This came over the transom a little while ago:

The Protect Our Homes Coalition will rally and carry out an informational picket at a meeting of the League of California Cities in Orange County

The statewide coalition will protest the League of California Cities' $1.8 million donation to defeat Proposition 90

Tustin, CA – A coalition of concerned citizens will rally today in the City of Tustin at the League of California Cities Orange County Chapter meeting, to protest the League of Cities intensified efforts to defeat Proposition 90, the “Protect Our Homes Initiative” in order to continue the takings of homes, churches and businesses to hand them over to private developers and big business, using the abusive practice of eminent domain.

In just the last two weeks, the League of California Cities has donated $1,840,000 of what it asserts are “non-public funds” to the effort to defeat Proposition 90, the “Protect Our Homes” initiative that will overturn the Kelo decision in California, and provide powerful new protections for all California property owners.  Concerned California citizens demand answers from this powerful government agency

Including a:

• DEMAND THAT THE LEAGUE OF CITIES PROVE IT IS NOT USING TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO FUND THE “NO ON 90” CAMPAIGN!!!

• DEMAND THAT THE LEAGUE OF CITIES EXPLAIN WHY IT SUPPORTS TAKING OUR HOMES!!!

• DEMAND THAT THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES EXPLAIN WHY THEY WROTE; AN AMICUS BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF THE KELO DECISION BEFORE THE U.S. SUPREME COURT!!!

• DEMAND THAT THE LEAGUE OF CITIES EXPLAIN WHY IT OPPOSED EFFORTS IN THE LEGISLATURE THIS YEAR TO END EMINENT DOMAIN ABUSE!!!

The rally will take place on Thursday October 12, 2006, from 5 to 8 PM at the Tustin Community Center located at 300 Centennial Way, in the City of Tustin.

Cool. There is actually something political happening in my home town.

[Immigration Taskforce]

Jeff, there was an Illegal Immigration hearing in Tustin yesterday, Chuck DeVore, Audra Strickland, Van Tran, and Bob Huff were all there...you shouldda been there

[Tustin is a hot bed!]

What about Planning Commissioner Nathan Menard getting kicked off the commission for threating to shut down a KFC because they didn't let him use the potty?

Immigration Taskforce,

I am sure you sensed the sarcasm in my post. I would have been there, unfortunately, I have weekly class for my Exec. MBA program at Chapman, so sometimes I miss those things.

I will say I am proud of our Assemblyman (Chuck DeVore) for hosting a number of forums in our great town with Treasurer and Supervisor-Elect John Moorlach.

And, yes, Nathan Manard should have thought twice before dictating such a foolish threat to a restaurant, which I might add its parent company recently posted its highest earnings globally and is one of the most profitable chain restaurant firms in the world.

The last thing we need in Tustin or anywhere is more gov't interferring with the free market and capitalism, since that's what creates jobs and growth. Mr. Manard needs to revisit his economics book from high school.
