2010 Political Call to Action #Tcot
2010 is upon us and with it the opportunity to engage in Political Battle on a level not seen in many years.
Most have made the decision, both conscious or unconscious to sit it out and accept what ever the out come and consequences befalls them.
Some even suffer under the false assumption that their refusal to participate in the process is a form of protest, that some how it demonstrates their independence. They do not know that this form of descent is precisely what those who would oppress them desire.
Still others have not only resigned themselves to their position on the political ladder but have opted to use their positions to address their own agendas on the political front.
All those mentioned above have by their actions or inactions contributed to the current political environment.
The results are very clear and can be quickly identified with a look at the number of registered voters in a particular district. We as Republicans residing in the 42nd State Assembly District need only look back to the beginning of the decade.
The number of Registered Republicans in the 42nd District in 2003 was 53,610. Over the past four years to decline continued and is on a downward spiral.
5/12/09 Republicans 48,989
5/28/08 Republicans 49,050
9/24/07 Republicans 49,383
All the while the Independents or Decline to States are on the increase. They are now in second place behind Democrats.
5/12/09 D/S 60,733
5/28/08 D/S 56,462
9/24/07 D/S 55,791
The Democrats continue to increase their numbers and are going unchallenged by aggressive Republican Representation.
5/12/09 Dems 146,576
5/28/08 Dems 137,170
9/24/06 Dems 132,240
In all my efforts in the political area, from the campaigns to keep the Cross on the Los Angeles County Seal, the Legal Challenge against Prop R and the campaigns for political office, the determining factor was not that the campaign was going to be a clear Victory, but that the effort was going to make a difference.
As we go forward with the 2010 election process, I am looking to assemble a Team of men and women who are willing to accept the challenge and take the fight to the opposition.
Men and women with strong faith and belief, both of which will be needed to meet the opposition head on in the heat of battle.
The General Election is not until November but we can not afford to wait until the June Primary Election to assemble a Team Dedicated to our cause.
As a result, I am assembling a Team beginning today. This Team will be made up of Volunteers. We need Volunteers who will be willing to provide their time, effort and passion in order to move our campaign forward.
In addition to the Campaign Staff, we are also looking for a Team of individuals who will run for the 42nd State Assembly District. You will register as a candidate for the Republican Central Committee in the 42nd District and your name will appear on the ballot in June.
Our Team will assist you from beginning to end. We will work together as a “Slate” to offer real choices to the Republicans in the 42nd District.
We will provide the resources to qualify you for the ballot and get your name out to the Republican voters.
