Typically, I will only go to political events that feature candidates that I am inclined to support. I don’t recall ever driving two hours just to go see someone that I totally disagree with; let alone get there so early that I’m on the front row. But this doesn’t seem to be a barrier to…

Misc Comments on My Trip Thus Far
I’m about ten days into this trip. Here are a few observations thus far. Getting a visa extension to stay here was easy. The hardest part was the demand that payment be made in cash. The cost was just north of 4,000 pesos ($66). I needed to complete a form, pay a fee, and then…

A proposed reservoir project in Western Colusa County would help keep more water in Folsom Lake, according to Rep. Ami Bera. The Elk Grove Democrat announced…

After months of rumors, it appears that Sacramento County Sheriff, Scott Jones, will be the official Republican challenger to Congressman Ami Bera. Jones will supposedly make this official next week. He was recruited by the NRCC. My thought is that if NRCC isn’t ready to spend at least five million on the race that Jones…

As time goes on, it seems that the Republicans are becoming more like the Democrats. There is less and less difference between the two parties. Ronald Reagan famously said that he didn’t leave the Democrat Party, they left him. I‘ve been feeling that way about the Republicans for the last few years. In our current…
