Thank you, Tom Del Beccaro, for being a true leader of our California Republican Party…. with a winning attitude. 

Senators Strickland, Emmerson and Walters are strongly leaning to vote “yes” for NPV now, when just three years ago, they all three voted “no” for NPV, SB 37.   It would be better for Republicans and Conservatives to have a split of Electoral College votes by Congressional Districts, than to have NPV.  Why are our leaders not pushing again and again and again for Electoral College Split by Congressional Districts?  Why just cave and then vote with the progressive liberal Democrat establishment that really wants NPV?

The NPV is not a very good idea for Conservatives or Republicans because as Assemblyman Jefferies who was a Co-Sponsor of AB 459 and voted NO put it,  

 >Failure in California to require voter
> identification at polling locations has been a growing problem. With
> the NPV in place for California and the nation – the integrity of our
> voting system could be put at further risk as unethical organizations
> carry out local, regional, statewide and national efforts to manipulate
> and undermine our wide-open / no-questions-asked polling locations.

Why are these three Senators standing with the progressive liberal lefties who are responsible for the voter fraud that is happening right now in California? We have all heard the stories of fraud from San Diego and Acorn. The thought of yet more fraud from the Unions and the progressive left here in California with the passing of AB 459 to win the presidency is making me want to PUKE. Conservatives and Republicans don’t cheat at the Ballot Box, so then why make it easier for the Left?

The Senators need to listen to Assemblyman Nestande, Co-Author of this bill, who had the courage to abstain from the vote, Co-Sponsor Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries who voted NO on AB 459 after being contacted by you, Shawn Steele, our RNC Committeeman, and with the Chairman of the California Republican Party, Tom Del Beccaro, the California Federation of Republican Women, the California Republican Assembly, John Fleishman of the Flash Report,  and Elise Richmond of the Elise Richmond Show, Conservatively Speaking, and many, many more that AB 459 will devastate our State and the United States of America.

With what all of us have said, why would Senators Strickland, Emmerson, and Walters want to vote ‘yes’?  I sincerely hope that these Senators will listen to your calls and emails and vote NO on AB 459. Why else did we elect them but listen and vote how we want them to!

 It would be better for Republicans and Conservatives to have a split of Electoral College votes by Congressional Districts, than to have NPV. Why are our leaders not pushing again and again and again for Electoral College Split by Congressional Districts? Ask them to stand for the Electoral College to be split by Congressional Districts to get away from “Winner take all” or NPV…

Please take action NOW!!!  Because of our past actions, Co- sponsors Assemblyman Nestande abstained from voting and Assemblyman Jefferies voted NO for AB 459.

Here are their numbers and their email addresses of the Co-sponsors of AB 459 in the Senate: 

Let them hear our voices loud and clear and thank you for making a difference!  

To give you some facts about LA County

2,286,987 demos in LA County 2010                1,049,383 Republicans in LA County 2010

1,455,184    64% votes for Moonbeam                      749,439  71%  votes for Meg

The Republicans turned out votes for Meg compared to Registration better than the demos turned out votes for Moonbeam and did Meg win LA County?

2,226,641 demos in LA County   2008                  1,034,213   Republicans in LA County  2008

2,295,853       votes for Obama                               956,425     votes for McCain  

Do you think Republicans have a chance of winning in LA County or in California with all the fraud?

Thank you so much for all that you do and all together we do make a difference.

Past Chairman of the Riverside County Republican Party

THIS is how proponents of the National Popular Vote are handling the debate:

Subject: “Past Chairman” of the Republican Party of Riverside County?

“Bob:  About 100 of us would like to know when your term as “past chairman of the
Republican Party of Riverside County” ends. I’m sure we will all be as happy to see that term end as we all were to see your 11 month long term as Chairman of the Republican Party of Riverside County end.Bottom line, we would really just like to see you stop embarrassing
yourself and the Party with these inane emails.  

Also, is your most recent barrage of emails attacking other Republicans the official position of the Steve Sanchez “campaign”? Your arguing with Jim Brulte about politics is like a third grader arguing with Einstein about physics.

Thanks.”

National Popular Vote Bill Is Wrong For California & Even Worse for Republicans | Political Vanguard

Help Stop this Insane Movement to abolish the Electoral College!

Tom Del Beccaro, Political Vanguard

First, in an era of growing awareness of the need to respect the Constitution, support for an unprecedented end run around the Constitutional amendment process could not be more untimely let alone “extra-constitutional” — if not out-right unconstitutional.  If such a core Constitutional process as the Electoral College can be averted by this scheme, what would be next and where would it end?  I have no desire to know the answer to those questions.

Second, there was a reason why our Founders did not want a popular vote system.  I remain persuaded by their arguments that have withstood the test of time over those pushing for the effective repeal of the Electoral College today.

Third, the map above should persuade everyone that this effort will result in an even more divided America.  The Democrats will concentrate on certain states and the blue tower areas – especially Los Angeles – and Republicans will concentrate on the red areas.  The further balkanization of America is a bad idea and one major reason the Electoral College exists.  Our Founders wanted to give Delaware a chance against Virginia.  So they gave Delaware a greater voice in choosing the Presidency than just the popular vote.  As such, they wouldn’t want California, Illinois, and New York to dominate our process even more than they already do.

Fourth, in no uncertain terms, that means that Republicans within the LA media market will have a much harder time getting elected.  Seductive claims of more Republican money aside, the bottom line is that Democrats will run more ads in the Los Angeles area to run up their vote totals and that will harm the chances of any Republicans within range of that media market.  Given the pending redistricting, Republicans cannot possibly benefit from more Democrat money in that area.

In sum, this is a bad bill that runs contrary to the very fabric of our Constitution.  The Founders reached a better solution.  I am sticking with that and I more than hope that every State legislature in America does the same.

I urge you to contact your state representative and urge them to vote against this bill.

TAKE ACTION!  CALL THE STATE CONTROLLER’S office and tell them to AUDIT the Palm Springs Redevelopment Agency!   State Controller’s office: 916-445-2636

AND CALL EACH INDIVIDUAL Palm Springs City Council member and TELL THEM to VOTE NO on 5E and 5F!!!  We don’t want to see anyone with their pants on fire! (Liar Liar!)
