(Burlingame, CA) -- The semi-annual California Republican Party Convention was rocked Saturday morning by several hundred enthusiastic supporters of U.S. Senate candidate Howard Kaloogian who met for a rally against SB1160, the bill that would allow illegal aliens to get a California driver licenses.

Excellent! I was getting ready to compile my thoughts of the rally.

[CounterCounterCulture]

A lot of people probably just came for the rally and not part of the convention. Melanie Morgan, the mother of all recalls ;-) is a fantastic draw. Brian Sussman rocks too. Tancredo was awesome. The Vietnamese-American LEGAL immigrant minister was inspirational. Mike Spence was cool.

And last but not lease, GO KALOOGIAN GO! He'd make a fantastic Senator! :-)

Great event all the way around. "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"

I'll post my pics hopefully Monday.

BTW, I was the one with the large sign with the ILLEGAL license plate.

[CounterCounterCulture]

No terrorists driver's license was the best, most effective sign.

(BTW, I'm glad I didn't see a Mexifornia license...Telemuuuuuundo would have had a field day with that!)

[chicagolady]

wow!

[Carry_Okie]

But while Marin and Jones could generate rallies of 50-75 people, Kaloogian had a massive crowd of cheering and raucous supporters who would then linger throughout the convention for the rest of the day - wearing Kaloogian t-shirts, carrying Kaloogian signs and bumper stickers.

I got a recorded phone solicitation from Toni Casey claiming she was the only Republican candidate who is against the President's immigration proposal.

What kind of Republican pulls a dishonest stunt like that?

[RonDog]

This this is the PRIMARY, I already voted for Howard (via touchscreen.)

Not sure how he will do against Boxer, but ya gotta love the guy, in a Tom McClintock/Don Quixote kind of way. :o)

Ping.

reporters and cameras covering the mass of people out front who were shouting "Enough is Enough," "No License for Illegals," and "Stop Them at the Border."

ARE YOU LISTENING BUSH?

"RALLY REPORT - Kaloogian and Tancredo ROCK Republican Convention in California!"

Tancredo won't be silenced ping!

BUMP

[Regulator]

I had a wonderful time there. Tancredo is an even better public speaker than I thought, Glynn Custred was incredible, and Melanie's better looking than her website makes her out to be.

Go Howard Go.

Note to the Bots: all that Bill Jones and GWBush need to do is...get on the right side of this "issue". Or else...they're going to go down over it. Now that Mr. Gobernator has gone sideways on licenses, doing an about face from his campaign, we can easily point to the consequences of appeasing the RINO front in the Republican Party. No one trusts him now.

So that's all there is to it. Enforce the existing laws, or get diselected. We're doing it to guys like Gray Davis, and Mssrs. Newsom and Lockyer just held up their paws to be next in the Recall Parade. Arnold too if he doesn't get a grip soon.

We want our children to live the American Dream, not the Mexican Nightmare.

By posting an anti-immigration thread such as this, I have no choice but to conclude that you are a troll. You have succumbed to the 'Moby' mind control that is sweeping the conservative population. I shall alert the Mods at once. < /sarcasm>

[freekitty]

Rock on. I love it. If our elected officials won't do the job, then we will elect officials that will.

[goldstategop]

Howard Kaloogian represents the grass-roots sentiment the official party hierarchy dismisses at its peril. He's a first class stand up guy who should be our Senate candidate to take on the uber-liberal Babs Boxer in November. We need a principled conservative in the U.S Senate. The rest of the field are RINOs. Let me be blunt, Bill Jones and the rest are nice folks but Boxer will eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner cause on the issues of concern to Californians, their positions aren't too different from hers. And if we nominate another Matt Fong-like RINO, we will have Boxer around forever.

[sfRummygirl]

hell-freakin'-YES!

[runningbear]

you rock...Great for the events. Love your accounts of the event. ;o)

[calcowgirl]

I just got the following email... Go Howard!

California Race Could Retire Notorious Gun Grabber
-- State Assemblyman would become California's first pro-gun U.S. Senator in years

Dear friend of the Second Amendment,

Are you tired of seeing a handful of U.S. Senators dictate gun control policy for the entire United States?

One senator slips a new gun ban into an omnibus spending bill in the middle of the night. Another senator filibusters the President’s judicial nominations. All told, a minority of U.S. Senators are able to prevent good policies from advancing.

Well, that could start to change this year. One of the most important senate races will occur in the state of California, where the all-important primary will be held in early March.

Former state Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian is running for the Republican Party nomination. If selected, he will take on the ultra anti-gun Senator Barbara Boxer, who currently holds the seat.

You might not recognize the name. But I have no doubt that you have heard of his work.

KALOOGIAN HAS A RECORD OF DEFEATING ANTI-GUN POLITICIANS

You see, Howard Kaloogian is the one who spearheaded the successful recall effort in California which resulted in the voters’ expulsion of the gun-grabbing Governor Gray Davis.

He also organized the nationwide protest against the shameless CBS smear of former President Ronald Reagan. Again, Kaloogian’s efforts were successful, as the network ultimately bowed to the pressure.

Clearly, Assemblyman Kaloogian is not new to politics. And now that he’s helped retire the chief gun grabber in the state of California -- former Gov. Gray Davis -- he is determined to defeat one of the leading gun control activists in the U.S. Senate: Senator Barbara Boxer.

BOXER’S GUN CONTROL RECORD

I’m sure you are all too familiar with Boxer’s gun control record. Consider just some of the gun control votes Sen. Boxer has cast over the past several years.

* SUPPORTED the Brady Law’s five day waiting period (1993);

* SUPPORTED the Clinton-Feinstein ban on many semi-automatic firearms and magazines (1994);

* SUPPPORTED an effort (which failed) to force America’s gun owners to lock up their firearms, thus rendering them useless for self-defense (1998);

* OPPOSED an amendment preventing the FBI from taxing and registering gun owners (1998);

* SUPPORTED the banning of private sales of firearms at gun shows (1999); and

* SUPPORTED a resolution praising the Gun Control Mommies after they marched on Washington, DC (2000).

As you might imagine, the above is only the tip of the iceberg. Senator Boxer rightly deserves her F- rating from Gun Owners of America.

But Kaloogian would be a complete, 180 degree change.

Assemblyman Kaloogian has demonstrated his commitment to the Second Amendment while a legislator in the state capitol, Sacramento.

KALOOGIAN IS THE BEST PRO-GUN CANDIDATE

As a state assemblyman, Kaloogian earned a solid “A” rating from Gun Owners of California. He has fought for the gun rights of Californians for years, and I have no doubt he will continue to fight for your rights after he is elected to the U.S. Senate.

Even if you don’t live in California, his election to the U.S. Senate will mean more freedom for all those who cherish the Second Amendment.

Kaloogian is, by far, the best pro-gun candidate in this primary. Millions of dollars will be spent to elect the next senator from California. Kaloogian needs your help to get his name in front of every pro-gun voter in the state.

I hope you will contribute generously to the Kaloogian campaign.

Your contribute of $25, $50, $100, or even $2,000 (the legal maximum) will go directly toward helping to elect this pro-gun champion.

The election is barely a month away, so please, donate online or write a check today.
