Hackers From Anonymous Post Bank of America Documents -- Daily Intel

Wikileaks leaked the documents that showed how Bank of America tried to remove the tracking information on loan documents. By doing this, banks cannot properly foreclose on the owners.

Now if only we had laws that would protect the homeowner... Oh but we do, but the Banks aren't going to tell us that.

Huge Crowds At Wisconsin Pro-Union Rally Saturday BLACKED OUT BY MOST MEDIA

The only station that covered the Wisconsin Protests was FOX "News"....
I tried watching them but when they showed video of the "Santa Cruz Harbor" and labeled it "Crescent City," I had to turn it off.
If it wasn't for bloggers, these pictures wouldn't be available...

Republican's Toxic Tea will Hurt Education, Lautenberg Says

GOP gave the money away and then act like a drunken 13-year-old with a credit card. Maxed out and expecting Mama to pay it off...with her food money...

Why do we think they are going to be responsible? They weren't back in the 1980s and again in 2000.

The Democrats always have to pay-off a GOP drunk spree...

John Allard accused of "Double-Dipping" his expenses

The Auburn Journal had an article about Assembly candidate John Allard "Double-dipping" expenses for a trip to D.C.
REVOLT --Responsible voters for lower taxes is out of San Diego
     What surprised me in this article is that Ted Gaines said he would not take "future" per diems.  He told me he wasn't taking per diems and didn't take the raises.  Both statements now appear to no longer be true.

D.C. trip expenses put Assembly candidate Allard on hot seat with tax watchdog

By Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer 

     Hotel room costs and claims for meals have a 4th District Assembly candidate at odds with a taxpayers group just as voters are receiving their sample ballots.
      At an average cost of $465 a night, the little-known taxpayers group REVOLT is challenging Assembly candidate John Allard on hotel expenditures paid for by Roseville that the city councilman charged to constituents during a 2007 trip to Washington, D.C.
     The San Diego-based Responsible Voters for Lower Taxes is also criticizing Allard for what it says appears to be a “double dip” on expenses. That allegation revolves around paperwork from a 2009 trip to Washington showing Allard requested the city’s $64 “per diem” allowance while later reporting on another form that he received free meals during the same time period from several corporate donors.
 

Who are these people with the raises?

I tried to do a search and see who these people are that got raises.... I only got the first four...

Annette Porini -- Chief of Staff for State Senator Joe Simitian of the 11^th District (Palo Alto and Santa Cruz) a Democrat

Kevin Bassett  -- Was Chief of Staff for State Senator Dave Cox (He's dead and Gaines is in his seat.  Gaines has not listed his staff's names.)  That was a Republican office.

Christopher Wysocki -- Was Chief of Staff for California Assembly Leader Bill Leonard but now a spokesman for the Small Business Survival Committee and worked with a Republican committee on the "Recall Gray Davis" campaign.

Ivan Altamura -- Chief of Staff for State Assembly Republican Caucus (GOP Consultants)

Dillon Gibbons – Chief of Staff for Assemblywoman Connie Conway (Republican) San Diego. (GOP Leader)

After Doolittle

Gaines won the State Senate seat while he was running for his old Assembly seat.  Since he took the Senate seat, now the state is on the hook to run a special election (remember the new law...the two top winners run again.) so I guess that will be another $900,000 for that part...

The "Sacramento News and Review" has a great article about how Republican politics in the Gold Country has run into some trouble...

The link to the article is here .

With former GOP Rep. John Doolittle (left) out of the picture, foothill Republicans are fighting each other. The Assembly contest between Beth Gaines (center) and John Allard (right) and five other Republicans is just one example.
