John Cox for governor of California

Although California’s economy has pockets of strength, the
state is also home to the nation’s highest poverty rate, when the cost of
living is taken into account. The growing inequality and the affordability
issues that are driving so many middle-income families out of the state are
serious concerns and should be the centerpiece of the debate in the governor’s
race.

Yes. Make California Affordable Again!

We believe the state would be best served by the election of
John Cox as the next governor of California.

Yes, it would. Someone who is not part of the California State Political Swamp!

Cox, a successful businessman who lives in the San Diego
area, offers a balanced, non-ideological approach, favoring lower taxes and
reform of overreaching government regulations, along with support for the
state’s clean-energy goals and environmental protection.

Yes, without breaking the bank or pushing us onto the street.

Two of the state’s most pressing problems — the crisis in
housing affordability and the state’s neglected infrastructure — are caused,
Cox argues, by flawed government decisions and policies. The cost of building a
house or fixing a mile of road is far higher in California than in other states
because of accumulated rules, fees and taxes that have themselves become a
greater problem than whatever problem they were originally intended to address.

It is time for a change.

Yes, we need a change, a change away from the Democratic Party! The Demon-Rat party has ruined California for countless millions, men and women who just want to live their lives and place a posterity for their children and grand-children.

Gavin Newsom is a thoughtful leader who cares about the
future of California, but as a longtime officeholder he has deep connections to
many of the interest groups and politicians that have been part of the problem.
That’s evident from Newsom’s careful two-step on both sides of major issues.

Yes. Gruesome Newsom is a hideous liar and philanderer. He never met another man's wife without making perverse moves on him. It is beyond shameful what he has done in private as well as in public. He has neither respect nor regard for the rule of law or the rights of citizens to make wise decisions for the citizenry. San Francisco has turned into a complete sh*thole, with homeless transients fighting each other, graffiti and trash all over the streets, and lawless thugs attack innocent passers-by. The business climate is beyond abysmal, and the housing costs are unreal.

No decent working person can afford to live in San Francisco, or anywhere in the Bay Are vicinity. It's unreal!

And now Gavin Newsom wants to ruin the entire state of California, too?

For example, during a debate in May, Newsom stated his
position on high-speed rail as: “I’ve long supported the vision, but I’ve been
honest about the financing.” He expressed a similar ambiguity on single-payer
health care, Senate Bill 562, telling supporters “it’s time to move” the
legislation while acknowledging to reporters that the details of how to pay for
the proposal remain unresolved.

Gavin Newsom has no integrity, no ideas, no interest in doing what is best for the state of California. He only cares about his vapid political ambitions. Nothing more. He is a selfish progressive troll more interested in scoring points and other men's wives.

Please, California, we can do better than Cox!

That yes-and-no approach may encourage interest groups to
write checks to the Newsom campaign in the hope that the wind will shift in
their direction. But it leaves voters with no idea what the policies of his
administration would be, or how much they will cost.

Actually, we can know what the cost will be. Gavin Newsom promised to sign an executive order which would give taxpayer-funded healthcare to illegal aliens. He said that. He doesn't just want single-payer, he wants to hand out all the goodies to illegal aliens, full-on lawbreakers who are destroying our state and want to destroy the country.

This man is a thoughtless, lawless thug who has no business serving in any public capacity.

A government dominated by one party lacks the necessary
checks and balances to ensure that policies are fully vetted before they become
law. In California, that has too often led to reckless increases in spending,
especially on pensions for government workers, creating endless pressure for
tax increases at both the state and local level.

We need Republicans, real Republicans in Sacramento. No RINOs, no hacks, no "hell-no" politicos out for themselves and looking at some easy sinecure on a County Board of Supervisors when they leave Sacramento.

We need representatives who will care for the needs, the concerns of American citizens.

For perspective, in the time since Newsom was elected
lieutenant governor, from 2011-12 to the current fiscal year, state general
fund spending has ballooned over 61 percent from $86 billion to nearly $139
billion.

We spend too much money. Thank you, Demo-rats. We need more than balance, however. We need restoration of the rule of law, of natural rights, of individual liberty along with checks and balances in the better interests of the citizens, not illegal aliens, not special interests, not corrupt union bosses.

California needs steady economic growth and high-wage jobs
to bring in the revenue required to pay its bills and build its future. That
can’t be achieved with unsustainable government spending and even higher taxes.
It certainly can’t be achieved if businesses are driven into the ground or out
of the state by over-regulation, increased costs and uncertainty about future
policies.

I wish that the local and statewide press would spend more time focusing on the unprecedented assault on our rights. I wish that elected officials would remember their oath of office to the United States Constitution and the California State Constitution. When will our elected officials remember that they work for us, not the other way around?

We can make them remember. We can start holding these elected frauds accountable and make them respond to our concerns once again. No more of this barren, brazen, broken-down disregard for the rule of law. Enough is enough.

Recent polls indicate that the race for governor has
tightened and both sides say turnout will be key. Infrequent voters may come
out to cast ballots for Proposition 6 to repeal the gas tax increase, and that
would help Cox, who chaired the effort to qualify the measure and signed the
ballot argument in support of it.

Let's face it. Part of the reason why we see the press groups favoring Republicans is that they see these candidates with more than a bare chance of winning.

Newsom might be helped by a surge of progressive Democrats
who are hungry to seize control of the state party from established Democratic
leaders like Sen. Dianne Feinstein. 

Dianne Feinstein is a disgrace like Kevin De Leon. They are both unrepentant left-wing frauds who spend money that they do not have, and they are actively undermining our lives and livelihoods as Americans. California is still very much America, folks, and we the people are actively proving these facts. The Democratic Party thought they could get away with running our state into the ground. They have brazenly defied federal law. They want us to pay for the entire world to overrun our borders. They put illegal aliens, welfare recipients, and felons ahead of law-abiding citizens and their families. All of this is wrong, and we cannot tolerate this abuse of power any longer.

All of this must cease, and everyone Californian needs to wake up and take a firm stand against all of this abuse and failure. We need to vote for John Cox, we need to Make California Great Again, and we need to ensure that the rule of law is restored, and our natural rights respected once again.

One growing group won’t be casting ballots. They’re the
former California residents who will vote this year in Arizona, Nevada, Texas
and other states where the cost of living in California no longer troubles
them.

I refuse to leave. I will fight to the end, and we need John Cox in the Governor's mansion to help with our fight.

John Cox offers common-sense leadership that will encourage
economic growth, expand housing opportunities and reverse the state’s
affordability crisis. He has our endorsement for governor.
