CRP Statement on Barbara Boxer's Senate Health Care Vote Tonight

SACRAMENTO - California Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring issued the following statement this evening:

"Tonight Barbara Boxer put her liberal ideology first as she brought America one dangerous step closer to government-run health care.

"Her vote paves the way for Harry Reid's and Nancy's Pelosi's health care vision to become reality, together with the higher premiums, higher taxes, Medicare cuts, and taxpayer funded abortions that are all part of this plan.

"The 2009 elections demonstrated that Americans have become increasingly disillusioned with the Democrats' agenda of government bailouts and takeovers with their massive deficits, out of control spending, government owned auto-companies, an energy tax, and now government health care. At a time when California's unemployment rate has hit 12.5%, well above the national average, the job and wage losses the Pelosi-Boxer health care plan will impose come at a time when Californians can least afford it.

"Her vote for more government control in our lives and our health care is just the latest reason we're looking forward to sending a new United States Senator to Washington representing California next year.

CRP Statement on the Passing of Hon. Nao Takasugi

SACRAMENTO - California Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring issued the following statement this evening:

"Each of us at the California Republican Party is saddened tonight by the news that former Assemblyman Nao Takasugi of Oxnard has passed away.

"Mr. Takasugi led an extraordinary life, from his studies at UCLA, to an internment camp for Japanese Americans during World War II, to later serving as the Mayor of Oxnard, and finally as a member of the California State Assembly. Tonight we all take the time to recognize an extraordinary man, and an extraordinary Californian.

Nao Takasugi served in the California State Assembly from 1992 to 1998, during which time he served as the chairman of the Committee on Revenue and Taxation. He was a graduate of Temple University and Wharton School of Business. After leaving the Assembly he went on to serve as the chairman of the Oxnard Harbor District Board of Directors.

CRP Statement Concerning Government Regulation of Internet Political Activity

SACRAMENTO - California Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring today issued the following statement concerning government interest in regulating activities related to campaigning online:

"By including Democrat candidates for California elected offices as recommended users and omitting Republicans until only recently, Twitter has drawn the attention of those in government interested in opening the door to state or federal regulation of online campaign activity, including social networking sites.

"Twitter's announcement that it intends to do away with its suggested user list is a good idea, at least as it applies to candidates. Through a system where corporate executives chose which individuals, including candidates, were recommended, the company put itself in the position of appearing to provide something of value to some candidates over others. It should be no surprise that zealous bureaucrats might seize the opportunity to use this as an excuse to regulate the company's service.

"The notion that some government bureaucracy is going to be able to keep up with, let alone regulate, campaign activities online defies reality. We're seeing a rapidly evolving environment where much of the communication in society is now taking place online, using tools that rise and fall in popularity overnight. Trying to apply cryptic, cumbersome campaign finance rules written for another era to this new forum would be an exercise in futility, but I'm sure there are plenty of bureaucrats more than willing to do it anyway.

"In advance of the FPPC's hearings on the subject, here are a few questions that demonstrate our concerns with proceeding down this path:

• How shall disclaimer rules be applied to tweets on Twitter? Since messages using the service may not exceed 140 characters, the disclaimer may in some cases be longer than the message itself. Does a "Paid for by message..." need to be included when the service itself is free? Does it make a difference if the person generating the tweet is a paid campaign staffer or an unpaid volunteer?
  
  
• What is the in-kind cash value of a Twitter follower? Twitter recently featured several prominent Democrat candidates, and later Republicans, as suggested users on the site, helping to generate tens of thousands of followers for these candidates. If such a listing is to be considered an in-kind contribution, how shall it be calculated?
  
  
• If a candidate has an ad on Facebook, but is charged only when someone clicks on the ad and is taken to a landing page, does a disclaimer as to who paid for the ad need to appear on the ad, or just the landing page?
  
  
• What agency has the regulatory authority to impose regulations on Facebook or Twitter? What jurisdictional boundaries apply? Can rules be applied, and enforced, if these sites store their data on servers located outside of the United States?
  
  
• Finally, what is the compelling government interest in adopting new regulations applying to online campaigning and communications?

Barack Obama Proves He’s No Bill Clinton

By Ron Nehring

Chairman of the California Republican Party
Fox & Hounds Daily

Milton Friedman famously observed that there is nothing so permanent as a temporary government program. In the political world, the Democrats have learned that something of the reverse is also true: there is nothing so temporary as a permanent political trend.

One year ago, Democrats were proclaiming they had established in 2008 a winning political coalition that would last a generation. Independent voters had joined labor unions, ethnic and other groups to form an invincible coalition that would guarantee Democrat victories for the foreseeable future.

Well, the “foreseeable future” lasted about as long as a failed one season comedy on NBC.

What a difference a year makes. Today, Democrats are clearing out of two governor’s offices while Republicans are preparing to move in. A Republican is preparing to take a seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, four counties in New York State fell this month, and the list goes on.

“Hope” and “change” may have been enough in 2008, but that didn’t cut it in 2009.

How, and whether, Democrats choose to adapt to this new political environment will directly impact Republican prospects in 2010.

Yet, Barack Obama is proving he is no Bill Clinton. He is proving this through his governing style since taking office, and in his response to the November 2009 election.

In 2008, Barack Obama successfully appealed to the center of the American political spectrum, but he did so in a fundamentally different way than Bill Clinton did in 1992. In that year, Clinton actively campaigned as a “New” Democrat: moderate, reasonable, centrist. He campaigned on a middle class tax cut, challenged leftist cultural norms with his “Sister Souljah” speech, championed passage of NAFTA and expansion of free trade.

While Clinton appealed to the American center ideologically – through issues as well as rhetoric – Obama appealed to the center only rhetorically. That is, Obama did not embrace a centrist policy agenda during the campaign, or after. Instead, he appealed to the center by emphasizing to no end that he would move in a different direction than the unpopular President Bush. It was enough to win without compromising himself as the die-hard liberal we all knew him to be.

Consequently, Obama has not pursued a centrist policy agenda that would produce bi-partisan support.

He should have.

Consider how different the political world would be today if the President and Democrat congressional leaders had put forth a stimulus package that could garner a hundred Republican votes. Granted, it would have had to be a different package, perhaps with half as much spending plus permanent tax and regulatory relief.

What if their “cap and trade” (energy tax) bill was coupled with a strong dose of permanent regulatory and tax relief that would cause domestic energy production to surge?

And what if Democrats had passed a health care bill in July that was narrowly tailored to the specific failures of our health care system, rather than a back door government takeover through the very unpopular “public option?”

Had this been the case, President Obama’s public support would likely be in the 60% range as Americans responded positively to a leader making good on his promises without offending their sensibilities. Republicans in Congress would be divided between those who voted for Obama’s legislation and those insisting on opposing it. The President would have remained an asset to the Democrat candidates for governor in Virginia and New Jersey. Jon Corzine would have likely won a narrow victory. The 2009 election would have failed to send a clear signal. Republican disarray would be considered a political given for the rest of the 2010 cycle.

Instead, Democrat insistence on a fundamentally leftist policy agenda jammed through Congress without any bipartisan support has had the following effects:

The Republican base is energized, as demonstrated not only by turnout at anti-tax rallies but also in the voter turnout statistics from the November election.

Independent voters have been fundamentally turned off, shifting to Republicans by a 22% margin according to Gallup. This shift has led to a 4% advantage for Republicans in Gallup’s generic ballot strength.

With the dramatic decline of his public approval, the President has become a liability to his party’s candidates.

One would think that the Democrats’ rapidly dimming prospects would prompt a fundamental reassessment of the party’s policy agenda. And here Barack Obama is also proving he is no Bill Clinton.

Following the Republican landslide of 1994, Clinton tacked to the center. He proclaimed “the era of big government is over.” He signed a Republican welfare reform bill that broke the cycle of dependency. Taxes were cut. The budget was balanced. Even the dreaded 55-MPH speed limit was repealed.

Yet, rather than learning the lessons of the 2009 election by shifting to a more centrist agenda, Barack Obama and the Democrat leadership in Congress are plowing ahead with the very same health care reform plan that has already proven to be so unpopular.

In fact, the Democrats’ actions in Washington reflects a mentality of: “we have the majority now, we’re not going to have it for long, and we’re going to jam through every last bit of our agenda that we can before we have to start compromising in ’11.”

Call it, “the Chicago Way.”

Yet while the economy continues to languish, Democrat tactics and strategies have managed to stimulate one thing: the Republican Party.

The Hypocrisy of Jerry Brown, California's Top Cop

By Ron Nehring

Big Government, November 12

The Communications Director for California Attorney General Jerry Brown resigned last week after admitting he regularly taped telephone conversations with reporters without their permission. Under California state law, the recording of private telephone conversations without consent is illegal. Although the Attorney General’s Office worked to shut down the story by calling it an internal personnel matter, the potentially illegal behavior of a senior staff member to California’s top cop raises some serious questions.

Here’s one: How can one of the most powerful law enforcement officials in America not know his communications director routinely engaged in activities that may have been unlawful?

Or, how is it that only this senior member of the staff knew this was occurring as they currently claim?

Since we know the conversations on the tapes were transcribed, who provided those transcriptions? Was it an internal staff member? If it was an outside service, who approved the payments for such service?

Any logical line of questioning (especially from an office full of state attorneys) would seem to lead to two possible conclusions: either procedures in one of the highest profile law offices in the nation are woefully inadequate and ineffective; or, other members of staff knew what was going on and are now concealing their earlier knowledge.

Either conclusion is a disaster for a man who frequently brags of the benefits of four decades of political experience.

The irony here is that while Jerry Brown has chosen not to investigate the matter further, his office is currently pursuing the makers of the recent videos that exposed ACORN’s corrupt practices based on the same legal grounds. Apparently California’s Attorney General thinks that he and his cohorts can sidestep the very laws that they are using as justification for their investigations of ACORN filmmakers James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles.

Unfortunately, it appears Brown may manage to casually sweep this scandal under the rug while breezing into the Democratic Party’s 2010 gubernatorial nomination. With the sudden departure San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom from the race last week, Brown currently has no other opposition in the race to win the nomination of the party that likes to lecture everyone else about diversity.

The bottom line is that Brown displayed serious management deficiencies that allowed a senior member of his staff to go rogue under that neglected leadership. His double standard policy for the investigation of possible crimes under the law conveniently keeps his political pals out of the fray while aggressively going after those who exposed the problems at ACORN.

At least we know who that group will be campaigning for in 2010.

CRP Praises CA Republicans on Health Care Vote

SACRAMENTO -- Citing the higher taxes and massive expansion of government control over individual health choices that will result from Nancy Pelosi's health care bill, California Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring tonight praised the members of the state's Republican delegation in the House of Representatives for voting unanimously in opposition.

"California's Republican Members of Congress tonight stood together on the side of the American people and against a giant, costly new health care bureaucracy that will transfer decisions about Americans' health out of the hands of patients and doctors and into thousands of bureaucrats' little cubicles in Washington DC," said California Republican Chairman Ron Nehring.

"Nancy Pelosi's legislative monstrosity will make health care more expensive for families, raise taxes, cut Medicare, and put bureaucrats in between doctors and patients. Other than that, it's a great bill," he added. "Republicans will continue to support fiscally responsible health care reforms that empower patients and doctors, not bureaucrats, trial lawyers and tax collectors."

California is represented by 19 Republican Members of Congress, each of whom voted against the Pelosi bill this evening.

"Tonight's vote demonstrates Democrats have no interest in learning the lessons of the 2009 elections that gave Republicans control of two governor's offices plus many state and local government posts. As the Democrats lurch further to the left, we'll seize the opportunity to teach those same lessons again in 2010," Nehring said.
