MEG WHITMAN RAISES OVER $6.5 MILLION IN FIVE MONTHS

Gov. Romney’s pick for the Republican nomination for Governor of the beleaguered state of California, Meg Whitman, has gotten off to a fast start, according to her fund raising team.

Gov. Romney continues to enjoy a high level of success with his candidate picks, with the vast majority of them going on to be successful in their races.

From a personal standpoint, I wish that Ms. Whitman was pro-life, but if I can’t get everything I want in a candidate for statewide office, I’ll settle for a great businesswoman, who likes to cut taxes and keep government smaller, simpler and smarter.

CUPERTINO - Meg Whitman, Republican candidate for governor, announced today that her exploratory committee has raised more than $6.5 million since launching her campaign just five months ago. Whitman was the last Republican candidate to form an exploratory committee, yet she has quickly attracted contributions from every corner of California and far surpassed the other candidates’ fundraising totals during the first reporting period ending June 30, 2009.

“There is no more certain measure of enthusiasm for a candidate than heavy early campaign contributions. This unprecedented outpouring of support for Meg confirms the demand for a new style of leadership that creates jobs, cuts wasteful spending, and effectively manages state government,” said Campaign Chairman and former California Governor Pete Wilson. “Meg’s appeal reaches far beyond just traditional Republicans. She is attracting new donors and new voters to expand our party at a critical time. They are putting their money where their hearts and minds are.”

Of the more than $6.5 million total, 85 percent was raised from Californians. The campaign showed particular fundraising strength in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties, and in the Central Valley and San Francisco Bay Area. Whitman’s strength in the Bay Area is particularly encouraging given that her Republican opponents are from there as well.

Since announcing the formation of her gubernatorial exploratory committee on February 9, Whitman has described her vision to thousands of Californians, amassed prominent endorsements, traveled the state to attend grassroots events, and is building the campaign infrastructure needed to win the primary and general elections.

Meg Whitman, 52, retired from eBay in March 2008 following a decade with the company. She helped eBay grow from 30 employees and $4.7 million in revenue to more than 15,000 employees, almost $8 billion in revenue, and a network of 12 million users in California alone. Before eBay, Whitman distinguished herself in leadership positions with Procter & Gamble, Bain & Company, Disney, Stride Rite Corporation, FTD, and Hasbro. On February 9, 2009, she announced the formation of her Exploratory Committee for Governor of California.

This YouTube video says it better with the images it provides, than can be adequately expressed in words.

Here’s hoping the courageous Iranian people find a way to freedom and true representative democracy.

The Iranian Revolution and the New Media

We are witnessing one of the most compelling stories of the last 30 years unfold before our eyes. The collapse of the U.S.S.R. was another of those stories. The country that menaced America for over 40 years fell by it’s own weight, with a major assist by President Reagan.

Now we see the courageous Iranian people fighting the forces of totalitarianism in the streets. Young men and women, battling well armed later day Gestapo with chunks of concrete and moral authority.

Take a few minutes to view this riveting YouTube video of what may be a developing Iranian Revolution.

Obama’s Ridiculous Statement

June 17th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Mitt Romney

I seldom attribute such words to people, but sometimes, they are quite necessary. This is such an occasion; President Obama recently said that he thinks

the irony … is that [he] actually would like to see a relatively light touch when it comes to the government,

in a White House interview today. This statement just completely flabbergasts me.

Romney calls on Obama to speak out on Iran

Politico/Romney calls on Obama to speak out on Iran by Jonathan Martin

14 June 2009

Mitt Romney, a once and maybe future presidential candidate, calls Iran’s presidential results “a fraud” and urged President Barack Obama to speak out against the disputed re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Obama, Romney said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” should ”indicate that this has been a terribly managed decision by the autocratic regime in Iran.”

The former Republican Massachusetts governor also used the Iranian results to broaden his indictment of Obama, saying “it’s very clear that the president’s policies of going around the world and apologizing for America are not working.”

Romney cited the belligerence of Iran, North Korea and Russia and the refusal of European countries to offer significant troop increases for Afghanistan.

CARTER MEETS WITH WEST BANK SETTLERS TO ‘LISTEN’

June 14th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Foreign Affairs, Israil

What Jimmuh Carter does best is “listen.” What Barack Obama does best is “talk.” What conservatives do best is “work.” I’ll take the workers over the listeners and the talkers every time.

~~John Cronin~~

NEVE DANIEL, West Bank — Former President Jimmy Carter, an outspoken critic of Israeli settlements, met Sunday with West Bank settlers in what he described as a chance to “listen” and make his views known.

Carter met with settler leader Shaul Goldstein and others at the pastoral settlement of Neve Daniel, south of Jerusalem. Carter said he was “here to listen” to the settlers, and that he hoped to “make sure they understand my own attitude toward Israel and the Jewish population in the world and toward the Jewish settlers.”

Later, Carter sat in Goldstein’s living room, positioned under five books of the Hebrew Bible on a bookshelf.

“This is our homeland, but we recognize there are other people living next to us,” Goldstein told him, referring to the Palestinians, who view the West Bank as part of a future state.

Jewish settlement in the West Bank is one of the key points of dispute among Israelis and Palestinians. Much of the international community views settlements as an obstacle to a peace deal.
Settlers, and many Israelis, see the West Bank as the Jewish people’s Biblical heartland and say Israel should not cede it. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come under pressure from President Barack Obama to halt settlement construction, but has so far refused to do so.

Carter, 85, brokered the historic peace deal between Israel and Egypt in 1979. In a controversial 2007 book, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” Carter argued that Israel has to choose between ceding the West Bank to the Palestinians in a peace deal or maintaining a system of ethnic inequality similar to that of the apartheid regime in South Africa.

Views like that have made Carter unpopular among settlers and their supporters. A group of local settlers circulated an open letter titled, “Jimmy Carter go home,” saying the former president was an “anti-Semite” and “not welcome here.”

“Mr. Carter is an advocate for those seeking to destroy Israel, and the fact that he contributes to that agenda under the guise of a man of good will seeking peace only makes him more dangerous and his efforts more dishonest,” the letter said.
