The liberal Democratic leadership wants to solve California’s budgetary problems with more taxes. Isn't there an old saying about insanity being doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?

When will these people realize that California's financial problems are not the result of a shortage of revenues. The problems are caused by overspending!

The size of California’s budget has grown at a pace which outpaces inflation by leaps and bounds. And they still want to spend more.

At the same time they are doing everything they can to drive businesses, tax-paying and good job providing businesses, out of California by passing one anti-business piece of legislation after another: health care for everyone (paid for by employers), paid employee sick days (paid for by employers), expanded family leave (paid for by employers), increased workers compensation disability coverage (paid for by employers), and the elimination of the interest deduction for businesses.

It is apparent they have no concept of how our economy works and they will not stop until they have driven the last employer who can leave out of California and the rest of us will be forced out because we can’t make a profit.

California is heading for a fiscal and moral meltdown while the liberals are careening full speed ahead and out of control on the same course that brought us to this point.

Why do I say that? Well, let’s look at California’s finances. Revenues are up 40% in the last few years. Spending has grown more than 44%.

The majority party’s only plan is to increase your taxes. As usual, they’re advocating the exact opposite of what needs to be done.

Here’s what I think we need to do: adopt the sensible and fiscally-responsible spending limits outlined in Assemblyman Villines’s proposal. This plan outlines reasonable guidelines to control spending, establishes a contingency fund for unforeseen expenses and emergencies and pays off our monstrous debt.

On to our quality of life. Californians voted overwhelmingly to pass Proposition 22. Now we need to pass the marriage protection amendment to the State’s Constitution. This amendment is needed to prevent the radical homosexual element from undermining marriage, one of our culture’s most valued institutions.

If we don’t, a small group of judges will replace the will of the people with their own judicial activism. That will open the floodgates for the entire country to have to accept the imposition of the will of a small minority over that of the majority through judicial fiat.

Aren’t you ready for some common sense in Sacramento? We need people in Sacramento who understand Valley Values.

You can make a difference. Send me to Sacramento to fight to save our way of life and the future of California for the next generation and beyond.

I believe with responsible and planned growth, valuable agricultural land can be protected, the economy can be diversified, and the coming growth in population can be accommodated. Developement needs to happen on the edges of existing communities into areas where the land is not the best ag land.

We do not have a revenue problem in California, we have a spending problem.

Parents, not the government, should raise their children.

California social programs, medical and legal systems and culture exist to serve Californians, not the world at large.

More water storage capacity is needed now as water is the key to everything in the Central Valley, from agriculture to development.
