The California Republican Assembly, a 75 year old conservative group in this state, endorsed Chuck DeVore for Senate today with over 75% support on the first ballot.
“CRA must keep working and producing solid conservative candidates for office at all levels of government, and I hope that my fellow Californians will join the CRA team and get involved with a local chapter.” Ronald Reagan said that of the CRA years ago, and today the group proved itself to live up to those words still. The doubters question DeVore, even after his convincing debate victory, saying he has no name recognition, he has no fundraising, and he can’t win. The CRA stood up today and pushed back. Conservative activists know who he is, stand ready to give, and can be the backbone of a DeVore victory.
We, the Republican grass roots of California, have an opportunity in this primary election to push back. We can push back against the NRSC who came in from DC to try to dictate our candidate to us. We can push back against Governor Schwarzenegger, who works tirelessly to reshape our party in his own image. We can also push back against Babs Boxer and the Democrat-Union-Press axis in this state by installing a candidate who will use any tactic he has to in order to challenge her, surprise her, and wear her down in the general election.
It’s easy to see why any conservative can back Chuck DeVore. He received a 100% rating from the CRA in the 2009 session of the California Assembly. He’s the one candidate in this race with a proven track record of fighting taxes, slashing at spending, and standing up to the expansion of government.
I hope conservatives will give to Chuck DeVore at his stylish new website, help spread the word about him, and see this through to June in the primary, and to November in the general election. Some say say Babs Boxer is unbeatable. They also said that of Marcia Martha Coakley. Let’s do this.

I Hope this Gives John Cornyn and the NRSC Agina
Michael Dugas (Diary) Sunday, March 7th at 11:30PM EST (link)John Cornyn and the NRSC should be ashamed of themselves for their treatment of Chuck DeVore. Cornyn has over and over lied about
his contact, or lack thereof, with the DeVore campaign. The same day that I asked Cornyn about the DeVore campaign and why he hasn’t returned their calls he told me the DeVore campaign NEVER tried to contact him. Not hours later DeVore comes out with evidence that they have contacted Cornyn and the NRSC by phone, fax and email multiple times only to be ignored and turned away.
I would like to say that the fact that the NRSC is jumping behind candidates like Fiorina and Crist shows they are just out of touch with the current environment in the Republican party but I don’t believe that any more. This is intentional and I believe that Cornyn, the NRSC and their cronies are trying to stop any sort of conservative ascension while trying to use that same momentum in their own favor.
I don’t believe any more that Cornyn looks at Obamacare negatively for the damage it will do to our country as much as he looks at it as a tool to achieve majority status. He just wants to make sure that if we achieve majority status it’s not the conservatives running the show. And don’t doubt for a minute that his cabal of establishment republicans won’t use a passed Obama care bill to control citizenry in similar fashion as the Left would.
I could be wrong, this is just my opinion, but Cornyn and the NRSC’s actions and the candidates they are supporting even in fairly safe Republican districts makes me wonder. Crist is getting hammered and Cornyn still works in the background to support him over a solid conservative republican.
I hope he chokes on a DeVore win.
