SFRA Chairman blasts Dems & SF Chron

S.F. CHRONICLE EDITOR In the 2008 campaign both candidates agreed on the need to reform health care. The President and Democrat majority has presented a 1037 page $1 trillion cradle to grave federal intrusion on 300 million Americans that excludes needed tort reform and Republican input. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has reported massive cost deficits, and the recent town hall meetings disclosed serious voter concerns, especially from senior citizens. The 2009 Affordable Health Choices Act, HR 3200 is now opposed by “likely voters” 56 to 43 percent; it should be modified on a bipartisan basis. Instead, the Democrat Party has responded to citizen’s concerns with former president Carter calling opponents of the President’s plan “bigots” and Speaker Pelosi has suggested opponents may cause “violence.” Worse, the San Francisco Chronicle amplified these charges with an editorial cartoon depicting Americans that attend Tea Parties standing around a burning cross, the caption reads: “These Tea Party protesters are getting kind of scary.” Is this what the Chronicle thinks of American citizens who attended Tea Parties; seniors, handicapped, veterans, including this writer, and all who oppose the bill as presently written?

SFRA Chairman says - Report ACORN

S.F. CHRONICLE Editor “Inside glorious nation of ACORN.” (Sept 17) Debra Saunders has done for 400,000 readers of the Chronicle what its political reporters are not doing: Readers deserve to know ACORN is a non profit tax exempt organization now under investigation in 14 states for voter registration fraud and political activities in the 2008 presidential campaign. The IRS has filed three tax liens of almost $1 million against ACORN. The Obama campaign has reported paying $832,000 for get-out-the-vote efforts to an ACORN affiliate, Citizens Consulting Inc., but filed the payments with the Federal Election Commission as 'staging, sound, lighting.' It corrected the false filings only after being exposed. Ms. Saunders has reminded readers that both California Senators Feinstein and Boxer have joined in an 83-7 vote to prohibit granting federal housing funds to ACORN, and the U.S Census Bureau has terminated its partnership agreement with ACORN. Governor Schwarzenegger and the California Republican Party has urged the Secretary of State Bowen to conduct an investigation of voter registration activities by ACORN or its representatives. This issue deserves daily attention by the political staff of the San Francisco Chronicle. Mike DeNunzio CHAIRMAN S.F. REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY The Conscience of the Republican Party

SFGOP - The Adult Party

September 4, 2009 San Francisco Chronicle Editor “Are you sitting down for this? There is a San Francisco Republican Party” wrote Heather Knight- mocking the S.F Republican Party in her report on the resolution passed by the SFGOP Central Committee condemning Supervisor Campos’ legislation regarding undocumented youth. (City Insider, Sept 4) Indeed there is a San Francisco Republican Party; it is the adult party in the City that does the right thing. In 1999 the SFGOP endorsed Willie Brown and stopped a radical takeover of The City by Tom Ammiano. In the 2003 mayoral runoff the SFRCC turned out 35,000 GOP voters to enable Gavin Newsom to edge leftist Matt Gonzolez by 15,000 votes- and save free enterprise and private property in San Francisco. The Adult Party reminds elected officials t heir first responibility is to obey the law. The California Court of Appeals has ruled San Francisco must obey federal and state law and notify federal authorities when an undocumented person is arrested- regardless of age. In 2009 the San Francisco Republican Party again will do the right thing. The San Francisco Republican Assembly SFRA commends SFRCC Chairman Howard Epstein for the resolution sponsored by member Dr. Mike Antonini and PASSED UNANIMOUSLY by the full committee for the SFGOP to work with Republican coalition partners to defeat this misguided ordinance at the polls, or in the courts. All candidates should heed this warning. MIKE DENUNZIO
