Council Votes Down Attempt to Debate Arizona Law
Squashed by a majority of Escondido City Councilmembers, the attempt by liberal member Olga Diaz to debate and denounce Arizona’s immigration law (SB1070) and to rescind Escondido’s current resolution opposing sanctuary status did not get a hearing.
The council voted 3-2 with Diaz and Sam Abed voting no, to oppose the attempt to discuss the issue. This means that our NON-Sanctuary city status still holds.
See Story in today’s San Diego Union Tribune.
Escondido Votes on Sanctuary Status Tonight
North County - Once again the battle ground zero for the local immigration fight will be in Escondido tonight as the council decides if it will continue to support its No-Sanctuary City policy or rescind it, along with opposing the new immigration law in Arizona.
Councilwoman Olga Diaz has asked the council for the two part agenda item because she feels the council owes the community an apology for past hurts and should make amends. She feels that the past history of the council of supporting a rental ban against illegals, looking into day labor issues and supporting a resolution in 2007 written by Councilwoman Marie Waldron to state that Escondido is not a Sanctuary City were hurtful to many in the community.
It Took a Carter to Get a Reagan
There must be a silver lining to this complete power usurpation by the Democrats with the socialist health care takeover. Blatantly ignoring the will of the people, Obama twisted arms and lied his way into convincing his party members to vote his way and virtually alter the United States of America. Stupak literally sold his soul to the devil along with the others based on a promise and an executive order that can be overturned at any whim.
But history shows we had to endure Jimmy Carter’s term and that incompetence in order for us to be ready to support Ronald Reagan, the greatest President of our generation.
If Not Now, When?
Once upon a time, there stood a “Grand Old Party”, the party of Lincoln, the party of Reagan. A political party that stood for principles and values. There once was a party that was not ashamed to say their platform was pro-life, pro-family and good old “America-First” values. Where is this party because I want to join!
Never before in our history have our Constitutional principles and our freedoms, values and American culture and way of life been under attack as it is today. Will we stand firm now to restore our principles and values? If not now, when?
Prayers Do Get Answered!
Lots of prayers from all across the country were answered last night with the victory in Mass. of Scott Brown to the Senate. Prayers that have been lifted for several months during the obamacare debates can now be turned into thanksgiving.
While Brown is not the end-all, be-all of Republicanism, the victory is important and ironic because it was Teddy’s death, leaving the seat that helped put the death-nell on communistic healthcare which was Kennedy’s dream come true.
We don’t know where Brown will fall on all the issues we will face, but this one is a critical point in our nation’s future as a Republic.
Dredging the Bottom for Revenue
The San Miguel Fire District in East County has come up with a new idea to bring in a little more revenue: a fee for being in a car crash! The fee, of between $390 to upwards of $2000 would be charged to folks who do not live in the district. The idea is that people in the district already pay for the district services through their taxes so they would be exempt.
The questions are: How many more hit and runs will be realized in this district because of this fee? What happens to illegal aliens? Are they considered residents of the district or are illegals given a “bye”.
Palin Going to Fox News
See story HERE.
Fox News has announced that the former Alaskan Governor will be doing political commentary for the cable channel.
The increasingly popular Palin, just finishing up her nationwide book tour last month is ready and excited to be taking on a new challenge. Her refreshing conservative message will be an added asset to Fox News.
Fox said “according to the multiyear deal, Palin will offer political commentary and analysis. She also will host occasional episodes of Fox News’ “Real American Stories”, a series featuring true inspirational stories about Americans”.
Sarah Palin has brought a fresh new approach to politics and judging by the positive response and excitement surrounding her, she is going to have an impact on the political scene for the next several years.
Buy American and Save Our Country
Ever wonder what you can do to help save our country? Sure there are alot of things to do and many of us are already doing them. Taking part in Tea Parties, calling/writing our elected representatives, praying for our country and military, voting, teaching our kids about our history, Liberty and Constitutional Rights, etc. But there is one thing we can do every day that would make a big impact.
Buy American.
When you have a choice, spend a couple of extra bucks and buy the “Made in U.S.A.” shovel instead of the China model at Home Depot. It will last longer anyway. Save a few more American jobs and keep the profits home in our country.
ACLU at it Again
Escondido – Attorneys with the ACLU of San Diego, along with the pro-illegal alien activists, El Grupo Sin Nombre (or group without a name) are demanding that Escondido stop holding regular drivers’ license and sobriety checkpoints in the city.
Charging that the checkpoints are in violation of the Attorney General’s report sent in March and state law by stopping drivers and asking them to produce a license, the demand, sent to city officials yesterday urge the city to stop holding the checkpoints.
Socialism Run Amok
Somehow I knew this day was coming. The slippery slope toward socialism started many decades ago, but now the pace is blatant, out-in-the-open and rapidly going into a downward spiral.
The dems are running amok and our laws are openly violated and there is no political will to enforce them. A lone voice cries, “What about the Constitution?” and the answer comes as a cynical, knowing laugh combined with the retort that the Founders are out of touch with today’s advanced society. The same, they say, with the Bible. A nation without principles heading rapidly toward its demise.
It is a Holy War Whether You Like It or Not
It only took a little over 10 months for us to be attacked on American soil under the Obama administration. For all the arguments that can be made against President Bush, at least he kept us safe at home during the eight years after 9/11.
If it can happen in the center of Ft. Hood, a U.S. military base with soldiers all around, it can happen anywhere at anytime.
Extremist Islamics are gleeful at how tolerant and stupid our government is, especially when warning signs were evident.
Governor Signs Ammo Restrictions Bill
Now flip-flopping all over the place from last year’s stance, the Governor today has signed AB962, the bill that requires buyers of handgun ammunition to leave thumbprints and detailed personal information with registered ammo sellers, as well as put restrictions on online bullet sales. It prevents California residents from ordering ammo on-line from out of state and having it delivered to them.
Taking effect Feb. 1, 2011, the bill authored by Assemblyman Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, requires any ammo they buy would need to be picked up at a licensed handgun ammunition dealer, similar to the way guns are currently bought and sold, but without the waiting period. However, purchasers must supply a photo ID and a thumbprint. This info must be kept on file and supplied to law enforcement when asked.
Celebrate Constitution Day Today!
On September 17, 1787 our Founding Fathers ratified the Constitution of our great nation. On the 222nd anniversary of this event, what have we become as a country? The Constitution and its Amendments were created by a freedom loving group of people who had fought the hard fight and won. They fully understood what it was like to live under tyranny and established a form of government that protected the individual’s God-given rights from the potential oppressiveness of government. This new system was only to be successful if we were a nation of people who believed in personal responsibility, morality, private property ownership and limited government.
9/11 – A Call to Action
Remember how our country united after the 9/11 attacks? Everyone’s individual recollection of that day is still vivid in our mind’s eye. Now, eight years later we the people are fighting another attack – on our liberty. Our spirit and our resolve as one nation that we espoused after the terrorists downed the Trade Center and hit the Pentagon must continue for our nation to survive these attacks at our very core.
2nd Amendment in Escondido
North County – The San Diego Union Tribune covered the recent Open Carry event in Escondido and not all city councilmembers were happy about it. The group of law abiding citizens who stand for the 2nd Amendment and the right of individuals to carry firearms gathered in Escondido to express their 1st Amendment rights about the 2nd Amendment.
