FCINO ALERT!!!!

     California Republicans have a golden opportunity this Congressional election cycle.  They have the opportunity to unsesat Senator Barbara Boxer--one of the most Liberal members of the Senate.  If they unseat Barbara Boxer, California Republicans will usher in one of the biggest political comebacks in history.  They will have finally demanded their seat at the California political table back and show that a Republican can win anywhere in America.
     There are three challengers in the Republican primary for Senate in California.  Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina, Congressman Tom Campbell, and California Assemblyman Chuck DeVore.  Fiorina and DeVore are both Conservatives and have signed a pledge not to raise taxes with the group Americans for Tax Reform.  Tom Campbell, however, has not signed this pledge.  He has also accepted money from some pretty controversial people.  One of these people is Sami Al-Arian, a professor at the University of Florida.  Al-Arian has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to contribute services to or for the benefit of the Palestine Islamic Jihad, a Specially Designated Terrorist organization.  Campbell accepted $1,300 from Al-Arian.  Al-Arian tried to donate to the campaigns of George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton, but both refused the money and gave it back.  Campbell kept the money and even defended Al-Arian from criticism in the media.  In addition to accepting this dirty money, Campbell racked up a record of voting for tax increases as well as bloated budgets while a Representative in the U.S. House of Representatives from California's 12th and 15th districts.    
     California Republicans need to take the opportunity to unseat Sen. Boxer if they are going to ever be relevant in California politics again.  If they don't take this opportunity, California will send Boxer back to the Senate to cast more votes that will hurt America.  We need to remember that a lot is at stake in this election cycle.  If we as Americans don't take the chance to throw these bums we call congressmen/women out the Obama/Pelosi/Reid agenda will just continue to destruct America.
