Karina Onofre

Former Santa Ana Council Candidate Karina Onofre is hosting a meeting of the reopening chapter of the Santa Ana Republican Assembly, on May 1, at 7 pm, at her office, located at 726 S Main St., in Santa Ana, according to her Facebook page.

The new CRA State President, John Briscoe, will be their guest speaker.  He will address “strengthening our faith and family Republican party.”

Onofre is now a District Representative for Senator & Minority Leader Bob Huff – whose district covers parts of OC, LA and SB counties.

I don’t think the GOP will find renewal in California as long as they continue to cling to a socially conservative platform.  They would be better served sticking to issues of fiscal conservatism.

I also find it amusing that this GOP organization is relaunching on May Day.  In 2006, May 1 was chosen by mostly Latino immigrant groups in the United States as the day for the Great American Boycott, a general strikeof undocumented immigrant workers and supporters to protest H.R. 4437, immigration reform legislation which they felt was draconian. From April 10 to May 1 of that year, millions of immigrant families in the U.S. called for immigrant rights, workers rights and amnesty for undocumented workers. They were joined by socialist and other leftist organizations on May 1.

There is in fact a May Day March set for May 1, in Santa Ana, with a theme of immigration reform.

The GOP is currently in dire straits in great part because the Republicans chose to bash Mexican immigrants, destroying the good will created by President Ronald Reagan when he signed the Federal Amnesty law that gave so many immigrants a chance to become U.S. citizens.

  1. Hey Admin,

    Speaking of Republicans (although of the Orange Hills flavor), I was at Santa Anita today and the heavy betters were talking about the Derby, Orb and Verrazano are 2-1 favorites……………

    But, I was wondering if there should be a line on Dr. Art Lomeli “Business Owner” and “Taxpayer” in Santa Ana as he and his wife like to call themselves on when they will pay their past due property taxes! I guess they are tens of thousands in arrears.

    This is fitting for an anti tax republican like Lomeli, but flies in the face of his suportee’s: David Benavides and Michele Martinez who desperately need these public dollars to squander on their pet projects.

    So, what is the over/under on when the Liberal OC or the Union backed VOC question Lomeli and the suspicious circumstances behind his failure to pay is county property taxes?

    I say 1000-1 that these liberal knee jerks won’t question this.

  2. A) Nice article Admin. You touched on the central political themes of the day.
    B) Karina needs to get laid more often. She needs to move beyond religion and antiquated Republican Family values.
    Wake Up Karina! The new world Order wants you to be gay with 1.5 adopted children! It cares less about your 1950s value system.
    C) There is only one thing worse than New World Order international fake liberal PC fascism.
    That is uneducated Religious Ignorance.
    D) The Mayday march was kick Ass.

  3. Karina needs to take a year off from politics, read some books, get herself up to speed on America, Globalism, International finance, and then come back to the table.
