My leanings so far...

State Superintendent of Public Instruction: Diane A. Lenning. Edges out Bunting on family values and 2nd Amendment rights. Good article on her stand at CWA.

Proposition 81: $600 million in bonds! No! We spent $9 billion on illegal alien welfare last year, yet the state can’t find one dime in money for libraries, and has to borrow money again?

Proposition 82: Tax the rich even more? No. I don't make $800,000, but I know I'd just consider moving if I did.

FWIW, Sonny Sardo is an excellent choice to replace Drier.

Sardo is an ex-Marine, pro sovereignty candidate that has been supporting good conservatives for as long as I have known him.

He's an long time Republican who still remembers what the party should be standing for.

My next posts will be Santa Clara County, San Jose city, and districts listed above.

I'll post the links at CA Freepers:

Otherwise I won't be pinging except to people who ask me to.

[ErnBatavia]

Is Sonny Sardo part of that Glendale Sardo family that lived up Chevy Chase canyon when I was a teenager?

They were quite a group...moved in, complete with something like a dozen Sardo kids and before long had a lock on the auto upholstery biz for the area.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Easy choice for me... Anti-Prop 82, not a tool of the union goons.

NO on 82

Don't allow them to fund more of the union money machine and use our children as guinea pigs for their mindless propaganda campaigns. Don't feed big government, don't put private sector preschools out of business.

---

And of course no on 81. More bonds, more bonds for something that should be funded on the local level (do you want to pay for libraries in L.A.?), and why are our schools churning out illiterates and "educating" illegals? Bah.

[DoughtyOne]

Same folks.

Sony has a brother named Tony. Tony has a band that plays for all the conservative rallys held at a La Canada friend of mine.

It's a country western group and easy to listen to.
