DeMaio Event

Temple of Mut has done a great job of keeping up with state and local issues on her blog. Case in point is today's post regarding Democrats for DeMaio, in which she gets out to meet Carl DeMaio in person at the local Albertson's. DeMaio's reasoned and reasonable approach to union pushback on the pension reform plan is highlighted. Good for Carl for his willingness to engage the public, including his opponents.

To be clear, I have endorsed Carl DeMaio for Mayor, but I have seen nothing to dissuade me from that position. Thanks to Temple of Mut for some intrepid citizen reporting. (Disclaimer: The Southern California Tax Revolt Coalition does not endorse candidates for office, this is a personal endorsement.)

The Post I Wish I Had Written

Leslie, at Temple of Mut, has written passionately about the need to stay steadfast and think long term in our quest to restore this Republic to its Constitutional roots. She reminds us of the need to accept diversity of opinion in the tea party movement, while sticking to our core principles of limited government and rule of law. Her other message is to reject the top down messaging of the elites, in order to build a true, lasting grass roots movement. My thanks to her for this reminder.

Blog Headline of the Week - Maybe Ever

Comes from Temple of Mut:

It’s like the 1930′s met the 1970′s and had a LOVE CHILD!

Her post correctly analyzes the "malaise" once again affecting America, the result of leftist policies. The whole article is worth a read, even though the headline captures the the thought.

Apologies to anyone who may have been checking this space for new material. I am still suffering from neck pain and muscle spasms. I am getting medical treatment, but I don't have anything left in the tank after work.
