At our August meeting we will have a presentation by the San Diego Fire Department, and a presentation by Greg Rubin on Fire Safe landscaping. Greg Rubin’s company “California's Own Native Landscape Design” is a contracting company that designs, installs, and maintains California native landscapes. He has studied ways to reduce fire danger to homes through fire-resistant native landscaping, and will describe his techniques at our meeting. We will also have a presentation on the new Mira Mesa Chamber of Commerce that is now being formed. As a bit of background, there was a Mira Mesa/Scripps Ranch Chamber of Commerce that formed in the mid-1980's. It merged into the I-15 Diamond Gateway Chamber of Commerce in the mid-1990's, which merged with the Rancho Bernardo Chamber of Commerce to form the San Diego North Chamber of Commerce a couple of years ago. Now San Diego, CA 92126 CA Diego, San the feeling in the local business community is that the more regional Chamber is too remote from the community, so the new local Chamber of Commerce will focus on Mira Mesa businesses.

  • Powers Legislative Practice Group Date
    M E M O R A N D U M To: American Therapeutic Recreation Association From: Powers Legislative Practice Group Date: November 5, 2014 Re: 2014 Election Overview and Implications _____________________________________________________________________________ In the mid-term elections of November 5, the Republican Party won control of the Senate and added members to its majority in the House. Republicans now control both houses of Congress for the first time since the 109th Congress during President George W. Bush’s presidency. The current balance of power in the new Congress, compared with the current Congress, is described below. A majority in the House is 218 votes, while a majority in the Senate is 51 votes (60 votes for a filibuster-proof majority). Net Gains for Republicans in the 114th Congress (Beginning in January 2015) Senate House Governors Republicans 52 (+7) 243 (+13) 31 (+3) Democrats 43 (-5) 179 (-13) 17 (-3) Independents 2* (same) 0 0 (same) Pending 3** 13 2 * Sen. Angus King (I-ME) and Sen. Bernard Sanders (I-VT) currently caucus with the Democrats. **The Louisiana Senate race will head into a December runoff. The Virginia and Alaska Senate races are still too close to call. The Republican Party’s ability to retake the Senate and add to its majority in the House has major implications for the health care agenda of the 114th Congress. Discussed below are predictions for the lame duck session, the future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) fix including pay-fors, and entitlement reform. Potential Impact of Elections on the Lame Duck Session The House and Senate will reconvene on November 12.

  • 1 Jonathan Backer* One Month Before the 2014 Midterm Elections
    THOU SHALT NOT ELECTIONEER: RELIGIOUS NONPROFIT POLITICAL ACTIVITY AND THE THREAT “GOD PACS” POSE TO DEMOCRACY AND RELIGION Jonathan Backer* INTRODUCTION One month before the 2014 midterm elections, Dr. Jim Garlow, the pastor of Skyline Church in La Mesa, California, broke the law. At his Sunday church service, Garlow endorsed Democratic U.S. Congressman Scott Peters in California’s Fifty-Second Congressional District over his openly gay Republican opponent Carl DeMaio.1 “[Y]ou cannot have the advancing of the radical homosexual agenda and religious liberty at the same time, in the same nation,” Garlow explained to his congregation.2 While DeMaio shared many of the pastor’s ideological positions, Garlow instructed his congregants to either support the Democratic incumbent or abstain from the election, warning that a DeMaio victory would mark the vanguard of a socially liberal Republican Party and the absence of a political home for Evangelical Christians.3 As a condition of tax-exempt status under Internal Revenue Code § 501(c)(3), houses of worship—like all charitable organizations—may not “participate in, or intervene in . any political campaign.”4 A spiritual leader’s endorsement of a congressional candidate from the pulpit is a textbook violation of this tax-code provision,5 known as the “electioneering prohibition.” As part of an initiative called Pulpit Freedom Sunday, Garlow delivered his sermon in an act of civil disobedience, joining with other faith leaders in a coordinated effort to publicly flaunt the law and protest what they view as unconstitutional infringement of religious liberty and freedom of expression. Since 2008, over 3,800 pastors have participated in Pulpit Freedom Sunday.6 Participating pastors send copies of their sermons to the IRS, hoping to challenge the law’s validity in court.7 Pulpit Freedom Sunday participants do not disguise their intentions.

    Carl DeMaio’s San Diego County Election Guide (General Election 2018) The 2018 California General Election is November 6, 2018 and the ballot is incredibly long! With several confusing ballot measures and hundreds of candidates running for office, voters can feel overwhelmed. Fortunately, Carl DeMaio and the team at the DeMaio Report have thoroughly researched and vetted measures and candidates. Carl has issued an endorsement in almost every race. Among the factors that Carl DeMaio applies in issuing endorsements: Opposition to tax hikes (like the dreaded Car and Gas Tax Hikes); respect for the Constitution and personal freedoms; and support for small businesses and job creation against excessive regulation. Several candidates have appeared on the DeMaio Report and we have included their interview in the voter guide for you to listen to – and of course tune into the DeMaio Report each day 3-6pm to hear candidates make their final pitches to voters.

  • Outdoor Industry Association 2014 Election Preview
    Outdoor Industry Association 2014 Election Preview BACKGROUND ON 2014 ELECTIONS The 2014 election has been difficult to predict due to some dead-heat races in the U.S. Senate, but it appears that Republicans will have an edge next Tuesday in many close races and are poised to take control of Congress. Republicans need a net gain of six seats to win the majority in the Senate and control of both chambers of Congress. Republicans will continue to have a significant majority in the House of Representatives. The Outdoor Industry Association government affairs team has been closely monitoring dozens of races across the country. We work with donors to the OIA Political Action Committee (OIAPAC), who give their personal dollars, to support candidates who support the outdoor industry. OIA member dues are not donated to political candidates. UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for re-election. Currently, Republicans control 233 seats and Democrats control 199 seats, with 3 vacancies. The 2014 election is unlikely to change the Republican “supermajority” in the House and may, in fact, result in a larger number of Republican controlled seats, as they are projected to add between five and seven seats to their majority on November 4. Some of the key races Outdoor Industry Association is watching are those where OIA Political Action Committee (OIAPAC), made contributions. Those include: Representative Jared Polis (D, CO-2) – OIAPAC contributed $5000 to Polis. He has consistently been a champion for the outdoor industry, strongly supporting the recreation and trade agendas and regularly meeting with industry executives.
