He is Risen
Matthew 28:1-10 (NIV)
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.
His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.
Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."

Lee McGroarty comments on $5700 paid to Erik Brown
On Tuesday we posted that 42nd Congressional candidate Lee McGroarty had paid Erik Brown $5700 during the 4th quarter of 2009 for services to his campaign. Brown is the owner of Dynamic Marketing Inc. He received media attention this week for seeking reimbursement from the Republican National Committee for nearly $2000 spent at a sex themed club.
The McGroarty campaign has now put out a statement.
####
Due to recent revelations regarding Erik Brown and DMI Direct, the McGroarty for Congress Campaign feels it is necessary to comment on the short relationship the campaign had with DMI Direct last year. The campaign and DMI Direct had a working agreement from October 26th, 2009 to November 11th, 2009. During that period the McGroarty for Congress Campaign paid DMI Direct a total of $5,700 for consulting and media services. The campaign perceived the services of DMI Direct as lacking and brought into question the business practices and integrity of DMI Direct and Erik Brown. Soon after these questions were risen, both parties agreed to terminate the working agreement.

Liberatore Hearing Tomorrow
42nd Congressional Candidate Phil Liberatore has a hearing tomorrow at 10:30 in Sacramento about his ballot designation. Secretary of State Debra Bowen wouldn't let Liberatore use the ballot designation "IRS Problem Solver," because he used the word IRS. Liberatore sued on Monday in an effort to use the designation.
Prediction: Liberatore Loses. "IRS" cannot be used and "Problem Solver," is not a job title. This case looks straight forward. I was surprised he would waste his money on lawyers to fight this case. But maybe he is doing it to get media attention.
Problem is the only major media to pick up the story, The Hill, thinks he is suing to use "IRS Problem Solver," instead of his name, "Phil Liberatore." Hilarious.
Make sure to vote in our poll which asks if Liberatore should be able to use, "IRS Problem Solver."

Phil Liberatore Sues Secretary of State
42nd Congressional Candidate Phil Liberatore sued the Secretary of State on Monday, after the Secretary rejected Liberatore's ballot designation of "IRS Problem Solver." Liberatore also operates a business by a similar name, IRS Problem Solvers.

When GOP congressional candidate Phil Liberatore filed to run in a GOP primary in Southern California, he thought he was facing one opponent in a race to replace incumbent Republican Congressman Gary Miller, a race Liberatore had decided to make when Miller voted in favor of the TARP bailout. However, when California's Democratic Secretary of State Deborah Bowen denied his requested ballot identification, IRS Problem Solver, Liberatore quickly realized he would have to face two opponents. On Monday, Liberatore punched back, filing a lawsuit against Bowen in state court in Sacramento demanding that he be allowed to use the name by which people in his district have come to know him.
"Like my opponent, Ms. Bowen is a career politician who doesn't want the voters to know that I battle the IRS on behalf of thousands of citizens. I am determined to beat my opponents in this race and go to Washington to fight against the IRS on behalf of taxpayers--while I'm there I will do everything to roll back the Obama health care plan and defund the 16,500 IRS agents he plans to hire to enforce it."
Liberatore filed his original request in March, asking to be designated IRS Problem Solver on the ballot for the June 8th primary election in the 42nd Congressional District which stretches across three counties from Whittier to Mission Viejo. Bowen's office rejected his request, stating that California code prohibited the use of "IRS" in ballot designations.
"For years, I have identified myself to the public and to my clients as the IRS Problem Solver because, simply stated, my occupation and vocation is solving my client's problems with the IRS," Liberatore, who is also the author of the forthcoming book "An Inside Look At the IRS," declared in his petition. "Indeed, I devote more than sixty hours per week solving my clients' IRS problems. With members of the public, prospective clients, and clients, I always identify my occupation as IRS Problem Solver."
A hearing on the matter has been scheduled for April 1st at 10:30 AM.

Assemblyman Hagman Bill Passes Assembly Committee
From the Office of Assemblyman Curt Hagman.
Assemblyman Hagman's Bill To Help Chino Valley Unified Passes The Assembly Education Committee
AB 1988 Exempts CVUSD From a Possible Fine of $7 MillionSacramento- Assemblyman Curt Hagman (R- Chino Hills) is pleased to announce the passage of AB 1988 through the Assembly Education Committee. The bill saves taxpayer dollars while exempting Chino Valley Unified from a $7 Million fine.
Assembly Bill 1988 would deem Chino Valley Unified School District to have completed 180 days of instruction in the 2008-09 school year for the purposes of computing any instructional time penalty associated with the Longer Year Incentive program, as long as the district follows a list of requirements.
"This is a common sense bill. The District made a mistake and they're being properly punished for it. There is no need to further misuse taxpayer funds. I am proud that the Education Committee found it wise to put the bill through without a problem. This bill will help this district stretch their education resources during a time when they're already stretched thin" said Assemblyman Hagman.

McGroarty calls bill reforming Birthright Citizenship "Unconstitutional"
42nd Congressional candidate Lee McGroarty recently updated the immigration section of his campaign web site. He removed several paragraphs discussing what to do with illegal aliens after sealing the border to allow them to stay in the country, which I call amnesty. He added several paragraphs criticizing Rep. Gary Miller for his efforts to ban children born to illegal immigrants from receiving automatic citizenship. These children are commonly referred to as "anchor babies."
According to Numbers USA there are three bills that have been introduced in Congress to reform Birthright Citizenship. Rep. Gary Miller is the sponsor of H.R. 994 the LEAVE Act, and co-sponsor of H.R. 1868.
Miller's bill has 15 co-sponsors including local Reps. John Campbell, David Dreier, Brian Bilbray, Buck McKeon and Dana Rohrabacher.
H.R. 1868, sponsored by Rep. Nathan Deal of Georgia, has 90 co-sponsors. The co-sponsors include Rep. Mike Pence (IN), who is third in House Republican leadership, and California Reps. Tom McClintock, John Campbell, Ed Royce, Darrell Issa, Dana Rohrabacher, Brian Bilbray, Ken Calvert, Duncan Hunter, Dan Lungren, Wally Herger and Buck McKeon.
McGroarty wrote, "He (Rep. Gary Miller) has sponsored what I consider to be an unconstitutional bill that would not allow citizenship to be conferred to anyone born here to parents who are here illegally. Some call these "anchor babies"."
McGroarty goes on to say, "Historically, our nation has always recognized citizenship to a person born on U.S. soil, regardless of the status of their parents. The reason we're talking about this issue is because it's become a serious problem. Yet, having a problem doesn't seem to me to be sufficient reason to start interpreting and applying the Constitution in a different fashion than we've done for hundreds of years. Political expediency is NEVER a reason to trample the Constitution."
Finally McGroarty says, "Congressman Miller is grandstanding on the wrong side of the Constitution with this bill."
George Will's column in the Daily Bulletin today (DB doesn't have the article online so I linked to Wash Post) discusses the birthright citizenship issue. Will wrote that reforming the 14th amendment would bring it "into conformity with what the authors of its text intended, and with common sense, thereby removing an incentive for illegal immigration."

David Su on the passage of the Health Care Bill

Su and Rep. Gary Miller are the only 42nd Congressional candidates that have currently issued statements on the passage of the Health Care bill.
####
My take on this healthcare Bill, House Resolution 3962. I must say I was absolutely shocked, enraged, angry, and speechless by what I saw last night.
In the history of the United States, for the first time, I did not see democracy, I saw dictatorship in the so called, "Land of the Free." More than 60% of the American people did not want this bill to pass. I always thought America was suppose to be a nation where the will of the people dictated the outcome of everything, but I guess that changed last night. I am aganist the Healthcare Bill because of several reasons.
1.) It does not guarantee coverage for all Americans. It only covers 96% of America and President Obama stated that he was going to cover everyone since the beginning of this Presidency. So another broken promise, but this time to the 4% of Americans who will not have health insurance, that's 13.2 million people out of a population of approximately 330 million Americans.
2.) This bill will decrease the access to quality healthcare. Doctors and hospitals will be more overwhelmed, more over exerted, and the ratio of physicians to patients will double if not triple. As if there isn't a long enough wait time in our emergency rooms all across the nation, this will cause more and more complexity.
3.) What scares me the most, is the provisional clause called, "Individual Mandate" which I will break it down in a simple summarization. This clause clearly states, if you are an individual and you do not purchase health insurance based off the standards that the US Government sets, you will pay a fine of 1% of your annual gross income or $95.00 which ever is greater. If you don't pay that, you will succumb to a 2.5% tax penalty based off your annual gross income. If you don't pay that you can face prison time. So, if 13.2 million people who live in this country cannot afford health insurance, can they afford to pay these penalities? Are we going to put over 13 million people, if not more in federal prison because they cannot afford health insurance? This is not democracy, but dictatorship.
4.) The right to choose your physician and the decision whether you live or die will now be in the hands of the US Government. I know this may seem harsh, but this is reality. They will decide whether or not you will fight aganist a disease based off of putting a price tag on human life. Example 1, if your chances of surviving a treatment or to fight aganist a chronic ailment is low, the government can deny you treatment just like a private insurance can because that individual will cost too much money. But who is the government to tell people that they don't have the right to fight aganist a disease and do everything they can to live.
5.) $940 Billion dollars and in the next ten years, $1.5 trillion dollars in spending. Americans right now cannot simply afford this bill. This is not the solution to solve America's imperfect healthcare system. The taxes will skyrocket and hurt middle income class families. The economic consequences will be greatly negative.
I have the solution to reduce the cost of healthcare which I will post on a later date on my website. I know this is on everyone's minds and I have been thinking about this for the longest time as well. The moment the bill passed, I looked at my parents, my uncles and aunts as they will be greatly affected by this since they are part of the baby boomer generation. Billions of dollars being cut from medicaid and medicare.
Final Note: I am pro-life and a firm believer in protecting the sanctity of life not because I am a Republican, but because I am a servant of Christ. God states in the bible that abortion is murder and that it is a sin. President Barack Obama stated he is going to sign an executive order to make the language regarding not federally funding abortion stronger. I don't believe the president at this moment because he has broken too many promises and has gone back on too many deals. I feel he will overturn this and somehow, someway he will make abortion legal and open to being funded by the federal government.
This is a sad day in America and I feel that there will be more of this to come. I am urging all Americans to stand with me and pray. Pray that God will give the current leaders in this country some wisdom and make them realize what they are doing is going to cause more future human suffering and poverty.
Please stand with me, please pray with me and I know together we can make this country great again. I know I cannot do this alone. This is the very reason why I am running, to restore America, to give it back to the people, to come up with better solutions and improve the quality of life for all Americans.

Statement from Gary Miller on Health Care bill
Statement from Rep. Gary Miller on Health Care bill.
####
Capitol Connection Special Edition
Washington, Mar 22 -
Dear Constituent:
Last night, the House of Representatives passed a government takeover of America’s health care system. I am writing today to explain why I opposed this legislation. This bill will place Americans’ health care decisions into the hands of government bureaucrats and imposes a host of new taxes and Medicare cuts.
Recognizing the extremely difficult procedural and political hurdles facing the health care bill should normal process be followed, the Congressional Democrat Leadership elected to utilize a rarely used parliamentary procedure known as reconciliation. Under the reconciliation process, a separate bill containing amendments to the Senate health care legislation would only need the votes of 51-members of the 100-member U.S. Senate in order to proceed. Traditionally, 60 Senators would need to vote for a measure to move through procedural hurdles. The reconciliation procedure is supposed to be limited to provisions that directly affect taxes and spending and to control the size of government. As you know, this bill will have the opposite affect by increasing taxes and the role of the federal government, which is why I strongly objected to the abuse of this process.
Despite modifications made, the fact remains that the final health care package adopted last evening creates 159 new boards, bureaucracies, and programs – including a new entitlement program – that will impact the quality of health care for every American. The cost of these new programs is expected to exceed $2.6 trillion once the bill’s provisions are fully implemented. To pay for this huge government expansion, the legislation raises $569.2 billion in new taxes over the next ten years. The package also makes $528.5 billion in cuts to Medicare, slashing Medicare Advantage by $202 billion, leaving seniors with reduced benefits and fewer choices. In fact, the Congressional Budget Office has determined that almost 5 million seniors will be denied access to an affordable Medicare Advantage plan because of the legislation. Furthermore, it should be noted that the bill contains unrelated provisions eliminating private lenders in the student loan market. Under the bill, all student loans will be originated by the Federal Direct Loan program, thereby establishing a one-size-fits-all government takeover that eliminates competition and consumer choice, and could result in the loss of 30,000 jobs nationwide.
Families and small-businesses deserve access to affordable, high-quality health coverage. While no one doubts that our current system is in need of improvement, any reforms must ensure that the federal government does not interfere in the doctor-patient relationship, raise the deficit, increase taxes, or cut Medicare benefits. It is unfortunate that common-sense reforms such as allowing Americans to purchase insurance across state lines, medical liability reform, and expanding high-risk pools and reinsurance programs to allow those with pre-existing conditions to access affordable health care were not incorporated into the legislation passed by the House.
Health care reform legislation must strike the right balance that builds on what works and fixes what is broken. Unfortunately, this deeply flawed bill will not only limit patient choice but will increase premiums by 10 to 13 percent. As your Representative, I will continue to demand that Congress halt this government intrusion between you and your doctor and end its excessive mandates on our nation’s job creators.
Sincerely,

Capitol Connection Special Edition
Washington, Mar 22 -
Dear Constituent:
Last night, the House of Representatives passed a government takeover of America’s health care system. I am writing today to explain why I opposed this legislation. This bill will place Americans’ health care decisions into the hands of government bureaucrats and imposes a host of new taxes and Medicare cuts.
Recognizing the extremely difficult procedural and political hurdles facing the health care bill should normal process be followed, the Congressional Democrat Leadership elected to utilize a rarely used parliamentary procedure known as reconciliation. Under the reconciliation process, a separate bill containing amendments to the Senate health care legislation would only need the votes of 51-members of the 100-member U.S. Senate in order to proceed. Traditionally, 60 Senators would need to vote for a measure to move through procedural hurdles. The reconciliation procedure is supposed to be limited to provisions that directly affect taxes and spending and to control the size of government. As you know, this bill will have the opposite affect by increasing taxes and the role of the federal government, which is why I strongly objected to the abuse of this process.
Despite modifications made, the fact remains that the final health care package adopted last evening creates 159 new boards, bureaucracies, and programs – including a new entitlement program – that will impact the quality of health care for every American. The cost of these new programs is expected to exceed $2.6 trillion once the bill’s provisions are fully implemented. To pay for this huge government expansion, the legislation raises $569.2 billion in new taxes over the next ten years. The package also makes $528.5 billion in cuts to Medicare, slashing Medicare Advantage by $202 billion, leaving seniors with reduced benefits and fewer choices. In fact, the Congressional Budget Office has determined that almost 5 million seniors will be denied access to an affordable Medicare Advantage plan because of the legislation. Furthermore, it should be noted that the bill contains unrelated provisions eliminating private lenders in the student loan market. Under the bill, all student loans will be originated by the Federal Direct Loan program, thereby establishing a one-size-fits-all government takeover that eliminates competition and consumer choice, and could result in the loss of 30,000 jobs nationwide.

42nd Congressional Candidate Su on Health Care Bill
David Su, Republican candidate for Congress in the 42nd, wrote the following on his campaign's facebook page Friday.
Ok, so if you haven't heard from all over the news the Democrats, President Obama and his administration plans to push hard on passing a really awful piece of legislation that will change this nation for the worst forever. We are talking about giving the most control to government and removing more liberty from the individual than ever before. President Barack Obama stated, "This will be a Victory for the American People." I'm saying no Mr. President, this is a victory for bigger government telling us what to do and undermining the will of the American people. The President must realize we live in a democracy and we have to go with what the majority of the American people want. More than 60% of the people do not want this bill! End of story!
YouTube Video of 42nd Candidate Liberatore Boxing
I found this 3 and a half minute youtube video of 42nd Congressional candidate Phil Liberatore boxing in front of his office building.
Liberatore is running for the Republican nomination in the 42nd Congressional district. The seat is currently held by Republican Rep. Gary Miller.
I was impressed with his 55+ pushups. I wouldn't want to fight him.
