Out of touch, totally disrespectful and completely arrogant. These are all things that come to mind when I think of political elitists like California Sens. Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein.
A revolution is brewing and come 2010, a day of reckoning will alter the course of our future drastically.
Simply replacing the current evil (same old Democrats) with a lesser evil (Same old Republicans) will not do. It has been done before and is why corruption continues to rage-on despite shifts in power.

"I'm for what's right. Common sense to me is to secure our inalienable rights," DeVore said, adding that he thinks the state and federal government needs to stop intervening in our lives. That's not what government is for, after all.
While most politicians dabble in social networking for fluffy, nonsense communication and all but ignore constituent phone calls and e-mails anymore, DeVore was recognized by the Wall Street Journal for his outstanding use of online tools to communicate and stay relevant with voters and followers alike.
Oh, and remember that big budget, nightmarish tax-raising debacle earlier this year in Sacramento when our leaders wanted for nothing more than to add another Band-Aid to our gaping financial wound? DeVore was one of three Assemblymen that spoke out against the proposed hike that taxpayers eventually sent straight to hell.
But away from the Assembly, DeVore is zeroing in on the U.S. Senate seat currently held by multi-term incumbent Barbara Boxer.

DeVore was then reminded of a quote from ancient Greek Statesman Pericles, "Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you," he said.
While DeVore might be a master of the social networking scene and have an impressive political background, his voting record backs his common sense approach to politics.
I was hard pressed to ever find a "yes" vote in DeVore's past when it came to bills on spending more money on almost anything, or interfering in peoples' lives with more government.
Something I liked most of all was his strict "no" votes on wasteful cash-cow bills on the likes of global warming and renewable energy, even when it's all the rage right now.
If it raised taxes, he said "no." If it spent more, he said "no." If it was to add another set of regulations to an already complicated state to live in, he said "absolutely not."
And now the retired National Guard Lt. Colonel and former Irvine city commissioner wants to take his passion for what's right and no nonsense approach to the Senate.
It's not the people, it's the system. As long as the government has so much control over the futures of business and people, of course people and businesses will do whatever they can to influence the outcome.
The answer is to limit the control of government so that there is less incentive to corrupt the system.
Great article. Do you know if Chuck DeVore is planning to head up to Tuolumne County at all for any events? I would like to hear or see him in person.
I don’t know about events in Tuolomne Co. He’s in the Bay Area today.
If you’re on Facebook, sign up to the “Chuck DeVore for California Central Valley Supporters” page and they might be able to alert you to events in your area.
Look like he was last in Tuolomne County on August 24 at an RWF function in Sonora.
I must have totally missed the Aug 24 event. I will sign up. He must have a calendar of events somewhere. I just don’t want to end up with a RINO cause “a conservative just can’t get elected in California!” I disagree. I think a conservative can get elected here.
You can also check out his Senatorial campaign website (see post 1). He has an events tab.
