You read it here first!
Sam Aanestad is making phone calls to generate support for a run against Doug LaMalfa for Congress.
There is no truer friend to Conservatives in Northern California than Sam Aanestad. Sam supported his mentor, Tom McClintock for Congress when Doug LaMalfa and 100 local electeds chose the establishment Moderate over now Congressman McClintock.
Sam Aanestad was rated the most Conservative Senator in California the year before he retired from the State Senate in 2010.
Doug LaMalfa has serious issues with Conservative grass-roots over his involvement in the Charles Munger-led Republican Party Platform drill for starters. Doug LaMalfa’s staff was involved in the attempt by Charles Munger to eliminate Conservative issues such as Pro-Life, Pro Prop-8 and the Second Amendment from the platform.
Second, the attempted coronation of Doug LaMalfa by retiring Congressman Wally Herger has also riled feathers all over the North State.
I spoke directly with Senator Sam so this news is real.
Contrast this to some of the quotes coming out of incumbent politicians:
“Garamendi does not fit this district,” he said. “This district needs someone who will represent farmers, military and small businesses.”
He’s not shy about where he comes from and how he wants the government to change.
“I am a Reagan Republican and believe in the principles of limited government and self reliance that made our nation great,” he said. “I am pro-life, pro 2nd Amendment and believe that local governments, not the huge fiscally irresponsible bureaucracies of the federal government, are best suited to solve our problems.”
“The federal government needs to do an about face,” he continued. “They need to restore fiscal responsibility. If the government had to earn their money, they would spend it more judiciously.”
Thank you to the Vacaville Reporter for the story.
Two days earlier the Woodland Daily Democrat also gave Charlie some love:
“I believe that we should ‘Restore Congress’ which means we must restore ethics, honesty, fiscal responsibility, common sense, personal accountability, trust and restore the values and principles of our Constitution.”
Schaupp’s family settled in the Hungry Hollow area of Yolo County more than 130 years ago and his family still farms 3,000 acres of various crops north of Esparto.
“For five generations, my family has worked to protect our community’s way of life and our agricultural heritage,” he said. “I also fought to protect our nation’s defense for 28 years in the U.S. Marine Reserve. I am not finished serving my country.”
Ladies and gentlemen – we have a race.
In this installment of the Gaines inspirational leadership series – I explain why us peasants should stand in awe…
Ted Gaines actually did something.
Now that he has a primary opponent, he is writing op-eds in local papers (that non-political types don’t read anymore)…
… about light bulbs.
Billions in the hole. Federal Lands / State Lands being shut off to people. Welfare out of control. Open Borders. Terrorism. Gas Prices. Unemployment. Businesses Fleeing California. Idiots in Sacramento banning common items in the name of (fill in the socialist excuse here)… And the government stupidity over a light bulb ban comes to the front of Senator Ted Gaines’ (Zero-Roseville) mind.
When I read the op-ed – I was astounded as the verbage in it is clearly not that of Ted’s – suggesting that his CPU/Controller wrote it.
Once again the family dynasty leaves the serfs of SD-01 with the same leadership deficit that we have in AD-06.
The solution is summed up in Four Words: Les Baugh Citizen Legislator.
Enter Jerry Brown.
Yawn. Time to pay more taxes, cuz it’s for the children.
California has 13% of America’s Population and 33% of the Welfare Cases. What’s the solution – CUT EDUCATION, CLOSE DOWN PARKS and RELEASE FELONS EARLY. Heaven forbid we cut welfare…
… but I digress.
Enter my Assemblymember, Beth Gaines. Beth was annointed by the Family Dynasty to reign over the serfs of the old AD-04 and now the serfs of AD-06. Her reign has not been filled with much until recently (hey, it’s time to get re-elected, you know???)
Jerry Brown wants to rheem us for another $5Billion!
Enter Beth Gaines : Republican lawmakers were roundly critical. “I was really looking forward to hearing some fresh ideas, some innovative ideas and some real leadership,” said Assemblywoman Beth Gaines, zero-Roseville. “Unfortunately, I didn’t hear that. … Raising taxes is not going to help our economy.”
oooooooh, I just got goosebumps all over…
The voters of AD-06 have been looking for anything, a return phone call, a complete sentence, anything…
The problem for Beth Gaines is that Jerry Brown’s speech was leadership – in the wrong direction, but it is in a direction… out of the broom closet and off a cliff. The Problem for Beth Gaines is that Dale Carnegie courses and John Maxwell books require personal application in order to take effect and a re-election campaign is an impossible venue for such an epiphany.
Please, someone file in AD-06. As we deserve Representation, not Coronation.
In a blow to the Rick Tubbs effort to clear the field – Tim Core has confirmed to friends that he is “In the race to stay”. Core is an assistant manager at a Domino’s Pizza in Yuba City. I’d gather that Mr. Core won’t be on Kristy Tubb’s Christmas list again.
I have a soft-spot for Domino’s Pizza as I used to be able to toss a two-tray in less than 5 minutes and could even bust out a large Pepperoni in 41-45 seconds.
In a further blow to Rick Tubbs – fellow Solano County Resident Eugene Ray announced that he too is running. This puts 7 customers on the ballot for CA-03.
Eugene Ray was covered by the Fairfield Daily Repbulic – despite being denied an opportunity to speak at the Solano GOP Lincoln Day Dinner.
Eugene Ray is a Realitor and some sort of martial arts guru. I’d love to see him get the drop on a mannequin of John Garamendi.
For those of you scoring at home:
Tony Carlos – an open borders advocate from Sutter County
Tim Core – Pizza Guru from Sutter
Kim Vann – Colusa Supervisor annointed by the establishment
Charlie Schaupp – Marine / Farmer from Yolo
Rick Tubbs – AutoMall Sales Rep / Air Force Desk Jockey from Solano
Eugene Ray – Realitor / Martial Artist from Solano
John Garamendi – Socialist from Sacramento County
Counties not represented thus far: Lake, Glenn, Yuba. Don’t worry, there is still time.
