Dem. Leader Nunez Squelches Voter Choice in Assembly
Election
Duplicitous Democratic Sacramento Leadership Practices Chicago-style
kingmaker politics.
The piece pictured on the right appeared on August
18th in the Easy Reader. It paints a very dark picture of what
California politics has degraded to. That now one powerful person in
Sacramento can completely thwart the ability of candidates to run for
office.
All too often we listen with distain to stories of
countries where only one candidate's name is permitted on a ballot and the
government claims it is democratic. We say that is not democracy
that is dictatorship.
But what has become of democracy right here in the 53rd
Assembly District? It seems we too are living under a
dictatorship. It seems that at least one Democrat candidate was
strong-armed into not running in order to ensure only one Democrat
appeared on the ballot.
Well in a district that is mostly Democrats, that
equates to a dictator choosing the candidate. The dictator in this
case is Democrat Assembly Leader Fabian Nunez. And he has hand
picked the one candidate allowed on the ballot.
Luckily we have 3 great Republican candidates who the
voters can choose. |
