Proposition 82 should be defeated

Proposition 82 is a tax the rich, pre-school scheme being promoted by Rob Reiner. The editors at National Review have done a great job looking at the measure and its many flaws. Read it here.

One Assemblyman was worth the money

In 2004, The California Republican Assembly PAC spent over $100,000 supporting Chuck DeVore for Assembly. It is times like these that it is nice to see it paid off. Chuck DeVore will not be in attendance at the address of the President of Mexico. Good for him. His blog describes several of the things that should be said. Read it here. He is right on!

Update here is a story on the boycott.

Clarion Call to Muslim Leaders... Please Denounce Terrorism Now!

I recently read a story about a respected female Iraqui reporter who was abducted by terrorists in Iraq.

She was stripped nude from the waist up. The video that these animals sent also showed that she had been severely beaten as well. You see, to a Woman like her, being exposed is a major insult since Muslim Women are hammered into being modest.

Her captors then slammed her to the ground, while she was bound and screaming for her life, her executionist came and cut her neck half way. Then antoher butcher came and put his foot on her midriffs and pressed several times to make her bleed more severely from the myriad of wounds she had suffered.

Then the first coward came and cut her head the rest of the way off.

Where are the Imams? Where are the leaders of the "Muslim Street"? Nothing at all.

When some nimrod Christians advocated for the execution of Abortion doctors, what did the Christian Church do? We excoriated them and threw them out of our congregations.

What do Muslims do when their parishoners commit heinous acts of barabarism? They stay silent. In my opinon their silence equals their support.

This was the major point of the previous post with those pictures that displayed the hatred many Muslims feel for those of other religions.

Christians get railed on all the time in Pop Culture for being backward and intolerant. (Along with the CRA, by the way) Mean time, those in power ignore the threat that Islam poses to their peril.

To those that read this post that are Muslim, please fight for reform. This is not a 10th Century war against Richard the Lionhearted anymore... This is the modern world where a former Colony (the USA) is the leader of freedom in the world. Freedom will allow you to continue to practice your religion without fear of reprisal... now please tell your fellow Muslims to let the rest of us be.

If your Mosque throws you out because you are trying to espouse reform... there are many other places you can go for spiritual fufillment.

Now is the time for Muslim leaders to come out and denounce hatred and terrorism. Your refusal to stand up makes the case for the US war on terror every successive day you stay silent... think about it.

It's All About The Documents

By Assemblyman Ray Haynes
May 8, 2006

It’s All About The Documents

Everything we do in life is about the documents. We are born, we live, and we die with documents attached to us. So whenever you here someone claim that something is not wrong, it is just “undocumented,” keep that in mind.

For instance, in California, if you practice law without the appropriate documentation twice, you are guilty of a felony. Would it be a defense to that felony charge that you are not a felon, but rather just an undocumented lawyer?

How about the unauthorized practice of medicine? If someone dies, and you don’t have the right medical documents, you are guilty of murder. It is not just the “undocumented” provision of medical services.

Unlicensed contractors? Just undocumented carpenters, bricklayers, engineers, plumbers, and electricians.

We even have documents that establish our ownership of our property. Car thieves are car thieves, not undocumented motor vehicle operators. Trespassers are trespassers, not undocumented easement holders. If you take property from a store without a receipt, you are a thief, not an undocumented possessor of property

Businesses require the right licenses from government. Indeed, if someone starts up a bank and does not get a license from the state and federal government will find that they will go to jail for being an “undocumented” money lender or “undocumented” savings institution. It is not a defense to their crime to say that they don’t “have the right documents.”

One of my favorites came from one of my legislative colleagues this last week, when informed that the Democrats wanted to take last Monday off to participate in the immigration protests. He said he had found former legislators who were qualified to do the job of the California Legislature, were willing to do the work of the current Legislature at half the cost to the taxpayer, and would show up to do the job. Their only problem? They were undocumented, they had not received the right documents from the Secretary of State to vote in the Legislature.

The absurdity of the claims of those who wish to justify the lawlessness of those who break our immigration laws by calling those illegal aliens “undocumented immigrants” is evident. Everything we do in life is about the documents. We get a birth certificate that establishes our citizenship, and a death certificate that establish inheritance rights. Deeds say who owns real estate, and contracts establish legal obligations. If we don’t have registration for our car, we can go to jail as a thief, or, at the very least get a ticket. In fact, we don’t even have laws unless some legislator gets a document passed through the Legislature and signed by the Governor. All of life requires the right “documents.”

The protests of this last week can be encapsulated this way: thousands of criminals wanted the government to ignore their crime. That reality is not changed by saying that they “are human and we need to recognize their humanity.” Of course we recognize their humanity; they just need to follow the law. We will not justify their lawlessness any more that we would justify the lawlessness of a trespasser or thief on the grounds that they “needed” the property they took. Marching in the street, protesting the enforcement of a law does not justify breaking that law. A legal system that rewards lawbreakers is destined to collapse into anarchy. Indeed, those who protested this last week were asking for anarchy; an open border and unlimited immigration. That is dangerous for our country (as 9/11 pointed out), and extremely shortsighted.

Our immigration laws may be complicated, but that does not justify ignoring them. We should enforce those laws, and, if the enforcement proves that the laws are unworkable, then you look at changing the law. But until that happens, the laws should stand, and they should be enforced.

The real day without an illegal immigrant

In LA County here I live things yesterday were great. No traffic. Plenty of stores open. My gym was kind of busy, but not too bad. Congressman Tom Tancredo outlines what a real day without illegals is like. Read it here.

Today's Action Alert SPEND! SPEND! SPEND!

With the Illegal Immigration support marches and boycotts today, what is a loyal American citizen or legal resident to do. Join the radical leftist groups supporting these marches or SPEND! SPEND! SPEND!

I have a busy day to . I'm eating out all three meals. I need gas, an oil change and a car wash. Did I mention dry cleaning? My family is going to the mall tonight. (I need more workout clothes). I put all these off until today because of these extremists that want to show their power on "Day without an Immigrant". By the way the John and Ken show on KFI 640 AM in the Los Angeles Market will have a drawing for people who sent their receipts to them today. You can get more info here.
