Sacramento is Broken
Is there anyone left who believes Sacramento is working?
Is there anyone left who believes Sacramento is working for you?
Sacramento is broken!
Sacramento is broken and it can not be fixed!
Stop talking about Reform and start talking about Revolution!
Revolution?
Yes, its time for a Prop 13 type Revolution.
You can not fix a broken tool with a broken tool!
You must get a new Tool, and that Tool is the Part Time Legislature.
Yes, a Part Time Legislature which strips those Sacramento Politicians of the power to push their self serving, special agenda promoting, Tax and Spend Schemes.
A part time Legislature that cuts their pay in half and cuts their power in half!
My name is David Hernandez and I am one of the First Candidates for State Assembly to Campaign for the Part Time Legislature.
Join the 2010 Revolution and join me on the front lines as we battle to take back our State.
How can you help?
Time is short so you need to act now, right now.
First: Go to www.reformcal.com to take action and get their petition.
Second: I will need your vote, your time and your money.
Please answer the call and make your contribution to my campaign today.
Battle for Voters Rights begins in the 42nd State Assembly District
Who would have thought that my decision to run for the 42nd State Assembly District would give us such a Vital and Critical Opportunity?
Of all the State Assembly Districts throughout California, we could not have foreseen that ours would be the battleground for the future of California.
As part of my platform I took the position and challenge to Preserve and Protect Prop 13. Little did I know that my opponent would lead the effort to eliminate it and would lead the Sacramento Based effort to remove the ability of voters to exercise their Constitutional Rights outlined In the First Amendment.
The right to petition the government for redress of grievances
It was by exercising this right that Prop 13 was placed on the Ballot giving voters the opportunity to make it into the Law of the Land. It was the Initiative Process that enabled Howard Jarvis and the men and women of California to collect signatures and get it on the Ballot.
With carefully crafted “safe districts” which insure connected politicians and their crews remain in power and millions of Special Interest funding, Assembly and Senate politicians have turned a deaf ear to the voters.
Our Founding Fathers were very clear and conscious of Governments ability to hold itself beyond the reach of the people.
Sacramento Politicians have taken the steps to protect themselves from the people of California. It is up to us to stop them. It has been given to us in the 42nd District, to answer the call. I believe we are up to the challenge and I believe this opportunity will be, like Prop 13 so vital an issue that our call to arms will be answered by voters throughout California.
Senate President pro Tem Darrel Steinberg and Assembly Speaker Karen Bass have formed the “Select Committees on Improving State Government”.
They will be addressing the issue of Ballot Box budgeting and the Initiative Process and will present Legislation to the Legislature for approval early next year.
According to Speaker Bass, “State government needs to be more transparent, efficient and effective. “ “Today’s hearing is the first step in the process toward reforming our system of government and making it work better for the people of California”.
More transparent and efficient? More Effective? For whom? For them not us.
The Initiative process is what is allowing voters to place the “Part Time Legislature” measure on the ballot in 2010. Now you see why they want to take this away from you?
They will also remove the 2/3rds vote requirement for passing the Budget. How will they do this? If they do not need a 2/3rds vote, they will balance the budget by raising your taxes. Getting rid of Prop 13 is the number one target by these political insiders.
Time is short; we must begin to alert California Voters and move them to action. We must hold my opponent, the Chairman of the Select Committee Mike Feuer accountable. We must mount a campaign with the objective to remove him from not only from the committee but from office!
How can you help? What can you do?
Educate yourself and start talking to your friends and co workers. Help us raise the funding needed to organize and mobilize the troops. We need to be at every meeting the Select Committee holds and challenge them on their efforts to keep us out of the process.
Make your contribution today, do not wait, time is Critical.

Join me as we take to battle to them!

David Hernandez for State Assembly Virtual Fundraiser Begins
On October 19, 2009 at 9:00AM we begin our first fundraising push via the internet. The fundraising effort will continue through Friday October 23rd at 5:00PM.
For those of you, who have not contributed to a political campaign before; allow me to give you some basic information. First of all, contributions although vital are not Tax Deductible. Second, all contributions over the amount of one hundred dollars must be itemized on the candidates campaign finance statement. The information is public record and will need to show the contributors name, address, employer and occupation.
If the contribution is $99.00 or less, the contribution is not itemized and the contributor’s information is not made public.
There is a limit on the amount you can contribute. For State Assembly it is three thousand six hundred dollars per person, per election. You can contribute the maximum in the Primary and again in the General election. Remember no amount is too small. Every dollar will be much appreciated and treated with the respect it deserves.
That is the basic information on the rules of the game. Many have heard that “Money is the Mothers Milk of Politics”. This statement has proven to have merit. No matter how good your platform or message, without financial resources, the message can not get out to the voters.
There are two ways to contribute to the campaign. First you can contribute online now by clicking here. Second, you can contribute via mail by sending your check made payable to David Hernandez for Assembly 2010, to PO Box 9158, North Hollywood, CA 91609 ID # 1318371
We have already laid out our strategy for an aggressive campaign. For the next six months we will be targeting our fundraising towards the Voter Registration Campaign. This will involve paying a “Bounty” to Republican Groups and Organizations who register Republican Voters in the 42nd District.
So, let us begin and see how we fair in this troubled economy. I will post the results of the effort on Monday October 26, 2009.
Thank you,
David Hernandez
Candidate for the 42nd Assembly District
Last Man Standing; why it is wise & vital to invest in our campaign
Running for State Assembly in a district where the voter registration is 146,000 Democrats to 48,000 Republicans is by any measure a challenge of epic scale. We are not going into this race with any illusions. Our objectives are clear and our campaign will be aggressive.
Far too often these races are ignored by established party types as they see no reason to engage or spend resources in these districts.
As a result, the entrenched incumbent raises vast amounts of campaign contributions which are then donated to the DNC and to candidates in other districts or states in targeted races. In the end the result is the same, we lose and lose ground.
It is no wonder the Republican registration has dropped to third place behind Decline to States in the 42nd District. The lack of effort on the local level has a detrimental and direct impact on the National level.
My objective and purpose in committing my time and resources in this campaign is to First, build a solid foundation in the 42nd State Assembly District.
We have the ability to measure the success of our efforts and it is very simple, the voter registration numbers. Can we move the Republican Party registration in the 42nd District into the number 2 slot by November of 2010?
I believe that by raising funds to supplement the voter registration efforts of Republican groups like the Federated Women, The Westside Republican Club, The San Fernando Valley Republican Club, Southern California Republican Women and Men and The Hollywood Congress of Republicans, we will not only achieve our objectives but surpass them.
The College Republican groups will also play a vital role in this effort and have the energy and numbers to undertake this aggressive effort.
I will be focusing my immediate efforts on fund raising in order to implement this voter registration effort and pay bounty to these groups for new Republican voter registrations. I will be reaching out to other campaigns to join us in these efforts.
Second and most profound is the “Last Man Standing” objective and strategic offensive campaign.
The population of Los Angeles is now over four million residents. Did you know there is only one Republican State Assembly member who represents any part of Los Angeles?
That Assemblyman is Cameron Smyth who represents the 38th District. That district includes Sunland Tujunga as well as the Santa Clarita Valley and points west.
The voter registration in the 38th District has now fallen to a mere 3.5 % difference with Republicans holding onto a very slim lead.
As a result, the opposition has targeted this district and a few others for the 2010 election. Get rid of the Republicans and you will have the 2/3rds vote to raise taxes and get rid of Prop 13.
Will Cameron Smyth be the last man standing? He already is!
What can we do? Sure support his campaign with money and volunteers, but we can do much more. We can force the opposition to spend some of their campaign war chest and volunteers in races like the 42nd Assembly race.
No assembly race gets a free pass. They must be forced to engage and use resources! Our campaigns must be aggressive from the very start.
The Unions have already spent over $200,000.00 dollars against Cameron this year sending out hit mailers to tarnish his name and record. This is the real deal folks.
Force them to engage and use their resources in other races.
With our objectives clear and an aggressive campaign now under way, I am asking that you invest in the effort and make a contribution to my campaign at this time.
We need to alert, inform and engage the Republicans in each and every district. Help me and help Cameron by making sure he is still standing and still representing the 38th District after November 2010.

Why should you support David Hernandez for State Assembly?
Good question, especially since I will be asking you for your support in the form of endorsements, money, volunteer time and most important, your vote.
At every level of Government, elected officials all too often reach for the “low hanging fruit” when attempting to demonstrate their concern for a challenge facing the Community, City, County, State or Nation.
Imposing more laws and restrictions on law abiding citizens has been the status quo for decades.
At times, these Politicians will justify their actions in the name of the greater good. They have also demonstrated their willingness to violate the California State Constitution in order to further their agenda and achieve their objectives.
Violating the California State Constitution is not just a matter of interpreting a document in Sacramento in a different light; to be determined by those with the resources to mount a legal challenge or defense.
No, it is at the very core violating the constitutional rights of the residents of California!
Yes, there are groups which at times, step forward to challenge the actions of our politicians, but these are limited and often end with the exhaustion of resources.
Those violating your rights often have unlimited access to resources (your tax dollars) to defend the imposition of their agendas or those of Special Interest Groups, on you and you fellow citizens.
Do you really believe we need more laws to solve the challenges facing California?
Take a look at the existing group of California laws and ordinances
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html
Now tell me our problem is the lack of laws.
I believe we have too many laws, many of which are not adhered to as it is.
Given the growth of the California Government, and the tax dollars needed to feed this ever expanding beast; clearly more laws and more taxes are not the answer.
We cannot tax our way into financial stability.
The time has come for you to have someone representing you in Sacramento who will stand up and challenge the violations of your Constitutional Rights.
Here is the California State Constitution; when elected I will do more than just take an Oath to up hold it.
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/const-toc.html
No, my friends, I pledge to you that I will fight to protect your Constitutional Rights from all who attempt to violate them.
My name is David Hernandez and I am asking for your help and vote. Send me to Sacramento on June 8, 2010 and you will have someone to challenge those who would violate your rights.
