No effect
I recently read additional information concerning the CCES (Cooperative Congressional Election Study). In the original study in 2010 (mentioned in the Record Bee a few months ago) concerning non-citizen voting, it said that the breakdown was 45 percent white, 30 percent Hispanic and the rest was other. This study was followed up in 2012 and determined that most of the respondents whom said they were non-citizens, in 2010, actually had checked the wrong box in the survey.
But here is where it gets tricky. One analyzing group, made up of professors of political science and government, state that the persons whom said they were non-citizens in both studies did not vote (peer reviewed). The original study analysts say that 11 of 85 voted. In either case the total non-citizen vote is either zero or greatly reduced from the conclusions of the 2010 study.
Is there fraud going on? I am sure there is. Does it affect the outcome of any election? No.

Presented with the Bill
Bill Clinton should be a registered sex offender for what he did to 3 women, yet he is the darling of the Dem Party? What a great reference.
I dare any of you on the left to watch Hannity’s interview with Paula Jones, Anita Broderick and Kathleen Willey, and their treatment by the Clintons and tell me it was justified. None of the lame stream networks have ever interviewed the Clinton accusers of rape.
The Obamas and the Clintons hate each other, so don’t you think the Obama’s support of HRC is the height of hypocrisy? Oh that’s right, circle the wagons for the Dem Party even if it is wrong! Lemmings forever! Richard Nixon all over again and the Clinton scorched earth policy again! Burn Baby Burn! And the hell with America!
I could become a multimillionaire grinding up all the phones, Ipads, and computers of the Dems leaving the White House and associated agencies after this election! Bleach bit doesn’t hold an candle to grains of salt. There is no shame in this Administration.
Up to 18 million voter registrations may be illegal (i.e. 2 million dead people). The shopping mall shooter in Washington State was not a citizen, yet he voted 3 times under the motor voter law? How stupid is that. Not at all according to Dems. Yeah, right pervert the American System by not requiring Voter ID, you Dem’s sicken me. You work on the premise of divide and conquer with your rhetoric of bigoted, homophobe, xenophobe and on and on of which the majority is not. The NY Commissioner of Elections in NY City admitted on tape that they bus people around to different voting stations all day long to vote over and over again.
You on the left and black lives mater have taught a generation that it is politically correct to shot a police officer. Just like you taught a whole generation that Bill Clinton getting a Lewinski wasn’t sex. What a bastardization of America. The Constitution and what our founding fathers had envisioned has been perverted beyond belief. And you have the gall to call me deplorable.
You on the left are the deplorable, teaching hate and acting out on hate. You should be ashamed of yourselves, but you’re not because you’re PC.

Support Measure V
The citizens of Clearlake have an opportunity this November to help our city take a positive step forward by voting yes on Measure V — the road tax. Over the past year or so I have read many accounts of Clearlake police busting up illegal commercial marijuana grows and city employees abating hazardous and abandoned buildings. Under the direction of the current city council, our city has been moving forward with very limited resources. Now we have a chance to get a firm toe hold on addressing our situation with our poor roads. Make no mistake, Measure V will not solve our road problems. That will take millions of dollars and many years. But it will allow us to start addressing the issue by being able to attract and obtain outside grant money, maintain the current quality of roads and stop their degradation by allowing regular maintenance and begin a program of upgrading roads in some areas.
Measure V is unlike other road measures in that it solely and entirely is focused on our roads.
We all want our city to improve and flourish. I hope you will join me and vote yes on Measure V.

Bennett is right for Clearlake
This election time couldn’t be more important in both Americas history along with in our own City.
This letter is in complete support of Nick Bennett being elected to Clearlake City Council this Nov.
When I had to resign from council because of a family decision that relocated us outside the Clearlake city limits. I felt an enormous amount of guilt at not being able to fulfill my complete term on Clearlake City Council by about 6 months.
When the applications started coming in to fill my seat I couldn’t have been more impressed that Mr. Bennett stepped up after his recent retirement to hopefully fill my shoes and commit to another four years if elected this Nov. He was clearly the best choice at the time and thank goodness the council acted on it.
The last four years has been so crucial to fast tracking our City forward to positive thing and change.
Nick has proven himself in so many ways to our community. He is a man with a broad spectrum of understanding of what is needed in our city.
His service to our City has been explained as one of the most dedicated and honest with his years on the Clearlake Police Department. Both with outstanding detective work and keeping our streets safe while on patrol.
Nick also contributed with service in the U.S. Army. He was lucky enough to come home and not have to make the ultimate sacrifice that so many do.
This shows he has dedicated himself to service to our country and community for the majority of his life and is a strong leader with this experience under his belt.
Now that Nick has some experience under his belt in the council seat he has won the endorsement of the Lake County Board of Realtors and many more. Showing us again he knows what is best for the community and what will bring this City back to prosperity.
So, please come out and vote Nick Bennett for Clearlake City Council. You in return will receive a strong leader who can make solid, reasonable and fiscally responsible decisions for Clearlake to keep the momentum rolling forward that the past four years the council has worked really hard to begin.
