While our local goals were not achieved, a few Republicans from our state and large numbers from around the country were more than enough to give the party the majority in the House of Representatives come January. And that made Election Day 2010 a success in our collective drive to stop the sinister Socialist Express.
Now it is on to 2012 to increase the number of Conservatives and Republicans in both the House and Senate, and elect a President who loves his country, has a clear understanding about what has made it great and has developed a distinct vision concerning what will make it greater, and, simply stated, is proud to be an American with no apologies to any foreign states.
It was our desire to fight the good fight for continued freedoms that drove us in support of Bruce Brown. Thank you to all voted for him yesterday.

THE LAST POST
It's getting to clinch time so let's make it a Magic Carpet ride through Tuesday night. Bruce Brown has the backing of the National Republican Congressional Committee - most welcome - and the media run is just about complete with the Daily Breeze profile still up in the batter's circle.
Nobody told us the Maxine Waters can't be beat so we will. An internal poll as of last week had the candidates at about 50-50, same with a TOPIX poll.
We have positioned volunteers at key intersections in the western area of District 35 for three weeks now. We do not encourage responses save for holding a sign up with a smile. Throughout this effort, we are getting about an 85% thumbs up for Bruce, and two Golden Retrievers, one Beagle and one Terrier have loudly barked for freedom!
By the way, if you have an inside track with the incumbent, please tell her that she represents portions of Playa del Rey, Playa Vista and Del Rey -- not all as she stated in this week's Argonaut. Really, she should have a better idea of where her constituents are.
Bruce does. That is yet another reason why YOU should vote for HIM!

NEW DATA SIGNALS - BUYER BEWARE, HERE AND EVERYWHERE - THE DEMS DON'T CARE
When you hear Maxine Waters say that the 111th Congress has been looking out for you and the Democrats will continue to do so if you return them to power, note that the Heritage Foundation has released a report on our own California 35th Congressional District which shows that if just one of the liberal Administration-Congress plans, to let the Bush Tax Cuts expire after the election, happens, that, in and of itself, could destroy our local economy, without exaggeration. Forget ObamaCare, Cap and Trade, Card Checks to slide in unions quickly without a secret ballot vote, etc. Go to the web link immedidately to the right for some very sobering data if you are thinking about voting for Maxine Waters:

THROWING SOME BONES TO THE PEOPLE BACK HOME AND OTHER SHORT TAKES
Interesting that incumbent Maxine Waters picks October 19th to announce nearly $7 million in pork barrel projects for the homefolk.
It certainly can't be a coincidence that the release of details of the 12 projects, ranging from $350,000 for a Lawndale Community Center to $500,00 for a 405 Freeway widening project, comes less than 12 days before the mid-term election. Good ideas, actually, if our country wasn't drowning in a sea of red ink.
It would be silly for us residents of River City to think there was a "Music Man" in our midst. Why, there is no 'Con' in the word Congress these days, is there?
After all, what rational voter would be influenced by the timing of this announcement,fresh off Water's national call to have federal legislation passed to create a new level of bureaucy to lord over the home mortgage industry.
Golly darn, what a cost-effective way to campaign! This stuff makes the news. The voters won't connect the dots, would they?
Silly us, why would we think that in our capitalist system, maybe private enterprise might take a stab at solving its own probems, you know like that tiny little auto company - Ford - did when it refused federal bailout money. Good for Ford and the profits it acheived the old fashioned way. FOMO earned it with good, reliable products.
Don't you think private industry might want to at least try to sort out its own challenges without the D.C. Let's Pass a Bill Brigade storming in?
Fifty years ago, it was common for a legislator from anywhere in Norman Rockwell America to solve a problem by calling for "legislation" to get a quick fix in the local news headlines for a few days when the local press scambled to get some reaction from somewhere -- their grandmothers or bowling buddies, for example.
It certainly worked here this week with a local newspaper hammering out reaction to the incumbent's mortgage moratorium call. Excuse me, how about a summary of the main issues of concern to both candidates and of interest to the local voters now that we are so close to the election? (Let's see how the newspaper does this time around -- last week it did an article about Water's Ethics Trial, 1,100 words about her, 126 from me, as a local resident. And in the four comments that were attributed to me, only two were wrong. But I digress.)
Pork-barrel funds, when there is money to provide for them in the federal till, are a traditional part of American legislative action -- from both Democrats and Republicans. But in this deep lingering stuck-in-the-mud recession, you should have measured twice and cut once Maxine Waters.
Let's be blunt about the economy in Los Angeles. In the early 1990s, the recession then was more severe here than in any other area of the country. Even the L.A. Times called it a "pocket depression".
So with unemployment now at 12.5% locally and challenges factoring in underemployment and people either giving up looking for work or taken off the unemployment roster taking the "financially screwed-up factor" to at least 25%, we are in a pocket depression.
So for those of you entering a thought about voting for the incumbent, and carring over the percentage theme -- are you shooting for 100% hopelessness?
Maxine Waters, in her recent mailing to voters in the district, proclaimed proudly how she voted for over one trillion in new federal spending. Of course she is doing well financially, very well when you consider she is moving to a West L.A. mansion priced at $1.8 millon on a salary of $178,000 per year with allegations of financial gain from other sources swirling like the breeze at the onset of a twister.
Nice gig!
But now the quote dujour is "It is what it is" and I guess nothing will change for her until she is defeated November 2nd and do everything she and the liberal legislative legionnaires can do to cram a bunch of bills down our throats in the Fall session without Republican opposition since the Dems have the majoity votes.
Card checks anyone?
But come on now, fiscally conservative Republicans like Bruce Brown know that the biggest single nuke blast to the successful continuation of the America we all know and love is a debt debacle that will send us financially off a cliff.
That means America will be bankrupt, the leader of the Free World.
As Conservative Thought Leader Newt Gringrich puts it in his DVD now on sale, America is being attacked from within. The economic plague must be cured, beginning now,now,now.
When Bruce Brown sends announcements back home as a Congressman, sure, important things will be funded, if absolutely necessary in tight times. But he would rather report back that we are climbing up and out of the federal debt dumpster and getting emergency incentives to businesses to take away the Obama-Democrat Congress cloud of socialist uncertainty.
I say socialist because that card is on the table for all to see. But there's a smoking gun in the 35th CD. Check out the Internet to see whose name appears concerning a 2007 convention of another far, far, far left group I will leave unnamed.
This one is where you do the research (it's easy actually) and call 50 of your best friends quickly before the election, and they tell 50, who then tell 50 - you know the drill.
Oh, by the way, since we are talking about the debt. If your family just added a little baby to the household, he or she is now in debt to the tune of about $35,000, and that is in today's dollars.
Way to go B.O., Reid, Pelosi, Waters, Dodd, Franks and the rest of you spending money like drunken sailors during the first three hours on furlough after being at sea for a few months! We will pay, our babies will pay, our teens will pay, our young adults will pay, on and on and on and on.
So start the stop with a vote for Bruce November 2nd. Again, this is the most important Congressional election we will see in our lifetime.
Glenn Beck says we are all a part of a very important time in American History and we should all write down our thoughts, our concerns and our actions to tell future generations.
Vote for what is right this time around. Others in other districts around the country have the power to move our country in the bst direction so you are not alone in your thoughts.

POLITICO.COM REPORT ON TRIAL DATE FOR INCUMBENT
The House ethics committee will begin ethics “trials” for Reps. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) when Congress returns in mid-November, according to a statement from Rep. Zoe Lofgren, the panel’s chairwoman.
Lofgren announced that the Rangel trial will begin on Nov. 15, with the Waters’ proceedings scheduled to start on Nov. 29. Some Republicans had pushed a much quicker trial schedule, but Democrats chose to wait until the lame duck session of Congress to schedule the rare ethics tribunals, in which the two veteran lawmakers will be tried before a specially convened panel.
The timetable means the full House could end up taking action on any sanctions approved by the ethics committee against the veteran Democrats before it adjourns for the year.
Lofgren also criticized her GOP counterpart, Rep. Jo Bonner (Ala.), and his fellow Republicans on the committee for releasing an extraordinary public statement recently that suggested she was stalling the trials for Rangel and Waters.
“Last week’s unprecedented statement by the minority members of the committee, in contrast to the prior requests and ongoing discussions, called up the chair to unilaterally establish the committee scheduled, as the committee rules allow,” Lofgren said in her statement. Lofgren is chairing the “adjudicatory hearings” where Rangel and Waters plan to contest the charges against them.
Some Hill insiders believed the Rangel and Waters’ proceeding might be postponed until 2011, although Lofgren’s announcement – clearly a reaction to the GOP statement last week – now settles that question.

BRUCE BROWN ON SEAN HANNITY WEBSITE
The following appeared on SeanHannity.com in the 'Forums' then Washington Politics' section. It is listed under the substitle "What About Maxine" if you would like to post a comment.
Stereotype of Maxine Waters' District is so wrong
The stereotype of Maxine's district is doing great harm - the people are hungry for change, crying out for it, but until I came along, they had no option. The Democrat machine controled the process and if the Republican Party lacks the will to take it on, what are the people to do?
Two years ago, I threw away life as I knew it and said I am going into the inner city and break the lock the Democrats have on the minority vote - her first serious opponent in 20 years. But the RNC wont look, the media wont look and we are yelling and screaming, sending up flares, saying Hey - MAXINE IS BEATABLE!!!!
Polls show less than 50% of Dems support her - the district has changed. The grass roots Americans are the only ones that can stop her - please donate something at www.BBrownForCongress.com because I assure you, Maxine is in YOUR district taking your money. Your $12million TARP bought land in Marths's Vinyard - billions go to Haiti, Congo, Ruwanda - all your rmoney going to corrupt leaders and friends. It is time to stop her AND the system that makes her possible.

THE MOST IMPORTANT CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION OF OUR TIME
By now, you know that fiscally-conservative Republican Bruce Brown, who is seeking the house seat occupied since 1990 by Maxine Waters, has far different views about how to join those who govern from Washington, D.C. to improve our lives To him, less government is more legitimate, and spending set forth by the Democrat in the White House and his followers in Congress is spiraling out of control.
So who started the current Far Left Wing of the Democratic Party with two notable California Dems still in place?
The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) is the largest caucus within the Democratic caucus in the United States Congress with 83 declared members, and works to advance progressive issues and positions. It was founded in 1991 and now has more than 80 members. The original House members were: Ron Dellums (D-CA), Lane Evans (D-IL), Thomas Andrews (D-ME), Peter DeFazio (D-OR), our representative - Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Additional House representatives joined soon, including Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). She dropped out after she was named Speaker of the House.
So now you can see how much of a distinct choice you have in your 35th Congressional District vote on November 2nd. A clearly focused conservative against an incumbent described by Sean Hannity, a well-known radio/television talk show host as "perpetually hysterical" also described by Mark Levin, a liberal talk show commentator, as the most liberal congresswoman in office.
Think this election through everyone. Either you vote left and send our country spiraling out of financial control, or you bring in Republicans and Conservatives who will de-fund reckless legislation passed in the Democrat-controlled 111th Congress. If you have any doubts about the financal time-bomb that is ticking, look to the right at our federal debt, as it climbs $100K a second!
Speaking of 'Progressive," have you noticed that over the past two years the insurance company with that name has put forth "Flo" relentlessly on television to sell the brand, and quite possibly a belief system. You see, the man who runs the company is a multi-billionare who is ranked second in America as the biggest contributor to socialist, make that, "progressive" causes.
Coincidence, or not?
