I’m a Patriot not a Politician. At 19 when I came to California with $300 in my pocket, California was the land of opportunity. The only limitation on your dreams was what you could imagine and how hard you were willing to work. Within a decade I married an amazing California girl, a widow with two young boys; together we raised 5 sons and started a successful manufacturing business. I served the community by conducting a Bible study and life skills course in a prison camp for 8 years. I was living the California dream until oppressive regulations drove my customers out of the state and regulated me out of business. An ever-increasing government has become the greatest threat to our future. I want my state back; I want my freedom back. I want a government that will control itself rather than try to control me. Here is the recipe for restoring opportunity for all Californians. As Governor, I will: Veto all new restrictions on your business, your freedom, and your constitutional civil rights. Never submit a budget that spends more than we take in. Treat jobs like we treat endangered species—protect them by any means necessary. Fight to lower tax rates for all hard-working Californians. End early prisoner release and protect the public from violent predators. Reform education by putting our kids first. When government increases, liberty contracts. When government grows, opportunity shrinks. Take a stand for California! Let’s bring pride back to the state we love.

ANDREW BLOUNT Republican 25473 Nellie Gail Road (949) 342-6398 Laguna Hills, CA 92653 andrew@andrewblount.com www.andrewblount.com
I love California! Twenty years ago I moved to California with $17 and hope for a better life. California offered me the freedom to build a software business, raise a family, and serve as Mayor of the City of Laguna Hills. Each year, my wife Michelle and I put on the Blount Family Christmas Lights Show and tour thousands through our home, sharing stories of families, dreams, lives, and struggles. From agriculture to technology, much of what America holds dear begins here. California is different than other states. We dream it bigger, we grow it bigger, and we build it bigger. What I ask from you is no less. In that spirit, I have taken a different path . . . a Californian path. Throughout this election, I have not asked for your hard earned money, but only for your vote to elect me Governor. California is not for sale and neither is this election. If you believe that your income should grow faster than your expenses, then vote for me. If you believe that schools should teach employable skills, then vote for me. If you believe that college is too expensive, then vote for me. If you believe that all hard working women and men should have an equal opportunity to provide for their families and save enough for retirement, then vote for me. Be excited! All Californians have what it takes to realize the greatness inherent in each of us. Let’s make prosperity today’s reality. www.andrewblount.com.

The winner, for Att'y. Gen.:

ORLY TAITZ No Party Preference 29839 Santa Margarita, Ste. 100 (949) 683-5411 Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688 orly.taitz@hushmail.com runorlyrun.com
Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. is both a licensed attorney and a licensed doctor in CA, a businesswoman, a wife of 27 years, and a mother of 3 sons. Taitz is seeking to uphold constitutional and civil rights of Californians. As an AG, Taitz will do the following: nullification of unconstitutional NSA spying on law abiding citizens of CA; nullification of use by NSA of Google, Facebook, Yahoo, and others as a tool in unconstitutional data gathering on citizens of CA, as well as candidates for office, elected officials, and judges; nullification of an unconstitutional discriminatory Obamacare tax levied on some of the citizens of CA and waived for corporations; homeowner and creditor assistance from recovered mortgage proceeds instead of funneling funds to cronies, targeted extortion, and shake downs; nullification of EPA mandates which destroy businesses and agriculture in CA and deprive the state of water badly needed for farming; nullification in CA provisions of trade agreements, such as TPP, TAFTA, NAFTA, WTO-GATT, which deprive citizens of work and environmental protection, as well as jobs, wages, and benefits; nullification of NDAA provisions which allow indefinite incarceration without trial; nullification of unfunded federal mandates which bankrupt businesses and state; end elections fraud; remove invalid voter registrations from databases; seek legitimacy of candidates; prosecute state officials who ignored all evidence brought by law enforcement and experts, showing Obama to possess citizenship of Indonesia, fabricated Selective Service certificate, fabricated birth certificate and a CT Social Security number, which failed both E-verify and SSNVS.

Mme. Dr. Taitz, Esq. seems more interested in "nullifying" laws than enforcing the laws California already has on the books.

Candidate Donnelly can be fairly judged to be an absolute asshole, besides being non compos mentis.

On Monday and Tuesday, Donnelly said Kashkari condoned the strictures of sharia law because he once participated in a U.S. Treasury conference about Islamic finance.

Kashkari, a former Treasury official, called the attack "absurd on its face."

"To accuse me of trying to promote sharia law in America is absurd, literally the exact opposite of the purpose of the conference, which was to show how American free-market principles could be brought into Islamic countries," he said.

"Once again, it demonstrates he doesn't understand the most basic elements of what he's talking about," he said.

[...]

Some Republicans said Donnelly's comments have clear racial overtones — Kashkari is Hindu and of Indian descent.

"I'd say it was a thinly veiled racist attack, but the fact is, it's more than that," Eli Rubenstein, a GOP activist from San Diego and a Kashkari supporter, wrote to Donnelly's campaign.

"Anybody with brains knows that you're using the fact that Neel has darker skin and a name that sounds like it could be middle-eastern to scare uninformed voters and rally your base," the letter said. "I'm a proud Republican, and if you're the nominee, I will be enthusiastically supporting [Democratic Gov.] Jerry Brown for re-election."

[...]

The Facebook statements were the latest in a series of controversies involving Donnelly.

He made headlines Monday by casting the lone Assembly vote against a bill that would bar the sale of the Confederate flag on state property. He has flouted California's gun laws and compared President Obama's gun policies to Adolf Hitler's.

He recently stood by a speech he gave years ago as a Minuteman, calling illegal immigration an insurgency that should be rooted out of big cities.

The dust-ups have prompted some who once supported him to reconsider.

Aaron Park, a conservative activist, donated to Donnelly's campaign but is now backing Kashkari.

"It was a steady drip, and it was one after another, and it demonstrated a pattern," he said.

Park said he understood Donnelly's free-speech rationale for the vote on the Confederate flag, but it was poor strategy. "The problem is you've got a gigantic spotlight on you…. What are you thinking?"

Park said he agreed ideologically with Donnelly but feared the candidate was making too many mistakes.

"Donnelly is my guy on the issues," he said, but "… Neel Kashkari is going to be the best candidate for the long-term health of the California Republican Party."

The Alameda County GOP denounced Donnelly's remarks as racist. But many other conservatives, whose support has made Donnelly the front-runner among GOP candidates, stood by him.

"We're just getting the mud-slinging back and forth, and that's all it is," said Randall Jordan, co-founder of the Tea Party California Caucus.

Veteran conservative activist Mike Spence added that remaining in the headlines aids Donnelly , while Kashkari is unknown in Republican circles aside from having liberal social views and having administered the unpopular federal bank bailout.

"I think the controversies actually help [Donnelly] with conservatives," Spence said. "They clearly identify what he's willing to stand up for. You know what Tim Donnelly stands for. You can't say that about the other candidate running for governor."

Oh, we know what he stands for alright. Fear & hatred. It may not be too late: Let's round up every goatee-sporting idiot in this country.
