Sacramento-based sources claim that Senator Robert Dutton (R-31) will throw his hat into the ring to unseat embattled San Bernardino County Second District Supervisor Paul Biane.  Three others, Upland Mayor John “JP” Pomierski, KCAA radio host Peter “Scott” Markovich, and publisher of The Alpenphorn News, Dennis Labadie, have all expressed interest in the seat, with the latter two having already declared their candidacies.

Biane was implicated this week as John Doe 5 in a criminal complaint alleging conspiracy and bribery when San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos filed charges against former Assessor and Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Postmus and former Assistant Assessor and Third District Chief of Staff Jim Erwin. This, combined with other on-going legal issues, opens the door for a likely successful unseating of Biane. (more…)

Dear Friends,

In California, a lot is at stake in 2010. While many in politics tax our lives to the hilt, new candidates speak of “fixing the problems” in Sacramento. But will these same men and women try to fix the problems with more government programs or more public spending?

I have raised my family and built my business on the American pillar of self-government. If elected to our State Assembly, I will keep my word to fight to end the job killing regulations, the anti-family laws, and the new taxes passed by the liberals in our State Assembly. If not, I will resign. Period. (more…)

While the president of our nation tells us to stop watching political news, we the people have ignored that order. While he may prefer to rule over an uninformed electorate, he is too late. Just as Washington DC is an island surrounded by reality, so is Sacramento. The echo chambers are inside the Capitols-not outside.

Political news is on the hearts, minds and lips everywhere in town, at the post office, coffee shop; at the grocery store and at the bank…That is all you hear folks talking about.  A few years ago you would expect to hear the usual complaints about our government with few or no solutions offered. Now I hear desperate pleas to implement real solutions while our leaders would prefer for you and I to mind our own business. Now this generation has learned anew it is their government and as its rightful owners, they will be taking it back with no apologies offered. (more…)

The Tea Party Revolution Candidate Fair 2010 was canceled, not only because of rain, but because Tom Fuhrman, the owner of Wooden Nickel Ranch was told to “Cease and Desist” this Saturday’s event by the City of Menifee.  Fuhrman, from Wooden Nickel Ranch, has been given permission from the Menifee City Council for a 5 year permit to hold events at the Ranch, but he received a letter this week stating to cease and desist this upcoming event. This is private property. He was also told the application is pending. There had been no indication of any problems recently. Why now and why so close to a pending event?

On Wednesday about 4:45 pm, one member assisting in organizing the event received a phone call from one of the candidate’s coordinators.  This person was told by the candidate’s coordinator that he received a phone call from a female at the Menifee city council warning them the event was going to be stopped by the City of Menifee on the day of the event.    He stated that they told him that the Ranch owner had a code violation on the property.

Henry Nickel is a Rail Analyst for Riverside County Transportation Commission and candidate for the 63rd Assembly District.  He can be reached at info@herynickel.com.  His website can be found at:  www.henrynickel.com

Nearly every generation of Americans has faced a time in which the underlying presumptions and blessings of this great state and nation are partially stripped away if for only a time.  It is during such moments when the spirit of who we are as a nation and as individual citizens shines through, teaching us once more that nothing comes without a price.  The successors to the generation of Vietnam, rock and roll and free love are fast finding that not all things come to Americans as a birth right.   We live in a time of instant gratification, anonymous interaction, perceived rights to privileges not earned and little knowledge of just where the comforts we take for granted come from and at what cost.  Not unlike prior generations, the next is on the verge of a great awakening to the fundamental truths that have made our nation a beacon of hope to all humanity for centuries.

I now have electricity and water—not hot water, but at least water that comes out of a pipe instead of a bottle!  Okay, most of the pipes, but not all of them.  A house with indoor plumbing . . . what a luxary!  I think I even have a working doorbell now not that anyone other than the Sheriff’s Department will ever visit me.  But if they do, they can ring my doorbell.  I’m so excited.  That was only 59 days without utilities . . . and a doorbell.

Today a business owner can expect to spend half his money on taxes. Rush Limbaugh says he can argue with liberals with half his brain tied behind his back. Cell phones are half the size they were five years ago and beginning as early as this July, you could soon go to jail for driving your car with tires that are half a goats’ fart shy of the recommended air pressure. Yep.

The California Air Resources Board is now bringing the war against global warming home from the battlefields of science fiction to your garage. CARB’s new rule will criminalize the operation of YOUR motor vehicle traveling in THEIR State of California with sub standard tire air pressure.  Few would argue with the logic that under inflated tires can have some impact on your gas mileage. So what if you are not as retentive guy driving in the lane next to you? Driving your car running on under inflated tires is now emitting more greenhouse gasses than that guy is, that’s what.

Pat Gilbreath is a mother, CPA, community volunteer and candidate for the 63rd Assembly District. In 1993, she won a seat on Redlands City Council, serving as Mayor from 1999 to 2001 and once again holding the position of Mayor. An uncompromising taxpayer watchdog, she’s been an outspoken voice against government waste, and a persistent advocate for spending restraint and lower taxes.  Learn more at:
www.StandWithPat.com

As a CPA, I’ve never understood how politicians campaign on “job creation,” while supporting policies that undermine and destroy any hope of real economic growth. They should really know better. High tax rates combined with incredible levels of spending and debt have sidelined thousands of California’s job creators and entrepreneurs. Exhausted taxpayers can no longer afford the price.

The fact is that we can’t continue to grow the size of state government while creating a healthy environment for job creation and growth. It just isn’t possible. Sacramento has been recycling this strange strategy for decades, under Democrat and even Republican management. Without principled, conservative leadership in the State Assembly, California’s negative course is set, with little chance for change. (more…)

Republicans who waited until the incumbent withdrew are opportunists who did not oppose higher taxes, said John Würm, campaign manager for Ken Hunter, Republican candidate for the 59th Assembly District. Hunter has been running for the nomination since the first week of October 2009. The incumbent quit even after his recall failed because he knew that he could not beat Hunter.

Hunter said that he has steadfastly opposed not just Adams, but Adams’ high tax votes and that Californians pay more taxes overall than any other state. Hunter said that he wants to get California working again. Hunter said that it was his goal in the beginning to replace Adams and his high tax policies. He said voters are looking for leaders to reduce taxes and spending and will not vote for those seeking to just “move up the ladder.” Hunter says he will stand up against Democrats instead of surrendering as some have recently done.
