Just got this in an email. I'll be working for him on the ground. Whatever I can do to help will be a pleasure. I would love to see Boxer knocked out of office. I'm adopting the same attitude that Chaffetz in Utah had, a grassroots swell to victory. If anyone is interested in how we can coordinate or have suggestions PM me.

This is someone we can support. This man has fought for us against illegal immigration in CA. He has fought drivers licenses, the CA Dream Act (giving illegals college tuition), he stood up for the E-verify program that the Democrat Assembly tried to push through to PROHIBIT cities, counties, and the state using to verify that social security numbers actually belonged to an applicant for employment. This is a man we can support. Let's adopt a YES WE CAN attitude on this. We need help in CA and he's one of the best.




Today, at 1pm, I am announcing the start of a two-year long effort to defeat Barbara Boxer. You can immediately help us -- even if it's with only $10, at:

I am a candidate for the United States Senate in 2010. California deserves strong, active, and conservative representation in Washington, D.C. By 2010, an entire generation of Californians will have been born and grown to voting age, never having known a principled conservative — to say nothing of a Republican — representing them in the United States Senate. In 2010, we will change that.



I am a candidate for the United States Senate because I love America and its founding principles. My politics and my public career testify to my belief in those principles.



I believe our natural rights are inherent to our humanity, not a grant from government.



I believe the role of government is limited to securing our rights from external danger and internal lawlessness.



I believe that when government exceeds this mandate, our liberty is at risk. As George Washington said, "Government is not reason, it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."



I believe that for too long now, our elected representatives have softly encouraged us to give up our independence to government. Year after year, we see government's responsibilities grow while our personal liberty shrinks.



This terrible progression of state power at the expense of our natural liberties is not purely the fault of Democrats. There are plenty of Republicans who bear blame as well — as we have seen here in California, and in Washington, D.C., over the past decade.



I am confident we will win that fight. I am confident that when Californians have a real choice between me and Barbara Boxer — it will be an easy choice for them.



You see, I want Californians to keep their hard-earned money.



I want to lower fuel and energy costs by producing more of America's oil, and building modern, safe and reliable nuclear power plants.



I want to rein in runaway Federal spending.



I want to bring a conservative leadership to Washington, D.C., that actually works.



California is my home, and I love it second only to my God and my family. Like so many, I came here as a child, when my family decided to earn their piece of the California dream. I worked my way through that dream, paying for my own college as a union carpenter, and serving in the United States Army. That dream has been good to us, and I am a candidate for the United States Senate because I want to restore it and defend it.



We have a long road ahead. But I know that with the grace of God, the courage of our convictions, and the blessings of the good people of California, our best days are yet to come.



Thank you, and may God bless our great state.
