Let me start by saying that I am not aligned politically with the Tehama GOP within the GOP political strata. They have been / are in the LaMalfa/Nielsen Camp - the regular readers of this blog know that I use LaMalfa and Nielsen as a punching bag regularly. That...
In the last 24 hours I got two emails: The first shows a very young Gentlemen Jim Nielsen with Pete Wilson advertising a fundraiser. The Email was sent from a Vanessa McCarthy-Olmstead - McCarthy? I'd assume a relation to Kevin McCarthy, the godfather of the...
What if I told you there was a "new" Republican Club starting in Placer County whose events were invitation only and that not all Republican electeds were on the invitation list? What if I told you that membership cost $500 a year to join, but that not anyone can...
Sutter County's Lincoln Day Dinner was very different from Yuba's. The crowd was smaller and the atmosphere was much more subdued. As opposed to Yuba County where Dan Logue is a rockstar - Sutter County is under the influence of Team Nielsen/LaMalfa. Wally Herger...
I got to see H.L. Richardson speak - wow. At 84 years of age, he is amazing, still. I did not know that Sam Paredes is H.L.'s son-in-law. The attendance at this dinner was phenomenal and I took note of a Monument that the Knights of Colombus placed on the Church...
Here is the text of an Email from Dan Logue: Chico – North State Assemblyman Dan Logue today announced that he would be seeking reelection to the newly drawn Third Assembly District seat. Logue was originally elected to the Third Assembly District in 2008 and has...
Jim Nielsen has a fan club. Don Bird is a 76-year old retired marine whose life mission has been to get Gentleman Jim thrown in state prison for living in Woodland outside the soon to be old 2nd Assembly District while running for office there. (That is illegal as...
Have you seen the recent STOP SB48 emails bearing the name of Doug LaMalfa and Gentlemen Jim Nielsen? For those of you familiar with Jim Nielsen's role in the attempted gutting of the 2012 CRP Platform - including eliminating any mention of a stand on "Homosexual...
There has been a ton of wailing and gnashing of teeth over the California Republican Party Platform recently and the CRA's recent upheaval. There is a connection now - provided to us by Moderate Republican Assemblyman Jim Nielsen. Nielsen was endorsed by CRA in...
After reading Matt Rexroad's comments about the results of re-distircting - I have determined the following: 1. The process was corrupt, but not as bad as if it had been done in Sacramento. 2. The GOP Registration is 30.9% statewide and falling, yet we have a...
For $1000, you can buy the silence of a "Conservative" Group, apparently. Not a peep from the Capitol Resource Institute, or its' employees about Jim Nielsen leading the charge to decimate the Republican Party Platform in California. "Conservative" Assemblymember...
The CRA convention was insane to say the least. Mark Spannagel and David Reade started the pleasantries at 3pm by harrassing Karen Atteberry and my sister in law Christy at the registration table. At one point, Christy was practically in tears. Mark Spannagel...
