HOW HAS YOU
BACKGROUND AS AN EDUCATOR PREPARED YOU TO BE CALIFORNIA'S SENATOR?
Under my charge
have been thousands of Californians, each prepared to don the mantel
of citizenship and responsibility to move our state forward. My
students have worked hard, not only to meet California state
standards, but to strive for excellence in an educational environment
often reconciled with mediocre results. It is leadership,vision, and
diligence that have been my trademark for nearly 20 years, working
with the diverse and challenging student population of our great
state. As such, my performance has been scrutinized, challenged, and
evaluated by colleagues and administrators--and always found to be
exemplary. It is the pride I've taken to go the extra mile with my
students that will symbolize my commitment to the citizens of the
golden state.
WHAT MAKES YOUR
ECONOMIC GOALS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE OF YOUR OPPONENTS?
Virtually all of
my opponents are advocates of big government and un-bridled spending.
I am the only one that will pledge to LOWER taxes. If ever there was
a recipe for destroying a state, then it's the present model being
played out in Sacramento. Our "conservative" Republican
governor brought us an unprecedented 30% growth in government that
not even Gray Davis could dream of! The taxpayers are ready to man
the barricades and have had enough. Besides giving us the most
heavily taxed state in the Union, we are the paradigm for the Nanny
State, where the Big Brother government has all the answers. In
order to stem the panicked flight of industry, small businesses, and
high tech companies from our shores to places beyond, we must have an
economic Marshall Plan in place. Only when there is an atmosphere of
business-friendly relations, lower taxes and burdens, giving
companies incentives for bringing their wealth us us, will we be able
to survive.
I will examine and
consider any proposal that will keep the government from
throttling the business community, bringing jobs and opportunities to
our citizens who are thirsting for leadership in these challenging times.
WE'VE CHECKED THE
WEB SITES OF ALL YOUR OPPONENTS, NOT ONE HAS TAKEN A STAND ON ILLEGAL
ALIENS. WHY?
Let me explain: I
have been fortunate enough to have traveled over the entire world,
and speak 5 languages fluently. When it comes to diversity,
ironically, I'm the only candidate that can talk the talk, walk the
walk! When others speak about "diversity", they really mean
anti-Western (anti-American) culture.
Throughout my
travels in Latin America, I learned Spanish fluently. I have, to this
day, dear friends in Mexico with whom I lived, learned, and loved. It
wasn't in the tourist or high-brow areas where I cut my teeth. It was
with the "rancheros", those that lived off the land,
harvested, spread their fishing nets out for subsistence, with whom I
became the man I am today. My love of the Spanish language, of
Mexican culture, is known to many people, and its lifestyle has been
mine for the last 35 years of my life.
This is true
diversity: living together as Americans, different cultures uniting
for one cause, to prosper in the only nation in the world with true
freedoms for the individual, where dreams come true through hard work
and fair play, where the only limitation is our imaginations and the
dedication of our commitment. Each one of us comes from
"somewhere", ultimately. My grandparents came from Russia,
but insisted upon assimilation. ENGLISH. Each of us has a culture, a
language, a different background that will never be erased or
compromised. Yet, for all of us to work together for the good of our
country, there must be a cohesive element that we all buy into for
the sake of the whole. Here they are: our constitution, our Bill of
Rights, and our English language. These are what makes us Americans,
and the loosening of these bonds will eradicate the very glue that
that our American forefathers fought and died for.
I have witnessed
this process taking place in our schools over the last few decades,
unbeknownst to the vast majority of American bread winners, too busy
to survive to pay attention. We, Americans, are now made to feel
guilty for our culture, our ENGLISH LANGUAGE, our flag, the very bond
that sustains and nurtures each of us.
We are witness to
a TRANSFORMATION of our culture by a foreign ideology, not unlike a
foreign invasion, here in California. We are told that "it
really belongs to Mexico," "after all, we're also
foreigners," they tell us. These apologists are a fifth column,
enablers, in the degradation of our state. NOBODY, not one of my
opponents, has the guts to say it like it is, and that is the raisson
d'etre of our campaign, to tell the truth to our fellow Californians.
Worse, and more
tragic, is the pandering of African American candidates to the
blandishments of the illegal aliens and their minions. The thinking
on the street goes like this: our future is with them, since they're
here and coming in all the time anyway. They have turned their backs
on our youth, their jobs, their futures, their physical
safety--for what?
They seek to
sacrifice our state for their own political fortunes. What is it that
makes these African American politicos cower before foreigners that
are here, raping, stealing, and gangbanging in our communities? Is it
"divide and conquer?" Our schools have become
battlegrounds, war zones, where citizens are afraid of getting jumped
for their lunch money by people that should be deported Our own
Jamiel Shaw, academian and star athlete from LA High, was cut down by
a banger that should have been deported. Worse, the Shaw family, in
their quest for justice and recognition from the African American
community for their son, has been marginilized by the African
American politicos. A little too close to the money trail?
I am pledging to
all Californians: I will not countenance the foreign invasion of our
state, neither the degradation of our ENGLISH LANGUAGE on the altar
of "bilingualism."
ONE OF YOUR
OPPONENTS PROPOSES SELECTING JUDGES BASES ON RACE. YOUR FEELINGS ON THIS?
There's a word for
this: RACISM. I don't care what the reason is, nor by whom the
suggestion is put forth, it's always the same. If there are two
judges before me, one blue and one purple, shall I favor the one that
is more like me because of his/her skin color, background? EVERY
RED-BLOODED AMERICAN NEEDS TO RAISE A CRY TO THE HEAVENS THAT WE HAVE
SUCH A POLITICIAN IN OUR STATE!! There is only one criteria that I
will use in selecting any candidate: ARE THEY QUALIFIED? And what
ever happened to the remonstrations of Martin Luther King that we
judge a man based on his character and not on the color of his skin?
This is
outrageous, and I will definitely be making an issue of this in my
campaign. Those racists among us in this election will not be given a pass!
PROPOSITION 8 WAS
PASSED BY AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY (70%) OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN
COMMUNITY. YET YOUR LEADING OPPONENT HAS BEEN GIVEN A 90% VOTER
RATING BY A LEADING LGBT ADVOCACY GROUP. HOW DO YOU FIGURE?
In my nearly 20
years of teaching in South Central LA, I've come to know the parents
of my students well. They are hard-working by and large, and mostly
church going. This is a community that rejects, categorically,
everything that the GLBT proponents stand for. We are witnessing a
"thumbing their nose" by these politicians that insist on
pandering to the same-sex marriage advocates. It won't wash, and the
community needs to made aware of these candidates. It's interesting
to note that while the radical Gay activists worked overtime to trash
the Mormons, defile their crosses, and defile their church for their
support for Prop. 8, this group was nowhere to be seen in the hood.
YOU'VE BECOME A
REGULAR AT 'CEASE FIRE' MEETINGS (GANG INTERVENTION) IN SOUTH CENTRAL
LA. WHY?
From where I sit,
I see a conspiracy to eradicate the African American male. They
comprise 7% of our population, yet make up 29% of inmate population
of our prisons. Between the ages of 20-30, one out of every African
American male will be incarcerated. I will state categorically: THE
AFRICAN AMERICAN POLITICOS ARE INDIFFERENT TO THIS DISASTER AND ONLY
CARE ABOUT BEING RE-ELECTED. There is only one way to save the
African American male, and the hip hoppers and bangers have proven to
be part of the problem, Equally a failure is the African Nationalist
movement, which is basically racist and destructive. The African
American leadership in our state hasn't the courage to insist on
standards, excellence, cleaving to the only language that can
guarantee each of us the way to success, and that is our common
English language. Yes, African American history is important, but we
must not teach it on the back of our American history and knowledge
of our constitution. Herein lies the true liberty and freedom for all
of those "minority" communities (by the way, I'm a minority
in this state). Herein lies the keys, the tools to our own survival
as a community in this great state. The challenges are daunting, but
the promise of communal harmony is the ultimate reward.
WE HEAR ALOT ABOUT
THE VARIOUS PROGRAMS FOR GANG INTERVENTION. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
I belong to an
organization called "Cease Fire." The uneducated person,
upon hearing this name, might think we're dealing with Falluja or
somewhere in Afghanistan. Actually, there are more Americans being
killed on the streets of South Central Los Angeles than abroad. THE
WAR ON TERROR IS HERE, NOW. Everybody is in denial except the
mortician and the bangers themselves.
I am happy to
report that the one good thing I've seen in this city comes from an
entirely locally driven dynamo right here in our community. These are
parents of those who have been slaughtered by the vicious, anonymous,
and ubiquitous forces designed to destroy our culture and cut a swath
into the heart of our nation. Here, ex-criminals, present criminals,
bangers of yesteryear and present wannabes gather, discuss, rant, and
pour out their hearts in an effort to understand the what and why of
life and death.
Young people
coming to AME Bethel want to hear and be heard. Here is the place.
There's no one to judge you, you can speak your peace, and get a warm
round of applause. Acceptance, welcome, and empathy are the orders of
the day.
And yet, the
mentors and committee organizers are clear: there are only two roads,
death or self-discipline.
The choice is
there for everyone. And the consequences of those choices never go away.
We have, according
to LA County law enforcement, over 100,000 active gang members. This
is a large army, well-armed, and their mission is to destroy the
lives of those around them, and cause billions of dollars worth of
damage and resources used to deal with them.
And they are
winning. If this picture weren't bleak enough, among their minions is
a FOREIGN army of bangers from South of the border, who receive
political cover by radical Latino activists and their cronies in city hall.
These miscreants
number approximately 25% of the general prison population. In other
words, YOU, THE TAXPAYER, are paying billions for FOREIGN CRIMINALS
TO BE FED, RECEIVE FREE MEDICAL CARE, AND OF COURSE TREATED WITH SILK
GLOVES BY THE LEFT WING LAWYERS THAT ANSWER TO THEIR EVERY WHIM.
The solution?
Firstly, we must understand that these are predators that will take
us to Hell with them. Once we get used the fact that we are at war,
we must respond. Before we rush for the armory, there is the mental
and emotional boot camp that we must pass. We cannot sustain an
onslaught against our culture, our language, and our institutions. We
are a Christian nation, with a capitalist system. Our system is run
by merit. Winners win, and losers lose. The first person that crosses
a finish line in our system is the winner, and is rewarded. Everyone
else must work harder to catch up. No more dumbing down, no more
pandering to nit-wits and losers who raise their pathetic voices in protest.
Moreover, our
youth must be divested of any traces of "multiculturalism"
and "diversity", or else we cannot survive as a free people.
Love of America,
our individual freedoms, must be foremost. Once these concepts are in
place, then we can deal with the gangs.
