JANUARY 5, 2008 PRIMARY ELECTION

March 8, 2003 - The California legislature approved moving the Presidential Primary to February 5, 2008. This is a positive action for the State of California.

The State Senate version of the bill authorizing the change requires the state to reimburse the counties for the cost of the additional election. The Democrats in the Assembly removed this provision from the bill.

The San Benito County Republican Party strongly urges the committee that reconciles the differences in this bill to restore state funding for the election. Requiring the county to pay for the state election amounts to another tax imposed by the Democrats on the county governments.

HOLLYWOOD'S FALLING STAR

March 3 - "A week after onetime Clinton supporter, David Geffen hosted a private dinner reception for those who raised at least $46,000 apiece for rising star Senator Barrack Obama (D-IL), Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) arrives in California to meet with top fundraisers working to raise a mere $25,000 for her March 24th Gala.

As Hollywood producer Geffen criticized Clinton by calling her polarizing and questioning her honesty, is Sen. Clinton a falling star with her onetime Hollywood supporters?"
