Brian Dahle for Congress (?)

Brian Dahle

Let's face some hard facts:

California State Senate Minority Brian Dahle is not going to be the next governor of California. The voters turned down a recall effort against incumbent Governor Gavin Newoms last year by 2-to-1. It was just so discouraging. Newsom has the backing of very major political interest, and the woke cult has such a stronghold on so many voters in the state.

So, why is Dahle running for Governor?

He is propping up his bid for higher office, i.e. Congress, when CA-01 House Rep. Doug LaMalfa resigns, retires, etc., or Dahle will go after a seat on the Board of Equalization once Ted Gaines terms out.

That's what swampy Republicans in the California State Legislature do. They are not interested in saving the state. Most of them do not speak up to stop bad legislation during the legislative session, even. They make no efforts to improve the well-being and quality of life for California residents. They don't care because they don't have to. They show up, cast their votes, collect their paycheck, then prep for higher office or local office or set up their consulting firms once they term out.

They are looking to hold onto whatever political power is available to them or make whatever money they can, including running for whatever higher office may be available to them in the near future.

How has the Dahle for Governor campaign spent its money?

Campaign Consultant Josh Cook  $115,000  (Cook is also the Senator Dahle Chief of Staff)

The consultant gets 10% of campaign take. Wow!

Slate cards    $256,000

Where does he plan on sending the slates? Orange County?

Other consultants:

Matt Shupe (Contra Costa GOP Chair)  $7500

Call to Action Consulting (a Redding firm)  $10,000

Fortune Masters Group—also from Redding    $10,000

Farah Farr Consulting   $7421

Janessa Zimmerman   $5500

You have five other consultants listed. FIVE! What's this all about?

It's all about feathering the nests of the permanent minority of failure that runs the CAGOP.

Notice again how consultants have taken over as chairmen for key committees throughout the state. The activists and the grassroots voters do not run things in the California GOP. It's all run by a receding number of well-connected political technicians and wonks who just want to cash a check. They don't care about California. They don't care about the voters. They only care about their nest-egg and their next real estate investment (or the next campaign gig, or they next bid for higher office, etc.)

Julie Haff—LAGOP Treasurer/Executive Director   $4500

Lo and behold, even the Los Angeles County GOP is moving in on the money, too! Now we know how they are managing to keep the lights on for the otherwise abandoned LAGOP Central Committee.

I have looked at Republican State Party programs, platforms, and apparatus in the other states, and it just excites me and depresses me all at once. Florida, Iowa, even Rhode Island and Maine, have active state parties that are looking forward to taking back territory and winning seats in the state legislature or Congress!

And what about California? It's just a sad decline of excuses and corporate payoffs. A handful of people get rich, and the rest of the state suffers. It's almost as though the Democrats have fully infiltrating the California Republican Party to ensure nothing but controlled opposition comes out of them.

Brian Dahle is running for Congress or the Board of Equalization down the line, and in the meantime he is propping up a host of consultants and campaign vendors to keep them happy, so that he can take advantage of them for his next political push. What a let-down.

Further Reflections on the Aftermath of Recall 2021



I want to thank you for inviting me to the Zoom meeting discussion last Thursday.

I was tired that night, so I signed out of the meeting about halfway through.

 

A couple observations:

  1. Time management is key! Allowing people to introduce themselves for any amount of time just sucks up all the energy in the room. People should get ten seconds to introduce themselves, TOPS! It can be: "Say your name. Say your organization." That's all.
  2. Getting a group of leaders for different activist organizations is a losing strategy. Everyone has different interests that they are focusing on, and inevitably, people are going to be pulled more towards fighting their core issues. Also, getting lots of people together in a Zoom call to talk about how everything is falling apart in the state is not going to get anything done. It never does. It's better to focus on accomplishing key outcomes in your local area.
  3. I know that many of you have said: "I'm tired of losing." Here's the thing when it comes to this 2021 recall: we did not lose. The voters of the state of California who kept Newsom in power, they are the losers. We have done our part as much as we could, and yet there is such a brainwashed cult in this state. It's not our fault. It's their fault. We need to adjust our attitude about all of this. It's not our fault, and we are not the losers. Simple as that.
  4. I do believe that voter fraud plays a role in every election. I believe that it was voter fraud that took the seven house seats away from Republicans in California in 2018. However, when it comes to the recall in 2021, voter fraud is not enough to explain the why disparity of voters who actually decided to let Gavin keep his job. There were even Republicans who voted NO on the recall because it was so close to the 2022 election! SAD, but true. The fact is that this state is filled with voters who are in bondage to the Cult of Progressive Woke Nonsense.
  5. I have become more disenchanted with political party politics in general. The only way that voters will be mobilized and effective is if everyone focuses on issues. Parents in the South Bay section of Los Angeles County are rallying quite effectively against mask and vaccine mandates by focusing on those issues, not getting into party politics, who voted for whom for President, Governor, etc. MassResistance has been making the difference because we focus on fighting LGBT perversion. That's my two cents.

 

I must say that in spite of this dreaded failure with the recall, I am now more optimistic than ever. I have stopped beating my head against a wall when it comes to trying to achieve electoral outcomes. Sadly, we are at a point where elections are not enough. People need to engage in targeted, effective MASSRESISTANCE, i.e. civil disobedience. Gandhi didn't force out the British Empire through the vote. MLK did not end segregation in the South via the vote.

 

It's time for MASSRESISTANCE.

Save California Update: This is a War (Without Guns and Knives)

Hi Arthur,

This is one of the most important messages I've ever written. I hope you'll read it!
Will Gavin Newsom be replaced by another Democrat?

Looks at this August 26-29 Trafalgar Group poll of more than a thousand likely California voters. For Question 2 in the Gavin Newsom Recall Election, it shows a potentially close race between Republican frontrunner Larry Elder and Democrat Kevin Paffrath.

This is from one of the most accurate U.S. pollsters. And while the poll mistakenly left out Kevin Kiley, that still doesn't change the big math problem for conservatives. Because with the way California conservatives are splitting their votes between several Republican candidates, I wouldn't be surprised to see Democrat voters surge and cast more votes for the leading Democrat than conservatives' votes for the leading Republican.

This is why I'm urging California conservatives to do three things right now, as the September 14 voting deadline looms:

  1. Note which candidates can win
  2. See the public policy positions of the front-runner candidates at SaveCalifornia.com
  3. Vote and get others to vote like you (use email, social media, flyers on cars, etc.)

SaveCalifornia.com's research has found none of the candidates showing up in the several recall polls to be consistent, constitutional conservatives. However, there are definitely "mostly conservative" and "liberal Republican" candidates running. See them

So, without telling you who to vote for, if you want conservative values to win, you'll want to support the mostly-conservative front-runner. Or else conservative votes will be split, and a Democrat could replace a Democrat (if most voters vote "yes" to recall Newsom).
It's a real war without guns and knives

This week I was walking to my car in a large parking lot and saw an older lady standing by her car waiting. She had a face mask drooping under her neck, so I tried to encourage her by saying, "Good to see you breathing freely!" And that started a conversation.

"I'm sick of wearing this mask," she said. "And I'm fully vaccinated!" And in the next few minutes, I was able to educate her on mask inefficiency, how natural immunity occurs and how viruses naturally burn out, how the "variants" are caused by vaccines, and how the government mandates are dehumanizing and evil. She said, "It seems endless." I told her, "It'll end when people stop complying."

And what I told her I'll tell you: Don't comply with tyranny, and encourage others to break free from it. Employees threatened by the risky "jab" that has killed tens of thousands and injured millions must submit their requests for religious exemptions. Small business owners must defy county mask mandates (which are largely unenforced by "authorities"). Residents of mask-mandating counties must walk into businesses without masks, whether with or without declaring an exemption. We must remind ourselves and others what true freedom (our God-given liberties) looks like. Because when we do, the deceptive power of tyranny dissipates, and we realize fighting for freedom was mainly about overcoming our own fears and fleshiness.

Take a lesson from history. The freedom fighters of World War II -- like the French Resistance pictured above -- won their freedom because they were willing to endure pain and even death. When we endure people's ridicule and opposition, or endure government's warnings and fines, we both fight for freedom and strengthen our characters. And the need is great. We must see our current struggle as a real war without guns or knives. The Tyrannical Left wants to dehumanize you and take everything from you. This is diabolical evil that King Jesus, our U.S. Constitution, and you and I oppose. Let's redouble our efforts to defy tyranny this weekend, next week, and this entire month!


Again, the masks, tests, and jabs are ineffectual and completely unnecessary, and are hurting children most of all. Currently, hospitals are falsely labeling as a "Covid deaths" people who die from influenza or who die with some type of Covid infection. And still, the California death rate for Covid is quickly returning to 1 in 5 million (0.02 deaths per 100,000 infections) and 1 in 10 million (0.01 deaths per 100,000 infections).

This "zero Covid" agenda is so unrealistic. Since you have a much higher chance of dying from eating, walking, driving, or being struck by lightning, if we believe in masks, tests, jabs, and passports now, why didn't we do this for decades of flus and common colds, and why in the world do we still permit people to eat, walk, and drive? I'm being sarcastic to make a point to overcome this devilish insanity. Because we're either free and "live with" infections of all types, or we're slaves who let our "authorities" restrict us in all ways because of their "zero infection" goal, turning entire societies into "hospitals." Don't buy into their lie -- break free from it!
This State of California Covid dashboard graph of "Covid deaths" spans March 2020 on the left to September 2021 on the right. You can see we are quickly returning to the lowest level seen this summer, which has been 0.01 and 0.02 deaths per 100,000 infections (which means an individual Californian has a 1 in 5 million or 1 in 10 million chance of dying from a Covid-related infection). This is nothing to be afraid of, and it's no justification for mandatory masks, tests, and jabs. For you have a greater chance of being crushed to death by your furniture, TV, or refrigerator. Are any of these keeping you up at night?
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Equality California Panicking about California Recall

 

Arthur,

CBS News just published a brand new poll for the Republican Recall in California… and it’s NOT looking good:

CBS News / YouGov Poll

“Will you definitely vote in this recall election?”

Trump 2020 Voters: 86% YES
Biden 2020 Voters: 75% YES

Trump voters are more than 10% MORE likely to vote in this recall than Biden voters.

That’s why Equality California is launching a massive statewide get-out-the-vote campaign to mobilize pro-equality voters ahead of this Republican Recall.

We need grassroots funders! Will you donate $15 (or more!) today to power this GOTV campaign?

 
 
 

This is a critical moment for California, Arthur. In 2003, apathy from progressive voters allowed a Democratic governor to be recalled -- for only the second time in US history.

We’re not about to let history repeat itself this year.

Because if we lose this recall vote, we could get a governor who:

  1. Has a vile history of opposing LGBTQ+ equality;
  2. Wants to ban mask mandates and is proudly anti-vaccine;
  3. Supports gutting the minimum wage, gun regulations and Roe v. Wade.

The stakes are high -- and we’re leaving NOTHING on the table. Let’s not wake up on September 15th with any regrets.

Donate whatever you can to help us turn out pro-equality voters NOW:

We can win this, together.

Good News: Equality California is Panicking about "Republican" Recall of Gavin Newsom

Equality California is the premier hate group in the Golden State.

They push sexual perversion, and they want to normalize this behavior among students in the classroom. This is very serious. Their advocacy for sexual perversion is child abuse.

And what's more, they are extremely alarmed about the Recall Election next month.

They are telling people to vote No on the "Republican" Recall, even though a majority of Democrats signed the paperwork to have Gavin Newsom removed from office.

Check out their latest eblast fundraiser:

NEW poll results from FiveThirtyEight*

Keep Gavin Newsom (No on recall): 48.8%

Remove Gavin Newsom (Yes on recall): 47.6%

Arthur,

There’s no way to sugarcoat these polling numbers: Gavin Newsom is in trouble.

With the race in a statistical dead heat, anti-LGBTQ+ national Republicans like Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani and Devin Nunes have all publicly backed the Republican Recall — and the campaign is being funded by the Republican National Committee and big Trump donors!

Arthur, these extremists are hungry to win the recall and take their momentum into the 2022 midterm elections -- we CAN’T let them take over the country’s most pro-equality state!

Will you chip in $15 right now to help defeat anti-LGBTQ+ ballot measures like the Republican Recall??

DONATE $15 IMMEDIATELY »

Arthur, we need to fight back and defend DECADES of hardfought progress — on LGBTQ+ civil rights, gun safety reform, reproductive freedom, criminal justice reform, the environment and SO much more.

With the polling SO close, every single dollar and every single vote WILL MATTER.

That’s why President Biden, Katie Porter, Stacey Abrams, Equality California, Planned Parenthood and the LA Times have all spoken out AGAINST the Republican Recall.

Help us defeat anti-LGBTQ+ ballot measures like the Republican Recall. Chip in $15 RIGHT NOW:

DONATE $15 IMMEDIATELY »

Thanks for your support,

We need to stand up to the lies of the LGBT agenda. All they can do is lie, since the truth would mean that more people would have to abandon this agenda completely. No one is born gay, no one is born in the wrong body, and it is child abuse to teach people otherwise.

It's adult abuse, and it's elder abuse, too!
