Shameful! RPLAC Refused to Take Gas Tax Repeal Literature (Major CYA Followed)

The Republican Party of Los Angeles County Central Committee is a RINO-infested mess.

The leadership revoked the charter for two volunteer clubs:

1. The Beach Cities Republicans

2. The Mountain View Republican Club

The reasons?

Our clubs were actively conservative, pro-Trump.

I had invited Latinos for Trump founder Marco Gutierrez to speak to our club, and the leadership of the local central committee told me to cancel the meeting. She even called my work to try and convince my boss to get me to cancel the meeting.

Corrupt and illegal.

The central committee recently exposed how not just out of touch, but unwilling and uninterested they were in helping the conservative cause in the state of California.

The John and Ken Show interviewed Carl DeMaio, and he exposed that the RPLAC Central Committee blew off De Maio and the Yes on Prop 6 campaign.

I am not surprised that they would blow off any interest in doing something worthwhile for any Republicans in Los Angeles County or even throughout the state of California.

Disappointing, but not uprisings.

Outraged, I shot off a heated letter to the RPLAC "leadership":

Shame on You!! You Must Help Effort to Distribute Yes on Prop 6 Signs

Dear RINO Los Angeles Central Committee:

CC: Richard Sherman:

You guys are absolutely terrible.

You won't raise money.

You don't help with efforts to get candidates elected.

You take away charters for working GOP groups that actually do stuff.

Now you won't even help distribute Yes on Prop 6 signs?

You need to reverse course and help, or you need to resign!

Carl DeMaio on John & Ken - 8/17/18 www.youtube.com

I had send this email through blind carbon copy to other conservatives, including club leaders, in Los Angeles County.

Claude Todoroff, the President of the Torrance-Lomita Republican Assembly, wrote in response:

Thank you so much for that video. Somebody at the TLRA B-B-Q told me yesterday about the county party no supporting the Gas Tax Repeal. I have to say I was stunned but not really surprised. This is the proof that we needed to hear that the L.A. County GOP is not in our corner but stands with Gov. Moonbeam. Yesterday I wrote you that the LA County GOP needs to lead, follow or get out of the way. Forget that. It is now clear they need to just get out of the way because the GOP base will not stand for this type of betrayal. You can't spin this. Richard Sherman and his LA County GOP team have sold us out and they need to resign ASAP. All they will do is lead us down the road to another wipe out defeat like in 2016.

To all who are blind copied on this e-mail please call the county party in Encino and demand they all resign immediately. The number is  818-558-7600. With such incompetent and perhaps corrupt leadership it should be no surprise our hard working candidates and volunteers get defeated. The GOP is now the party of Pres. Donald Trump and we have to do like he does and tell the leadership of the LA County GOP "YOU'RE FIRED".

Please forward this to all your contacts and have them demand new leadership now for the L.A. County GOP. They aren't even RINOs anymore but the lackey of Gov. Moonbeam and the Democrats. Don't let them weasel out with some poor excuse that this was an error or something else really lame. Even if they now take the signs and other literature we still can't be sure that they are 100% on board or just doing it to keep the exit door from hitting them in their stupid buttocks. If they were truly on board, this sell-out would never have happened. They can never be trusted again.

Claude

The next day, I received this #CYA email from RPLAC Treasurer Gary SCAM-inoff:

Claude and Arthur,

What Carl said on John & Ken is not true.  It was a big miscommunication. Of course the LAGOP supports the repeal of the gas tax.  Carl is going to correct what he said.  If you want more details call me.

This has a wonderful name: CYA, i.e. "Cover Your Ass"

And it's fitting, since the leadership of RPLAC are acting like Donkey Democrats, not Red Republicans.

Claude's response was fitting:

Gary,

I want to hear it from Carl and until I hear that from Carl I'm not buying "miscommunication". We have seen the disloyalty of LACGOP on numerous occasions so don't hold it against me if I am skeptical.

Claude

Here's what RPLAC posted on its practically non-existent Facebook Page:

Here's the full "Excuse"

Here is what happened with the YES on 6 Signs:

First of all, let me say that of course the LAGOP supports the repeal of the gas tax, and supports the YES ON 6 group, and has from the beginning.

The LAGOP offices are on the fifth floor of a high-rise security building. We have two small rooms which are overcrowded as is. It is a security building, which means you have to check in with the security guard in the lobby before coming up, and if you park in the building the parking rates are outrageous.

Because of all these conditions, the offices of the LAGOP are not suited for distribution of signs. Volunteers will wind up paying $5-$10 for parking and will have difficulty getting up to the offices. Additionally, we just don’t have the room for signs.

Last week a driver showed up with 1,000 signs, without prior notice and left them in the hallway because they were too many to get into the office. Our Executive Director called the County Party Chairman who explained to the driver that the offices of the LAGOP are not suitable for distributing 1,000 signs, and that we have 14 other locations in LA County where signs are being distributed for YES ON 6.

The driver went back and without reporting the details or reasons, stated that LAGOP had refused to distribute signs, which was totally inaccurate. Whoever reported to Carl DeMaio just reported that the LAGOP had refused to distribute signs. That is why Carl said what he said on the John and Ken show on Friday.

Carl has now been informed as to what the real story is and sent out the following tweet this morning. He is going on the John and Ken show on Friday to explain what happened.

There is nothing which suggests that it is a matter of course for the Republican Party of Los Angeles County to support the repeal of the gas tax. There is nothing to justify or to censure this sentiment.

If the building is as secure as they claim, then how did Carl end up providing the signs in the first place? "There wasn't enough room for the signs." Sure, whatever you say, buddy.

This is a load of garbage, no matter how one looks at it. By the way ... how come the County GOP office is in such a high rise to begin with? Is it that they are hiding something? Are they trying to avoid any kind of connection or with the public?

How is it possible that there would be so much miscommunication? There is a lot more to this mess than has been reported, as usual. I have emails from SCAM-inoff, in which he reports that the RPLAC revoked the charter of the Beach Cities Republicans for other reasons, not the ones stated to the public. 

The RPLAC leadership have a habit of lying, of hiding the truth, of dishonoring the base in the county. There is no reason why anyone should believe anything that they say.

Final Reflection

I never thought I would see the day that the corrupt RINO central committee would get shredded in such a public fashion. I will be honest: it was quite gratifying and liberating to see these corrupt liars getting raked over their feckless laziness.

More to come!

Updated:

De Maio got what he needed from Gary, but it took an epic media onslaught to get something happening:

I'm pleased that the Treasurer of the @RPLAC this morning has stepped in to commit his county party's help on Yes on Prop 6 and serve as a better point of contact from now on. We look forward to their help in our LA-area events to Get-Out-The-Vote for reformers! @johnandkenshow

Of course, the massive pressure from Carl De Maio is exactly what it took for RINO-PLAC to do anything!

Other Takeaways from California Primary: Big Losses for RINO New Majority

The Election 2018 California primary was filled with victories for conservatives and residents of all backgrounds.

The recall succeeded, and the Democrats have lost their supermajority for good in the state senate as well as in the State Assembly.

None of the Democratic candidates for Congress had a huge victory. In fact, many of them barely made it into the Top two. In five of the top seven seats targeted by the DCCC, the Republican incumbent won a higher vote than all the other candidates combined, including in Orange County.

There's another set of victories, however, for California's conservatives which no one should overlook.

 The New Majority PAC, the liberal interest group headed by anti-conservative Andy Gharakani and Gary Aminoff (also known as SCAM-inoff), the same interest group which helped kill of the Los Angeles County GOP Central Committee, endured another set of losses on Primary Day, too.

Any Gharakani, aka Gimme-Kandy or Gimme-Gimme, returned to his usual tactics of backing RINOs and liberal candidates for office, in the vain hopes that the vapid Republican Party of Los Angeles County central committee will have relevance again under his failed leadership.

RPLAC RINOs with Cheating Chad Mayes

Let's not kid ourselves. Richard Sherman is not in charge of anything in Los Angeles County. He is an empty suit who does whatever Big Money Andy tells him to. He has also pressured members of different central committees within the county not to appoint different members since he wants to avoid controversy at all costs.

Let's look at the list of failures for the RINO New Majority Establishment, especially in Los Angeles County.

1. Steve Bailey advanced to the Attorney General race run-off against Xavier Becerra instead of Gimme-Gimme's pick Eric Early.

Special thanks to Steve Frank of Simi Valley for getting the word out on Early. I knew "early" on that I didn't want that guy as our nominee, since he was Andy Gharakani's hand-picked candidate. Then the news hit the delegate list that Early had donated big money to Democrats and liberal Republicans in other races.

That clinched the nomination and party endorsement for Steve Bailey, a retired lawyer and judge from Modoc County who earned 25% of the vote on primary day having raised a paltry $400,000. That's incredible!

2. Omar Navarro won the primary to challenge Maxine Waters for CD-43 in the general election.

From the very beginning, Andy Gimme-Gimme and Gary SCAM-inoff went to work to scuttle Omar Navarro's chances to challenge Maxine Waters a second time for Congress.

Gary "Omar Derangement Syndrome" Aminoff

I can't believe the level of Omar Derangement syndrome they suffer with. It's almost as bad as Trump Derangement Syndrome!

Aminoff went out of his way to dissuade Roger Stone from helping Omar Navarro, for example. He even sent a letter endorsing racist "Black Lives Don't Matter" wannabe Candace Camper for Congress instead.

Not only didn't Candace bother to run (she has no money, and she even got evicted from her apartment, according to one source), but Omar defeated two other Republican candidates for the bid as well as a Green Party candidate.

See you in November, Omar!

3. Rocky the RINO got knocked out early in his abotive bid for Congress.

This is a delicious victory for outraged California Conservatives who have dealt with liberal betrayal over and over again from the state and county parties.

Rocky the RINO voted for Cap and Trade, he supported Xavier Becerra's appointment as California Attorney General, and he voted to allow illegal aliens to get Medi-Cal!

Also, he's a beloved prop of New Majority CA--and he lost big time.

Bye-Bye Rocky the RINO!

BURN IT DOWN: RPLAC Goes Bust,"Spell Check" Maruca Leaves

Controlled failure has become the norm for the California Republican Party.

There is no clearer example of this than the Republican Party of Los Angeles County.

Instead of supporting volunteer clubs, the Executive Board spent more time undermining them. They attacked the Mountain View Republican Club because they wouldn't play ball with RINO Kash-N-Kari, who was a total liberal on every issue that mattered. Yes, he did a great job vocalizing the widespreading corruption with teachers unions, but other than that he spent more time kicking Republicans in the face and doing everything to pretty much hand the re-election bid back to Jerry Brown.

Then there was the whole Beach Cities Republicans debacle. The corrupt Central Committee leadership, including Janice "Caught in a" Webb along with Gary SCAM-inoff and his live-in for-hire girlfriend Maureen Johnson. (Did you leave your car at that Marina Del Rey bar again, Maureen baby?!).

Of course, there's the new County Chairman, Richard "Do Nothing" Sherman along with Andy Gimme-Candy, the New Permanent Minority leader who doesn't care about the needs of voters or business owners, many of whom are simply fleeing California.

Now comes the next blow to this corrupt enterprise.

The overpaid personal secretary for the empty RPLAC enterprise, Jason "Spell Check" Maruca is leaving the herd.

Here's the latest eblast from RPLAC:

It is with sadness that I write to inform our membership, that our Executive Director for the past four and a half years, Jason Maruca, will be leaving RPLAC to pursue other opportunities in the world of politics.  Jason has been an invaluable member of our team, and played a significant role in turning RPLAC into a credible political organization. With so many diverse regions, issues, campaigns and personalities, organizing such a large political operation was no easy task, and Jason played a major role in creating a fully functioning county party, focused on winning elections.  We will have an announcement shortly regarding the RPLAC team moving forward. Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible. We all owe Jason a debt of gratitude for his tireless efforts on behalf of RPLAC. We wish him great success in all his future endeavors! Thank you all. Richard Hi My name is "Munger Puppet" Except Munger just took his hand out of my a----" Richard Sherman Chairman Republican Party of Los Angeles County

Well isn't that something?!

"Hookt on Fonix werkt for mee!"

Jason Maruca is moving on.

Why, though?

Because Chuckles Munger Jr. has cut off all the money.

He isn't paying for the overhead anymore for the overpaid, costly hotel rooms where the useless Central Committee used to hold their monthly Executive Committee meetings.

How about that?!

Big Money has pretty much worked over everyone in Los Angeles County. Did the liberal Establishment fools really think that bending over for liberal loonies and the Big Money RINOs like Charles Munger Jr.s was going to work out for them in the end? Wow, they sure got played didn't they!

Ha Ha!

Munger cut off the money, and now they have nothing left! That's what you get, folks, when you dishonor your base and lie to the public about hard-working conservatives who want to Make California Great Again and stop the political corruption eating away at this entire state.

Then again, though, what's the point of trying to sell people on our brand when our own party is just as corrupt?!

RINO-PLAC Not Fighting Cheating Chad: SCAM-inoff Makes Excuses

The Republican Party of Los Angeles County needs to sober up with new leadership, or just shut itself down.

For the past three months, grassroots Republicans throughout the state have hammered Cheating Chad Mayes and his fellow GOP traitors for their Cap and Trade vote.

We confronted the staffers in Marc Steinorth's office a few weeks ago, and instead of meeting with the assemblyman, 25 California Highway Patrolmen swarmed the district office parking lot.

Incredible.

Not only that, but other staffers have been slamming the phones on people, shutting off the emails, or finding other ways to dismiss the growing outrage from grassroots Republicans who are tired of being deceived and betrayed.

I have been blasting the RPLAC Central Committee, wondering when they will take up some kind of vote to censure Chad Mayes and demand his removal as Assembly Minority Leader.

Here's the tepid, pathetic response I received from RPLAC Treasurer Gary SCAM-inoff:

I am still demanding that @RPLAC stop being silent and Demand @ChadMayesCA step down! @aminoff @hhakes #RichardSherman #StopHiding @PressGop https://t.co/2SRXqlEAGW

— Arthur C. Schaper (@ArthurCSchaper) August 21, 2017

Really?

The next executive committee meeting takes place in September, so the Central Committee is going to sit on its hands, close their eyes, ears, and mouth, then do nothing.

What a sham.

The Sacramento County GOP executive board held an emergency meeting to draft a resolution against Mayes. What's holding the Los Angeles County central committees from doing the same?

They took the time to revoke the charter for the largest volunteer club in Los Angeles County, but they can't take on the corrupt Chad Mayes and his Cap and Betrayal?

We know where their priorities lie, don't we?

CAGOP Central Committees Demand Mayes' Ouster, Except RINO-PLAC (No Surprise)

American Children First Founder Joseph Turner assembled an incredible list of contacts and information from different Republican groups throughout the state of California.

Check out how many state Central Committees have demand that Cheating Chad Mayes, the Assembly Permanent Minority Leader, step down for orchestrating the corrupt and harmful Cap and Trade "compromise" which is hurting and will further damage the disintegrating middle class in California.

Several county central committees are now getting on board. Here is the list with links to the letters:

• Orange County Central Committee
• San Diego C​ounty Central Committee
• Fresno County Central Committee
• Merced County Central Committee
• Madera County Central Committee
• San Luis Obispo County Central Committee
• Mariposa County Central Committee
• Tulare County Central Commitee

Turner points out that Riverside and San Bernardino Counties are missing from this list.

What we see is the very bad, very frustrating politics within politics which has hurt Republican chances for growth and opportunity in California.

Turner reports:

The Riverside County Central Committee voted to summon Assemblyman Mayes to the next meeting for an explanation before voting on a resolution calling for his resignation. Apparently, several members of the body were unaware of this new thing called the Internet where one can listen and hear the reasons Mayes gave for his vote.

The San Bernardino County Central Committee, chaired by Jan Leja, has been silent thus far. Reports suggest that they have cancelled the meeting to protect Mayes and Marc Steinorth (Rancho Cucamonga) from being confronted for their votes.'

Strangely, though, San Diego Central Committee slammed Mayes, and one of the other Cap-n-Traitors was North San Diego County Assemblyman Rocky Chavez. There is no reason not excuse to cover for any elected official.

Of course, another county is specifically missing from this growing list of central committees demanding Mayes' resignation:

The Republican Party of Los Angeles County

It's crystal clear that the RINOs are currently running things in some of the larger counties in California. What a shame.

The RINO-PLAC executive leaders have no interest in taking any kind of lead on anything. They have no regard for the rule of law. They have no interest in fighting for any kind of values, either.

Is it any surprise that Republicans continue to lose ground in the most populous county in the state?

Shame on Chairman Richard Sherman! Don't conservatives deserve something better, more robust than the flabby status quo?

 But then again, maybe we shouldn't be surprised to begin with:

The crash of New Majority RINOs
They like sellouts like Mayes.

And let's not forget what constitutes current "leadership" in Los Angeles GOP circles:

RINO-PLAC Chairman
Richard "Do Nothing" Sherman

Gary SCAM-inoff

Janice the Webb

RINO-PLAC Targets Ex Officios in Central Committees (Like Omar Navarro)

RINO-PLAC is hell-bent on getting rid of anyone and anything that stands in the way of true conservative hope and change in Los Angeles County.

Now the RINOs have altered their by-laws again--the same by-laws which they gleefully ignored--in order to get rid of more sordid elements within the entire Central Committtee.

Here are the two changes reported to me:

1. They have amended the by-laws in order to justify getting rid of Ex-Officio members.

2. Hasten the right to get rid of Central Committee members if they are working with "hostile organizations", aka The Beach Cities Republicans, individuals groups and volunterer organizations which are committed to winning rather than losing with little fanfare.

What is really going on with this latest move?

One thing is for sure--they are targeting Omar Navarro, an Ex-Officio member of the 66th-AD Central Committee.

He is outspoken and conservative.

He has not been afraid to call out the corruption of the Republican Party of Los Angeles County Central Committee.

They also do not like that he is the First Vice-President of the Beach Cities Republicans.

In fact, before the November electon last year, Executive Director (and serial misspeller) Jason Maruca tried to induce Navarro to run for Beach Cities Republicans President in order to get rid of me.

Navarro refused to do that.

And now they want to get rid of him from the 66th AD Central Committee!

Don't let them get away with it!

Contact the RPLAC leadership--and let them know that their ship of influence is sinking--FAST!
