Plan B--put in a bid with the County of Orange

At our City Council meeting  on Tuesday we will meet in Closed Session first to discuss an MOU with the County of Orange to join together to put in a bid for the Orange County Fairgrounds.  Katrina took this picture on Monday when we were in Sacramento asking State officials to stop the sale.

Please call the Governor to Stop the Sale

Now is the time to call the Governor's office and to ask him to please halt the sale of the Orange County Fairgrounds if you haven't already done so. We are thankful for Assemblyman Solorio's bill AB1950. Call your Assembly person and ask them to support it too. The Governor's phone number is 916-445-2841. Thanks

There is power in unifying on the moral issues. We are burdened everyday with one new idea to make abortion
more accessible. Why don't we talk about adoption? Abstinence? We never hear those words when the health

OC Fair Update

Yesterday's meeting in our Council Chambers was insightful for many reasons. One, the Fair Board/Non profit foundation members left after the presentations. I stayed until the end because I wanted to listen to all of the Costa Mesa residents and other stakeholders speak to Assemblymen Tran and Solario. I am glad so many people turned out and spoke their minds.  As an elected official I hope everything that happens moving forward is transparent.  The City controls the zoning and I am doing all I can to  keep the Fair the Fair. Stay tuned.
Please call or email the Governor to respectfully ask him to remove the Fairgrounds from the list of state owned properties for sale.

Ilegal Aliens Using Boats In South County

CA Political News show

The Pelosi Bill Was Rammed Through on Saturday, But Sunday’s Coming

From Bonnie---re:  Sarah----Sat at 10:34pm
We’ve got to hold on to hope, and we’ve got to fight hard because Congressional action tonight just put America on a path toward an unrecognizable country.
The same government leaders that got us into the mortgage business and the car business are now getting us into the health care business.
Despite Americans’ decisive message last Tuesday that they reject the troubling path this country has been taking, Speaker Pelosi has broken her own promises of transparency to ram a health “care” bill through the House of Representatives just before midnight. Why did she push the 2,000 page bill this weekend? Was she perhaps afraid to give her peers and the constituents for whom she works the chance to actually read this monstrous bill carefully, if at all? Was she concerned that Americans might really digest the details of a bill that the Wall Street Journal has called “the worst piece of post-New Deal legislation ever introduced”?
This out-of-control bureaucratic mess will be disastrous for our economy, our small businesses, and our personal liberty. It will slam businesses at a time when we are at double-digit unemployment rates – the highest we’ve seen in a quarter of a century. This massive new bureaucracy will cost us and our children money we don’t have. It will rob Americans of more of our freedom and further hamper the free market.
Make no mistake: we’re on course to have government commandeer one-sixth of our economy. The people who gave us Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac now want to run our health care. Think about that.

All of us who value the sanctity of life are grateful for the success of the pro-life majority in the House this evening in its battle against federal funding of abortion in this bill, but it’s ironic because we were promised that abortion wasn’t covered in the bill to begin with. Our healthy distrust of these government leaders made us look deeper into the bill because unfortunately we knew better than to trust what they were saying. The victory tonight to amend the bill and eliminate that federal funding for abortion was great – because abortion is not health care. Now we can only hope that Rep. Stupak’s amendment will hold in the final bill, though the Democratic leadership has already refused to promise that it won’t be scrapped later.
We had been told there were no “death panels” in the bill either. But look closely at the provision mandating bureaucratic panels that will be calling the shots regarding who will receive government health care.

Look closely at provisions addressing illegal aliens’ health care coverage too.
Those of us who love freedom and believe in open and transparent government can only be dismayed by midnight action on a Saturday. Speaker Pelosi’s promise that Americans would have 72 hours to read the final bill before the vote was just another one of the D.C. establishment’s too-common political ploys. It’s broken promises like this that turn people off to politics and leave them disillusioned about the future of their country.

But despite this late-night maneuvering, many of us were paying close attention tonight. We’ll keep paying close attention. We need to let our legislators in Washington know that they still represent us, and that the majority of Americans are not in favor of the “reform” they are pushing. After all, this is still a country “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” We will make our voices heard. It’s on to the Senate now. Our legislators can listen now, or they can hear us in 2010. It’s their choice.

- Sarah Palin

From ACT for America-----(Jennifer Hammond of Irvine)
Honorable Governor Shwarzenegger, Senator Feinstein, Senator Campbell, Senator Walters, Assemblymember DeVore, neighboring Senators and Assemblymembers in Orange County, Orange County Supervisors, Irvine Councilmembers, and my other local representatives,

As your constituent and neighbor, I am writing to urge your participation in this groundbreaking conference below!
In the last seven months -- since President Obama became president -- we have arrested 46 homegrown terrorists on American soil plotting to kill Americans. All of these terrorist are radical Muslims
The Detroit leader of a nationwide fundamentalist Islamic group was fatally shot during a series of FBI raids Wednesday afternoon. The FBI arrested 10 people who have ties to the group called the Ummah, which translates to ?the brotherhood.? The group?s primary mission is to establish a separate sovereign Islamic state governed by Sunni law, according to FBI charging documents.
I do not believe that these incidents are unrelated. There is a deep underlying threat that Americans must begin to understand?especially you our elected officials with a sworn responsibility to defend our nation. I urge you to become more expert on this most critical issue of national securit


(CERTAINLY no one is asking you to distrust all Muslims. I have friends who are Muslims. Your constituents simply want you to become more fully aware of the threat posed by the growing number of the many radicalized Islamists living on U.S. soil, converting in our prisons, and arriving daily on our shores.)

Will you PLEASE take the time to participate in this event?
With kind and humble regards,

Jennifer Hammond, Irvine, CA

Darwin teaching 'divides opinion'

Darwin teaching 'divides opinion'

Michelle Malkin

Michelle Malkin: "And from Gallup:
Conservatives continue to outnumber moderates and liberals in the American populace in 2009, confirming a finding that Gallup first noted in June. Forty percent of Americans describe their political views as conservative, 36% as moderate, and 20% as liberal. This marks a shift from 2005 through 2008, when moderates were tied with conservatives as the most prevalent group."

Love those California legislators!
Wanted (Needed):PART-TIME LEGISLATURE

Nothing else needs to be said. This picture speaks for itself. These people are paid by our tax money to represent us.


House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, pictured standing, far right, speaks while colleagues,Rep. Barbara Lambert, D-Milford and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play solitaire Monday night as the House convened to vote on a new budget. (AP)The guy sitting in the row in front of these two... he's on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.These are the folks that can't get the budget out by Oct. 1, Seriously!!!
So, we got a 30- day budget extension. Well, guess what, 30 days from now we will be in the same boat. And these yo-yo’s will still be playing SOLITAIRE!!!If we had an honest mainstream media, this is a picture that would appear on the front page of the San Jose Mercury (above the fold). It does appear that the so-called mainstream media journalists of today attended all of their political science classes, but skipped out on their classes in journalism.

America-Wake Up!

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson 1816

We had one the best Costa Mesa Republican Assembly meetings we have ever had. Joseph Andrews from the Center for Teaching the Constitution reminded us of the principles in our founding documents. Another speaker told us about the UN Agenda 21 and Dr. Orly Taitz, esq. informed us about the court case challenging Obama's right to be president because he is not a "natural born" citizen of American parents required by the Constitution.

Truly these are challenging times. I am posting their websites to the right.

CA Political News Welcome to CA Political News

YOU can make a difference!

We are getting overwhelmed with the news each day as we see the America we love nearly disappear before our eyes. But we are not helpless or hopeless.We can make phone calls to Washington and Sacramento. There are other things we can do and now is the time to do them!I passed by the liquor store in my old neighborhood last night and remembered it was there my political career in Costa Mesa began about 30 years ago. Sometimes I would send my kids over to the store for a quart of milk and I definitely did not want them perusing the adult magazines as they waited to pay for it. So I decided, with much trepidation, that I would approach the owner about covering up the adult magazines. At first, he wasn't agreeable, but eventually he put a piece of wood to cover about 2/3 of the magazines. Later, another mom and I collected signatures at the post office and asked the city attorney to help write a new city law requiring the magazines in the newstands to be covered the same way. The Council passed it.I served on the city Cable TV committee and then paid my dues on the Newport Mesa School Board for 8 years and served on the Parks and Recreation Commission for 4 years. I was elected to the Costa Mesa City Council in November 2006. I serve as Mayor Pro Tem now.Hopefully you will check in often and comment too!Think about a project you can undertake in your city to make it safer. Go to the City Council and School Board meetings and speak up! If not now, when? If not you, then who? Wendy

Jason Chaffetz

Jason was elected in 2008 on a 37-point margin to represent Utah's Third Congressional District. He built a grassroots campaign rooted in principle. He unseated a 12 yr incumbent by a 20-point margin and did so with NO PAID staff, no polling, no free meals forpotential voters NO CAMPAIGN office and a refusal to go into debt to finance the campaign. His message resonated with voters. (from the CPAC program) http://www.jasonforcongress.com/

From Pravda




Checked out on Snopes...unfortunately, true!



The irony of this article appearing in the English edition of Pravda (Russian State Newspaper) defies description. American capitalism gone with a whimper
American capitalism gone with a whimper It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists. Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters. First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather than the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a Burger King burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blinds the foolish. Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top Protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America . The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America 's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more than another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Weimar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe . These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them? These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more than a whimper to their masters. Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motors) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions. So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantor of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK 's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride. Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper. So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democrat controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulations that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Frank, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive. The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left. The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker. Stanislav Mishin© 1999-2009. «PRAVDA.Ru». When reproducing our materials in whole or in part, hyperlink to PRAVDA.Ru should be made.
