This was a remarkable week. I traveled hundreds of miles all over the State and met over a 1,000 voters. Yesterday, 34 leaders of different Tea Party Patriots groups, 9/12 Patriots groups and Campaign for Liberty groups conducted a conference call and were able to achieve a consensus in support of several candidacies. Mine was among them - all of those leaders supported my candidacy for CA Secretary of State. This consensus does not mean that all members of all groups will vote for me, however it means that majority of members of these groups support me.

These groups represent the strongest block of voters in the Republican primary this year. These groups put Rand Paul at the top in KY over massive support and endorsements of Trey Grayson by both state and National leadership.

While the mood in the country is decidedly anti Democrats, it is also anti-incumbents, anti-establishment, and anti-candidates who are seen as being in cahoots with and/or cherry-picked by the establishment in both parties. Judging by NJ, VA, MA, PA, KY, and UT, support from the old-boys network (from the old party establishment) is a kiss of death for the candidates in the Primaries. Tea Party Patriot groups are designated as 501(c)4, meaning that they cannot officially endorse candidates, however they can have unofficial straw polls and conference calls to discuss the candidates, and that is where consensus came from.

While the media and GOP old establishment are claiming that being a ‘queen of the birthers’ is a bad thing, in reality among rank and file Republicans, Independents and Democrats of the Tea Party movement, not GOP PAC controlled groups, it is the biggest selling point. People are waking up and realizing that a deal was made by the establishment of both parties not to question Obama’s illegitimacy for the U.S. presidency, however it makes them angry, it gives them a feeling of betrayal, and they feel that the elite has sold them out.

Each and every event and move by Obama reminds people of the fact that they have a guy sitting in the White House who refuses to show his long form birth certificate and who sits in the White House without as much as a valid Social Security number of his own. When Obama decided to cancel laying a wreath at the Arlington cemetery, it added wood to the fire.

Additionally, it seems that my opponent (for CA Secretary of State, Damon Dunn) has 2 strikes against him. One: being seen as a candidate picked by the old corrupt establishment, the other is the fact that he is seen as a carpetbagger, someone who came to CA after living in FL & TX as a lifelong Democrat; a former football player with no voting record, no history in the patriot movement, who did not disclose on his voter registration card his prior voter registration as a Democrat, and who tried to have his old voting registration as a Democrat deleted. People simply don’t trust him.

On the other hand, they know that I fought tirelessly to support the Constitution, and my record and dedication speaks for itself.

So, judging by unofficial polls of the most active voter blocks, I am ahead, and with a lot of room to spare. If those Sequoia and Diebold ballot counting machines are not hopelessly rigged, I should comfortably win the primary. We will have to wait a week and see.
