The big question this week is will voter turnout affect results in close California contests?
The answer is probably yes.
New data indicates turnout in the Inland Empire will be dismal this year.
The only race driving any form of voter response is in the 36th Congressional Congressional District, where Rep. Raul Ruiz (D) is fending off a challenge from State Assemblyman Brian Nestande.
The Ruiz-Nestande race, along with that of Augilar-Chabot in the 31st Congressional District, has democrats rightfully nervous. The numbers are proving they have reason to be.
It’s no wonder Vice President Joe Biden and Former President Bill Clinton are visiting California this week to push turnout for Ruiz and Pete Aguilar (D-Redlands), who is running in the open 31st Congressional District against Paul Chabot (R-Rancho Cucamonga).

Obama’s INDIFFERENCE towards America the Beautiful should no longer be tolerated regardless of party affiliation!!!
America the Beautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

Martinez credits Roybal, who served in Congress from 1962 to 1992, with helping stir his interest in political activism.
“I used to go to his house and dream, Martinez said. ………….. He used to tell me:
‘Tony, nobody is better than you and you are not better than anybody else either.'”

Stuck in the mud?
I’d like to see the state and COUNTRY move forward, but all we get from the GOP is we need to go backwards.
If our founding fathers had that attitude we still be subjects of the queen.

Bonjour Repairman-
Look who dropped by, long time no see. You’re just in the nick of time, ///
because everyone in any position of POWER or INFLUENCE is too SPOOKED to fight back or care enough.
YES, you nailed it, our politicians have failed us- on both sides of the isle- YOU have your work cut out for you now.
You will have to live up to your name and REPAIR MAN in Washington.

YES!
And that’s because it was the GOP “Who more than self their country loved” and left their fears behind, but now “both sides of the isle” have brave men and woman “Who more than self their country loved” – one for all and all for one- it’s time to stop whispering the truth.
