OC Register 42nd Congressional Republican Primary Race Story
Joel Walsh and Dena Bunis of the Orange County Register have posted a story on the Republican Primary in the 42nd Congressional Race.
Rep. Gary Miller on Fox News Today
According to Rep. Gary Miller's email newsletter, Miller will be on Fox News with Neil Cavuto at 1 pm to discuss Los Angeles' boycott of Arizona.
This is what he wrote,
"On Wednesday, the Los Angeles City Council voted 13-1 to ban official travel to Arizona and block future contracts with companies there in protest of its new immigration law. Congressman Miller believes this boycott is an insult to American citizens and legal immigrants. The boycott could crush important industries that are helping America’s economy recover. More specifically, this shortsighted move could stop airline contracts at LAX, cancel over $25 million in Clean Truck Program contracts, and cancel important forensics and law enforcement tools. Ultimately, the boycott undermines the rule of law and will further communicate to illegal immigrants that they can come live, work, and soak up taxpayer-funded resources in California. Because the federal government has failed to address illegal immigration and border security problems, Congressman Miller believes firmly the state of Arizona has a duty to protect its citizens from these ongoing and escalating issues. Today, he will appear on Fox News with Neil Cavuto at 1:00pm PST to discuss this issue."

Anti Lee McGroarty Email sent out
On Wednesday we posted about an email sent out entitled, "DON'T ELECT TAX FRAUD PHIL LIBERATORE." It linked to the web site Phil Liberatore for Congress, which lists law suits 42nd Congressional candidate Phil Liberatore has been involved in.
Last night I received a new email. This one was entitled, "Challenger Operates Businesses With Suspended Licenses." It links to Lee McGroarty for Congress, which lists several reasons why one shouldn't vote for McGroarty.
I left the links that were in the email.
####
In 2007, the California Secretary of State and California Franchise Tax Board suspended the business licenses of both companies - "Retire America Corporation" and "401(K) Administrators Inc." that Congressional candidate Lee McGroarty owns and operates.
McGroarty’s business licenses were suspended for either "failure to pay one or more tax returns" or "failure to pay the business balances due."
For over 3 years, Lee McGroarty has been operating these businesses and handling client’s retirement funds without a license.
In these economic times, would you trust your retirement funds to an un-licensed company?
At a time when Congress is cracking down on financial fraud, this is the kind of activity they are looking to curtail. Why put this wolf in the henhouse?
On June 8, don’t reward law breakers by sending them to Congress.

An interview with Phil Liberatore Part 4 of 4
Tuesday we started posting our email interview with 42nd Congressional candidate Phil Liberatore. Below you will find the fourth and final part.
We posted his comments just as we received them.
Liberatore is challenging Rep. Gary Miller, Lee McGroarty and David Su for the Republican nomination in the 42nd Congressional district.
TCP: Why do you believe that you will do a better job than the 42nd's current Congressman, Gary Miller?
How much space do we have on this blog? The primary reason I believe I will do a better job than Gary is that I am a true conservative not just in name. I would not vote for Wall Street bailouts and voting with Barney Frank to put the taxpayers on the hook for an additional $300 billion dollars during the housing meltdown. I am sure Gary can have spin to these ten different ways but they don’t represent the fiscally conservative values I believe in.
I’m a fighter. For too long we have been playing defense against Democrats and RINOs but the time has come to go on the offense. There is going to be a large class of new Congressmen who will be voted into office to bring responsibility back to Washington. They will be scrutinized by their local voters like never before and I believe this mid-term election will be a new day in Washington.
The second reason is that I will show up to work. Gary currently has the 14th worst voting record in Congress. At the end of 2008 and beginning of 2009 he missed 64% of the votes. This was one of the most crucial times in our nations history and he did not show up for work.
TCP: How do you believe you are different from the other two Republican challengers, David Su and Lee McGroarty?

An interview with Phil Liberatore Part 3 of 4
Tuesday we started posting our email interview with 42nd Congressional candidate Phil Liberatore. Below you will find Part 3.
We posted his comments just as we received them.
Liberatore is challenging Rep. Gary Miller, Lee McGroarty and David Su for the Republican nomination in the 42nd Congressional district.
TCP: What is your position on the recently passed Health Care Reform bill?
This is one of the worst bills passed in the history of the United States. We need to fight to remove, defund and kill it at every turn. There are some very positive steps which could have been taken in health care including tort reform and interstate competition but the President ignored these for a radical agenda.

Daily Bulletin Publishes Former Assistant Secretary Cabrera's Defense of Rep. Gary Miller
The Daily Bulletin has published a letter from Former Assistant Secretary at the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under President George W. Bush, and current CEO of National CORE and Hope Through Housing Foundation Orlando Cabrera. In it he defends Rep. Gary Miller against allegations made by 42nd Congressional candidate Lee McGroarty.
Rep. Miller had this statement on his campaign site last week. We highlighted some of letter in our post last Friday.

"Don't Elect Tax Fraud Phil Liberatore" email sent out
Overnight I received the following email in my PERSONAL email, not the blog email. Which makes me wonder who else received it.
It talks about one of the lawsuits 42nd Congressional candidate Phil Liberatore was involved in and has links to the philliberatoreforcongress.com web site that Rep. Gary Miller put up.
####
DON'T ELECT TAX FRAUD PHIL LIBERATORE
You've Seen The Signs.
Now Read The Lawsuits.
Consider the facts:
Phil Liberatore champions himself as being able to solve your IRS tax problems.
His own staff sues him for making them "insert fraudulent and misleading information onto clients tax returns."
Phil Liberatore "settles" the lawsuit with his staff.
The Superior Court retains jurisdiction over the settlement to ensure the Liberatore follows through.
If your accountant, "took it upon himself to insert fraudulent information and otherwise revise, alter or modify proper tax returns... in order to submit said documents to the IRS and State of California" would you consider that "tax fraud?"
Likewise, if your accountant was accused of this type of illegal activity, would he/she "settle" the case or aggressively fight to clear his/her name? Considering Phil Liberatore has been involved in over 75 lawsuits, we'd expect him to fight to clear his name... He didn't. Why?
Don't elect Tax Fraud Phil to Congress.

Lee McGroarty also gets Negative Site
Yesterday we reported that Rep. Gary Miller had put up a negative Phil Liberatore web site that listed law suits Liberatore had been involved in, including being sued by the US Department of Labor for not paying his employees overtime.
Well, we have now found the negative Lee McGroarty for Congress site. Unlike the Liberatore site which only addressed his law suits, the Lee McGroarty site raises several issues about McGroarty.
They include,
"Did you know over the last 28 elections Lee McGroarty has not voted in 20 of them! "
"Did you know that Lee McGroarty made up false endorsements for his campaign?" (We raised that issue last year.)
"Did you know that Lee McGroarty had both of his business licenses SUSPENDED by the Franchise Tax Board of the State of California?" (We reported that last week)
"And did you know that Lee McGroarty is being investigated for 7 federal campaign finance violations by the Federal Election Commission (FEC)?" (We reported that last week)

Rep. Gary Miller comments on "Tax Fraud Phil" Signs
Earlier today we posted about a Phil Liberatore for Congress web site that lists lawsuits Phil Liberatore has been involved in. The list included being sued by the Department of Labor for not paying his employees overtime.
Now Miller has issued a comment on the signs that includes some of the lawsuits on the list. Note: I copied the comment off his site with links. So if they don't work I am sorry.

Rep. Gary Miller puts up Phil Liberatore site; Liberatore sued by U.S. Department of Labor for not paying overtime to employees
We received an email a few minutes ago with a link to a Phil Liberatore for Congress web site. I thought it was going to be the site of 42nd Congressional candidate Phil Liberatore but I was wrong.
Yesterday we posted that "Don't elect Tax Fraud Phil Liberatore" signs had gone up. Liberatore responded by calling the allegations, that were not specific, "completely false."
I think this website is the Miller response and I wonder if Liberatore now regrets his "completely false" comment.
The site starts by stating, "Did you know that Phil Liberatore has been involved in more than 75 lawsuits in just Los Angeles and Orange Counties? Did you know he has been sued by employees, clients, friends, business associates, and the Bush Administration’s U.S. Department of Labor?"
It lists several cases including the following. I tried to link to the pdf related to each case.

An interview with Phil Liberatore Part 1 of 4; New Comments on "Tax Fraud" signs
This week we will be posting our email interview with 42nd Congressional candidate Phil Liberatore. To be timely I wanted to post his comments on the "Tax Fraud" signs separately before posting the rest of the interview. He submitted this comment along with the rest of his answers.
We posted his comments just as we received it.
Liberatore is challenging Rep. Gary Miller, Lee McGroarty and David Su for the Republican nomination in the 42nd Congressional district.
Response to Gary Miller signs
Phil Liberatore: Incumbent Gary Miller recently placed signs around the district attacking me as “Tax Fraud” Phil. The charges are absolutely false and unfounded. I have never been under investigation, charged or convicted for tax fraud. I am a CPA with thousands of clients and not one person who I have prepared their tax return has ever been charged or convicted of tax fraud. What this tells me is that our campaign of talking about the issues and is resonating with people. From the voters I talk to Gary should be scared, as they are upset about the bailouts and lack of fiscal responsibility. I have fielded dozens of emails and calls today from people giving me their support from Gary’s campaign putting up the signs.
There is no truth to the charge of tax fraud it is just Gary Miller slinging mud.

Phil Liberatore Responds to "Tax Fraud" Signs
42nd Congressional candidate Phil Liberatore has issued a statement in regards to the "Don't Elect Tax Fraud Phil Liberatore" signs we posted about earlier today.
One thing I find interesting is that he calls the allegations "completely false," but never states what the allegations are. I doubt someone would put signs up like that without having proof of some kind. I guess we will have to wait and see. I am sure it will come out tomorrow since Liberatore has a press conference scheduled.

Anti Phil Liberatore Signs Up in Yorba Linda
Saw a sign this morning at the corner of Yorba Linda and Imperial Highway (and lots of other places after I noticed the first one) in Yorba Linda that said something like, "Don't Elect Tax Fraud Phil Liberatore." The words may not be exact but are close.
Liberatore is a CPA and calls himself the IRS Problem Solver.
