A Write-In Gubernatorial Candidate for Reform?
The most depressing moment of this week’s gubernatorial debate came at the end, when Tom Brokaw asked the two candidates about whether California needed broader constitutional reform. Meg Whitman ducked the question and repeated platitudes. Jerry Brown said that he would work with the system he was given.
Together, that amounted to the same answer:
So what to do? The state’s system doesn’t work. And these two candidates have no proposals – or interest, for that matter – in doing anything about it.
Rasmussen Reported
Over the weekend, I attended the annual Western CPAC gathering of California’s conservatives, and had the privilege to hear national independent pollster Scott Rasmussen speak about the upcoming 2010 Elections.
With just two weeks to go until an historic Election Day, his comments were more interesting than ever.
Yes on 20/No on 27 Campaign Hosts A Night at the Movies
This Tuesday, October 19 the Yes on 20/No on 27 campaign is hosting a local screening of the new, critically-acclaimed film Gerrymandering at the Crest Theater in downtown Sacramento. The movie will start at 7 p.m. The film’s director, Jeff Reichert, will introduce the film and there will be a brief discussion afterwards with members of the coalition and moviegoers.
Gerrymandering looks at the practice of politicians around the country drawing their own election districts to protect their jobs and power. The campaign wants voters to know that voting Yes on 20 and No on 27 can eliminate this practice in California.
Fueling An Agenda
In a deranged attempt to be the first state (again) to push an aggressive environmental agenda, California Air Resources Board officials grossly inflated pollution levels in air quality statistics by more than 340 percent in order to justify the agency’s radical environmental mandates and regulations.
Heads should roll, or at the very least, a public flogging should take place on the west steps of the Capitol. One state legislator wants to hold the Chairwoman of the California Air Resources Boardhttps:>, Mary Nicholshttps:>, accountable.
