These costly and dangerous legislative proposals that create a safe haven for undocumented felons passed the Senate Monday, and are one step closer to becoming law. Former chairman of California’s state parole board, Senator Jim Nielsen (R-Tehama) issued the following statement: Continue reading→

Social Compassion In Legislation (SCIL), a leading California-based 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization that is dedicated to finding solutions for the welfare, protection, and rights of animals, has sponsored a new bill AB 1199, referred to as the “Police-Canine Encounters Protection Act” authored by California Assemblymember Adrin Nazarian, 46th District.

Tragically, it is estimated that every ninety-eight minutes a dog is shot by law enforcement in the United States. This is a devastating situation for both the family and for the police officer involved. Continue reading→

GOP Caucus Chair: Sanctuary State Proposal Puts Citizens in Harm’s Way

Senate Democrats passed three proposals along partisan lines specifically to designate California a sanctuary state, to bankroll lawyers for individuals who are detained, and to forbid state and local officials from sharing information with federal authorities.

California Democrats Behaving Like Confederates

Jon Coupal, Howard Jarvis TaxPayers Association

For fiscal conservatives and free market advocates, the national elections in 2008 and 2012 brought no small measure of disappointment. In its eight-year run, the Obama Administration imposed a host of new taxes – including several as part of the failed “Affordable Care Act” – and, just as egregious, nearly doubling the national debt from $10 trillion to over $20 trillion.

Those who advocate for lower taxes, property rights and less burdensome regulation understood and begrudgingly accepted that “elections have consequences.” (As President Obama was known to brag). So it is now with amusement – if not outright schadenfreude – we are watching progressives across the nation, and especially here in California, melt down in shock and disbelief. Continue reading→
