Norma Torres Misguided on Law and Order

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin has wrote an opinion column about one of Norma’s latest bills and it does not look flattering.
Local Assemblywoman Norma Torres has introduced a bill to deny journalists – and hence, the public – crime information that is now public and, in our opinion, vital to California residents.
In fact, loss [...]

Who Are They?

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Looking at the candidate filing status reports from the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters makes me puzzled at some of the people who put their hat in the ring for the June Primary.  Who are these individuals?
For one, I am glad Supervisor Ovitt has a challenger. However it took me a bit of detective [...]

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

From the State Senator:
District Office Consolidation
Dear Neighbor,
In a cost cutting measure to save precious State budget dollars, effective March 1, 2010 the San Bernardino District Office for Senator Gloria Negrete McLeod will be closed and its operations merged with the District Office in Montclair.
Although we will be consolidated in Montclair, please be assured that my [...]

How to Solve the Wal-Mart Debate in Ontario, California

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

I would like to come up with solutions to solve the Wal-Mart versus residents’ fight that is happening in North Western Ontario. It may not be the Israelis versus the Palestinians but it surely feels that way.
One, it is going to take sacrifices from both sides. Wal-Mart may have to give up the idea [...]

Recovery Without Loss of Freedom

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

I hear you Senator Dutton, California does need to put jobs first. However there is something the Republican Party establishment needs to do first before voters in California consider the party seriously. Republicans may have the solutions to bring back California’s economy back to life, but voters will find out there is a cost for [...]

5 Dollars Goes a Long Way

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

I made another political contribution tonight. I helped Paul Schrader pay a portion of their filing fee for San Bernardino County Sheriff. It may only be 0.2% of the filing fee, but he only needs like $1200 now out of $2000 and he would appreciate your support so he could get on the ballot so [...]

Big Government With Assemblywoman Torres

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

 
Unlike this video that I linked from the IT CROWD, in America the emergency number is still 911. Assemblywoman Torres thinks her constituents are stupid where they do not know how to dial 911. 911 is simple no matter if you speak English, Spanish or Chinese. If the emergency services were changed to 0118 999 [...]

2010 A New Direction

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Over at Pam’s House Blend they are discussing how 2010 may be fatal for the LGBT community and their fellow progressive allies because the Republican Party is most likely going to get the majority in both houses of congress. It is understandable that there is some fear in the possibility that President Obama miscalculated his [...]

We Deserve Better

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Ontario residents deserve better. We do deserve representatives that do not have the perception of being bought by outside interests such as Councilman Wapner, just because we do not have the thousands of dollars to stuff in their campaign accounts does not mean that we should be ignored.
Our city does deserve growth and opportunity, [...]
