You may turn on your television set and see an ad in support of Redistricting. "Who is that man, you might say, that definately is NOT Arnold Schwarzenegger?"
If that is the case, you likely live in the Central Valley, where your local Congressman, Devin Nunes, has started running his own Yes on Proposition 77 commercials.
Kudos to Nunes both for stepping up to the plate and supporting the measure, and for going the extra mile to create TV spots!
Lately, there has been a lot of disappointment from grassroots Republican activists and donors, who cannot believe that over half of the California GOP delegation has either come out against 77, or is cowering behind their office doors, refusing to take a position.
It doesn’t take too much of a look back in history to see that right after the last census, when it was time for reapportionment, all of the legislators in Sacramento (encouraged by some in our Congressional delegation) signed off on what has been called an ‘incumbent protection plan’ – a better name for it would be the ‘Demcrat permanent legislative majority plan’ — it was a travesty.
Now, years later, this Governor, experiencing the total lack of common sense from a legislature made up of a majority of ‘looney lefters’, has had to take redistricting to the ballot.
Well, thank God for patriots like Congressman Nunes, who are doing the right thing. If you would like to SEE his commercial, it is linked to my commentary today.
