The 2026 SAVE America Act is critical to protect voting integrity. And critical to protecting the sovereignty of the United States of America. Democrats are against the SAVE America Act is to allow illegal aliens to vote: This is wrong. Everyone needs a driver’s license to drive. Everyone needs a passport to travel out of our Country. And everyone needs to prove they are an eligible American citizen to vote. Democrats Hidden Agenda: Support illegal aliens to vote, as this will result in one party rule in the USA. This is the reason Democrats do not support the SAVE American Act. Democrats already allow illegal aliens to vote in local elections. There are no ‘current’ secure safeguards to stop them from interfering in our elections. New Jersey just reported over 7,000 illegal aliens as voters. In 2023, California removed over 2,000,000 people from voting; under a court order. No one was criminally prosecuted. My point: Voter integrity is a national security issue.

So, the deficit must be “zeroed” or the next generation of Americans will suffer. Both parties have run up the deficit. Ideally, a “balanced budget amendment” would make sense. There would be exceptions in case of national emergency. However, currently there is so much polarization between political parties that a ‘balanced budget’ would never pass Congress. Voters should know that I will not support ‘crazy’ spending. I will do my part to stop ‘crazy’ Democrat spending which is the major cause of the deficit over the past few decades. My opponent in this race just raised taxes in Los Angeles County to the some of the highest in the Country. And sadly, the money has disappeared without any positive metrics whatsoever. My opponent has no competence to balance any budget, not when she was in Congress in 2009 thru 2012, not when she was Labor Secretary in 2013, and not when she resigned in disgrace subsequent to an FBI criminal investigation.

Israel existed 2,000 years before Christ. And Christ existed over 600 years before Mohammed. Although Israel was recognized as a country in 1948, Israel’s Jewish culture and religion existed about 3,500 years ago. The atrocities of WWII where over 6,000,000 Jews were killed in concentration camps validated the need for a formal modern Israel. Moreover, the idea of Palestine has never been a country. And Palestine had nothing to do with Islam as a religion. The Muslim claim of a “Palestine” in Israel did not evolve until about 1962…. The idea that Israel belongs to Muslims is nonsense. Israel is also our ally in the middle east. And “allegiances” matter: I support Israel 100%. The 2005 peace plan exchanged Gaza for peace. Hamas then took over Gaza and immediately began asymmetrical warfare against Israel. The terrorist invasion of Israel on October 7th, 2023, brought open conflict. Muslim extremists absolutely hate have Israel. Peace begins with Israel’s right to exist.

There has never been a country in the entirety of world history that has survived without protecting its sovereignty. The idea of ‘open borders’ is craziness. Democrats of 20 years ago all supported protecting our borders. Democrats of 2026 support open borders because they want illegal aliens to vote. They have not thought through the negative second order effects. There are over 5 billion people on the planet who earn less than $2 per day. The USA cannot support billions entering for free benefits provided by Democrats through higher taxes on U.S. citizens. This is madness and the USA will fall. Illegal aliens exist because Democrat policies south of the border are a complete failure. We must help our government neighbors south of the borders by 1) providing an alternative to failed democrat socialist policies, 2) stop corruption, and 3) eliminate drug cartels. Protecting our borders is central to the National Security of the USA.

I’m Catholic. I have many family/friends who attend Calvary Chapel, Baptist, 7th Day Adventist, and other denominations of Christianity. The Bible is crystal clear on this: Marriage is between a man and a woman. The wonderful thing about the USA being the greatest country on earth is that the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees life, liberty, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of peaceful assembly. For those who are not Christian, there was no need for a California Constitutional Amendment for things already guaranteed by our U.S. Constitution. This change is more California Democrat craziness of attacking Christianity.

Life begins at conception. Abortion should be limited to medical situations where the mother’s life is at risk. The decision to return abortion to the states is correct. There is not and never has been a federal guarantee of abortion. Roe vs Wadde (1973) was a terrible decision. Dobbs vs Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022) got it right, from a constitutional perspective. The positive second order effect is that there should not be federal money (e.g. our tax money) going to abortion clinics.

It is unbelievable that is an issue. This is California Democrat craziness at its finest. Parents have a right to know everything about their children. Period. Not providing parents 100% accurate information is wrong. The California required sex education is nothing more than ‘Democrat Cult’ craziness brain washing. Example: If you are born with a penis, you are male, and always will be. Meeting criteria for gender dysphoria does not make you the opposite sex. Surgical mutilation does not make you the opposite sex, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers do not make you the opposite sex. Christ made you perfect just the way you are. If you are born with a penis, you are male because of your XY chromosomes. This is the ‘perfect you.’ The idea that you are whatever you identify with is Democrat craziness. As this relates to sports, my view is: No men in women/girls’ sports. No men in girls’ bathrooms.

The is more California Democrat craziness. This is more California Democrat overreach. California should be more concerned with the quality of education. Example: I grew up in Baldwin Park. Currently, they graduate 91% of their students. However, the state metrics show that only 35% can pass high school math. This is the basic math, not honors math, and not advanced placement math. So, the graduation rate should be 35%, not 91%. The same is true for English. The quality of education is so poor that no students attend the best colleges in the country. Democrats, who had literally control education at the state, county, and city level for decades failed you. If you wanted to become a doctor or lawyer or pilot, you had no chance. Instead, your income potential is ‘minimum wage.’ Baldwin Park has never had a JROTC program, so students had no opportunity to serve in the most honorable career in the USA, the U.S. military.
