report from Maroubra Beach, Sydney, Australia,
acrosss to California...
What's
your background?
Well
if you mean political background I have none.
Why
should you be considered for the top job in California?
Because
I really Don't want to do it and it always amazes
me that these candidates would spend 10's of millions
of dollars for a job that's 24 hours a day and
only pays 170 grand.
What
political party do you represent, and why?
I
represent the true Independent party because I
believe that once elected to office you should
represent all the people equally instead of being
the democratic governor or the republican governor
of California you should just be ' the Governor".
What
do you stand for?
I
believe I stand for the people that cannot stand
for themselves.
What
don't you stand for?
racism,deceit,
greed and fear.
Who
are your main supporters? - why?
Anyone
that has sat and talked to me for any length of
time because they can taste my sincerity, my passion
and my willingness to sacrifice all I have for
the benefit of our people.
Your
detractors? - why?
For
the same reasons as above I am frightening to
the people that would force their will upon an
overly burdened community.
If
you got the job, what would the first things you
would do, from a practical and administrative
perspective?
I
would establish a budget cap to control the rampant
spending of our present government then I would
start from the top eliminating waste and outdated
programs to free up more money for our pressing
social responsibilities.
Ok,
if you didn't get in, and one of the others did,
do you prefer Arnie, Abner or someone else? -
why?
The
majority of other candidates are the same as they've
always been, wolves in sheeps clothing.

your not running in political circles, what keep
you busy?
I
am a surfer and I spend my time with my wife and
two children and in various community causes.

and why did you decide to run for California?

was tired of seeing people hurt and dumped on.
Why
are so many politicians held in disdain?
because
they are liars and power hungry.
Is
your current effort a one off shot, or would you
run again in the future,if need be?

I wear my heart on my sleeve and that they can
go to me with problems or concerns and I will
hold their trust.
