FR friend Seth Unger, who serves as Director of Communications for State Assembly Republicans hits it out of the park with his comments on this news story about the latest "Nanny State" measure passed by the liberal Democrats who control the state legislature (and apparently yearn to replace parents with government)…
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, fresh on the heels of landing LA as the site of the big Microsoft World Partners Conference, has set his sights on bringing Comic-Con — the world’s largest convention for comic book enthusiasts — to the City of the Angels and to the downtown LA Convention Center. Bringing this massive gathering to Los Angeles would be a big feather in the cap of the beleaguered Mayor and welcome news as he and his City Council cope with a massive shortfall in the city’s budget that is dominating the news.
Unfortunately for Antonio, he has two well known Angelinos working at cross-purposes with him … Read More
Tom McClintock endorses conservative businessman Mike Morrell for 63rd Assembly.
What does McClintock say in endorsing my conservative client, Morrell?
“Mike Morrell is the conservative choice in the 63rd District. As a businessman, he values honesty and integrity and takes pride in his reputation. Those principles have served him well in business and I know they will guide him as an effective leader in Sacramento. I highly recommend him on the June 8th ballot.”… Read More
Believe it or not, in what is yet another whacked-out idea from ultra-left wing State Senator Alan Lowenthal, he has introduced legislation (SB 1299) that would establish what he calls a "VMT Fee" — which to the rest of us means he is proposing to tax Californians based on how much they drive their cars! (VMT = Vehicle Miles Traveled). I know, hard to believe that this is for real… Below our in-house cartoonist, Eric Eisenhammer, draws a cartoon about this bill… Here is his cartoon, "Odometer Tax…"

As we get close to the June primary, we thought we would check in on Audra Strickland’s campaign for Ventura County Supervisor. FR readers may recall that Strickland is challenging an incumbent Supervisor who, while a "registered" Republican actually endorsed and supported liberal Democrat Hannah Beth Jackson for State Senate against Audra’s husband, now State Senator Tony Strickland.
As a State Party officer, I am well aware that the Ventura County Republican Party and the California Republican Party have both endorsed Strickland, and are engaged in a substantive member communications effort to GOP voters on her behalf. But here’s a more "on the ground" perspective from FR friend Eric Ingemunson…

Audra Strickland has a date Friday night, but it looks like she… Read More

DATE: 5/25/10 TO: DEMOCRAT LEADERS IN D.C. AND SACRAMENTO FROM: JON FLEISCHMAN, CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN PARTY RE: KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
