government regulations.
We once had a ‘Great Communicator’ as the Governor in that downtown Capitol, and he sure made a difference for the party, the people and the nation. I’m tired of the Democrats having all of the attention, I say we get back to communicating with “Purpose and Passion” on the ideals, issues and legislation that makes a difference for individuals, families and the masses of this great state.
Support my campaign to be your next State Assemblyman and I will put my voice back into Sacramento’s debate, an inclusive, contemporary, conservative voice that represents moral, ethical and intelligent leadership for District 4 and the Golden State of California.
This is why I’m running, and this is why I want your vote and financial support for the race ahead, “Thank you!”
Titled “Limits on Legislators’ Term in Office”, Prop 93 is easily the most deceptive ballot measure Californians have faced in a generation. While it’s described as ‘term limits reduction’, what it would really do is give the current crop of free-spending, big-government lawmakers even more time in office.
As your Assemblyman, I will work hard to make healthcare affordable. What’s being lost in the healthcare debate is why America leads the world in medical technology. That’s because in America, healthcare is a market-based system. As everyone knows, if you want to make something better, the competition and free market will do it best.
As your Assemblyman, I will defend and protect the institution of marriage. Marriage is ‘one man’ and ‘one woman’ at ‘one time’. 
As your Assemblyman, I will protect your property from the growing abuse by our local, and state government’s distortion of eminent domain.
As your Assemblyman, I will implement, as well as research, means to reduce our district traffic problems and growing commute times. Snarled traffic steals from our private lives; individuals, families and businesses pay taxes for the transportation infrastructure. It is the government’s responsibility to deliver a smoother daily commute (infrastructure is goverment’s responsibility).
