See voting recommendations below 


We have not done a November election guide, but have some recommendations below. We stand by our primary voter guide, for nominated candidates. Since Democrats mostly follow the Progressive agenda and not Tea Party principles, we cannot in good conscience recommend any running in our jurisdictions at this time. In the San Fernando Valley, Berman is favored over his opponent, as the lesser of two evils. So it is with some Republicans. Some don't follow many Tea Party principles, but are better than their Progressive opponents. There are a few very good third party candidates -- we wish we could say some had a good chance of winning.
For local, so called "non-partisan races," it's a different story. Candidates like Tony Dolz (Conejo Valley School Board) offer clear advantages in supporting principles most of us agree with. Please let us know your local preferences and why. A high percentage of school board and city council candidates do NOT support Tea Party principles of fiscal soundness and Conservatism/Libertarianism. Please help us identify the best ones.
We endorse most of the proposition recommendations on the Propositions forum.

Permalink Reply by George Miller on November 21, 2012 at 7:43pm So, the Libertarians only had an impact on 9 races in the whole country? Sounds like they need to do a much better job. Especially as the Republicans provided some candidates who needed alternatives. Mourdock, apparently born with a silver foot in his mouth, made his own problems. Weak GOP national support for him didn't help either.
I'm all for competent, honest Republicans who follow Republican principles and sick of those who don't. When terrible candidates are run and when major GOP people/organizations fail to support candidates, then they deserve to lose. I know it's terrible to have America-hating Progressives win instead, but perhaps that will motivate Republicans to improve their game. Time for tough love of the Republicans. I'm tired of the B_. Next Republican official who tells me that "I've got nowhere else to go" will get a slap in the upside of the head." And, yes, I HAVE been told that.
We had a major candidate with a terrible position on pension reform, who also pretended not to understand what Agenda 21 was, even after repeated coaching. He lost to an uber-Progressive. We had another one who is a big supporter of abortion and is already twisting words, a la Bill Clinton what is "is,' on his no tax pledge. He won.
That only 9 races nationally were affected by Libertarians speaks to three things:
1. Libertarians are still very weak.
2. The vast majority of Conservatives and Libertarians voted Republican, to keep uber-Progressives out
3. Millions didn't vote at all, because they are totally disgusted with Democrats, Republicans and the entire corrupt electoral process. That's what you should be writing about Don. The non-voting by Conservative and Evangelical Christians, Ron Paul supporters and others genuinely disgusted with candidates, parties and the electoral system in general is the real problem. Or, I should say it is the symptom. I have already explained the problem.
"Obama" was elected by less than 30% of eligible voters. Romney got what- 27% of them?
Another problem: Republicans, except for Allen West and a few others, didn't even have the guts or integrity to contest the most corrupt national elections I have seen in my lifetime. They deserve to lose, for that alone. The Republican party didn't really support West's efforts, so he finally gave it up, even with scads of precincts with 100+% turnout going solidly for his opponent and "Obama."
Maybe the future will bring multiple party offerings, with smart patriots supporting the BEST ones, maybe even parties cross-endorsing. What a novel concept, but it might erode the GOP's perceived monopoly. Monopoly of what, exactly? 30% of registered CA voters? I extend that criticism also to the Libertarian, AIP and Constitution Parties as well. Do you guys want to elect good people and improve the country or not?

George Miller replied to George Miller's discussion Open Mike
George Miller commented on George Miller's blog post IRS Abuses Protest, Camarillo, CA- 5-21-13
George Miller posted events"There are 27 amendments in the Constitution but only one says 'shall not be infringed,'" Steve Toth said. "The Second Amendment is the amendment that keeps the people free."
“The States then being the parties to the constitutional compact, and in their sovereign capacity, it follows of necessity, that there can be no tribunal above their authority, to decide in the last resort, whether the compact made by them be violated; and consequently that as the parties to it, they must themselves decide in the last resort, such questions as may be of sufficient magnitude to require their interposition.” – James Madison
"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." - Niccolo Machiavelli
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” - "Obama", 2008
"A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again."
This country does not need to have a conversation about how many bullets should go in a clip. It does need to have a conversation about how many parents should go in a family. It needs to talk about the ghettos of Obamerica and have a serious conversation about broken families and generational dependency. It needs to have a conversation about funneling new immigrants from broken parts of the world into areas already suffering from high levels of unemployment and street violence.- Daniel Greenfield
Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants and debt is the money of slaves.- Traditional
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ!
A federal government which does not derive its lawful and limited authority from the Constitution of the United States is by definition an occupation government and criminal regime. It’s authority is null and void and no one is bound by any rule of law to obey it. --Donald L. Cline
Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty." -- Thomas Jefferson
“Disarmament of the populace is always the first step to depriving them of their civil rights and human rights…many African-Americans and women are actively assaulting the very document that first secured their own freedom... if you do not believe in the Bill of Rights, then you are not, at heart, an American.” – Mike Adams
Only in America could liberals talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000 a plate campaign fund raising event.
We need to demythologize guns before the liberal attempt to create a totemic fear of them succeeds. If the gun control mentality promoting fear of guns themselves becomes our national mentality, we would turn the clock back to the days when a warrior class ruled over the people because only they had the confidence and expertise to deploy the means of defense and coercion. The gun control agenda will turn us into a people too timid to defend themselves from our would-be masters. – Alan Keyes
So now that there is a new tragedy the president wants to have a “national conversation on guns”. Here’s the thing. Until this national conversation is willing to entertain allowing teachers to carry concealed weapons, then it isn’t a conversation at all, it is a lecture. – Larry Correia'
During his 1956 presidential campaign, a woman called out to Adlai Stevenson: Senator, you have the vote of every thinking person! Stevenson called back: That's not enough, madam, we need a majority.
The economy is so bad, MSNBC had to lay off 300 Obama spokesmen. - Jay Leno
'Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself. - Milton Friedman
“What we’re watching here today is the equivalent of Woodward and Bernstein helping Nixon cover up Watergate,” he said. “The mainstream media is Woodward and Bernstein. Watergate is Benghazi. Except this time, Woodward and Bernstein are helping Nixon cover it up.”-- Russ Limbaugh
Lets see if I have this straight...Former President Bill Clinton ... who lied to his own wife... was convicted of perjury ... disbarred from practicing law in his home state... an admitted philanderer ... who "Never had sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky" ... Impeached by the US House of Representatives ... is giving testimonials for Barrack Obama's character and intentions!!!??? Is this a great country or what!?
"Thanking Obama for killing Bin Laden is like going into McDonalds and thanking Ronald McDonald for the hamburger. It's the guy cooking the burger that should get the credit, not the clown."
referring to 10-3-12 debate: "Obama made a lot of good points tonight. Unfortunately, most of them were for Romney." - Bill Maher, million dollar Obama donor
How can we stand up to someone that creates a 100 dollar Federal Reserve (FR) note for 2 cents and uses the face value of the note of 100 dollars to buy a 100 dollar U.S. Security where the government has to pay them 4% in interest at the end of the year? A yearly cost of 4 FR notes where it only cost the FR 2 cents to print.
This is the biggest Conspiracy you may ever encounter and this started sometime around 1913. Yes, your parents and their parents had so much of their time stolen from them at a cost of 2 pennies. And the National Debt is one big fraud. And this is not just in the United States but the whole world.- Steven Pattison
“Can you imagine a nation founded on the principles of God is being taken over by a party that despises God, denies God’s existence and wants to stab Israel in the back in order to support the Islamists who would kill the Jews and drive them out of the Middle East?”- - Michael Savage
"WE own this country, and when someone doesn't do the job "we have to let them go."- Clint Eastwood at RNC
"If you've got a business -- you didn't build that, somebody else made that happen”- Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro
“Capital must protect itself in every possible way, both by combination and legislation. Debts must be collected, mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through the process of law, the common people lose their homes, they will become more docile and more easily governed through the strong arm of government applied by a central power of wealth under leading financiers. These truths are well known among our principal men who are now engaged in forming an imperialism to govern the world. By dividing the voter through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for questions of no importance. It is thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves that which has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished.”
- President American Bankers Association, 1924
"I think it is wonderful that Eric holder is making sure that Mexicans' second amendment rights are preserved!" - Bobby Florenz
“My father was a hardcore conservative and a straight line Republican voter before he died. Now he votes Democrat.” (-Unknown)
Today, President Obama is calling for the same with the Buffett Rule.' Obama is under the mistaken impression that America's symbol is the bald ego." --The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto
‘In years to come there is going to be information that will come out that Obama was not the man who made the call. He can say he did and the people who really know what happened are inside the Pentagon, are in the military and the military isn’t allowed to speak out against the commander- in-chief so his secret is safe.’—Chris Kyle, former SEAL sniper
Remember just a few years ago when...
...the official unemployed was at 8.4 million instead of 12.4 million?
...the U.S. debt was at 9.5 trillion instead of 15.5 trillion?
...gas was $1.89 a gallon?
...the U.S. was friends with Isreal?
...food Stamp Recipients was at 29 million instead of 46 million?
...U.S. Astronauts didn't have to travel with Russians to go into space?
...our country's credit rating was a Triple AAA rating?
"Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack Obama does with mine."- David Burge
Rep. Randy Neugebauer put the burden into perspective: “It will take over 24 million man hours to comply with Dodd-Frank rules per year. It took only 20 million to build the Panama Canal.”
"Sixty-one percent of debt issued by the Treasury is bought by the Federal Reserve -- which is to say the left hand of the U.S. Government is lending money to the right hand of the US Government. ... Nonetheless, in a land where every mewling babe in the American nursery is born with a debt burden of just under $200,000, the president brags that only his party is 'compassionate' to have no plan whatsoever even to attempt to do anything about this, no way, no how, not now, not ever." --columnist Mark Steyn
Isn't it amazing how every facet of Sergeant Bales life, high school, college, employment, why he left his employment, his brother’s employment, his wife’s employment, real estate holdings, a missed house payment , a missed promotion etc., is exposed within a week and the same fact finders can't find comparable info on the most powerful man in the world in three plus years ?
"We do not have a single document that proves Mr. Obama's birth in Hawaii or anywhere in the United States for that matter. The document is fake, the representation is fake.—Mike Zullo, Arpaio Posse Chief Investigator
" If they (SCOTUS destroy the Constitution, they will have destroyed that which created their positions." - Stewart Rhodes.
"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the Courts, NOT to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." -- Abraham Lincoln
"Quick, name something that government does better than the private sector that doesn't involve detention, killing, or eliminating freedom." ----Bobby Florentz
"Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves."---- Ronald Reagan (1911-2004) 40th US President
“The election of President Obama by the presidential electors, confirmed by Congress, makes the documents and testimony sought by plaintiff irrelevant,” Obama’s lawyer Jablonski said.
“The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.”
--Author Tom Clancy
But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace. "
- Thomas Paine.
"Look, the Taliban, per se, is not our enemy.”
- VP Joe Biden
December 2011
"The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and for people, equally in war and peace, and it covers with its shield of protection all classes of men, at all times and under all circumstances. No doctrine involving more pernicious consequences was ever invented by the wit of men that any of its great provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government."
– Ex Parte Milligan (1866)
Permit me to hint whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of foreigners into the administration of our national government ; and to declare expressly that the command in chief of the American army shall not be given to, nor devolve on any but a natural born citizen.

Calling Ron Paul "out of the mainstream" is a double-edged sword, because it also means he can’t possibly be responsible for the condition of the country today.

"The actual need for a service, its relevance and value is always subordinate to the bureaucracy. This is the difference from the private sector: you go into a shop, and the sales assistant asks, 'Can I be of assistance to you, sir?' You go into a government agency: 'Get to the back of the queue and wait until you are called!”'
- Alistair Mcleod
