In February of this year the Orange County Republican Party (“OCGOP”) voted to endorse several incumbent Congressmen for re-election. One of the incumbents seeking that endorsement was Congressman John Campbell. As an elected member of the OCGOP I was entitled to a vote and to voice my opinion on the subject. I spoke out against that endorsement and voted No.

This was the first time the OCGOP was doing endorsements since the passage of the terrible “Top Two Primary” of Proposition 14. Prior to passage of Prop. 14, the official party did not endorse in partisan office races such as Congress. But Prop. 14 has forced the Republican Party to do so and the OCGOP is the official arm of the Party in Orange County.

The tipping point for me regarding Congressman Campbell was the December 2010 lame duck Congress’ vote to repeal the military’s policy of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (“DADT”) regarding active homosexuals serving in the military. Prior to this vote I was becoming troubled with Congressman Campbell’s vote in favor of TARP and Cash for Clunkers and his abstaining on the vote to bailout the auto industry. When Congressman Campbell 1st ran for Congress in a special election, I was one of those who supported him by helping him obtain the endorsement of the California Republican Assembly and walking precincts for him. Until the most recent re-districting, I lived inside Mr. Campbell’s congressional district. Seeing him vote with the lame duck Democrats for the repeal of DADT was a shock and disappointment.

As a former U.S. Marine (1975 – 1978), I understand something about serving in the military including what I consider very severe challenges to service members’ 1st amendment rights of freedom of religion and free speech due to this change in policy. Almost immediately I wrote a letter to Congressman Campbell advising him that I did not agree with his vote, that as a former member of the military I felt I had some legitimate concerns over the implications of the repeal of DADT for those serving our country in the armed forces and I asked to meet with him to discuss this.

For over one year Congressman Campbell knew of my request (according to his District Director) but never would meet with me. At the OCGOP meeting in February I asked him to explain his vote to repeal DADT and why he would not meet with me, one of his supporters and constituents. Congressman Campbell stated to the members and guests of the OCGOP that he felt his vote was right partially due to information he, as a Congressman, had that we constituents did not have (can we spell arrogance!). He then went on to state several other things he has done as a Congressman that he was proud of – without once explaining why he would not meet with me (in his oral response to my questions he did not even acknowledge me or my letter to him on the DADT subject).

Almost immediately following this, Bill Dunlap (an OCGOP alternate) rose and asked Congressman Campbell why he is never in the District to meet with constituents or hold town hall meetings (bravo Bill!). The Congressman’s only response was that he feels his mass e-mails to his e-mail list is sufficient. I guess that means to the Congressman that face-to-face contact with voters in his District is not only not important but also not needed.

I am not important in this matter. What is important is a person who is supposed to be a representative in Congress who refuses to meet with a constituent on an important public policy issue. In my opinion that is not a proper attitude for a Congressman. Congressman Campbell did not lose my vote for endorsement – he did not earn it.  Congressman Campbell fell short of the two thirds votes necessary for him to receive the OCGOP endorsement (He was later able to obtain the endorsement of the CRP when the executive board met privately).

For those who live in the new 45th Congressional District, as you consider who to vote for in the June 5, 2012 election, I offer you this information for your consideration. If I lived in the 45th District I would cast my vote for Republican John Webb.

This article comes from Kelly Hubbard, our County’s tea party grassroots activist who evaluated the Presidential candidates until recently. His insights were well received by several tea party groups in Orange County where he gave presentations.

From now through June 5th, I’m going to be highlighting the most important local races and my recommendations for the June 5th primary.

One of the more interesting races going on in Orange County is the race for the newly formed 45th Congressional District.

The 45th includes the cities of: Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Irvine, Tustin, Villa Park, Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, Rancho Santa Margarita, Cote De Coza, and portions of Orange and Anaheim. John Campbell is the current GOP Congressman from the 48th. He is now running for re-election in the new 45th.

Rep. Campbell likes to call himself a staunch conservative, but his record in recent years reflect the typical establishment liberal republican politician. Congressman Campbell has consistently voted on the wrong side on many important issues! His voting record and his actions don’t reflect the views or the concerns of constituents.

One of the more disturbing votes in recent times was his vote to repeal the ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy, to prevent homosexuals from openly flaunting their lifestyle in our nation’s armed forces. Campbell sided with Obama and the extreme left on this issue and voted to have this ban lifted.

Campbell also has a history of coming down on the wrong side of some very important fiscal issues. In the Fall of 2008, Rep. Campbell voted for the huge Wall Street Bank Bailouts, also known as TARP. In addition, he was one of the few republican Congressmen to vote for Obama’s failed ‘Cash for Clunkers’ program. Let’s also not forget that Campbell agreed with Nancy Pelosi and other leftists to have our nation’s debt ceiling raised. Do you remember that?

Another one of John Campbell’s more disturbing votes was his vote on the STOCK Act. This STOCK Act prevented members of Congress from the unethical insider trading practices that has resulted in many of our politicians becoming instantly wealthy while serving in Congress. This scandal was revealed in the book: “Throw Them All Out.” Congressman Campbell was one of only two individuals in the entire Congress to vote against this important piece of legislation! That vote caused many to wonder if Campbell was in favor of members of Congress being able to illegally use information obtained in Congress to trade stocks and doing other unethical dealings.

Congressman Campbell has a long and very disturbing history of voting outside what his constituents would find acceptable! He was confronted once about why he votes against the wishes of his conservative constituents and he responded with a very condescending comment about how his constituents really don’t understand the complex issues he faces. Oh, really?!  I think it’s Congressman Campbell who doesn’t understand things!

It’s become increasingly obvious that John Campbell really doesn’t care about what conservatives back home think! That is why Campbell has refused to hold any Town Hall Meetings in his district in at least a year and he seems to have made his primary residence in Washington D.C.!

It’s time we send a message to establishment out-of-touch politicians like John Campbell! His actions and his liberal voting record have been tolerated far too long! The good people of the newly formed 45th Congressional District deserve solid conservative representation and not more of the same!

John Webb is the conservative choice in the 45th! 

Webb is a local businessman, former Marine, and former police detective, who has served his country and his community with honor for many years!

John Webb is committed to serving the good people of the 45th with integrity and respect! He’s an honest Christian family man and a solid Tea Partier! When John Webb goes to Congress, you can be assured that he’ll listen to his constituents and hear their concerns! John Webb is man we can trust to vote consistent with our constitution and our conservative values!

He can’t be bought off or in any way be corrupted by the establishment ways in Washington D.C.!

Webb will vote to make California and the 45th district golden again by keeping taxes low and pushing government out of the way so businesses can prosper! Webb would never vote to raise our debt ceiling and he doesn’t believe government should be bailing out anyone or anything! John Webb is a man we can trust to represent our conservative values in Congress!

On June 5th, I encourage you and others that you know who may live in the 45th to vote for a true conservative constitutionalist: John Webb!

On June 5th, I encourage you to reject the liberal ways of John Campbell and send a message to the republican establishment!

With this new top two primary system that we have now, John Webb is going to need more than just your vote to win! There is a Democrat in this race as well!

I encourage you to not only tell everyone you know in the 45th district about John Webb, but also consider volunteering for his campaign! His campaign needs conservative boots on the ground to become successful!

Remember folks, the absentee ballots are going out this very week! It’s crucial we get active and get involved in these important races! I’ve pasted Webb’s website below and the phone number of one of John Webb’s campaign staffers, so you can sign up to volunteer!

I encourage you to call and get involved today!  Read the interesting articles I’ve pasted below.

Thanks and God bless, Kelly

North Carolina voters on Tuesday overwhelming approved a measure to add an amendment to the state constitution defining marriage as the union of between one man and one woman.

That means that of the 32 states that have allowed voters to define marriage, all 32 have chosen to retain the traditional meaning. North Carolina’s Marriage Protection Amendment passed 61 to 39 percent, with approval from 93 of 100 counties.

President Obama called the results “disappointing,” just hours before declaring — for the first time since ascending to the White House — his support for same-sex marriage. He is the first sitting U.S. president to do so.

“I’ve been going through an evolution on this issue. I’ve always been adamant that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally,” he told ABC. “At a certain point, I just concluded that for me, personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think that same-sex couples should be able to get married.”

Vice President Joe Biden and Education Secretary Arne Duncan may have forced the president’s admission when they said in separate interviews released this week they support same-sex marriage.

Princeton University Prof. Robbie George said Obama’s announcement immediately alters the 2012 presidential race.

“The effect is profoundly important nationally,” said George. “The issue could have remained closeted at the state level. But once the president made the shift, a clear distinction between (Republican Mitt) Romney and Obama engaged at the national level.”

Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee, opposes same-sex marriage.

CitizenLink President Jim Daly said Obama’s fully-evolved position ignores the will of the people, as North Carolina’s vote shows.

“President Obama’s announcement that he has changed his position and now personally supports same-sex marriage is disappointing,” Daly said. “This is obviously a hot-button political issue on which there is much disagreement nationwide, and people of good faith will come to different conclusions. But the presidency comes with a bully pulpit that ought to be used with respect for the will of the people — and the will of the people on this issue is crystal clear.”

Several other states are scheduled to let voters define marriage this fall. In Maine, they will vote on a ballot measure creating same-sex marriage; in 2009, residents voted to repeal a same-sex marriage law passed by the legislature.

Meanwhile, in Washington, voters will have an opportunity to repeal a law creating same-sex marriage signed by the governor earlier this year. An effort to put a similar referendum on the ballot is under way in Maryland.

The Obama campaign apparently didn’t look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, “Forward” — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism.

Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name “Forward!” or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has an entire section called “Forward (generic name of socialist publications).”

“The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications,” the online encyclopedia explains.

The slogan “Forward!” reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.

The Obama campaign released its new campaign slogan Monday in a 7-minute video. The title card has simply the word “Forward” with the “O” having the familiar Obama logo from 2008. It will be played at rallies this weekend that mark the Obama re-election campaign’s official beginning.

There have been at least two radical-left publications named “Vorwaerts” (the German word for “Forward”). One was the daily newspaper of the Social Democratic Party of Germany whose writers included Friedrich Engels and Leon Trotsky. It still publishes as the organ of Germany’s SDP, though that party has changed considerably since World War II. Another was the 1844 biweekly reader of the Communist League. Karl Marx, Engels and Mikhail Bakunin are among the names associated with that publication.

East Germany named its Army soccer club ASK Vorwaerts Berlin (later FC Vorwaerts Frankfort).

Vladimir Lenin founded the publication “Vpered” (the Russian word for “forward”) in 1905. Soviet propaganda film-maker Dziga Vertov made a documentary whose title is sometimes translated as “Forward, Soviet” (though also and more literally as “Stride, Soviet”).

Conservative critics of the Obama administration have noted numerous ties to radicalism and socialists throughout Mr. Obama’s history, from his first political campaign being launched from the living room of two former Weather Underground members, to appointing as green jobs czar Van Jones, a self-described communist.

As you think about the gestapo-style tactics of the IRS in its witch hunt against all tea party groups, watch this shocking report of the IRS paying out $4.2 BILLION in “REFUNDS” each year to illegal aliens who file fraudulent tax returns.

The illegals, who of course don’t have social security numbers (legal ones anyway), use the IRS loophole of an “ITIN” (Individual Taxpayer ID Number), and use IRS Form 8812 to claim 9 or more “Additional Dependent Child” deductions for children that either don’t exist, or who are “nieces and nephews” living in Mexico.

One address in Indiana was a small mobile home occupied by one couple with one child, but the IRS received tax returns from 7 illegal aliens using that address, and who claimed 20 “dependent” children; all of whom lived in Mexico.  In 2010, the IRS paid those 7 non-citizens $29,000 in “refunds”.  Keep in mind that the aliens did not pay taxes or any form of withholding on the income they “claimed” on the tax return.  They simply used the fraudulent list of “dependent children” to not only offset any tax liability, but to get refunds.  That’s CASH from you and me; the suckers who still pay taxes.

Bear in mind the illegal aliens could not do this without a social security number and, for those who haven’t been able to steal someone elses, the IRS created the ITIN loophole so there would be no obstacles to all of them getting in on the scam

And Obama wants to hire 19,000 more IRS agents…NOT to go after these tax cheats, mind you, but law-abiding, productive conservative Americans in order to get us to pay for these and hundreds of other government-run scams, and also so that the Dems can increase and protect their fraudulent voters.

This also makes Obama’s mantra that “the rich pay their fair share” of taxes and increase support of this corrupt government seem even more infuriating.  What’s “fair” about us paying for fraudulent refunds to non-citizens?  Especially when the IRS REFUSES to stop this fraud, or go after the illegals; but instead are declaring war on the tea party and all productive, conservative citizens.

The Cloward-Piven strategy for collapsing the American economy by overloading the system is alive, well,… and succeeding.

Again, what our our elected representatives doing about it?  Better yet, why does it take a news station to discover it, when it’s happening right in DC under their noses?

And they wonder why we want all incumbents OUT!

May God Bless Your Day…

May 2, 2012

If voters can be perplexed picking the best candidate in elections for legislative and executive races, they may find themselves even more in the dark when electing a judge.

In other races, partisanship can help steer voters to kindred candidates, at least in theory. That’s usually not the case in a nonpartisan race for Superior Court. On June 5, Orange County voters will choose from two candidates who appear much different from each other, based on their experience and supporters.

Incumbent Judge Deborah Chuang is rated “well qualified” by the Orange County Bar Association, its second-highest rating. The Bar does not endorse candidates. Neither does the Register’s Editorial Board. Challenger Eugene Jizhak was rated “not qualified,” the lowest of four possible grades. The association did not elaborate, other than to note Mr. Jizhak “declined to provide any information directly to the bar.”

Mr. Jizhak, whose website is http://bit.ly/KvaLzD, is identified by the Registrar of Voters Office as a “general practice attorney.” He has no ballot statement on file. Mr. Jizhak, whose office is in Irvine, identifies himself as a graduate with a bachelor’s degree in microbiology from UCLA and a law degree from Newport University School of Law, passing the state bar exam in 1994. He says he has practiced law in California and Nevada since 1994 with experience as a “trial and transaction lawyer” in the areas of business law, real estate transactions, contracts, tort law/personal injury, family law, criminal law, bankruptcy and immigration law.

“I feel very strongly about wanting to serve the citizens of Orange County,” Mr. Jizhak says on his website. “I promise to work with you, the citizens and business of Orange County, to make our county a better and fairer place to live and work.” He says he is opposed to frivolous lawsuits, unlimited jury verdicts and “court/government bias. … I steadfastly believe that murderers, violent felons, insane maniacs, and molesters should not be let out on early release.”

He also has worked in construction, as a microbiologist/researcher, real estate broker, property manager and “warranted federal contracting officer.” He identifies himself as a surf fisherman, golfer, aviator, bicyclist, hiker, painter civilian parachutist and speaker.

Ms. Chuang, whose website is http://bit.ly/K2m9G3, has 16 years experience as a judge, prosecutor and attorney, previously spending almost 12 years as a prosecutor in the California Attorney General’s Office prosecuting “hundreds of felony cases” and defending “the ‘Three Strikes’ law.” She has argued successfully before the U.S. Supreme Court and the California Supreme Court.

She is a graduate of Duke University and U.C. Berkeley School of Law and worked as an associate in the business litigation section of Orange County law firm, Rutan & Tucker, LLP.

She boasts “bipartisan support,” from local elected politicians, among them, U.S. Reps. Ed Royce, R-Fullerton, and Loretta Sanchez, D-Santa Ana.

She is a 30-year resident of Orange County, wife, and mother, who believes “in justice, fairness and integrity. Persons who appear in my courtroom are treated with courtesy and respect.”
