[Rabbi Shifren is a Candidate for California State Senate]
I joined the Sierra Club in the early 70's, idealistic and full of vigor, absolutely inspired by my family's hikes in the high mountain passes and glacial lakes of the Sierra Nevada. From the day that my father drove through the Wawona Tunnel in 1958, securing our spacious campsite right in the middle of the presently most coveted and crowded park in the world, Yosemite, I have been actively engaged in our natural resources. Now, after nearly 46 years of surfing and life guarding at our Southland beaches, I have learned to respect and admire the grandeur and beauty of our state from the perspective of an adult, balancing kids' tuition's, family responsibilities, and work.
With this in mind, I was amazed at the Sierra Club's endorsement for State Assembly (District 47), Democrat Jones. Looking at the accolades showered upon him, there is nothing mentioned about how he will "create" jobs, any jobs, let alone "green" jobs. WE ARE IN A DEPRESSION HERE IN L.A. COUNTY. While a recital of environmental ethos at this time may seem praiseworthy to some, it is hardly relevant when people in the state are some of the most over-taxed, over-regulated in the country--adding to the misery of a nearly 20% unemployment rate.
But there's something more disturbing than just liberalism at play here. There is anarchy. Candidate Jones boasts of endorsements from Jesse Jackson and Maxine Waters! Is this something you boast about? Or is this something best kept a closely guarded secret? Why is this endorsement telling? Because for most Americans, Jackson is synonymous with the most banal type of race-baiting and mudslinging. Extortion of Toyota and Coca Cola are notches in his belt for previous race trafficking, coercing companies to payola, lest they prefer to deal with accusations of "racial issues."

Waters? She unabashedly came out for Soviet style regulation of our oil industry! The press? No problem here, after all, it's a democracy, right? For everyone except those that advocate upholding the law, Like Sheriff Joe and Gov. Brewer of Arizona. In any normal country, Waters would be sacked subsequent to her being tarred and feathered. Here is a corrupted politician that has done diddly for her Black constituents regarding jobs, the dumbing down of inner city schools, or ethnic cleansing by Latino gangs. But what is sinister is that not only is she given a pass, this type of political anarchy further emboldens candidates such as Democrat Jones to further the misdeeds, corruption, and fleecing of the taxpayers--all with the acknowledgment by the politicos that he is following in the "Democratic" mould.
Finally, what planet does the Sierra Club live on? Must one necessarily be a radical, tax and spend liberal to appreciate the natural beauty of California? Are we not dependent on the fundamentals of prudent economic policy, insuring both high-quality jobs balanced by a sober stewardship of our environment? Where is the balance here on the part of the Democrats and their choke-hold on the environmental movement in our state?
My father, an ardent environmentalist, once taught me: THE UNEMPLOYED MAKE POOR GUARDIANS OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES.
Our latest embarrassing voter turnout indicates that the majority of Californians are fed up with politics as usual. The corruption and waste in our state is so endemic, so completely transparent, that many voters have simply gone underground, seeing no relief from our governmental institutions. I urge all those disaffected voters that are beyond outrage to support me.
--
I pledge to work for a part-time government. My opponent, Curren Price,
insists on full-time ripping off the public, wasting your money 24/7
-- I pledge legislation of Jamiel's Law
-- I pledge to make English our state language
-- I pledge to work for a "tent city" in our
prisons. No more country clubs with free medical and dental for those
that rape and kill our loved ones.
-- I pledge to break up school districts, giving power
back to local communities, letting them be accountable for their children's
education
-- I pledge to oppose sharia law
-- I pledge to close the border. Period. Gangbangers
and felons from across the border will be made to pay for their acts,
serving as a deterrent to the wannabes
-- I pledge to NEVER raise taxes, rather, I will seek
a 10% reduction for starters. Same applies for government spending.
Most important: I PLEDGE TO DO WHAT IS NECESSARY TO BRING BACK ALL THOSE BUSINESSES THAT LEFT OUR STATE DUE TO A DEMOCRATIC TYRANNICAL ATTITUDE TOWARD ENTREPRENEURS AND INVESTORS, THOSE CREATORS AND HARD WORKERS IN OUR SMALL BUSINESSES.
