Thanks for the 'when not to vote' wisdom (post #30) on your own page - I've forwarded it to my address book.

So please vote YES on William R. McGuiness.

Yikes, McGuiness is up in the San Fran Sick-o area...doesn't stand a chance against the gay mafia.

PETER J. SIGGINS
1992 $250 to FEINSTEIN FOR SENATE COMMITTEE
1994 $500 to FEINSTEIN FOR SENATE '94
1994 $500 to CALIFORNIA VICTORY '94
1996 $500 to MICHELA ALIOTO FOR CONGRESS

Can anyone confirm Y/N "Is this the same Peter Siggins listed as an ASSOCIATE JUSTICE, COURT OF APPEALS, 1ST APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION 3 SEAT 1"?

If so, what sort of personal idealogical revolution has he undergone that earns him the recommendation of the CRLA?

California Republican Lawyers Association Announces Judicial Endorsements

by Mike Houston - Political Law 10-26-2006 4:37 pm

The influential California Republican Lawyers Association has announced its endorsements for the retention votes for appellate judges. Judicial elections in California are often well below the radar screen and many voters have no idea who they are voting for. In fact, many people tell me that they often do not vote in judicial elections because they know so little about the judges on the ballot.

The CRLA endorsement list (below) is helpful because not only does it provide the CRLA's weight to identifying judges worthy of Republican support but it provides the Governor who appointed the particular judge.

Here is the text of the CRLA press release and the endorsements:

CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN LAWYERS MAKE JUDICIAL RECOMMENDATIONS.

Dear Fellow Republican:

Every year Republican voters complain about the lack of information regarding Judges appearing on their ballots. In an attempt to provide Republican voters with the information they need, the California Republican Lawyers Association have prepared a list of Justices that we recommend.

It is important to point out that in preparing this list we have researched judicial opinions, considered party registration, considered what Governor appointed each Justice, the length of service and spoke to lawyers who have practiced before them. We considered all of these factors in preparing our recommendations. No one factor was dispositive. Furthermore, certain Justices do not appear on our list because their time on the Supreme Court or Court of Appeals has been too brief.

The following list is the result of this research. To learn more about the California Republican Lawyers Association you can visit our website at www.californiarepublicanlawyers.org.

From Government for the People (Michael A. Jackson)
If you think Judges are a non-partisan office, you would be technically correct.  But in reality, as attested to by rulings of the 9th Circuit Court, we have judges trying to write the law from the bench.  Many of these judges worked their way up through California Courts.  We are working to get Judges elected that will rule fairly based on the constitution and existing law.  These races are L.A. County wide.
 
Judicial Recommendations:
 
Office No.    8:  Bob Henry
Office No.  18:  Daviann L. Mitchell*
Office No. 102:  Hayden Zacky
Office No. 104: Leave Blank
Office No. 144:  David W. Stuart
* Daviann is our favorite candidate
 
You have the ability to remove Supreme Court and Court of Appeal Justices with a no vote.  Neutral means we are not going to vote on these positions.
 
Supreme Court Justice
Neutral     Joyce L. Kennard
Neutral     Carol A. Corrigan
Court of Appeal Justice, Second Appellate District
Division One
No       Robert M Mallano
No       Frances Rothschild
Division Two
Yes     Roger Boren
Yes     Victoria M. Chavez
Division Three
Yes     Patti S. Kitching
Yes     Richard D. Aldrich
Division Four
Neutral     Norman L. Epstein
Yes     Thomas L. Willhite
Neutral     Nora M. Manella
Yes     Steven Suzukawa
Division Five
No      Richard M. Mosk
Yes      Sandy R. Kriegler
Division Six
No      Arthur Gilbert
Division Seven
No      Dennis M. Perluss
Yes     Fred Woods
No      Laurie D. Zelon
Division Eight
No       Candace D. Cooper (Changed based on additional information)

Has Corrigan proven to be liberal since her appointment?
I know she was painted as a "moderate" when Arnold appointed her.
