Grassroot Impact on the California Primary

In less than 30 days, voters will face the decision between the “Status Quo Establishment” or a “Grassroots Candidate“ in the California Primary.

Across America, “experienced” candidates have smeared their “Average Joe” competition with lies, intimidations and destruction of property, while using your suffering for political spin in their quest to keep power.  However, across our country, voters have stood up and elected candidates who are OF the people, BY the people and FOR the people instead of “Establishment” candidates.

This election has politicians scared because real representation has decided to stop the madness happening in our government.  In Utah, Mia Love won the GOP nomination for the 4th Congressional District over political insider Carl Wimmer.  In Chicago, “Joe the Plumber” was victorious in defeating the party favorite, as was Richard Murdock in his victory over 26 year establishment incumbent, Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana. 

The voters were victorious in reclaiming their districts with candidates who will be “Representatives OF the People”  and not lapdogs to those who have contributed to legislation that has destroyed our country.

California’s 3rd Congressional District also has a rising star within grassroots groups.  Rick Tubbs, an Air Force Lt. Colonel and Squadron Commander serving at Travis Air Force Base, is running as a Conservative Republican who knows first-hand the issues facing families today.  Being raised on welfare by a single mom, his years in the military and his close knit family makes Tubbs the poster child of today’s “Average American.”

While the two establishment candidates running for this congressional seat are busy holding high priced fundraisers, Rick Tubbs and an army of grassroots volunteers have been religiously knocking on doors for months. Tubbs has held numerous Townhalls throughout the district to build a connection directly with voters, earning the position as Representative.

Once again, California has no say in the Presidential Race. However, Congressional Races are vitally important. It will be interesting to see if voters recognize that California holds the key to victory in 2012 through these races, but only if they choose a candidate who voters can be energized with to support in November.
