Rancho
Santa Margarita, CA – If you did not
have a chance to watch the 2012 Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates
but listened to ABC, CBS, NBC and or
CBS’s coverage of the events, you would
have to conclude that the President won the first and second debates and that
Vice-President Joe Biden won his debate.
Begs the
question: What criteria was used to
declare the winner? We like to note that in high school and
college, forensic teams study and practice different forms of
communication and discussion, including persuasion, informative speaking,
rhetorical criticism and academic speaking. Debate teams are graded using
specific criteria, such as how clear they communicate and the
strength of their arguments, not on the strength of their manipulative tactics
Now, would you be willing to blindly
accept the Californian Republican Assembly (CRA) endorsements, such as the ones
contained in its November 2012 CRA Voter Guide? Perhaps before you answer the question is to reflect on how
effective the CRA has been over the last ten years. Heck, just look at the midterm elections: While all eyes were on Wisconsin, The Union Wreaks Havoc
in SOCAL - California Voters Approve
63% of tax Measures
While
the Cotobuzz applauded the January 2010 Baugh Manifesto, we thought it did not
go far enough. We contacted all of Orange
County city council members - including
Rancho Santa Margarita council members - that February and only Villa Park’s
Councilwoman Deborah Pauly took a
stand. Do you know what happened to Ms. Pauly?
So
what does this all have to do with the Rancho Santa Margarita City Council
Elections? Plenty! The CRA is suggesting the status quo in
endorsing Beall, Gamble and McGirr.
Have you heard the definition of insanity as voting for the same type of
politicians over and over again? Instead, we recommend you ONLY vote for Kenney Hrabik - so as not to split the vote.

whether you liked him or hated him, one thing was a given. Petrilla is a change agent. We were spot on.

Santa Margarita, CA - Jesse Petrilla is a self-described anti-tax,
pro-business, community-oriented advocate against big government running for
Rancho Santa Margarita City Council.
California
Voters Approve 63% of tax Measure
Local
voters approved 63% or 55 of the 87 local tax, bond or fee measures on the June
5, 2012 California primary ballot according to Michael Coleman, the creator of
CaliforniaCityFinance.com. Majority vote measures fared much better than
super-majority votes requiring 2/3 approval to pass special taxes and bonds.
Fifteen or 79% of the 19 majority vote measures passed, but only eighteen or
53%% of the 34 supermajority vote taxes passed. Voters favored approval of
school tax and bond measures by 66%, compared to 45% for non-schools.
Rancho
Santa Margarita, CA – We all know that President Obama, Pelosi, Boxer, Reid,
Van Jones et all want to in the President’s own words, fundamentally transform
America. This past week during a Gay Lesbian Transgender (GBLT)
fund-raising event in California, the President boasted about his
accomplishments promoting the GBLT’s agenda saying something to the effect: “I
could not be prouder of my accomplishments, as these contribute to a more
perfect union”
Rancho
Santa Margarita, CA- If you follow college football, more than likely you know
of or have heard of the Fresno State Bulldogs football. 1994 marked the
beginning of three consecutive losing seasons for the Bulldogs, ushering the
Pat Hill era, who defined, implemented and has cultivated a culture of Anytime,
Anywhere, Any Time, meaning that his teams are never afraid to take on
any opponent, on their own terms. Hill’s teams routinely play
elite, highly-ranked teams and has the distinction of leading the only non-BCS
school to record three consecutive bowl victories over schools from BCS
conferences.
Rancho Santa Margarita- CA - Typical of the series we call, a
HOA's Legal - Mind, A Terrible Thing to Waste, Rancho Santa Margarita's
homeowners association SAMLARC has initiated legal action against City Council
candidate Jesse Petrilla for violation of the HOA's campaign sign policy.
But
wait, there is more - The city also has removed signs from city medians
according to City Clerk Molly McLaughlin
Rancho Santa Margarita's Shovel Ready Voters Guide
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA - We say that the 2010 general election is a Shovel Ready Election – including the elections in the City of Rancho Santa Margarita (RSM). As opposed to the promised Shovel Ready Projects used as a justification to pass massive government spending that even the President now agrees, were not really shovel ready, in this case this voters guide is shovel ready: Get ready your shovel, put your boots on and get ready to shovel the guano out of office.
Petrilla Takes On RSM City Hall's Kerryesque Stand on Annexation and Public Safety
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA - Jesse Petrilla, candidate for Rancho Santa Margarita City Council blasted the council for its stand on public safety and annexation. Petrilla took particular aim at the votes ".. cast by the three council members up for re-election, may eventually destroy the small town atmosphere we in R.S.M. have all come to love."
While the RSM city hall voted to increase its political capital with parasitic bureaucracies, such as LAFCO and CLRC by reversing itself to opposing LAFCO's amendment to sphere of influence, in essence committing to provide more services to more residents, it also voted to make cuts to its public safety budget: View this as Rancho's version of DC's smoke-filled back room deals which included Stupak's Soul Sale, the Cornhuskers Kick Back, the Union Bribe, the Louisiana Purchase, and others
The excitement in and around the Jesse
Petrilla for Rancho Santa Margarita for city council campaign is palpable, on
the heels of Congressman Rohrabacher’s endorsement of Petrilla. “I
am very excited about the momentum and support my campaign has received so
early on. We need to keep it up all the way to November.” Said Petrilla
Ranch Santa Margarita, CA - the RSM City Council battle lines

choice between the good old boys or new change:
The candidates vying for Rancho Santa Margarita's two available four-year seats on city council in the November general election include Tony Beall, Carol Gamble and Kenney Hrabik. The former two candidates represent the status quo in more ways than one, while Hrabik represents change and is endorsed by Councilman Jesse Petrilla.

Villa Park, CA - Our quest to find out whether Orange County City Hall supports
the Baugh Initiative has started to yield
good fruit. The Baugh Initiative advanced by Orange County GOP’s Chairman
Scott Baugh requires politicians to choose between the GOP or the
the union.
An interview of a different kind
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA - We were looking forward to a
substantive debate between Mr. Chuck DeVore and Mr. Todd Spitzer as
they attempt to make their case for a Third District Board of Supervisors seat
in 2012. Given their collective experience in public service, the
operative question is whether they have become part of the problem, or part of
the solution. We are still looking.
We publicly challenged both candidates to
see whether they had any specific bold proposals - emphasis
on bold, for what should be obvious reasons- for the fiscal tsunami facing the
county, and to make sure they got the memo, we tried to reach them multiple
times via their Facebook accounts, asking them to respond by no later than
April 29, 2011 at 5:00 pm. Mr. DeVore was gracious
enough to respond. We have yet to hear from Mr. Spitzer.
DeVore on ANDRES BOCELI - Rancho
Santa Margarita, CA- Candidate Obama rightfully demanded that
words must mean something. President Obamaregularly parses words not unlike the
infamous "it all depends on what is is". Politicians regularly
use the terms accountability and transparency, but when pressed as to what they
are ready to do, they deflect, deny or ignore, perhaps even lie - that is, the
political game of DIDL.
California's Triple Threat - Rancho
Santa Margarita, CA - We assert that the sucking sound you
hear are all the jobs California is losing to Nevada, Texas and Utah, in large
measure do to what we refer to as California's Triple Threat:
1) Public sector organized labor, 2) un-elected, un-checked parasitic bureaucracies and
3) lobbyists.
Economic Freedom and the Triple Constraint - Rancho
Santa Margarita, CA - The Heritage Foundation & The Wall Street
Journal compared 183 countries across ten
specific freedoms such as trade freedom, business freedom,
property rights, investment freedom and others, to come up with the so called The
Link Between Economic Opportunity and Prosperity: The 2009
Index of Economic Freedom. Such index ranked
Hong Kong at the top, while the United States was relegated to the number six
slot
A view of Senator Obama Using a Disgruntled
Homeowner Prism During a recent blogging exchange with Assemblyman Todd Spitzer , he referred to a
particular constituent as a disgruntled member of a homeowners
association. Now, we have heard the term disgruntled employee
regularly in employer-employee spats and usually in whistle blowing
scenarios. We have also hear the term disgruntled resident in the
context of an argument between representatives of a homeowners’ association and
the resident itself. Never from a politician to characterize a
constituent.
A Winning the Future Moment, or Simply: WTF? - Rancho
Santa Margarita, CA – President Obama has ditched the car in the
ditch metaphor and the Hope & Change slogan in lieu of taking the engine
off of an airplane metaphor and Winning the Future slogan
. Critics say that the new metaphor does not work, since the
airplane is heading to China to mortgage future generations of American, when
the airplane has no fuel, while Governor Sarah Palin characterizes the
new slogan as “What Were They Thinking” (WWTT) or in the
vernacular: WTF?
The 2010 Union Voting Guide - Use at your Own Peril - Rancho
Santa Margarita, CA - There is a lot of truth in the old adage that
"we should not judge a book by its cover." But what if we have access
to the Cover, the Table of Contents and the Appendix? Can we get a good idea as
to the contents of the book? In other words, using another adage "tell me
who you associate with and I will tell you who you are?" and applying the
latter to political elections, if we know the candidate's supporters, we should
be able to have a good idea about how that candidate will govern. Take for
instance Van Jones, Reverend Wright, the National Representative of the Nation
of Islam's Louis Farrakhan, the Reverend Al Sharpton, terrorist
William Charles " Bill" Ayers and former White House Chief of Staff
Rahm Emanuel all supporters of candidate Obama. Should this not have been
a good indicator, largely ignored, of the contents of the now Presidential
Book?
The California Air Resources Board acknowledges that "no
direct public health impacts" are expected from Prop 23. The proposition
delays control of greenhouse gas emissions, implicated in global warming. It
delays implementation of AB 32 (the global warming solution), which penalizes
sources of emissions, especially refineries and fossil fuel power sources.
