Gary Miller helps launch Reclaim American Jobs Caucus
Rep. Gary Miller, Rep. Lamar Smith (TX) and Rep. Sue Myrick (NC) have created the "Reclaim American Jobs Caucus." They announced this new caucus with a youtube video which lays out their goals and reason for the caucus.
The YouTube description states, "Today, Reps. Gary Miller (R-CA), Lamar Smith (R-TX), and Sue Myrick (R-NC) announced the newly formed Reclaim American Jobs Caucus. This caucus seeks to highlight the relationship between the unemployment crisis and illegal immigration."
Miller had this on his website.

Reclaim American Jobs Caucus Focuses on Putting Americans Back to Work
Washington, Mar 19 -
Today on Capitol Hill, Members of Congress announced a new caucus that will focus on putting millions of Americans back to work. Currently, 15 million Americans are unemployed, while an estimated 8 million illegal immigrants are employed.
The Reclaim American Jobs Caucus is a 40 Member, bipartisan caucus, headed by Reps. Lamar Smith, Sue Myrick, and Gary Miller. As the national unemployment rate stubbornly hovers around 10 percent, the caucus will work to highlight the link between illegal immigration and record unemployment in the United States.
“If the immigration laws we have on the books were enforced, we could cut unemployment in half,” Rep. Smith said. “American citizens and legal immigrants should not have to compete for jobs with those here illegally.”
“We need to turn off the employment magnet that draws undocumented workers,” Rep. Myrick said. “By encouraging employers to use E-Verify and increasing worksite enforcement, we make sure that Americans and legal immigrants are able to get back to work.”
“At home in California, almost weekly I hear from my constituents that illegal immigration is exacerbating the unemployment crisis and the facts validate their concerns,” Rep. Miller said. “Although 2.2 million Californians are unemployed, nearly 1.9 million illegal immigrants are employed. This is simply unacceptable and is an affront to unemployed American and legal workers. The Reclaim American Jobs Caucus seeks to encourage the Obama administration to enforce existing immigration laws so that the unemployed have increased opportunities to go back to work.”

42nd Candidate Liberatore Ballot Designation rejected
From the Liberatore campaign.

Playing Politics With the IRS Problem Solver: California's Democratic Secretary of State Deborah Bowen Rejects Congressional Candidate Phil Liberatore's Ballot Identification
WHITTIER, Calif., March 18 /PRNewswire/ -- California's top elected Democrat, Secretary of State Deborah Bowen, has rejected Republican Congressional candidate Phil Liberatore's ballot designation, alleging that Liberatore's description as "IRS Problem Solver," is broad and associated with an entity or organization. But Liberatore, known across Southern California as the "IRS Problem Solver" from thousands of radio ads that have aired offering his tax resolution services, is fighting back:
"I've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years advertising here and listeners know me as the IRS Problem Solver who solves problems with the Internal Revenue Service," said Liberatore.
Liberatore is challenging GOP veteran Gary Miller in a district that stretches across three Southern California counties from Mission Viejo to Whittier, offering a tough challenge to the incumbent Miller in a campaign highlighting Miller's support of President Obama's agenda, voting in favor of the TARP bailout bills. Liberatore is also a published author whose book "An Inside Look At The IRS," will hit bookstores this Spring.
"For the past 15 years on 99.5FM KKLA, Phil has been known as the 'IRS Problem Solver,'" noted Frank Pastore, host of The Frank Pastore Show. "Ask any of our tens of thousands of listeners, many of whom live in his congressional district, who the IRS Problem Solver is and they'll know that you're referring to Phil– he simply is the IRS Problem Solver. To reject his well-deserved brand name, smacks of the type of petty electoral politics Californians have come to detest. I wonder who's afraid of allowing Phil to use the name he is known by?"
Liberatore promises an appeal:
"This is plainly politics," he responded. "Secretary Bowen knows how much Americans dislike the IRS and she doesn't like the fact that it is part of who I am and is seeking to limit the information that voters can have. I trust voters to make an informed decision about who can best represent them and I am determined to go to Washington to alleviate the influence of the IRS over American lives. This is just the first of many speed bumps ahead placed by career politicians who are fighting change."
To schedule an interview with Mr. Liberatore please contact Mike Martin at 714-310-3062 or mailto:press@liberatoreforcongress.com. More information available at http://www.liberatoreforcongress.com/.

California Republican Assembly Endorses Hagman and Miller
The California Republican Assembly (CRA) have made their June primary endorsements. Locally they endorsed Assemblyman Curt Hagman and Congressman Gary Miller.
Of the endorsements currently reported, the CRA endorsed in nine Congressional races, two state Senate races and twelve Assembly races. I noticed that they endorsed challenger Clay Thibodeau instead of Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack.
Endorsement by the CRA requires a two-thirds vote of the members/delegates voting.
They did make local endorsements in Orange County so check out the list if you are an OC resident.

IV Daily Bulletin gets it wrong, SGV Tribune and Whittier Daily News get it right
The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin has an article by Sandra Emerson today about who filed for the June primary elections. Unfortunately there information is, once again, wrong and incomplete.
In reporting about the 60th Assembly District they report that Curt Hagman is unopposed. However, yesterday Democrat Gregg Fritchle filed his papers in Los Angeles County.
In their coverage of the 42nd Congressional race they only mention that David Su and Lee McGroarty are challenging Rep. Gary Miller for the Republican nomination, forgetting about Phil Liberatore who filed in Los Angeles County. They also fail to mention that Democrat Michael Williamson and Libertarian Mark Lambert are on the ballot.
Maybe the reporter didn't realize that a legislative district can include more than one county and only looked at San Bernardino county filings. The San Gabriel Valley Tribune and Whittier Daily News, owned by the same company as the Daily Bulletin, didn't make the same mistake when reporting about the races. Both mention Fritchle in the 60th and report about all candidates in the 42nd.
In January, the Daily Bulletin published a similar story that failed to mention candidates in the 42nd race and 32nd State Senate race. Maybe the newspapers need to share notes so the Daily Bulletin doesn't make this mistake for a third time in a row on the next story.

Norby may be facing a Democratic challenger, but we will have to wait until Monday to find out. Democrat Esiquio Ramos Uballe returned the paper work today but has not officially qualified for the ballot yet. This probably means that the signatures on the nomination form still have to be verified.

Bill Simon Endorses Liberatore in 42nd
Former Gubernatorial candidate Bill Simon has endorsed Republican candidate Phil Liberatore in 42nd Congressional race. The 42nd seat is currently held by Republican Rep. Gary Miller.
Simon said, "I am pleased to add my endorsement to Phil Liberatore for Congress in the 42nd District. All of us long for a breath of fresh air to sweep through our government-both State and Federal – and Phil is just that. As a CPA, USC Graduate, devoted husband, father and successful businessman, Phil brings honesty, integrity and accountability to government. The worst news for Washington is the voters of the 42nd in California are sending a CPA to Washington who intends to scrutinize both the budget and government. Please remember your voice matters and your vote counts! Vote on June 8th!"

Hagman looks to be unopposed
With just two days remaining to file for the 2010 elections, conservative Assemblyman Curt Hagman looks to be unopposed in the primary and general election. Hagman has done a good job in his first term and his conservative voting record has helped him avoid a recall attempt like neighboring Assemblymembers have faced.
Hagman filed his reelection paperwork on Monday.

Rep. Miller, David Su appear in article about Congress' Approval Rating
The Daily Bulletin has an article about Congress' slumping approval rating and possible reasons for it. It features some interesting quotes from Rep. Gary Miller on how many people contact his office in a week (about 1,000) and how he interacts with them. I was surprised
David Su is the challenger the Daily Bulletin choose to talk to about Miller. He had several quotes including "A lot of people in my area don't even know who Congressman Gary Miller is. I think that's a problem. When he comes back from Washington, he is never at public events."

The List of Possible Political Drop Outs
With three more days of candidate filing left I thought I would look at the list of candidates who may be rethinking their plans.
Below are individuals who took out signature in-lieu (SIL) forms to lower the cost of the filing fee, but have not yet pulled nomination papers. Nomination papers must be filed to place your name on the ballot.
Maybe they are just waiting until the last minute, but this could also be the first indication of a possible drop out.
