So – this is what Team Jessica is doing to try and win the election! (Along with Steve is a racist) When the 1990’s era consultants can’t control the outcome, they cheat and they lie. (The steal part does not come until election day)

I am laying out evidence to prove both assertions. I give you Mark Spannagel’s latest:

NAME REDACTED

	Steve I voted for you to be president of the California Republican Party. I am xxxxxxxxxxxx of chico republicans women. At a central committee meeting an aid to one of our congressman said you were friends with Bob Mullholand of Chico. He is a very notorious dem. Is this true?

There are a string of dubious county parties in the North State that Spannagel, David Stafford Reade and others control. Butte – run by a Nielsen Staffer Saolo Londono (who has a major league anger management issue) is probably one of the most legit in their orbit. However, the fact that Spannagel has to go lie to them in order to keep them in line is telling. Note: Bob Mulholland and his wife live in the area and Spannagel, Saolo and crew ran his wife off the Butte County board of Supervisors a couple of elections ago – so he is a boogie man there.

Lying is not new to Mark Spannagel. Even though the Marysville Appeal Democrat and the Redding Record Searchlight have long since archived the 10-year-old articles… I cut and pasted the Marysville article in to a blog post from years ago to prove the FBI investigation lie.

Note that the Redding Record-Searchlight reporter referenced in the blog is Bruce Ross. Mr. Ross now works for Megan Dahle and is an appointed CRP Delegate from Shasta County. Ross is a good dude and always has been.

Chiefs of staff for two Yuba-Sutter area state legislators have been booted from a conservative grassroots organization over claims they committed membership fraud and were disruptive.

The board of the directors of the California Republican Assembly voted 36-2 in separate motions Saturday to expel Mark Spannagel, chief of staff to state Sen. Doug LaMalfa, R-Richvale, and David Reade, chief of staff to Assemblyman Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber.

Aaron Park, sergeant at arms for the CRA, said Reade manipulated units of the assembly to get the group’s endorsement for Mitt Romney during the 2008 presidential primary. And Reade and Spannagel submitted records of association members who weren’t actually affiliated at all, Park said.

“These instances go back as far as 2007,” said Park, adding Reade is expelled for 10 years and Spannagel for five.

The expulsions do not affect either man’s position with LaMalfa and Nielsen nor their status as registered Republicans, Park said. Reade and Spannagel can appeal their expulsions when the statewide assembly meets for a convention, which could happen in either November or January.

Spannagel said he hadn’t attended the meeting where the expulsion vote happened.

“If that’s the way they want to go, that’s the way they want to go,” he said. He pointed out members of the Placer County Republican Central Committee, including Park, are under investigation by the FBI and state Fair Political Practices Commission.

Reade said he’d also make note of the ongoing investigations.

“The once venerable California Republican Assembly has fallen into disrepute under the current rogue leadership,” he said. “They’ve lost any legitimacy as an organization, and it’s sad.”

Former CRA President Mike Spence and U.S. Rep. Tom McClintock have recently criticized the CRA’s current leadership for infighting and moving to purge some members rather than reform itself.

Once called by Ronald Reagan as the conscience of the Republican Party, the California Republican Assembly bills itself as the largest conservative grassroots group in the state.

It has been 10 years. No FPPC. No FBI. nada. Maybe Spannagel should ask Bob Mulholland about this too.

When I wrote that I know these people, I meant it. I have at least 20 years of history with them and it is mostly bad. These are the people Jessica Patterson is relying on to get Re-Elected.
