Election Voter Guides 2024

My Blog Post from 2022 goes into much more detail, but here are resources to help you research candidates and propositions to make informed decisions, plus my personal picks and reasoning below …

Remember that in California, its an Open (Jungle) Primary, which means the top two vote-getters in the following races move on to the General Election in November, regardless of party affiliation:
– U.S. Representative
– U.S. Senator
– State Senator
– State Assembly Member

Please keep this in mind. Sometimes it may be necessary to vote for a lesser but still conservative candidate that can prevent two leftists from getting through.

And, whenever possible, please vote in person on Election Day!

My 2024 Picks for Irvine, California (Orange County)

President of the United States
– Donald J. Trump

Member, County Central Committee, 73rd Assembly District
– Scotty Peotter
– Christina L. Shea
– Jennye Bigelow

NOTE: Since there are 15 candidates running, tactically I’m voting for only 3 instead of 6 here to give each of the above the best opportunity to win. These are the team that will help us take back control of our Republican Party. I will likely run for this office in 2028 and would appreciate your vote then.

United States Senator – Full Term
– Steve Garvey

NOTE: I believe Sharleta Bassett is the best America First conservative candidate, but I am concerned about preventing both Adam Schiff and Katie Porter from being the top two vote getters in this race. From the polling I’ve seen, I believe Steve Garvey can beat Katie Porter and keep her from moving on to the General Election.

United States Senator – Partial/Unexpired Term
– Steve Garvey

NOTE: Sharleta Bassett is not a candidate in this race.

United States Representative
– Max Ukropina

NOTE: While Scott Baugh appears to be favored, I believe Max is the best America First conservative candidate. I believe he can beat Scott Baugh in this race and be one of the top two vote-getters. I fully support Max Ukropina.

State Senator – 37th District
– Crystal Miles

NOTE: I would normally vote for Steven Choi here (a solid, proven conservative), but he has been in politics a long time, so I’m voting for new blood. As far as America First conservatives, it appears that Crystal Miles is a better choice over Guy Selleck, but Guy Selleck appears to be a good choice as well. The problem here is that having too many Republican choices in the Primary splits votes and makes it hard for any of them to win against the incumbent Democrat, Josh Newman. I would like to see Steven Choi and Guy Selleck drop out immediately and endorse Crystal Miles. As a party, this is the way we need to work together as a team if we are going to remove the leftists and vote in America First conservatives.

Member of the State Assembly – 73rd District
– Scotty Peotter

Judge of the Superior Court
– Office No. 3 – Jason Baez
– Office No. 16 – Binh Dang
– Office No. 35 – Whitney Bosky

NOTE: I did not personally research each judge, but relied on the ranking system provided by JudgeVoterGuide.com above. NONE of these judges is a strong, strict Constitutional constructionist. They all rank only 3 stars out of 5. They are unfortunately the best of the worst. You can understand why we have such ridiculous rulings in our courts when so many judges are activists and don’t hold to traditional interpretation of the Constitution.

Proposition 1
– NO

NOTE: I urge all taxpayers to vote NO on ALL bond measures. These debt issues are just a hidden tax increase. Instead, let’s require some fiscal responsibility. If this is an important project, cut something else to afford to pay for it.

Measure D – City of Irvine
– NO

NOTE: There are mixed opinions on this. It would increase the number of city council members from 4 to 6 plus a mayor. It would also divide the city into 6 “districts” and the residents of each district would only be allowed to vote for their 1 city council rep that reps their specific district, plus the mayor. Right now, every Irvine resident no matter where we live, gets to vote for all 4 members plus the mayor. There is discussion that the result of splitting into districts is that it would create separation lines based a lot on race, plus it severely limits city residents from being able to vote for more than one city council member that represents their values. That’s why I’m voting NO.

These are my thoughts and reasoning. I welcome to hear from you if you have a different opinion.

May God go before us and protect these elections from fraud!

The Time For Audits Is Now!

Fraud ChartThe Biden Regime, since it claims to be interested in unifying America, should take the opportunity right now to have all key races audited openly, publicly, transparently and immediately. The Election Fraud Deniers have the opportunity to prove their case directly to the American People right now. If audits don’t happen immediately, what does that tell us?

My Election Day Prayer for America

2 Chr 7:14GAME DAY! My Election Day prayer. Blessings to you all!

Dear Heavenly Father,

You are Lord of all creation, the one and only true living God, the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. You know everything from beginning to end before it happens. There is nothing You do not know. And You are everywhere at once. You are not penned in by time or space. And You are all-powerful. There is no act too small or too great for You to accomplish, in an instant, by Your Will, by Your Word. If You Will it to be so, so it is. There is no one, no thing that can stand in Your way.

We are Your children, born again of the Spirit, reconciled to You through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, dying in our place, taking the punishment we deserve and giving us instead that which we do not deserve – eternal life in heaven, in fellowship with You forever.

We stand convicted of transgressing Your Holy Law. We have removed You from Your rightful place as the top priority in our lives to chase after our selfish indulgences. We’re sorry for our personal sins and the collective sins of our nation that have brought us to this point of judgment. We bring these sins before You and confess them openly to You. We ask You to reconcile us back to Yourself, and we pray for Your mercy, grace and forgiveness.

It is with great sadness that we observe the intentional destruction of our once great nation by infiltrators from within, but we also acknowledge that it took this depth of evil to wake us up from our comfort, to shake us off our foundation, to remind us that it is You and You alone who are our provision. We have arrived in this state because we, Your church, those who profess to have put our faith and Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, we have not been light and salt in this world. We have been apathetic or ignorant at best, and at worst, complicit in the undermining of our society, allowing You to be systematically removed from every facet of our culture.

You have been patient with us, very patient, but You are a righteous God, a just God, and the time has come for You to act. We deserve judgment, but we are awake now, Lord, and we pray that You do not give us what we deserve. Instead, we pray for a reprieve, for grace, for You to hear our prayer, forgive our sins, and heal our land.

You are a good and gracious God, a loving God, a forgiving God, our Father in heaven. You love us, Your children, and You want only what is best for us. You are the perfect parent. When necessary, you give us the discipline we need, and you balance that perfectly with grace, forgiveness and comfort, always with the loving intention of convicting us, not condemning us, that we might confess our sins, repent, and return and be restored in right relationship with You.

It is therefore with great faith and optimism that we look forward to the work set before us with this election today. Let this be the pivotal moment that America turns back to You. We ask that You guide us and strengthen and enable us to shine Your light in the darkness, to be bold, in a loving manner, to expose the evil and corruption that has plagued our nation for so long, and that You would cause Your people everywhere to take a stand, to show up, to exercise our civic responsibility, our duty, to vote for those candidates and measures that are just and fair and righteous.

Lord, God, we pray for You to restore us to being once again One Nation Under God, that we would place You first in everything we think and say and do. We humble ourselves, Lord, and we bring this prayer before You. We seek Your face, and we turn from our wicked ways that have brought us to this point of near destruction. We ask that You hear us from heaven, that you forgive us our sins, and that you heal our land!

In the mighty name of Jesus we pray,

Amen

Election Voter Guides & Poll Worker/Poll Observer Tools & Resources

Comparing Results from Trump vs. Biden

The upcoming November 8th midterm election is mission-critical if America is to continue as a free, sovereign nation. Voter fraud is rampant and the goal of the left is the utter destruction of our constitutional republic and the ushering in of globalism. Many of our friends are playing the role of “useful idiot,” defending and supporting the march toward socialism, the destruction of international borders, and the removal of God from both the public and private squares.

Think of it this way … before the basketball game even starts, the other team already has 40 points up on the scoreboard. We have to overwhelm the polls with conservative voters to make up that deficit before it becomes a fair race. And participating as poll workers and observers, and even citizens just paying attention and documenting their experiences, will serve both as deterrence up front as well as providing contemporaneous evidence for use in making future elections more secure. If we have conservatives observing, holding election officials accountable on election day, and documenting any observed malfeasance, we can reduce that deficit from 40 points to 30 or 20 by preventing some of the fraud from taking place.

Opinions from a Former JudgeThe goal, as far as I see it, is to reclaim the House and Senate this November so we can go back and expose what really happened in the 2020 election and work to restore free and fair (transparent) elections going forward. That means every vote matters more than ever, so please encourage every conservative you know, especially the ones who rarely vote or think their vote doesn’t count, to get out and vote for the America First Republican, or the RINO if necessary to prevent a Democrat from winning if there is no America First candidate on the ballot. Independents and Libertarians, please do NOT steal votes away from the Republican candidates. You’re not going to win and you’re only aiding and abetting the enemy’s efforts if you don’t stand with us in 2022!

 

Here are some tools to help you make sure your vote IS counted.

1. EDUCATE YOURSELF & ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME!

These are websites that provide information about candidates, parties and propositions so you can make up your own mind. Most give explanations as to the leanings and positions of candidates on specific issues with links to their websites so you can conduct your own research. The judges are vetted as to whether or not they are activists, creating law from the bench (wrong branch, folks!), or strict constitutional “constructionists” that believe their job is merely to interpret the law according to the supreme law of the land. While recommendations are made, non-Christians and leftists could use these same sites to understand where candidates and propositions stand to help them to vote AGAINST Christian Biblical values if they chose to do so.

Calendar Nov 8 Election Day VOTE!2. VOTE ON ELECTION DAY

The fraudsters have estimates of how much cheating they have to do to counteract legitimate conservative votes. If you vote early, you are giving them ammunition to help them cheat. The best tactic we can deploy is to hold your vote until Election Day. Hopefully our numbers will be so overwhelming they will not be able to cheat big enough, or if they do, it will be obvious (like what happened in 2020 when they had to shut down counting in five states to give them time to cheat big!). We know what they did in 2020, and have eyes on every one of those areas, from paper to machines to wi-fi to router traffic and more, so we are observing and recording all those things in 2022 so we can more easily and quickly prove the fraud this time around.

So it goes without saying, do not mail your ballot in. And do not use a drop box. Take your ballot directly to the Registrar of Voters in your county and hand deliver it inside and watch it being placed into the ballot box (or place it there yourself if allowed).

 

3. SIGN UP TO BE A POLL WORKER OR POLL OBSERVER (OR BE AN UNOFFICIAL CITIZEN OBSERVER)

Being a worker is better because we’ve seen how observers can easily be obfuscated from conducting their duties – papered up windows or just being removed so far away that they cannot tell what’s going on. If you’re an actual worker, you can observe and be a deterrence up close. Call immediate attention to anything that does not appear to be right, ask a supervisor to intervene, and make sure it is documented by them and get a copy – or document it yourself (contemporaneous notes, notes taken at or shortly after an incident).

Thomas Paine Quote5. SUPPORT ELECTION INTEGRITY NOW & BEYOND 2022

If you want to help the soldiers for Election Integrity who are fighting this war on the front lines, doing everything possible to restore free and fair, transparent elections to our country, first and foremost – get involved directly. Each individual citizen must step up and do what they can in their own sphere of influence locally. If every conservative will stand up and get involved, we will win this fight. General Flynn says Local Action = National Impact. Don’t be looking for some other person to step up and save you. It’s up to you, yourself. Freedom isn’t free and it requires sacrifice from time to time. Are your kids worth it?

Next, if you can, please consider making a donation to The America Project (donations are not tax deductible). The America Project is making a difference in Election Integrity, Medical Freedom, Border Security, 2nd Amendment Rights, Parental Freedom, and Religious Freedom.

My Love Tustin Story

Love Tustin BannerSaturday, May 4th, 2019 at Peppertree Park – 7:30am to 2:30pm

Love Fullerton 2018 Bench Building CrewI attend a regular weekly Bible study in Fullerton every Monday night, so two years ago, when I learned about the Love Fullerton citywide serve day event produced by OC United, I volunteered to help out.

Love Fullerton 2018 Completed BenchLast year, our crew built a U-shaped bench in the outdoor classroom area for the Agricultural Department at Fullerton High School. Students previously had to stand when receiving instruction or for other gatherings. Now they have a beautiful bench to sit on, all because of the Love Fullerton event.

The year before that, I helped on a team to hang drywall in a garage that was being converted into functional living space in a house where former foster youth lived.

OC United LogoOC United, in partnership with a group called Love Our Cities out of Modesto, has helped launch and continues to produce events like Love Fullerton in eight other cities: Anaheim, Brea, Buena Park, Costa Mesa, La Habra, La Mirada, Orange, Placentia & Yorba Linda.

I was very impressed and thought how much I’d like to see an event like this in my home town of Tustin. After praying about it, I felt that the Lord was nudging me to step up and be the City Leader to establish Love Tustin, so I reached out to OC United and they helped me get things started.


The concept of Love Tustin and all the rest of the Love Our Cities events is for the entire community to come together for half a day once a year (at least initially) to provide resources and labor to complete desired projects for the benefit of all our city residents. We bring together city government, local businesses, non-profits, schools, and the faith community to help “cross pollinate” these groups so we can all expand outside our normal spheres of influence and get to know and work with others in the community.

Groups with needs propose projects, and volunteers then view the list of available projects and sign up to work on one or more of them at the LoveTustin.org website.


Love Tustin 2019 T-ShirtsWe still have openings and could use more volunteers for a few projects. If you would like to help out, please visit LoveTustin.org, choose a project or two and sign up.

The first 100 volunteers checking in on-site at the Rally at Peppertree Park on Saturday morning will get a FREE Love Tustin t-shirt! Also, Oliboli Donuts and Good Stuff Coffee will provide a light breakfast at the morning Rally, and Friends Cafe will provide a light lunch to show our appreciation for all the volunteers.

I hope to see you out there this coming Saturday at Peppertree Park. And SAVE THE DATE for next year – Saturday, April 25, 2020!
