From radio host Rick Amato… Greetings, Friends! As I wrote in the previous issue of AMATO FOR LIBERTY, remarkably organizer(s) of the ‘Occupy San Diego’ protest have extended an invitation for Yours Truly to speak at their rally. They did so after taking exception to an article written here titled Goofballs and Misfits which featured a video interview with a …

The meeting focused on California’s economy, what Los Angeles-area leaders are doing to foster job growth and to attract 21st Century jobs. Witnesses emphasized …
Steve Danon for 3rd District S.D. Board of Supes: “The Steamroller” says John Dadian!
This from the North County Times today: …The strong start may have kept some potential candidates from running, observers said. “I’m calling him the steamroller,” said John Dadian, a San Diego political consultant who has known Danon for 20 years. “I can’t understand why nobody’s jumped in yet. I think they’re afraid of Steve. I think (they’re afraid) with good …

Poll: 70% of San Diegans Oppose Chargers Stadium Subsidy
According to a new Survey USA poll, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders’s proposed public subsidy for a new Chargers stadium is a tough sell to the public. In the October 13th poll that surveyed 500 adults in the City of San Diego, 70% of respondents opposed an annual $38 million taxpayer subsidy to fund a new football stadium for 30 …
What??? Occupy Portland: Protesters Sing F*ck the USA???
I see them using electric guitars, which are either being powered by generators that are run by fuel from big oil, or power from Portland Electric. I doubt they would have enough solar panels to run their equipment. They would have more credence if they were using non-electric acoustic guitars. Probably more credence if they were all wearing clothing which …
SURPRISE! Media Cheer Wall Street Occupiers But Jeered Tea Partiers
For us limited government advocates, there’s nothing surprising in the story’s revelations below. But it’s nice to have the facts actually quantified, with the blatant liberal MSM bias documented. Yes, the source is biased to the right, but I doubt anyone who has been following media coverage even superficially would disagree with the conclusions of this analysis. For the short …

Jerry Brown’s Use of the Veto: More Bark than Bite
OCTOBER 14, 2011 6:18PM Jerry Brown’s Use of the Veto: More Bark than Bite Well, I must say. I AM disappointed. I expected more out of Jerry Brown. As it turns out, Governor Brown postured for the cameras about how many unworthy bills were sent up by the Democrat-controlled state legislature for his signature. But in the end, he vetoed …
163 Suicide jumper makes demands on Dumanis
No, this is not one of our infamous April 1 posts. This is obviously a terrible and potentially tragic situation for the man threatening to commit suicide — and this is not to make light of it in any way. It may or may not be political news, but it very well could be a sad statement on society that …
Occupy Boston protesters spit on Coast Guard member. Should we use the same logic that the media use with the Tea Party?
http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/local/occupy-boston-protesters-spit-on-coast-guard-member-20111013 If I used the same logic many in the media and Democratic leadership have used about the Tea Party (based upon comments made by by a very small minority of Tea Party “members”), that means all members of the OCCUPY-whatever are very disrespectful towards members of the military. Using a very, very small sampling to then label all in …
DeVore leaving for Texas, ends OC Supe bid
We wish this true patriot the best. From Chuck DeVore… http://www.chuckdevore.com/ Good-bye, California, I’m going to Texas It’s hard to say “good-bye” – perhaps “au revoir” is better (till we meet again). As some of my friends know, our family has been caring for my aged in-laws, 86 and 82. As with many people who have seen a full life …
Poway Councilmember Grosch starts term limits effort
From Poway Councilmember Dave Grosch… Dear Poway voters, One of the first things I did when I was elected last year was to propose term limits for Poway City Council Members. I proposed them because I strongly believe they would encourage more residents with fresh ideas to run for office. Too often, potential candidates are discouraged at the prospect of …

OK, a brief break to celebrate something that Unites us: Aztec football. Heisman Trophy hopeful Ronnie Hillman somehow ran faster at altitude in Colorado Springs tonight, leading SDSU to an upset of favored Air Force (Vegas made the Falcons a 6-point choice). Aztecs are now 4-2 overall, and 1-1 in Mountain West Conference. More details at the “Go Aztecs” website. Their next two …

With primary season approaching quickly, the Republicans have hoisted a new favorite — Herman Cain. A new Rasmussen poll shows Cain and Romney with 29 percent of the primary vote and Newt Gingrich moving up to third with 10 percent. What a difference a month makes.

Wrong, SD GOP . . . Sigh
This is not how Republicans should be making the news . . . From the San Diego Union-Tribune: Twitter accounts of county GOP, chairman yanked A good (old fashioned?) cyber-spat between San Diego County’s Republican and Democratic parties has broken out on — where else? — Twitter. On Wednesday, local Democratic Party Chairman Jess Durfee issued a press release about …
