More Indignant Letter Writing

From this obscure story (hipped by Ray Haynes' Monday Morning Memorandum) we find ALL 19 California Republican members of the House have dusted off the old word processor and written a nastygram to Attorney General Gonzales (the one who wasn't nominated for SCOTUS today, thankfully).  "We're not going to go away. We're going to insist that this happen sooner rather than later" they say.  They insist.  They're not going away (unless 77 makes them).  They're collectively stomping their 38 little feet.

We dumped on Reps. Miller and Rohrabacher about ten days ago in here for writing letters and doing little else about the illegal swarm.  We'll believe the Republicans are serious about this when do they a little more than just sign letters.  For instance, when we see all 19 of them get behind Haynes' California Border Police Initiative that's hurting for signatures (and CASH, Darrell) right now (he's about one third of the way with less than 60 days to go).

Let's talk about this border police initiative. We now know that no big hitters are stepping up to the plate to support this prop. It's becoming clear that it was just window dressing to help Campbell "innoculate" himself against his weak voting record on illegal immigration. Look at the consultant who is behind it, Dave Gilliard. Who is Haynes' consultant...Dave Gilliard. Who is Campbell's hired gun...Dave Gilliard. I'm starting to get the picture. Without paid signature gatherers, this prop is DOA and everyone knows it. John & Ken can only do so much, along with the hardcore volunteers. It's to bad because the prop is a great idea. If they get the required signatures I will be pleasantly surprised. They should have had the money in the bank before they launched the prop. I blame Ray Haynes for that. He should have known better. He gets credit for being on the radio pimping this initiative and trying to pull out all the stops, but it is a day late and many dollars short.
