My Apology to Marilyn Davenport

"Mike Schroeder acted with intent to hurt Marilyn and to hurt the Orange County GOP. It’s Mike Schroeder flexing his muscle. He took something that should have been inconsequential and turned it into an international media circus. Mike Schroeder should be the one apologizing to Marilyn Davenport and the Orange County GOP." – GOP activist Teresa Trujillo, as quoted in the Orange County Register.

Dear Marilyn,

Since Republican officials like Mike Schroeder, who made public that harmless little email of yours (the one with President Obama’s face on a chimpanzee), won’t apologize to you, please permit me to step in and issue you a heartfelt apology in their place.

CALA Applauds Galgiani and Newsom

CALA would like to applaud Assemblymember Cathleen Galgiani (D-17) for being a part of the recent delegation that went to Texas to hear from businesses and other officials about ways to encourage job creation. The delegation was led byAssemblymember Dan Logue (R-3) and included nine other lawmakers plus Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom. Texas has added 165,000 jobs over the past three years while CA has lost 1.2 million, so it is good that a group of decision makers hit the road to find out what the problem is with California and what can be done.
