Liberals in Sacramento are intent on punishing car owners

Hoping that taxpayers would not take notice, Democrat Legislators introduced SB 6X and AB 6X in Sacramento last week during the “Special Session” of the Legislature.

This proposal would TRIPLE the amount every California car owner pays to annually register a car – even as the economy continues to tank and as family budgets tighten evermore significantly. Happy Holidays from Sacramento liberals! (Click below to see a video of me on the Senate floor speaking against tax increases for Californians).

Join me in saying NO to this travesty! Join our Taxpayer Revolution and make your voices heard to the liberals in Sacramento who must listen to taxpayers.
Stop Car Tax

Tough choices must be made to fix the state budget mess, but tripling every Californians Car Tax is not the answer!

Sincerely,

Sen. George Runner

Thanksgiving Message

Dear Friends:
I hope this message finds you well as we begin the holiday season.

Despite the glum news that seems to blare nonstop on television, radio, and the Internet, we remain a very blessed nation. Even during these difficult economic times, we still have much for which to be thankful.

For one thing, our nation enjoys the peaceful transition of power. In many places around the world, opposition to the government means threats of violence and even death will be leveled against you. Here in the United States, when a party moves from the majority to the minority, it is not threatened by violence and intimidation, and still retains a voice in government.

Veterans Day - A day to thank those who have served

Next week, America celebrates Veterans Day in honor of the millions of men and women who bravely served our country – many of them sacrificing their lives for the sake of our freedom.

Veterans Day celebrations began in November 1919 when the Armistice was signed at the conclusion of World War I. President Woodrow Wilson said: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…”
