Bob's Experience in Party Issues, Candidates and Organizations
I am asking for your vote come June 3, 2014, the "Open Primary", for the 8th Congressional District seat. The race will likely be the first race listed on your ballot.

Our Congressional District includes Highland, Yuciapa, the Morongo Basin, Yucca Valley, 29 Palms, Landers, Lucerne Valley, Barstow, Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley, Phelan, Pinion Hills, Barstow, Needles (and points in between) as well as all of Inyo and Mono County (the Eastern Sierras, the Desert and a strip between the San Bernardino Mountain s and the Highland freeway)

Some on-line info about me you could check out [partial sampling] includes:

[book I wrote about the danger of the Christian Coalition, Pat Robertson & his axeman, Ralph Reed] http://www.vvdailypress.com , Local News? [class action brought vs red light camera enforcement] . In a recent flyer in this campaign I wrote:

1. You will get an experienced civil rights & consumer advocate (an attorney by the way for over a quarter of a century) that will protect a woman's right to choose, will protect the right to choose one's marital partner, the right to be free from unlawful voter suppression tactics, policies & laws, the right to be protected against discrimination in employment, access to public services and benefits because of race, color, sex/gender, sexual orientation (perceived or actual), medical disability/condition, national origin and/or ethnicity being different. Bob will also protect the workers' right to organize and collectively bargain free of the fear of violence and unlawful retaliation. Bob will fight for reforms in the banking laws that give citizens a fair and efficient claim & appeal procedure for abuses. Abuses of Veterans will not be tolerated.

Bob's experience??? Bob has already served as a Court appointed mediator, arbitrator & temporary judge and with that experience has the ability to take hostile parties to resolution of their controversies, something sorely needed in Congress. Bob also filed challenge to Proposition 14 [that gave us the open primary (Brown v Bowen) under the Voting Rights Act & Civil War Civil Rights Acts (Title 42) and a due process, confrontation & preemption clause challenge to the infamous red light camera cases (Jaquez v City of Victorville). Bob in addition has served on "Protect the Vote" legal teams (also pro bono). Bob helped form a Human Relations Commission in Santa Ana California nearly 40 years ago.

2. Bob is a veteran volunteer in the California Democratic Party & will be able to work with leadership

Bob's experience??? Bob has served as a Regional Director (the first time when he was 19 and more recently in his 50's), has served on the Platform Committee drafting the Business & Professions Planks which have gone basically unchanged in the past decade. Bob has assisted in poll watching and working with the Registrar's office to find touch screen machines that were down in the Gloria Negrete McCloud campaign. Bob worked on Voter Watch campaigns for the Obama campaign as well.

3. Bob will not cut Social Security, Veteran's Benefits, Medicare, Medi-Cal benefits, public school funding by vouchers or expansion of charter school funding [especially to fund failed military & federal reserve policies]

4. Bob will add to revenue by NOT funding programs that the military says they do not want or need, capture tax revenue lost by tightening the offshore income concealment practices of foreign and American corporations making their income in the US.
