OC for Trump: Good Report for Election 2018 in California

A few observations (of my own and what other booth staffers said) at the Orange International Street Fair:

I did a 5 hour stint on Saturday at the Fair and helped take down the booth Sunday night. 

In addition to the “Trump Accomplishments” and “Dem’s bills out of Sacramento” poster/handouts (I'm attaching those, for those of you I didn't already send to, use if you want-in color & B&W-I compiled the lists-Stella & Janet edited & Stella formatted), we also had a sheet with endorsements and Prop recommendations on candidates and propositions from the Rs (after an update on it, I’ll send it around). I brought, altogether, 450 copies (double sided of the ‘poster info’) and there were only about 50 left over. People were really interested in BOTH handouts!

Overall, the crowd was more ‘mellow’-we had very FEW negative comments from passersby-especially compared to last year. Met some RABID Trump supporters, of ALL ages ! One guy said he wished Trump wouldn’t tweet—I said with the way the media is, if he didn’t tweet, we wouldn’t know what was happening  AND no matter what, you have to look at what he’s accomplished—he agreed! The phrase “Trump keeps his promises” REALLY resonates well!!

There were 3 young staffers from Royce’s office-they helped directing people to the booth-they were great—I told them of our many rallies at Royce’s office. I was told that other official’s office were contacted but didn’t send anyone to help at the Fair.

I pushed Meuser/Bailey/Roditis, saying they did well in the Primaries and we have a chance if we get everyone out to vote. I couldn’t really promote Poisner—not a Rep—but I said most those bills on the poster were written by Ricardo Lara—we MUST defeat him in November. 

We had a number of Democrats wanting to get info—they are fed up with things like the train and gas tax and illegal immigration issues. I keep saying that the “traditional” Dems HAVE to be sick of what’s going on in their Party!

NO ONE knew about Mueser’s 5,000 mile bike ride—see below for the little display I made (I was in a hurry making it—had it all affixed/taped and Darrell noticed the big sign behind Mueser in the picture had the first few letters of his name cut off—I hadn’t intended that, of course—and what was left read “USER”! Too late to re-do—so I stuck the campaign pin over that area!) People were SO impressed with his feat---WISH we could have had some media coverage!

All in all—I really think there’s HOPE to get at least a few important seats: (SofS/AG/Controller/InsComm)!!!!

Travis Allen: Time for New Leadership--Time to Flip California Red

IT'S TIME FOR NEW REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP:  "The people in California are furious at the cap-and-trade tax vote."- Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach) LA Times By:  Melanie Mason and Patrick McGreevy July 20, 2017 Under pressure from some party activists to step down, Assembly Republican leader Chad Mayes of Yucca Valley met with his caucus for more than an hour Thursday and emerged saying he remains its leader.  “It’s all good. ... I'm the leader,” Mayes told reporters after the closed session meeting.  The unscheduled gathering of the 25-member Assembly Republican Caucus is not expected to relieve pressure on the leader who has been criticized for standing with Gov. Jerry Brown as he and six other Assembly Republicans voted to extend California’s cap-and-trade program. Harmeet Dhillon, a member of the Republican National Committee, had called Wednesday night for Mayes to be replaced. She said she had support from enough members of the California Republican Party board to conduct an emergency meeting by phone, but that Mayes called the caucus before it could happen. Dhillon said she would bring the matter before the board during the next month, rather than hold an emergency recommendation that Mayes be replaced.   Dhillon said there were “a number of legislators” who had told her they wanted to vote Mayes out of the leadership role, but that by calling a quick meeting, Mayes acted before any challengers could muster the votes.  “I think it’s a weak move,” she said of Mayes forcing an early choice. “What eventually happens is leaders who vote against the interests of their caucus and who take a minority vote like that and present that that’s the party’s position, they lose their leadership position. I’m going to keep campaigning for him to lose it.”  The Assembly heads out on a month long vacation Friday and Dhillon said the matter will be revived when lawmakers return.  Most Republicans opposed extending the program, which requires oil companies and others to purchase permits to emit greenhouse gases. Republican lawmakers cited independent studies that the program could eventually increase the cost of gas by 73 cents per gallon. “The people I’ve talked to in California are furious at the cap-and-trade vote,” said Assemblyman Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach) on Wednesday. “They feel betrayed by their elected officials that were sent to represent them.”  RECENT PRESS  Canada Free Press: Flip California, says Travis Allen, Candidate for Governor LA Times: Republican David Hadley drops out of California’s Governor’s race two weeks after entering   Breibart News: Travis Allen Blasts Cap and Trade for Rising Gas Prices   Politico: California Republicans Sweat Trump Effect   New York Time: Bringing Tax Anger to the Governor’s Race LA Times: Conservative assemblyman joins governor's race SacBee: A conservative lawmaker is running for California governor OC Weekly: Huntington Beach Assemblyman Travis Allen is Running for Governor CBS Sacramento: Republican Joins 2018 Race for Governor The Charlotte Observer: Republican Assemblyman to run for California governor
