A child-abuse law championed by Assembly Member Mike Villines -- and named for a Fresno boy -- was signed Monday by the governor. The signing of Assembly Bill 1280, known as Adam's Law, makes the penalty for child abuse seven years to life, with the possibility of parole, for abuse that causes severe injury to a child that results in permanent injury or disability. The old guidelines called for up to six years in...

Crystal Feldman, press secretary for the California Republican Party, responds to Democratic California State Treasurer Bill Lockyer’s comments in the San Francisco Chronicle: “We expect professional Democrats to baselessly attack our party's nominee, but the fact that Jerry Brown’s own ticket mate is bashing his gubernatorial run is a sure sign of Democratic dissension. Is this just the tip of the iceberg? If Jerry Brown can’t unite the Democratic ticket, how does...

Union Email Urging Support of Jerry Brown Breaks Law

“Jerry Brown and his union cronies will stop at nothing to maintain their grip on California. If we were accused of such questionable electioneering, Attorney General Brown would go on a self-glorification press tour denouncing Republicans. As a former Secretary of State and current Attorney General, Brown should condemn such behavior immediately and call for an investigation into the illegal use of taxpayer funded resources by his public union allies.” - Brian Seitchik, CRP

Boxer's Bad Week, Part Two of Five

Submitted by netboots on September 21, 2010

[Source: California Republican Party News]

By Jim Geraghty (as seen in NationalReview.com) There’s something about usually safe incumbents that makes cutting corners and ethical shortcuts that much more tempting. I suppose it’s more alluring when you know the voters are never going to hold you accountable. Junkets are one of those temptations. Is there a legitimate use for members of Congress visiting foreign countries and meeting foreign leaders? Of course. But as usual, with little oversight or consequence for abusing the...

SACRAMENTO – California Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring responds to John Burton’s open letter to Meg Whitman:   “California Democratic Party Chairman John Burton’s letter to Meg Whitman questioning and criticizing her plan to reduce superfluous welfare funding and allocate the excesses to college students is both misguided and unfounded.

SACRAMENTO - California Republican Party Spokesman Brian Seitchik responds to Jerry Brown's death penalty conversion: "Jerry Brown's call for the resumption of the death penalty 42 days before the election and nearly four years into his term as Attorney General is laughable and in complete contrast to his well-documented political philosophy. Even by the 'Brown standard' of shameless political pandering, this is simply ridiculous." Governor Brown and...

By Jim Geraghty (as seen in NationalReview.com) Sen. Barbara Boxer is going to have a bad week.   Californians are already wary about reelecting their state’s junior senator, one of the chamber’s most liberal Democrats. But this week, Campaign Spot will dust off some of the misdeeds and ethical troubles, the sense of entitlement, and aspects of Boxer’s record that will probably infuriate Golden State voters across the political spectrum.   You’re probably...
