Those involved in last year's campaign continue to look for ways to make a positive difference in our world! Bruce Brown is in private business as President of Rackleff Industries in Orange County. I have returned full force to the all-volunteer Coast Guard Auxiliary as a Division Officer, nine years now, and ramping up my consulting work in public relations and public affairs. Maureen Johnson has moved higher in the ranks of the Republican Party as well she should carrying forth an energy and flair that made the CA 35th CD campaign, in many ways, fun!

THE 'NUT, NUT' ON THE BRUCE BROWN CAMPAIGN

O.K., O.K. What does one particular Congressional District election have to do with anything? Why should you think much about who will be responsible for leading us in the House of Representatives?

The California Republican Party offers some opinions with some humble interjections on my part:

America has prospered under the two-party system because one party has always served to check the excesses of the other. Often, both parties agree on the problems, or used to, less often do they agree with the solutions, more so now than ever. The root of most their differences has been perspective.

Now, in my opinion, all has been thrown like goop at the wall by a liberal administration and Congress (House and Senate) that is pushing an agenda to create a socialist society the majority of Americans does not want.

The President is leading the effort in this regard; after, all, he said he would change America, but not the way most who voted for him thought. So he won with the Moveon.org crowd and the other usual suspects in the liberal insurrection -- Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Charlie Rangle and the person named along with Ohio's Dennis Kusinich as the most liberal of members of Congress, our own Maxine Waters, in tow.

Well, you might have heard all of this before. The Presidential election is in 2012 but there are those in his retinue listed above who are facing the stern prospects of losing their districts to 'We the People'.

So back to the CRA report -- Republicans believe in solutions, which are decided upon and implemented by the people themselves, through their locally-elected representatives. Republicans believe that the solution to America's problems lie in the greatness of the American people.

On the other side of the aisle, Democrats, of which I, admittedly was one for 32 years before I saw the radical shift to the left in mid-decade, tend to stress a powerful centralized bureaucracy aimed at solving local and national problems from the top-down - a method which, after 40 years of trial, is a proven failure and will churn an outright economic tsunami if we don't start fixing this mess beginning November 2.

I remember listening to political scientist Charles Krauthammer recently when he said that even John F. Kennedy, my childhood hero, would not be admitted to today's Democratic Party because JFK would be considered too conservative in today's party environment by the Democrat powers to be.

It may be too late to "Fix congress and Energize the District," as Bruce Brown says, if clarity is not restored this election in Congress among thoughful, strategic thinkers like him. In biz talk, that is the 'nut nut'-- the term businessmen and women use to describe what the bottom line is when it comes to getting a desired result.
