1. Restoration Weekend – 8-28 in Santa Barbara – Special Event
Are you looking to be in sync with Glenn Beck’s Restoration Weekend – and our fellow tea partiers in DC? One of our members, Bryan Tari, whom many of you know because he plays keyboard at our events, is in real life a world-class pianist. He has two concerts scheduled this weekend – Sat, 8-28, at 7:30 & Sun, 8-29 at 3 at First United Methodist Church (Garden @ Anapamu). Tickets are only $15/$10 Students. A portion of the profits will benefit SBTP. Purchase tickets for “Bryan Tari Plays Chopin & Liszt, The Maestro in Summer Recital” from Arlington Ticket Agency 963-4408.

2) NOTE: Constitution Seminar is moving to September 25. Details soon.
If you have already registered and have questions, please email
dollymadison@sbtp-cs.org or call Elizabeth at 259.7191.

3) Call to Action – Calls Needed to Governor – NOW
Please call/contact Gov Schwarzenegger to veto AB 1602 and SB 900. These bills implement ObamaCare in our state. Phone: 916-445-2841 / Fax: 916-558-3160 ( new number) “Yesterday, the CA Senate passed key state implementation bills establishing the California health insurance exchange — AB1602 (Perez) and SB900 (Alquist/Steinberg) – making California the FIRST STATE IN THE NATION to take this central step of implementing the new federal health reform law! Several other bills passed as well, and many more are expected to go to a floor vote later this week. To get up-to-date info on all the State implementation and consumer protection bills in the State legislature, visit this link.”

As a sidebar, this is just another reason why we need Mike Stoker in the CA Assembly. Volunteer at www.stoker4assembly.com

4) Debate – Carly vs. Boxer – Wednesday, 9.1 @ 7 to 8 – C-Span TV
This may very well be the only debate between Fiorina and Boxer and could be the tipping point in the race. SBTP will notify members on or before Monday with a location if we decide to gather for this happening.

5) SBTP Targeted National Race – John Dennis, Queen Nancy’s Nemesis
Candidate Dennis gave an inspiring speech in Santa Barbara on Wednesday. Many tea partiers attended the luncheon honoring him. Dennis is on SBTP’s list of National Targets for Election. (The Left dismissed Scotty Brown, but the miracle of a defeat of Queen Nancy could not be excused.) John Dennis needs help now from the grassroots with his media blitz. Visit www.johndennis2010.com.

6) Update – 3rd Candidate in Congressional Race – Campaign Heats Up
Attorney John Hager has qualified to be on the ballot as an Independent candidate for the 23rd Congressional District seat now held by incumbent US Rep. Lois Capps. In an article in 8.26 SB News-Press, he states he is running against both Democrats and Republicans, and nearly all his interview attacks Tom Watson. www.watson4congress.com.

AZ Tough Immigration Bill Becomes Law – Please Sign Petition in Support of AZ

News Bulletin – Request by Gov Brewer to Sign Petition Supporting AZ Actions

(April 26, 2010) In response to increasing and escalating attacks from Mexican drug cartels and other detrimental activities by illegal immigrants in Arizona and the federal government’s failure to enforce immigration laws, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law Senate Bill 1070 on April 23. She stated that the safety of the citizens of her state was in danger, and the legislation was necessary to enforce existing federal immigration law and uphold the Rule of Law and rights of citizens. President Obama immediately challenged the authority of Arizona’s actions on civil rights grounds. Subsequently, illegal immigration supporters, including Mexico, have pledged to fight the bill in the courts. Street demonstrations have ensued, and, on Monday (4.26), protesters smeared swastikas on the Arizona Capitol building using refried beans, among other acts of violence and defacing of public and private property, what they term ”civil disobedience.” No mainstream media nor Bill Clinton nor any WH officials are condemning the unruly protests or comparing them to Timothy McVeigh.

SBTP commends Gov Brewer for her courage and suggests that members contact her to express their gratitude and sign the Petition to support AZ in its battle against the White House.
