As many of you have asked, it is here, the voter guide. Remember, this is NOT an endorsement from LAC, ITW or me, so vote character, values and keep in mind faith and reason…. 

Regarding the upcoming general election, I know you’re aware of its importance–some leaders are saying it’s one of the most crucial in our history!  Throughout the nation there are policies at stake that will involve federal funding for abortions, amnesty for illegal aliens, open homosexuality in the military, further assaults on religious liberty, and universal health care legislation amounting to denial of medical services for older Americans. All of these issues and more will hang in the balance on Tuesday.

I’ve taken the liberty to once again gather recommendations from conservative sources to pass along to you. I received the majority of the following information from my contact at The Capitol Resource Institute, which is a conservative organization dedicated to the preservation of family values. I also researched a couple websites, which are listed below (Craig Huey’s site has info on the judges which is difficult to obtain).

If you disagree with any of these suggestions or would like to comment, it is OK, please respond to me personally. Thanks so much!  Feel free to copy this guide and pass it along to your own email contacts.

Note:  some of the candidates I’ve listed will not appear on your ballot, depending upon the district in which you reside. If you would like recommendations for the CA judges outside of the Los Angeles County, log ontowww.judgevoterguide.com. Craig Huey’s website, specifically catering to Christian values voters, is www.electionforum.org. Capitol Resource Institute’s positions on the initiatives is listed on the front of their website:  www.capitolresource.org

CONSERVATIVE VOTER GUIDE:

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR- Abel Maldonado is another one who is in essence a liberal. He supported Harvey Milk Day, refused to advocate Prop 8, and is in favor of higher taxes. A lot of grass roots groups are not backing him. The recommendation is to leave your ballot blank or write in Karen England (a Christian conservative). Christian radio talk show host Frank Pastore (KKLA 99.5 FM) recommends writing in Karen England.
