This week California leaders of both parties produced the California Global Warming Solutions bill, which will become law as Governor Schwarzenegger has said he will sign it. (Previous post - updated 9/1/2006) This type of leadership on the most pressing issues facing our economy, our planet and our political environment signals a new era in America. The next step for California is to defeat incumbent Congressman Richard Pombo in November's election. Richard Pombo is a key ally of the disgraced former Speaker of the House, Tom Delay, who "cut and ran" from Congress after being indicted on corruption charges. Richard Pombo was the trigger man for many of convicted-felon Jack Abramoff's criminal activities. Richard Pombo wants to destroy California's vibrant tourism economy by drilling for oil on the coastline (against the wishes of Republican Governor Schwarzenegger). Richard Pombo is devilishly working to gut the endangered species act. In the emerging ethical-centrist political atmosphere, politicians like Richard Pombo are an endagered species, and this type of species (like the Plague or the Polio virus) should be extinct. These troubling times require a new type of political animal, who inspires Americans to bravely reach for greatness instead of fearfully sink to violence. California will not be sending Pombo back to Washington. No more corruption. No more selling of our national wildnerness heritage. No more support for Bush's Iraq debacle. Jerry McNerney is the grass-roots candidate who will defeat the slick political machine. Read more.
