No to Angelides and Schwarzenegger! Yes to Janice Jordan! 
Angelides criticized Schwarzenegger for his praise for the racist anti-immigrant vigilantes called the “Minutemen” while in the same breath calling for a "guest worker" program that would create a new class of super-exploited worker with no political rights. Under the same type of program in the past U.S. bosses often failed to even pay Mexican workers for their hard labor. The fact that Angelides and the Democrat Party are now calling for this kind of legalization of indentured servitude pla...

Dismal Marriage Decision Opens Up Opportunities Yesterday, by a vote of 2-1, a panel of the Court of Appeals upheld California’s law that restricts marriage to a man and a woman, denying this right to gay and lesbian couples. As supporters of marriage equality, this was a huge disappointment – but it’s far from being the final word. City Attorney Dennis Herrera will appeal to the state Supreme Court, who will make a ruling within the next two years. And while the appellate court failed to recognize the rights of same-sex couples, the legal...

Chasing the Coveted ‘Latino Vote’ in California SACRAMENTO — When the final votes in California’s gubernatorial election are tallied on Nov. 7, countless man-hours and millions of dollars will be spent trying to win over people like Daniel Jiménez of Elk Grove.
Through the traditional political lens, the 25-year-old South Sacramento native is a walking contradiction. He's a supervisor at a home-building company, a two-time Bush voter and a strong supporter of granting America's estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants amnesty, provi...
