Tom Steyer: Rich, Leftist 1%-er What Wants to Endanger Californians

What is the  Big Green billionaire Tom Steyer up to now?

He's at the California Democratic Party convention today.

What is he sending out eblasts for, though?

"It's not enough to be rich.
I have to make the rest of you poor!"

He's not running for state party chairman, although pundits have suggested he might want to be the next Governor of Californa.

Here's the eblast:

Arthur,

Greetings from the California Democrats State Convention.

Right now, I am meeting with fellow progressives from across California to plan how our state will continue to lead the resistance and defend our democracy. Together, we will uphold the values and ideals that truly make America great.

The battle isn’t only about what is happening in Washington. It’s about the special interests pulling the strings in Sacramento as well — and we need your help to fight back.

In the next two weeks, lawmakers in Sacramento will have an opportunity to vote on crucial legislation that will help protect Californians. But corporate special interests are fighting tooth and nail to prevent these significant reforms from being passed.
Transparency for drug prices
Californians are currently left in the dark about our prescription drug prices. Senate Bill 17 will prevent drug companies from dramatically raising prices with no warning, and will require health insurance companies to disclose what portion of our premiums go towards prescription drugs.

Reforming California’s money bail system
California's current bail system is discriminatory and and keeps poor people locked up simply for being poor. Senate Bill 10 and Assembly Bill 42 will create a more just and effective replacement for California’s money bail system. These bills will make sure that bail is set at a reasonable level based on a person’s ability to pay, and take better account of non-monetary factors when considering whether a person can be released.
We can’t move forward unless we break the grip of special interests in our politics — in California and throughout our country.
Thanks for speaking up,
Tom Steyer
President
NextGen Climate

The argument that people are locked up for being poor is all wrong.

Men and women are incarcerated because they are suspects of a crime, and on trial. What are people talking about? This misplaced compassion is underminig our criminal justice system and making people less safe.

These arguments are fraudulent and immoral. Of course, billionaires like Tom Steyer don't have to worry about crimes committed in our streets since he lives in gated communities far away from the times and trials of daily life. The Democratic Party's increasingly anti-prosperity, pro-poverty agenda is pushing out the middle class and creating a two-tiered system of abject inequality.

And all this talk about transparency?

I wish that Steyer would come clean about all the money he makes from the Crony Big Green Agenda!

This guy is not happy with being rich.

He wants you to be poor, too!

Californians: It's time to rise up and put a stop to this Left-Wing madness!

Top Ten Reasons to Vote for Ken Wright for Congress

Dr. Kenneth Wright of Marina Del Rey, by way of Torrance and working in Beverly Hills, is running for Congress against the radical regressive Ted Lieu.

I have confronted Lieu during campaign stops.

When he appeared at the Torrance City Council to discuss the hydro-fluoric acid controversy at ExxonMobil, I called him out for doing nothing for all of us, and for doing nothing to stop illegal immigration in California.

Dr. Wright has written an extensive set of reasons why everyone in the 33rd Congressional District--especially Democrats--should vote "No" to Ted Lieu and "YES" for Dr. Ken WRIGHT!



Top 10 reasons Democrats should Vote Wright:

1. Lieu petitions to bring 200,000 Syrian Iraqi refugees this year and votes against the SAFE Act for extended background checks- Dr. Wright is for keeping America safe with refugee safe camps in the Middle East.

2. Lieu sponsors No Money Bail bill so criminals go free without bail – Dr. Wright wants fair law enforcement to protect citizens.

3. Lieu votes against the VA Accountability Act (twice) to improve health care for veterans – Dr. Wright is for reform to ensure quality health care for our veterans.

4. Lieu withdrew from all 2016 candidate forums / debates (League of Women Voters and Palos Verdes Chamber of Commerce) – Dr. Wright showed up for all the debates and is for true transparency and open communication.


5. Lieu wants to make the beaches from Malibu to Palos Verdes (including Santa Monica) a Federal Reserve – Dr. Wright wants a clean ocean that is maintained and controlled by the local people of L.A. County.

6. Lieu, a career politician, takes big business PAC money including from: Great Far East (a real estate investment firm with extensive ties to China), Ernst & Young, Wells Fargo, Pacific Life, Farmers Insurance, big pharma, defense companies, - Dr. Wright, a caring physician and not a career politician, only receives donations from individual supporters, no corporations.

7. Lieu votes to support Obamacare – Dr. Wright wants to replace Obamacare with a system that reduces premiums and deductibles and allows free choice of plans and doctors.

8. Lieu talks about supporting Israel but actually votes Nay against NDAA (US-Israel Defense Funding, Victims of Iranian Terrorism Act, NO prohibiting the president from reducing sanctions on Iran – Dr. Wright considers Israel our most important ally in the Middle East and full supports Israel.

9. Lieu claims the environment is important BUT co-authored a bill (CA ABX381 to bypass environmental regulations in order to build a stadium. The developer donated $13K to his campaign. Dr. Wright believes in integrity and honesty.

10. Lieu has missed 10.2% of congressional votes which is much worse than the median of 2.3% - Dr. Wright takes responsibilities seriously- he shows up.


OH- ONE MORE THING – Dr. WRIGHT SURFS!





Let's keep it very simple:

VOTE FOR KEN WRIGHT FOR CONGRESS!
