Hi all,
With help from my son we passed out about exactly 180 fliers to those at the rally. We made up 200 of them for exactly $5.79. This is a great issue folks, most folks we talked to were not aware of the "Unintended Consequences" of SB 60 Which Davis signed this evening.
I gave extended information to the following Press:
Christian Science Monitor
San Diego Union-Tribune
Press-Enterprise
The Californian
A few others with the proper notepads or cameras.
California Republican Assembly
Senator Tom McClintock
Senator Hollingsworth
Tony Strickland (running against Barbara Boxer for US Senate)
Michael Naggar Mayor Pro-Tem of Temecula
I gave a couple interviews. One with the San Diego Tribune, and talked with a reporter from The Press Enterprise.
When I spoke with Senator McClintock, I had him for the longest, and the press had all their microphones and cameras at us.
But the biggest surprise was when I asked to have my picture taken with him. Apparently the press there had read or listened to the conversation I had with him earlier, and they took a ton of photos of the two of us.
I'll let you know if any show up. I doubt it, since their were some kids there.
My fear is that now that this bill has been signed into law, they will enact more laws for law abiding citizens instead of removing SB 60.
He didn't bring up my issue in the speech, but he did stick my info in his pocket and replied to me that "I had a good point and he had not thought of this issue that way".
My son said he enjoyed it, and hopefully we will have our pictures with the next Governor of California.
Regards,
Joe

DAVIS TO ALLOW illegal aliens to Buy Guns Dump Governor Davis, and here is the biggest reason why. I have not seen this issue raised anywhere but through my website, AboutPolitics.net.
Governor Davis will sign into Law a bill that will allow illegal aliens to get a Drivers License. HOW STUPID IS THAT- What that means is any terrorist, that once in California, gets a Drivers license very easily, can then go BUY GUNS. This is a national security issue that affects all California citizens, as well as our nation.
From the California DOJ website located here:
http://caag.state.ca.us/firearms/pubfaqs.htm
“2. What is the process for purchasing a firearm in California?
All firearms purchases and transfers, including private party transactions and sales at gun shows, must be made through a licensed dealer under the Dealer Record of Sale (DROS) process. California imposes a 10-day waiting period before a firearm can be released to a buyer or transferee. A person must be at least 18 years of age to purchase a rifle or shotgun. To buy a handgun, a person must be at least 21 years of age, and either 1) possess an HSC plus successfully complete a safety demonstration with the handgun being purchased or 2) qualify for an HSC exemption.
As part of the DROS process, the buyer must present "clear evidence of identity and age" which is defined as a valid, non-expired California Driver's License or Identification Card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles. A military identification accompanied by permanent duty station orders indicating a posting in California is also acceptable.
(PC Section 12071) "
The DROS (dealers record of sales of firearms), asks if you are a citizen, here is what the bottom of the DROS states:
(FALSIFICATION OF INFORMATION ON THIS FORM IS A MISDEMEANOR (PENAL CODE 12076)
Ask Governor Davis how many people have been prosecuted in 2002 for falsifying the DROS form. Makes you wonder, huh?
No longer will Social Security Numbers be required on drivers Licenses because of this bill, that Governor Davis signed, Which means when the DOJ does a check, it will most likely show up no record at all, which means the illegal alien gets the gun.
Share this information with your relatives, friends, neighbors, and loved ones immediately.

My Orginal Post yesterday regarding this issue can be found here:
I hope the democrats don't "fix" this inconvenient problem by making firearms purchases even more difficult for lawful CA residents.
Any bets on whether they try? M,mm?
Like, gun bans? Which of course will be justified by the possibility of illegals perpetrating fraud. I can hear Feinstein now.
There's one other unintended consequence of this outrage. It means that on January 1, all 100 million citizens of Mexico will be doing everything they can to get to California to get a license, because that license will mean de facto U.S. citizenship. Since something like 70% of all Mexican citizens have relatives in the U.S., and a significant majority of those are in California, getting an address to put down will be no problem. And the law explicitly allows the Matricula Consular card to be used for identification.
That means that virtually any Mexican national will now be able to get a California license, whether here for a day or the last 30 years.
By the way, if you talk to McClintock again, point out to him that the battle cry of the anti-187 gang was that "a state can't make an immigration law". 'Member that? Well, it would appear that the people who said that then are now the same people who just passed one.
Maybe some Republicans could get a clue and point that out.
Such a nice post.
When I spoke with Senator McClintock, I had him for the longest, and the press had all their microphones and cameras at us.
Fantastic grassroots work Sonar5. I hope you had your picture taken with the next Governor of the great state of California too. With the referendum Tom has mentioned to put SB60 on the March ballot-this issue is yet another for Tom to shine.
