Uncle Izzy Breaks the Law

CA DEM SENATORS VIOLATE FEDERAL LAW IN ATTEMPT TO HURT TRUMP AND CRUZ!

By |Friday, July 10, 2015|
 
CA Democratic State Senators have introduced a resolution (SR 39) calling on the State of California to “Dump Trump”.   But in doing that… they have violated Federal law!
 
Donald Trump has scared some Republicans, and now Democrats are jumping on the media-hyped Trump Stump to Dump Trump.
 
At a boisterous gathering outside the state Senate chamber Thursday, Democratic senators touted a resolution to rebuke Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump for his recent comments about immigrants. (According to the LA TIMES)
 
Wrong. Trump and Cruz have been blasting illegal aliens, people who entered this country illegally, refusing to follow the legal process to become naturalized citizens.
 
The resolution, which has not yet been put to a vote in the Legislature, excoriates Trump for his comments during his June 16th announcement speech. It also denounces Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), another presidential contender, who has come to Trump’s defense.
 
Why is Uncle Izzy going after Donald Trump and Ted Cruz? Neither one of these individuals live in California or have any serious business here. Well, Trump has the golf course in Palos Verdes, but still, where are these state senators politicizing these two GOP candidates?
 
“The state of California will not stand for this type of racist rhetoric and racist behavior,” said Sen. Isadore Hall III (D-Compton), author of the resolution. “Today we stand and call upon the state of California to dump Trump.”
 
Then how come you are engaging in the ongoing discussion? If there is any racism going on, let's start with the Democratic Party's legacy of slavery, secession, segregation, and then socialism.
 
The measure asks the state to divest from, and otherwise cut business ties with, Trump-affiliated entities. It encourages private companies and individuals to do the same.
 
California's pension funds are going under, with hundreds of billions of dollars in unfunded liabilities. Nevertheless, the Democratic legislature is going out of its way to divest investments and funds from politically volatile sources. What more do they want to do? It appears that Democratic legislators do not oppose bankrupting the entire state, provided that the unions bankroll their campaigns and back up their retirement.
 
Then GameChanger brings up a telling concern in light of this divestment push:
 
However in doing so those Democratic Party Senators have violated US Federal Law, specifically: 18 USC § 241 which states: 
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or

If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—

They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both
So, by introducing the resolution they are conspiring “to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate” Donald Trump “because of his having so exercised”  his right to free speech which is “secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States”.
 
Indeed, most Democrats have a problem with free speech, when it freely criticizes their bad ideas and inimical policies.
 
And the “two or more persons” part is taken care of because 10 CA State Senators are sponsoring the bill:
 Senators Hall, De León, Galgiani, Glazer, Hueso, Jackson, Lara, Mendoza, Mitchell, and Pan.

 
Of course, Democratic state senators breaking the law is nothing new. Four of them were arrested, indicted, and convicted for public integrity crimes last year. Uncle Izzy would not be in office today if Roderick Wright had obeyed the law and lived in the district he claimed to have represented. Ben Hueso was arrested in a DUI charge last year, too. Senator Pan was also targeted for perjury and voter fraud because of his residents supposedly outside of his Sacramento-area district.
 
This is not to be confused with the respective Senator’s right to free speech because they are introducing a resolution in the State Legislature specifically designed to harm Mr. Trump.  Had the Senators simply released a statement of disapproval, or sent out a press release saying that they thought he was wrong for saying what he did, then the Senators would not be in violation of the law.
Senate Republican leader Bob Huff (R-San Dimas) issued a statement saying that Trump’s comments were “offensive” but that the resolution, SR 39, was unnecessary.
 
Republican Senator minority leader Bob Huff has to walk one of the thinnest lines imaginable in California politics. As the GOP state senate minority leader, he has to serve as vocal opposition to the Democratic Machine, yet at the same time not fall into the media traps which permit the press to lambaste and shame the minority state party as a backwater of alienated ideologies.
 
“Using state resources to protest the inappropriate statements from politicians on either side of the aisle or around the country is a waste of taxpayer dollars and only draws attention to those politicians who are trying to grab headlines,” Huff said.
 
Thank you, Senator Huff. What a waste indeed. Focusing on this fiscal impact is crucial for Republicans to take back this state and put it on the right track.
 
Mr. Huff did not mention the fact that the 10 Democratic Party Senators violated federal law.
We at Game Changer PAC have not endorsed any candidate for the 2016 presidential race thus far.   And while we do believe that Mr. Trump’s comments did offend many people and thus were insensitive and in desperate need of some political polish , he has the absolute right to say what he did.
 
That being said, Senators Hall, De León, Galgiani, Glazer, Hueso, Jackson, Lara, Mendoza, Mitchell, and Pan do not have the right to do what they are doing in response.  What they are doing is , in fact, a crime.
 
Uncle Izzy is breaking the law, and has a record already of staffers using campaign dollars for questionable purposes.
 
Don't the residents from San Pedro to South Gate deserve better than political coronations? They certainly deserve representatives who obey the law and do not threaten to curtail free speech - and thus break the law.
