Good Job Brownie - Solidarity Forever!

In January 1979 Governor Jerry Brown signed the DILLS ACT. It permitted state employees to negotiate salaries and benefits with other state employees - the legislators whom they helped elect with union dues. The result of this self-serving "negotiation" by both state employees is a $500 billion unfunded liability for state health and pension benefits. Their contrived "spike" of final year salaries and the addition of accrued vacation to their pensions is virtual white collar crime as committed by the public employees in Bell, California. Such greed might be continued on Wall Street - but it must end in Sacramento.

This HALF TRILLION DOLLAR unfunded liability truly is plundering the state budget and bankrupting California. It deprives honest hardworking taxpayers of the health care, educational, public safety and social services they pay for with some of the highest taxes in the nation. Unless these excessive benefits are corrected, every Californian, their children and grandchildren will pay for them all their lives with higher state taxes and less services.

Unfortunately instead of cutting excessive benefits and costly regulations to help reduce the deficit, Governor Brown - as in 1979 - has thanked the unions for funding his election. He cynically has cut both the Adult Day Care health program and In Home Support for the elderly, frail and disabled, and threatens additional cuts in state services unless Californians, who now pay some of the highest taxes in the nation, vote for more taxes. Surely this will drive out more businesses, jobs and tax revenues at a time when state unemployment is over 12 percent.

Common Sense and Decency for the GOP

RONALD REAGAN’S 11th COMMANDMENT: COMMON SENSE AND DECENCY FOR THE GOP

It is often said: "Local Politics is Hollywood for the ugly and an asylum for the insane." God is good - the Democrats have the ugly genes. Unfortunately, the Republicans have some disturbed personalities who seem compelled to defame others. They hurt the GOP at this historic time when the Democrats are being exposed as the party of parasites that feed at the public trough - in the city, the state, and the nation.

The CAGOP will soon elect a dynamic state chairman who can articulate GOP efforts statewide to help defeat the shameless tax-borrow-spend schemes of Jerry Brown, Barack Obama and local liberals. The SFRCC needs responsible members who will work together and respect President Reagan’s 11^th Commandment –and especially be truthful in everything they say and do..

Our Grand Old Party seems to have forgotten the common sense decency of the 11^th Commandment. At present, a defamation lawsuit is pending among Republican leaders in rural northern California. There were similar issues among Republicans in southern California, the central valley and the east bay. In San Francisco, it was necessary for a prominent law firm that specializes in defamation cases to warn some Republicans in 2010 that the mere repetition of a false defamatory statement could have costly consequences. In 2007 the Republican County Committee (SFRCC) wisely censured a former committee member for defamation.

The San Francisco chapter of the CRA (SFRA) strives to vet new members to ensure they respect the 11^th Commandment and encourages all members to abide by this good rule. The SFRCC and every Republican county committee and chartered organization in the state should do likewise..

The SFRCC and all clubs need leaders and members who differ on issues, policies, candidates, etc. But there should be no place on the SFRCC or any county committee or GOP club for anyone who defames Republicans—or anyone else.
