iePolitics: Looking for additional information regarding sexual assault by local congressional aide
This incident is said to have happened at Kinari in Victorville. It occurred at an official function. The aide and the wife of a prominent local politician were drinking heavily. Before the night was over, a Kinari employee was sexually assaulted. Agreement was made to keep the assault covered up. We have a good idea what deal was made and why but would like confirmation from anyone familiar with the incident.
Big Government: ‘Top Ten Most Corrupt’: Rep. Jerry Lewis Not Fit for Appropriations Chair
by Tom Fitton
Last Tuesday I sent a letter to Rep. Boehner regarding corruption in general and a specific call to reject Rep. Jerry Lewis’s (R-CA) reported bid to head once again the House Appropriations Committee.

From the affair with his secretary whom he eventually married after divorcing his wife to an ongoing federal probe, this moderate politician in conservative clothing has done more to run up the national debt than his Democratic counterparts in the adjoining district, George Brown and Joe Baca, combined.
Currently hailing from the Republican old money city of Redlands, Congressman Jerry Lewis has pulled the wool over many an eye with his “conservative” mantra but his voting record on fiscal matters has exposed his true agenda. As a member and former chair of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, Lewis has become known as Capitol Hill’s King of Payoffs.
Scott Folkens: Arizona 1070 and tax increases
1) Today I joined dozens of American Patriots outside of Joe Baca’s office showing our support for Arizona’s law 1070. The fact that 1 activist judge can overthrow the will of the people shows the need for major judicial reform!! Our Founding Father’s never wanted the Judicial Branch to legislate from the Bench. And for Judge Bolton to even pretend that Arizona’s law is unconstitutional gives evidence as to why the Founders believed that Congress should have the power of impeachment over judges who obviously are trampling on the will of the people.
