What Will They Think of Next

A new way to donate        

Let’s face it. I don’t like asking you for money and you probably don’t either. But California is a big state and we need to stop the tax and spend policies of Barbara Boxer and her liberal colleagues in Washington.  Unlike DC insiders, I have always supported transparency, which is why I’m introducing a new way to donate to our cause!    Read more »

A Travelogue And Fundraising Appeal from Chuck DeVore

Subject: How 3 dollars can save Chuck’s life

Just after the historic election of President Barack Obama, when hopes for advancing conservative principles appeared at their lowest point since the election of FDR in 1932, I decided to declare my candidacy for the U.S. Senate in 2010.  Since that day in mid-November, I have traveled the length and breadth of California, making 96 campaign stops, seeing 16,000 people, traveling some 13,000 miles, and gaining the support of more than 7,000 contributors.      Read more »

Tom Campbell — End of the Fiscal Year Fundraising Solicitation

Dear Friend,

 California is in the most serious economic trouble since the 1930’s. But we can turn it around. I’m doing all I can, by running for Governor. And we can win.

 Several well known columnists have said I’m the best qualified of the Republican candidates to be Governor. I’ve given more than fifty speeches, dozens of interviews on radio and television, and conducted tele-town hall meetings in which thousands have participated.    Read more »

A Different June 15 Budget Deadline

Normally, June 15 is the day that the Legislature routinely fails to send a budget to the governor by its constitutional deadline.

This year, the Legislature beat its June 15 deadline by the better part of four months, handing the governor a budget in February for the fiscal year beginning July 1.    Read more »

Could Be A New Speed Record

No cobwebs on newly elected Senate Republican Leader Dennis Hollingsworth of Murrieta. Elected to the post late February 17 or early February 18, the invitation below was e-mailed to lobbyists before 3 pm. 

However by 4:40 pm, Hollingsworth determined that there might be a teensy bit of bad press from his first official act being to hold a $1,000-a-person fundraiser and postponed the event.    Read more »

Business Cutback on Contributions

The balance of power in the Legislature isn’t going to be affected much by the recent decision of the California Retailers Association to halt campaign contributions because of the recession. 

Nor will the go-slow, keep-a-wary-eye-on-the-cash-register mode adopted by the California Chamber of Commerce, which worries the recession could sharply reduce the contributions it receives from its 17,00 members many of whom are mom-and-pop businesses.     Read more »
