Campa-Najjar lost last time but it was to Duncan Hunter who’s dad had the seat for decades. Issa may be more easily painted as the carpet bagger he is, but it’s definitely an uphill battle.

Issa lost his seat in the last district redraw so he’s been out of Congress. He moved into the 50th to try and get back in.

I'M A LEAD FARMER, MOTHERFUCKER!

Edit: Was in a hurry earlier when I posted this... this is a fact-check article by AP against the claim that "California just passed SB 145, a bill that would end felonies for child rape and legalize pedophilia in the state."
https://apnews.com/afs:Content:9289454083

quote:

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. SB 145 would not legalize pedophilia. It would only give judges expanded discretion to determine whether an adult must register as a sex offender. Under current law, judges can make that decision in cases of voluntary, but illegal, vaginal sex with a minor age 14 to 17 and an adult within 10 years of the minor’s age. SB 145 would expand that law to include voluntary oral and anal sex within the same age parameters. The bill would not apply to any minor under the age of 14, nor would it apply to any age gap larger than 10 years. It also would not apply if either party claims the sex was involuntary. Advocates say the bill makes existing California law more inclusive for the LGBTQ community.
And then it goes into more detail.

SB-145.

I haven't personally looked through the bill and surrounding code.

Good. The sex offender registry is used too often to ruin young people's lives who never actually committed a sex offense.

Our legal age gap starts at 14 and is ten years?!?!?! Like, a 24-year-old in a consensual relationship with a 14-year-old is okay? What bozo decided the appropriate gap was ten years?

Wait, what? Where are you getting that? I'm pretty sure the age of consent in CA is 18 and if one person in under 18 it's a crime.

Edit: oh, didn't see the post up thread. Yeah, 10 years is way too wide a margin.

Read the post again. That is the age gap where the judge is given the option to not put someone on the sex offender registry. It's still a crime.

No, it is illegal for a 24 year old to have sex with a 14 year old. But in the case of vaginal sex, whether or not the offender has to register as a sex offender is at the judge's discretion. This bill merely extends that discretion to include oral and anal intercourse.

California has no Romeo and Juliet law. It is always illegal for an adult to have sex with a minor under 18 years of age.

That's a super heavy military and vet district in San Diego, and the challenger lost in 2018 by a fair amount.

It is also incredibly racist and bad. It contains Santee, known by many as Klantee, a place where a guy was spotted in a Klan outfit at the supermarket in the 2020.

It's the kind of place that has giant billboards showing aborted fetuses.

Trump being underwater there, and a guy with a "terrist" sounding name being neck and neck with a Republican is very bad for them.

It also includes like half of Escondido, a 48% hispanic city, and multiple impoverished reservation communities. People always bring up Klantee and write off the district as a lost cause but forget about everyone else who lives there.

The district is rural as gently caress and desert but is also gerrymandered to cut Escondido in half and reduce the voting impact of the hispanic population there.

Guy, please read better and don't be such a loving clown from now on. Heard too many idiots say this IRL already because they heard some idiot anti-California propaganda somewhere.. I'm honestly baffled that there are people who can think "hey did the state of California just legalize pedophilia within that gap???" and not immediately go "no, that's insane, I should read the thing."

It was gerrymandered, but gerrymandered to be conservative.

I'm not saying Escondido is crap, I'm saying the district is. They literally elected a known criminal over a light brown man last election.

I know, just reminding folks that along with the Klan members it was gerrymandered to give power to, there are an awful lot of disadvantaged people who have had their voices muted. Most of the discussion about the district mentions how racist it is without discussing who else lives there. (This is my district and my neighbors are all racist pieces of poo poo but our schools are full of kids from underrepresented families that I hope folks will remember when they are condemning the district)

Nah you can spend a bajillion dollars promoting whomever. Money is speech, unfortunately. Print signs, rent a billboard, run a television ad, give ten million to a PAC to do "uncoordinated" spending. Your bank account is the limit.

A contribution would be, say, printing the signs and then giving them to the campaign to distribute, thus saving the campaign printing costs. Then you have to consider the value of the signs against contribution limits.
