DerManuel reporting that ALL MAJOR Fresno Republicans are rallying to see the ouster of Samuelian from office. Samuelian continues to shun voters, and offer smug retorts to his alleged actions to solicit in seedy parts of Fresno. See his statement below....

Samuelian in dispute with critic

Last week, a person spoke at a Fresno County Republican Central Committee meeting about the professional conduct of Clovis Assembly Member Steve Samuelian.

Clayton Smith, a Fresno resident who works in the building industry and is active in local GOP politics, alleged Samuelian manipulated people and was willing to step on anybody to gain power.

He talked about actions by Samuelian that some call savvy politics but others consider inappropriate -- especially when aimed at fellow Republicans.

Later in the week, David Althausen, Samuelian's Capitol director, called Smith's employer. Althausen wanted a written apology to Samuelian or for Smith to be fired.

Smith confirmed the phone call was made, and shared e-mails from his supervisors that addressed the call.

Althausen, who was not at the Central Committee meeting, told Smith's bosses that Smith had stormed in, demanded to be heard and, in criticizing Samuelian, said he was speaking on behalf of his employer.

Not true, Smith said later, and Jane Parsons, who chairs the Central Committee, agreed.

Asked if Smith spoke on behalf of his employer, she said: "Absolutely not." Parsons and other attendees said Smith was on the agenda and was polite.

Althausen declined to comment, and Samuelian did not return phone calls.

Meanwhile, I'm FReeping Nicole Parra Saturday. Why don't you join me and do something constructive for a change. Here's the link:

You are going to go down with the Valley Republicans who can't get enough of trashing Steve Samuelian. It's like you're obsessed. Get over it and get on with stomping DEMOCRATS for God's sake!!

[JudgeAmint]

It's none of your business - or mine - why Steve Samuelian was having dinner with Henry Perea. Why do you care?
 

None of my business?  I don't understand why folks run for office, live a life of secrecy, and then get P.O.d if people inquire of their actions.

My question remains,

1.    Why is the "most conservative" by your account Representative having a private dinner with the "most liberal" up and coming councilman in the San Joaquin Valley?

Hmmmm???

Why don't you join me and do something constructive for a change

And I am stomping demoncrats...I have signed the Recall Davis initiative....and I hope you have as well.

[Saundra Duffy]

Steve Samuelian has no record. See what I mean? Why do you believe the Fresno Bee? In all other matters, you know the Bee is a lying piece of trash. But when it comes to Steve Samuelian, you hang on their every word, trying to squeeze every tid bit of filth you can. GET OVER IT ALREADY. We should be going after Democrats. Steve's wife is ready to deliver. I guess the Valley cannibals waited until now to dump this crap. Sheeeeeesh. It's almost laughable if it weren't so tragic.

I wish Steve Samuelian would sue the pants off of all of you! That's what he should do.

[JudgeAmint]

P.S. it isn't obsession SD, it is called breaking local news, and I am sorry you are so offended by the discussion of the character of a sitting politician.

[Saundra Duffy]

Lager and I gathered 150 signatures on the Recall Davis petition. How many names have you gotten?

[JudgeAmint]

Sue for what, discussing the highest rated News Talk Radio show in town? Come on, those are tactics the other side uses to squelch discussion, can you say, CONDIT?

[JudgeAmint]

4 sheets, but my sister-in-law is helping now. But you have more....well done!

[Saundra Duffy]

First of all, Jane Parsons should be sued and kicked out as Chair of the Central Committee for being a part of this nightmare. Next, the City Attorney should be sued for letting this turn into a media circus and witch hunt when they knew all along that Steve DID NOTHING WRONG!! And finally, the GOP holier-than-thou leaders in the Valley should be sued for trashing a sitting Assemblyman. They just can't get enough of this story - I guess because their sick little minds wander to the sex angle. Sheeeeesh

[Saundra Duffy]

Does Steve Samuelian need to get your permission before he has dinner with a democrat? He has to work with a lot of democrats in Sacramento, you know.

[JudgeAmint]

NO, permission is not required. Sorry to get you riled up, I thought it was an interesting matter and knew you had the facts for a fun discussion. I apologize...

[JudgeAmint]

I will hold further JudgeAmint until more details come out, is that reasonable?

[Saundra Duffy]

Thanks. By the way, here's the story we should be concentrating on today:

905 Fraudulent Votes Found in 30th Assembly District by Dean Gardner Volunteers. Investigation Centered on Kern County Portion of 30th Assembly Dist.

Today, Dean Gardner, made the following statement at a news conference in Bakersfield, Ca.

“For the last 30 years, I have heard about voter fraud in California, but it did not affect me directly and like you, I didn’t pay much attention. I didn’t realize how much voter fraud impacts all of us until recently.

In the seven months since the election, we have looked in detail at 2,460 of the 14,000 recently registered Democrat voters in Kern County that are registered to vote in the 30th Assembly District. I was shocked and dismayed by what we found.

I cannot give you any names or addresses because of the ongoing investigations.

In order to cast a legal vote in California, the voter must be at least 18 years old, must be alive, must be a Citizen of the United States, must not be a felon on parole, must be registered to vote and live in that district and that voter can vote only one time in that election.

Of the 2,460 voters that were examined 905 of these people in this sample cast fraudulent ballots.

For example, we found:

69 people actually admitted voting at least twice. These are just the ones who admitted it.

93 people admitted that they voted but are not citizens of the United States. They were told that if they registered and voted, it would help them get their citizenship.

272 people actually admitted that they do not live in the 30th Assembly District but that they voted in the 30th Assembly District

We found people that changed the spelling of their name slightly so that they could register and vote a second time. Someone named William also registered as Bill. We found people with the same name registered at the same address whose birthdays were exactly one year or one day apart. By changing their birth date, one person became two people with two votes.

The biggest problem that we found was the number of people who showed up at the polls and voted using someone else’s name. We have testimony from people who report that they went to vote and found that their name had already been used. People impersonated the legitimate voter. How did they do that? A lot of people are registered but don’t vote. Hanging on the wall in every polling place in the State of California is a list of the people that are eligible to vote at that polling place. By state law, every two hours, an election worker up dates the list with the names of the people who have voted. The cheaters send in someone with a cell phone to call back to the
headquarters with the names of the people who have not voted. People claiming to be those people miraculously show up and vote.

We found 905 fraudulent ballots out of 2,460 voters. You do the math. Divide 905 by 2,460 you will get 37%. We estimate that 37% of the newly registered Democrat voters who voted in the Kern County portion of the 30th Assembly District cast fraudulent votes.

What we found in Kern County was seen all over California. Some places worse than others. There is a well oiled and well funded fraud machine run by liberal special interest groups that may be electing people to the legislature who should not be there and they are destroying our freedoms in California.

Let me give you some examples of the fraud. We have people who registered in October at a house that burned down two years ago. We have people registered to addresses that don’t exist. We have people who voted last November at the polls who actually moved to the Philippines two years ago.

I personally spoke to one man who admitted voting four times. I asked him why and he said that he cared more than most. I went with a volunteer to one house at random where seven votes originated and asked the woman how many people lived there. She said three. When asked about the other four voters, she said that her two daughters and their husbands always use her address to vote. They do not live in the 30th Assembly District. They just vote here.

The information that we have discovered was turned over to the Kern County District Attorney’s Office and to the Secretary of State’s fraud unit six months ago.

We have just handed the same information to the US Attorney’s Office.

Voter fraud is an attack on our basic freedoms and I cannot and will not sit back and watch it continue.

Last November, California voters turned down ‘same day voter registration’. Well, the liberal special interest groups in Sacramento did not get the message, because the Assembly just passed a bill allowing for same day registration in Alameda County. They call it a pilot program. We can not rely on the special interest liberals in Sacramento to stop the voter fraud. As you know, under current law identification is not required either to register or to vote, in fact, if you, as a poll worker or election official, ask a person to prove their identity, you have broken the law.

Therefore, I am announcing that immediately after the Gray Davis Recall is completed, I will sponsor a statewide initiative that will help clean up the voter fraud problem. It will require proof of eligibility and proof of identity when a person registers to vote and proof of identity when a person does vote.

If you buy something and write a check or use a credit card, you must have identification. If you want to get on an airplane in you must show photo id. It seems logical to me to require people to produce identification when they vote. It seems ridiculous to me that we allow people to walk into the polls, point at a name and say, “That’s me” and vote without any verification as to their identity.

One man told me “If we didn’t cheat, we couldn’t win”.

We have a group of people with no integrity attacking our basic freedoms. As you know, I served in the military and I swore to protect the Constitution of the United States. This is one way I can help do that. It is time to put California back in the hands of the people.”

Parra is the victor of a spoiled and corrupt election...I agree with your assessment SD.

Riiight...and I'm just off the turnip truck, too.

Refresh my memory, please, but he was seen cruising a known hooker hangout at 10pm, enough to arouse the suspicions of a cop on duty, and he says he got "lost"..when in fact he experienced a very traumatic event(busted!) some 4 years previous in the SAME LOCATION... and he didn't know where he was? Stands to reason that a man driving around a local hooker hangout late at night is looking for hookers!Is that too filthy a thought for you to understand?

[JudgeAmint]

BTTT

[Saundra Duffy]

Get your brain out of the toilet, please. By the way - this statement by Der Manouel: "ALL MAJOR Fresno Republicans are rallying to see the ouster of Samuelian from office" IS A DAMN LIE!!!

REPUBLICAN LEADER DAVE COX ISSUES STATEMENT
ON CHALLENGERS TO ASSEMBLYMAN SAMUELIAN

"The Assembly Republican Caucus stands firmly behind Assemblyman Steve
Samuelian, and will work hard to help him win re-election so he can continue
to serve the people of the 29th Assembly District and the State of
California. The last thing our party needs is a contested primary election
in a Republican district that will serve only to waste precious Republican
resources which should be used to re-elect President Bush, and elect more
Republicans to the State Legislature."
