"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

NRSC Launches New California TV Ad, “Nothing Will Change” -- Boxer Fails to Report House on Ethics Report

"Nothing Will Change" is probably the understatement of the year.  Barbara 'Call me Senator' Boxer is one of the more dense along with being arrogant Senators we have.  Cannot believe the people of California kept sending her back to DC.  Makes one wonder how many illegal votes have been cast over the years when Obama can go in the state and encourage Latinos to punish the enemies of immigration reform.  How many illegals have voted in California?  We already know in Los Angeles, they will move polling places right before the election so legitimate voters have a hard time finding them.

We are hoping the next Governor of California will be Meg Whitman and a priority will be to clean up the voting lists in the precincts in California especially in the large cities where voter fraud is rampant.  Wonder how much more of a percentage of voters has to turn out in California to counter the voter fraud?  The United States sends representatives overseas to monitor elections when we have massive election fraud in our own Country which the DOJ turns a blind eye.  Now the Holder DOJ also has turned a blind eye to voter intimidation by the new Black Panthers which you would see in a 3rd World Country.

Californians now have a chance to make a difference by retiring Barbara Boxer and her lack of ethics and electing Carly Fiorina to be their next Senator who will work for Californians not Obama/Reid.

NRSC Launches New California TV Ad, “Nothing Will Change” Tuesday, October 26, 2010 @ 11:10 AM

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) announced its first independent expenditure television advertisement in California today, entitled "Nothing Will Change," highlighting millionaire U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer’s (D-CA) failed record in Washington supporting higher taxes and job crushing policies in Washington.




NRSC Press Secretary Amber Marchand issued the following statement:

"Millionaire Senator Barbara Boxer has spent her entire career looking out for the best interests of one person: herself. Boxer’s partisan, ineffective work in Washington fighting for higher taxes and job killing policies haven’t helped the families, seniors, and job creators in California who are facing more than 12 percent unemployment today."
The Los Angeles Times’ Maeve Reston reports:

Though the criticism of Boxer's effectiveness and the charge that she's been in office too long mirrors the core message of Republican challenger Carly Fiorina's campaign, the NRSC's new spot seeks to get the attention of women with a female narrator and images of seven women looking solemnly in the camera... The NRSC ad is part of its $7.8-million investment in the race, the first $4.8 million of which was directed toward a series of ads in concert with the Fiorina campaign.
Today we also learn that Barbara Boxer who heads the Senate Ethics Committee has failed to disclose real property valued at over $1M she owns on her ethics report from 2002 - 2010. As head of Ethics, leaving off this house would bring into question WHY? She knows better but did it anyway.

After reading this and other items showing lack of ethics and transparency of candidates, the Senate needs new Ethics Rules. Anyone with a complaint against them should not be Chairing or even be on the Ethics Committee. Think it is time for full disclosure of anyone running for office including incumbents. Also the idea that someone can 'loan' their campaign money needs looked at as well because it puts millionaire's running for office on a different playing field.

It is past time to replace one of the more annoying Senators Barbara Boxer and her liberal agenda with a Senator who will listen to the people, Carley Fiorina.

BREAKING: Ethics Foundation Requests A.G. Holder Investigate Sen. BoxerOctober 26, 2010 - by Roger L Simon

In a breaking development that may affect the close California Senate race, Pajamas Media has learned The Foundation for Ethics in Public Service sent a letter to Eric Holder last Thursday requesting the attorney general “begin an investigation to determine whether United States Senator Barbara Boxer violated any criminal laws or should be liable for any civil penalty for failure to disclose real property on her Personal Financial Disclosure Reports between 2002 and 2010.”

The Foundation for Ethics in Public Service is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization “that seeks to bring a new level of transparency, accountability and integrity to all levels of government in the United States.” Boxer is the chair of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics.

The specific property FEPS is referring to is an Oakland, California, home valued at over a million dollars and co-owned by Boxer, her husband Stewart, their son Douglas, and his wife Amy. The letter to Holder reads in part:

Despite the fact that Senator Boxer had an ownership in 854 Longridge Road [in Oakland], she failed to report this substantial real property asset on any of her personal financial disclosures between 2002 and 2010. She had also failed to report the mortgage on the property. Further, she failed to report the purchase of 854 Longridge Road in 2002. Each year Boxer was required to have filed a “full and complete report.”

The filing of false or incomplete disclosure statements is in violation of the Ethics in Government Act. The Act authorizes the Attorney General of the United States to seek civil penalties against Senators who knowingly and willfully falsify or fail to report required information. The knowing and willful concealment of the existence of substantial amount of real property for a prolonged period may subject Senators to federal criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. paragraph 101. [other citations are available at the link]

The Oakland home is currently lived in by Douglas and his wife. This is not the first time Senator Boxer’s son has been the center of controversy. The senator reportedly paid out nearly $500,000 from her campaign contributions to her son’s public relations firm between 2001 and 2009. Those moneys could have been used to pay off the mortgage on the Oakland property, adding urgency to the DOJ investigation sought by The Foundation for Ethics in Public Service and further complicating the legal and ethical issues involved.

New Polls Shows Fiorina and Boxer in a Dead Heat

It would be great on November 2nd to send Barbara Boxer to the Unemployment Line. She has been too liberal for California for years -- actually since she was first elected. California which is one of our most beautiful states needs to be represented by someone with 'Common Sense' which leaves out Boxer. Fiorina has the business background and great ideas to take to the Senate on how to grow our economy.  Fiorina is 180 degrees opposite of Boxer who believes the way to grow the economy is by taxing and spending. Barbara 'Call me Senator' Boxer never met a tax she doesn't like.

Hard to fathom Boxer involved with our military when she shows nothing but disdain for them. For anyone keeping track, the California military bases have closed right and left with the two Democrat Senators Boxer and Feinstein representing California. Many business' in California have closed up shop there and headed to Middle America where there is a better business climate.

We have to believe with the race being in a Dead Heat that Fiorina is going to be gaining in the next two weeks and Boxer is going to go very negative as we have been seeing across the Country.

New Poll Shows Fiorina and Boxer in a Dead Heat Monday, October 18, 2010 @ 10:10 AM

In California, a new Reuters/Ipsos survey shows businesswoman Carly Fiorina in a dead heat with millionaire Senator Barbara Boxer:

Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer's lead over Republican Carly Fiorina among likely voters in California is only one point, 46 percent to 45 percent, down from a four-point advantage early this month. Boxer is a key ally of President Barack Obama, who is to campaign for her and other Democrats next week in California. Fiorina is a former CEO of Hewlett-Packard.
While the Mercury News notes that Boxer’s deflated liberal base “struggling to find a reason” to show up on Election Day:

Anything can happen this election, but the youthful tidal wave that helped sweep Obama into the White House in 2008 may have dried up… there's no question -- many Democrats are struggling to find a reason to vote. "What I'm noticing is that we don't have a candidate on the top of the ticket that's generating a lot of excitement in the electorate," said Mark Baldassare, president of the Public Policy Institute of California. "And we don't have a ballot measure attracting the excitement Proposition 8 did last time around, so turnout will be significantly less that we had in the presidential election."
And Boxer’s extreme agenda is likely to turn off the state’s many independent “swing” voters. Reuters reports:

Three-term Senator Barbara Boxer is "too extreme for California," said Carly Fiorina, the wealthy businesswoman challenging the Democratic incumbent in one of the most liberal U.S. states. "She is an extreme liberal, she is hyper-partisan," Fiorina said Sunday of Boxer, an ally of U.S. President Barack Obama, who is to campaign for her and other Democrats this week in California. Fiorina is a former CEO of Hewlett-Packard. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday showed Boxer leading Fiorina by only 1 point, 46 percent to 45 percent, down from a 4-point advantage early this month. Fiorina told "Fox News Sunday" that swing voters in the California, the most populous U.S. state, would turn the race her way before November 2 midterm elections, in which 37 of 100 Senate seats and all 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for grabs. "Remember that California has about 25 percent of its electorate that's considered swing voters," said Fiorina, referring to independents who vote across party lines. "These are the people ... that are going to make the difference in this election."

Liberal S.F. Chronicle refuses to endorse Barbara Boxer

When we first heard this, we had to go see for ourselves as the idea of the SF Chronicle not endorsing Boxer never entered our mind. They might as well have gone all in and endorsed her opponent Carley Fiorina with this editorial. The Chronicle editorial writers said exactly what we have always thought of Boxer -- what has she really done? She couldn't even handle the climate change bill as everything she touches becomes polarizing and John Kerry had to step into the fight which they are still losing. Boxer won't even ride in the same elevator with Oklahoma's Jim Inhofe.

Since people like Boxer were elected to the Senate, the days of Senators fighting like cats and dogs on the floor and having dinner together have gone out the door. The David Boren's and Sam Nunn's have been replaced by arrogance in the form of Senators like Boxer and Hillary when she was still in the Senate which has been bad for America.

If someone needs a good reason to vote for Fiorina, this editorial is it. If I was advising the Fiorina campaign, I would tell them to use this editorial for a great TV ad. When the Chronicle won't endorse Boxer, then the voters should defeat her for the very same reasons.

California needs to send a Senator like Carley Fiorina to DC who will represent California not her own special interest like Boxer. Arrogance personifies Boxer like the video shows:




We were appalled the day she told the General to call her Senator not ma'am and are still appalled at the arrogance of Boxer that day. That seemed to be the most important part of her questioning that she be called Senator and said a lot about Boxer as a person -- spoiled! Boxer may vote liberal but she does not represent the best interests of California or America.

You’re not alone if you didn’t see this one coming. From their editorial, posted yesterday:

It is extremely rare that this editorial page would offer no recommendation on any race, particularly one of this importance. This is one necessary exception.

Boxer, first elected in 1992, would not rate on anyone’s list of most influential senators. Her most famous moments on Capitol Hill have not been ones of legislative accomplishment, but of delivering partisan shots. Although she is chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee, it is telling that leadership on the most pressing issue before it – climate change – was shifted to Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., because the bill had become so polarized under her wing.

For some Californians, Boxer’s reliably liberal voting record may be reason enough to give her another six years in office. But we believe Californians deserve more than a usually correct vote on issues they care about. They deserve a senator who is accessible, effective and willing and able to reach across party lines to achieve progress on the great issues of our times. Boxer falls short on those counts.
