Why I'm Running, Again!
 
  I ran for governor the first time in the recall election of 2003.  I was fed up with our state's politicians then and while another two years has gone by, I still am.  The recall election turned into a circus with the wide array of candidates who entered the race for publicity purposes.  How many of our recall election candidates are running this time?  The filling fee of running for governor is the same in this election as in the recall election. The major difference is that in order to get on the ballot in the general election this time, you must win the primary of your registered party.

I want Californians to have the option of voting for someone that will listen to the people.  I don't believe that our current Governor has done this. (He heard that the people didn't want the special election, but it was more important to him to go on with it.  His poor leadership cost us, the taxpayers, close to $100 million dollars on the "Special Election".  How many bridges, interchanges, or miles of new asphalt could we have had for that money?)

Californians needs a leader who is in touch with the majority of its people, a leader who is a peer on both a social and economic level, and a leader who can explain the reasons for making the decisions they do.  All of our elected politicians should be held accountable and responsible for their actions.  Politics is a field that with every decision you make, someone will disagree with your decision. You have to have thick skin and choose the decision that's best for the people, even if it goes against your own personal opinion. 

California Politics

California politics are still dominated by special interests.  This didn't end with the election of our current Governor, who said he didn't need any special interest money, and that he had plenty of his own. (Please note that he never said that he wouldn't accept special interest money, he just said he didn't need it.)  Gov. Schwarzenegger's fund raising has surpassed that of any previous governor, including Gray Davis.

Californians need to have the opportunity to vote for a candidate who is not trying to buy his way into office.  According to an article in the Sacramento Bee, this year's election for governor has Phil Angelides with $15 million, Steve Westly with $30 million, and Schwarzenegger starting with a deficit of several hundred thousand dollars in their campaign funds. Schwarzenegger had spent his own money in the amount of $4.5 million in the recall election and another $7 million in last year's special election.  In his current bid for office, he is sure to collect millions from campaign donors.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I will not accept special interest money and I will not attempt to buy the position with my own money or anyone else's'.  PERIOD.   The outlandish spending in elections is not getting our citizens the best results. The candidates who spend the most money in an election, does not result in us electing the best candidate. You, the voters, need to decide for yourselves who will best represent you and who will best serve California. 

Republican Politics


In my opinion, the Republican Party needs to change dramatically in order to motivate registered Republican voters to exercise their right to vote.  The voter turnout rate is dismal at best.  Voters have become lethargic about politics, politicians, and voting.  The Republican Party needs to modify its positions in order to serve the majority of registered republicans.  Just as our elected public servants need to listen to the electorate, the Republican Party needs to listen to ALL of its registered voters.  It seems as though the Republican Party only listens to those who are paying to become an "official" member of the party.

In this republican primary election there are a least three candidates filing to run for the office of governor.  The California Republican Party has already endorsed our current governor in February (at the Republican Convention in San Jose) without waiting to see how many Republican s are actually running for office.  The filing period to run for office ends on March 10th.  How can the party leaders determine which candidate will be the best to lead California if they refuse to see who is available and who has qualified to run for the office?  The bottom line is that the California Republican Party leaders only care about winning the election, not providing California with the best candidate to represent the people. This decision to endorse our current governor is not in the best interest of the Republican Party and especially not in the best interest of Californians.

He believes in laws that are based upon scientific fact, logic and common sense.  He does not believe in laws to accomplish political agendas.

If the Republican Party wants to revitalize its voters they are going to have to concede that they lost the war over abortion.  We need to focus more on current issues, not keep fighting the same battle over and over again.  It's been 33 years since the Supreme Court ruling. The South isn't going to rise again and Roe vs. Wade should not be overturned.  We lost, get over it, and move on.  Teach your children and grandchildren values and morals.  It's not the role of government.  We have seen too many elected officials over the years, from different political parties, breaking the law, involved in scandals, and providing political favors.  These are not the type of people I want, making moral decisions for our state or nation.

Our society needs to realize that not everyone agrees on issues.  Not all Republicans agree on political issues, moral issues, or religious issues.  Our party needs to eliminate the stereotype pushed upon us by our adversaries.  Our party is not racist, not just Christian, or not just wealthy individuals.  We have members of all nationalities, faiths, and economic levels.  We as a party need to emphasize this, but most importantly we need to make decisions based upon this.

Before the Republican Party starts to criticize a competing political party or their candidate, we must be able to scrutinize our own party and its candidates.  If we have a member of our party who is currently holding office or running for office that has been involved in a questionable situation, we as a party should be willing to investigate the improprieties and come to a conclusive decision.  If our party finds that one of our own has wronged, we need to be at the top of the list when it comes to condemning their actions.  If we are to be leaders, we need to set the highest standard of ethics and honor.  We need candidates to represent our party that are honorable, truthful, and who demonstrate class.  Some of those in our party have not been up to this standard.  (Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham of San Diego would be just one example within our party.)

Political Pork

Here's the best way for me to explain pork barrel spending by our politicians:
    
Let's take a pig to represent pork barrel project spending.  We'll have the left side of the pig represent Democrats and the right side will represent Republicans.  Now we'll split the pig down the middle from head to tail.  What will we see?  There's just as much pork on the right side as there is on the left side. 

Republicans should not be complaining about anyone else in regards to pork barrel projects when they promote their own.  If it's not good for us when our opponents waste our money, then it's not good when we waste our money!  Taxpayers are always left footing the bill, no matter who's serving the pork.

Who do I think will vote for me?

I think that if all of the registered republican voters were to take the time and educate themselves on my candidacy, the majority would feel that I was the best choice to have their voices heard.  I, nor anyone else, will ever change the minds of those party members who only follow the endorsement of "the Party". The voters who think for themselves, are willing to take the time to research the candidates, and realize that our party needs to change, will be the people who vote for me.  Wearing blinders and not looking beyond the boundaries of your own party will not meet our state and country's best interests. I'm hoping to provide the voters with a positive choice, rather than picking the lesser of two evils. 

Since the majority of registered voters (from all parties) are fed up with our current politicians and they're not exercising their right to vote, I have a better than average chance of winning, only if the media would be willing to acknowledge my candidacy.  Without the assistance of the media via newspapers, television, and radio, a candidate has no chance.  If a candidate is not given a chance, then the voters have no choices. 

How you can help

If you're still reading this and I've been able to keep you interested or motivated so far, you have surpassed the 20 seconds which most so-called experts feel your attention span will last.  I thank you for taking your time.  If you're willing, I need your help by telling others of my candidacy.  Please tell your friends, neighbors, and co-workers about me and my web site.  Write letters to the newspaper editors; call radio and television stations, and e-mail people you know.  This is a grass roots effort to elect a candidate that understands the meaning of being a "public servant".  I won't accept special interest money.  Printed information and election signs will be very minimal if any.  The cost of sending political literature at fifty cents to one dollar per item is cost prohibitive in my campaign with the statewide number of voters in the millions.  Once again, THANK YOU.

Special thanks to my friend and web designer, Scott Ivey who donated his time to this effort.  Check out his home page at:
