Examiner.com: Inland lawmakers introduce resolution to bring awareness to human trafficking
Editor’s Note: Once again, please click to read more. Naomi will thank you.
The United States government estimates that up to 27 million persons worldwide are trafficked for the purpose of forced labor. Close to one million of these victims are children who are forced into the sex trade while other victims work under guard in sweat shops, as domestic help, and in agricultural businesses. Between 15,000 and 17,500 new victims are brought in the United Stateseach year, making the United Statesone of the top three destinations for human traffickers.
On October 18, 2010, former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law SB 657, the “California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010. Beginning in January 2012, the law will require manufacturers and retailers in Californiato ensure their supply chains are free of slavery and forced labor and that their policy be posted on their websites.
To bring further attention to an issue that is now growing faster than drug and weapons smuggling, two Inland Empire Assemblymen, Mike Morrell (R-Rancho Cucamonga) and Tim Donnelly (R-Twin Peaks) introduced ACR6, a resolution declaring January as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. ACR6 also names February 1 as “California’s Free from Slavery Day.”

iePolitics: A Class Act
It was a nice surprise to go to my mailbox tonight and find a thank you note from Mike Morrell. It’s probably the third such note I have received from him since he started his campaign. From the beginning I have been so impressed with Mike and the way in which he conducts his life. I am very happy that he won the Republican primary for the 63rd Assembly District. I know he will make a great Assemblyman. Continue reading
iePolitics: Chris Jones and Jessica Austin Defeated!
This one win makes up for all other losses. Congratulations to Mike Morrell. It is nice to see good triumph over evil. And Mike Morrell is a good man who was outspent by a very large sum and was the subject of an enormous amount outright lies by Jessica and Chris.
Way to go Mike! And also congratulations to Paul Chabot. Insiders did not consider you a real contender and look what you pulled off! You should be proud of the campaign you ran.
iePolitics: Mike Morrell for the 63rd Assembly District
As a small business owner who has lived and worked in the Inland Empire for over 30 years, I have gained the experience of successfully creating jobs – something our state badly needs in the face of double digit unemployment. I have signed the “No New Taxes Pledge,” and am endorsed by the National Tax Limitation Committee. The California Small Business Association has also endorsed me, because I am committed to spurring job growth and improving the economy by preventing new regulations and reducing the litigation and tax burdens that cripple small businesses. The government must begin living like we do – “within our means.”
I am conservative economically, politically and socially. I have been married to my wife Joanie for 32 years. We are pro-life, support the Second Amendment, and believe in traditional family values. Our daughter Kristen is a graduate of the Focus on the Family Institute, our son David recently graduated from law school, and our youngest, Matt, attends Hillsdale College.
I am concerned that our greatest enemy today is an insidious progressive agenda that weakens our nation from within: economically, politically and morally. The message we hear from progressive leaders is that “government is the solution.” History, however, proves otherwise. Big government is not the solution; rather, it is the problem. As government expands, liberty contracts and freedom is lost. Politicians believe elected office is about “they the government,” and have forgotten those three foundational words written in our Constitution, “We The People.” Continue reading
iePolitics: The Race for the 63rd Assembly District
The 63rd Assembly District is one of two hotly contested Assembly seats in San Bernardino County. There are seven Republicans vying for the Republican nomination, six of which are actively campaigning for the seat. They are: Mike Morrell, Paul Chabot, Acquanetta Warren, Pat Gilbreath, Henry Nickle, and Don Kurth.
This was both an easy and hard decision for me, not as to whom to vote for, as I don’t live in the district, but rather whom to support. There are several very well qualified candidates.
There is only one candidate that I do not want to see win and that is Don Kurth. He was a convicted drug felon in his 20s and served prison time. Later in life he has had issues with domestic violence. He has also had some serious financial problems. But more important to me than any of that, Don, along with his campaign manager Jessica Austin, and campaign consultant Chris Jones, has run the single most unethical and dirty campaign in all of San Bernardino County. None of the three of them appear to have any ethics or integrity whatsoever. What they have done is shameful. And it would be shameful if a RINO such as Don Kurth received the Republican Party’s nod. Continue reading
iePolitics: Vote for Mike Morrell
iePolitics: A Most Excellent Endorsement
Whenever anyone complains about the Governator, my response is, “It ain’t my fault. I voted for McClintock.” Congressman Tom McClintock is a real Republican, not a RINO, and is a fiscal conservative. He would have made a much better governor than Arnold.
And Congressman McClintock knows another fiscal conservative when he see him. He has now endorsed Mike Morrell in his bid for election to the 63rd Assembly District. Congratulations Mike!

iePolitics: From Rancho Cucamonga City Councilman Rex Gutierrez
The June election cycle is far from over and already my stomach is turning at the vicious tone of recent political attack ads. Though I have been largely silent over the past year while fighting my own battles, I will not stay silent when I see grave injustices being perpetrated.
I want to very publicly condemn a recent attack ad sent by Assembly candidate Don Kurth against my friend, Mike Morrell. I call on Don to publicly apologize to Mr. Morrell, and refrain from the disgusting practice of tearing down another candidate for one’s own self interest. Mike Morrrell doesn’t deserve this. I know Mike Morrell, and he is a good man. His wife and children do not deserve to be humiliated for nothing more than being successful, God-fearing people who never harmed anybody. Sometimes politics is downright disgusting. Continue reading

Mike Morrell: Campaign
Dear Friends,
In California, a lot is at stake in 2010. While many in politics tax our lives to the hilt, new candidates speak of “fixing the problems” in Sacramento. But will these same men and women try to fix the problems with more government programs or more public spending?
I have raised my family and built my business on the American pillar of self-government. If elected to our State Assembly, I will keep my word to fight to end the job killing regulations, the anti-family laws, and the new taxes passed by the liberals in our State Assembly. If not, I will resign. Period. Continue reading

We hear today that the United States houses between fifteen and twenty-five million illegal immigrants. An estimated 32 percent of these individuals live in California, as our state offers assistance up to $11.2 billion annually. In light of the staggering fiscal and social problems inherent in these figures, what position should we Republicans take?
Certainly, we recall that ours is a nation of immigrants. From the Eastern seaboard Lady Liberty calls, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” Truly, America is unlike any other nation, with neither racial nor ancestral borders to define us. Yet our founders determined a set of immovable principles, both political and moral, and these became the “ties that bind.” These principles found clear expression in our early writings.
