Yeah, right. And he was just "fooled into believing...".
Orange County Register. Santa Ana, Calif.: Mar 11, 2000. pg. B.05
He calls himself a "new California Republican," bucking the "moderate" and "conservative" titles assigned to party members."I'm not even sure I know what (moderate and conservative) mean sometimes," he said. "The minute you use those labels, people get an image."
Campbell favors school vouchers, but only in poor areas. He opposes abortion rights, but is not willing to create a law to ban them. And he says illegal immigrants should be given the same benefits as everyone else, since the federal government has not controlled the border to prevent the immigrants from coming in.
On local issues, Campbell...wants to make sure all schools receive the same amount of money and wants to ensure that the coastline stays clean.

"[Campbell voted] in 2001 in favor of allowing undocumented residents who have been in California for a number of years to pay the state-resident fee at state universities.""[He explained] Republicans who voted for the bill were fooled into believing it would only apply to people who were on the verge of being sworn in as citizens. Later, he said, they learned it would be applied to anyone who simply said he wanted to be an American."
Intereesting stuff about Campbell! Thanks.
Well, I won't be voting in that election, but I will follow it and see who wins. There are several Democrats and Republicans running.
I still don't like Gilchirst, a candidate of the American Independent Party, minutemen or not.
Reinforces my impression of the guy: trying to straddle the issues, and not take any real stand.
Standard issue brand name politics, not what we need now.
"[Campbell voted] in 2001 in favor of allowing undocumented residents who have been in California for a number of years to pay the state-resident fee at state universities."
And both citations from the Orange County Register. Good work. As we have said, Campbell is an open-borders RINO. The candidate in the tradition of Reagan and Chris Cox is Jim Gilchrist.
