Huey Poised to Crush Hahn in CA CD36 Due to Hahn Disclosure?

Posted on by

Three years ago, she abruptly ended an interview with LA’s Fox 11 when they were getting too close to the truth.  A few days ago, Ms. Hahn tried a cease & desist order to try to quash this story.  This 8 minutes of video from Fox 11 is well worth your time today, as it clearly documents just how much Ms. Hahn’s gang intervention program gave millions to active, unrepentant gang members and protected them from law enforcement.

If the race for the CD36 congressional seat was heated before, it’s white hot now.  Pundits and party officials nationwide are watching this race with much more than just ‘great interest.’  This race has been in a dead heat and will be the bellwether for the CA GOP going into the 2012 elections.

Please donate or use the Huey Online Call Center to reach voters in CD36 now!  To use the Huey Online Call Center, just go to Huey’s web site and click ‘Make Calls Now for Craig’ in the  upper right.

Operation Fast and Furious (Gov. gun runners) case heats up

When the “fall guy” won’t “fall”: Melson will testify before Senate “Fast and Furious” Committee

 

By Doug Book, staff writer

Barack Obama has spent a political lifetime profiting from underhanded deals made with one or another fellow incarnation of the devil.

So in 2009, when Obama appointed Ken Melson to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, he once again did what arrogant, would-be dictators do…he made a criminally irresponsible deal with a fellow egotist and power hungry usurper.

Melson had spent 12 years as a director of the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board, lecturing throughout the nation on the wisdom of giving his organization absolute authority over procedural, ethical and certification requirements governing forensic labs in the United States.

Budget Tricks, Tax Increases and Fiscal Dishonesty Mark New Budget

LaMalfa votes to oppose all new tax increases

Senator Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) voted against numerous tax increase proposals before the State Senate today.  Despite bipartisan opposition the majority Democrats passed tax increases while violating Proposition 26 and Proposition 13.

LaMalfa issued the following statement regarding today’s budget votes:

“Another sham budget was foisted upon the people of California, this time by a simple majority vote,” said Senator LaMalfa. “Make no mistake, this budget increases taxes without a vote of the people, increases spending beyond our income and plays games to fake being balanced.  Yet with all of these taxes, the majority refused to fund public safety – which should be the first priority of any government.

“Despite bipartisan opposition, the majority passed taxes on those living in rural California, internet taxes, car taxes and sales taxes. It appears that the Democrat majority has simply ignored California’s voters, who just months ago passed a requirement that all new taxes and fees be passed with a two-thirds vote.

“This budget is not balanced, fails to reflect the spending priorities of the people of the California and amounts to a political ploy to pander to special interests. By intentionally de-funding public safety, the majority hopes to pressure the rest of the legislature into supporting further tax increases. California has unexpectedly brought in over $3.7 billion in the last two months and expects a total of $7.4 billion above estimates for the fiscal year. We can have an honest, balanced budget that funds California’s priorities, but this is not that budget.

Issa to introduce‘Revolutionary’ Bill to Make All Federal Spending Transparent

Posted on by

Today Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) will introduce a new government openness bill that could revolutionize the way Washington operates and force a new level of federal transparency. If implemented, with a single click of a mouse citizens will be able to access traceable, digital information about how their tax dollars are being spent.

Issa, who is the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, is expected today to introduce the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act, or DATA Act. In short, he is seeking to force the government to open up its accounting books to the public. The modernization effort is an unprecedented and ambitious effort.

The new legislation will force the federal government to modernize its digital operations and finally reveal to the public through a single electronic platform its internal spending and external grants, contracts, and loans. It could empower citizens and government watchdog groups to challenge federal spending on wasteful or worthless programs.

Federal spending has always been a mystery to the public and even to Congress. Washington spending is at an all-time high. The Obama administration’s current spending level is a $3.18 trillion for the 2011 fiscal year.

Brown, Honesty & His 27% Spending Increase

Posted on by

By Tom Del Beccaro

Chairman of the California Republican Party
Mon, June 13th, 2011

As the budget deadline bears down on Jerry Brown, he obviously has no intention of being truthful with Californians. In his latest masking of reality, Brown says: “We have a plan, and it’s a very good plan,” Brown said. “It will put California’s finances on a firm footing for many, many years to come.” In truth, Brown plan includes a 27% increase in spending purportedly financed by $58 billion in new taxes over 5 years. That’s not economic firm footing – it’s more like financial quicksand.

Nick Popaditch, Still Making the Case Against Bob Filner

June 9, 2011 1:49 P.M.
By Jim Geraghty

Tags: Bob Filner, Nick Popaditch

 

There still no word on whether Nick Popaditch wants to make another run for Congress in California’s 51st district, now that the nine-term Democratic incumbent, Bob Filner, has announced plans to run for mayor of San Diego.

However, those close to Popaditch are calling attention to these two new videos, detailing what they describe as “Filner smears against Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans.” They point out that Filner’s description of returning veterans wildly overstated their likelihood to be involved with homicides and suicides, a bit of demagoguery that really stuck in Popaditch’s craw.

This is a longer video about Popaditch, and his experiences with Filner’s negative ads, which were demonstrably false, and Filner’s arguments in the spring of this year that he was a victim comparable to Gabby Giffords.

The fact that Popaditch’s allies are still spreading his message and putting out videos like these suggests that perhaps Popaditch’s interest in political office has not waned.
