The budget for the State of California
amounts to a spending plan for a
fiscal year. It is a “wish list” if you will.
The approved budget allows spending
(and borrowing) and movement of
monies. The problem is not the
budget; it is the spending. Even if
money is budgeted it does not
mandate that it must be spent.
Even if money is budgeted it does not
guarantee that the money is available.
Spending must be prioritized. The
size of the budget must be reduced. A
reserve must be created. Money then
may be returned to tax-payers as a tax
refund, not an innovative idea or an
economic stimulus. Unused monies
appropriated to counties or other
governmental entities should be
returned to the State.

The economy soundness of a state
or nation is very important. Our
confidence in our decisions
depends upon some level of
predictability of our economy. The
California governor must work to
stabilize the economy. This can be
done by creating a business friendly,
especially a small business friendly
environment. Government must not
be an obstacle to establishing a
business. The permit process must
be made clear and easy to
complete. Regulation must be
eased. Manufacturing of products
must be encouraged in California.
Companies that would manufacture
energy saving, renewable energy
products which would be used in
this state need to be produced here.
People must clearly distinguish
between needs and wants. People
must assume responsibility for their
own decisions with their
accompanying benefits and
drawbacks. People are not
responsible for rescuing
government from its bad decisions;
government is not responsible for
saving people from the
consequences of their bad
decisions. (Life is a series of
decisions. A high school class in
decision making which could
encompass critical thinking would
serve our populace well.)

We who live in a civilized culture must
do our part assisting with the needs of
the dependent, sick, and elderly. We
must empower others to advance
themselves by, for example, teaching
others to fish, not by giving the
potentially capable a fish. Some are
truly in need while others have come
to think of themselves as being in
need; the latter express the concept of
learned helplessness. My desire is to
remove the undeserving and to
remove the stigma from the deserving.
An aggressive fraud unit will save
taxpayers millions of dollars. Welfare
begins in the home; it is followed by
the church. Charities are the next level
of fail safe while public assistance is
the approach of last resort.

If you would like to have Robert
Newman come to speak to your
town hall meeting, group, church or
other speaking engagement please
contact us at 909 422-3707.
Please remember this is a grass
roots movement to bring change to
California by the means of "the
people." To keep the campaign
running finances need to come in to
make that possible. It takes money
to make trips to various places and
there is administrative expenses
connected to the Secretary of State. If
you feel it's important to shift the
money, power and decision making
to the people then please support
this campaign!

Focusing on K-12, California’s educational
system has been steadily declining over
the years. More administrative tasks have
been imposed upon the principal as well
as the teaching staff. This is a diversion of
resources and must be reversed. Too
much time and resources have been
diverted from direct teaching and pupil
contact to testing. Too much emphasis
has been placed upon test scores while
the real focus of an education should be
success in life. Vocational/technical
courses must be returned to both the
junior and senior high school curriculum.
It must be recognized that not every
student has college aspirations. In
addition, life skills and decision making
techniques need to be incorporated into
the curriculum to help students avoid
some of the pitfalls of life, e.g., the sub
prime loan debacle, avoiding
indebtedness, and credit card over
usages. In general people need to learn
how to make wise decisions in life.

Water is the quintessential ingredient for
life. Without it everything dries up; and the
economy stops while people move away to
another location. So as long as there is
rain and snow, there is a solution for both
northern and southern California. A
peripheral canal is needed to by-pass the
Delta. Off stream reservoirs are needed to
capture snow melt along with diverted river
water. Yet these approaches must
consider environmental sustainability. The
northern water must be purchased at a
handsome price. The lifestyle of the
northern residents must be honored. The
niche and habitat of salmon, trout and
other species must be preserved.
Water must be conserved and recycled.
Desalination may be of great value, though
costly and energy consuming. Toilet-to-tap
water is another viable approach. Long
term rather than short term “finger in the
dike” solutions with input from water
experts rather than law makers’ “best
guess” are appropriate.
