THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CALIFORNIA - This site is dedicated to exposing the continuing Marxist Revolution in California and the all around massive stupidity of Socialists, Luddites, Communists, Fellow Travelers and of Liberalism in all of its ugly forms.


"It was a splendid population - for all the slow, sleepy, sluggish-brained sloths stayed at home - you never find that sort of people among pioneers - you cannot build pioneers out of that sort of material. It was that population that gave to California a name for getting up astounding enterprises and rushing them through with a magnificent dash and daring and a recklessness of cost or consequences, which she bears unto this day - and when she projects a new surprise the grave world smiles as usual and says, "Well, that is California all over."

Ricky Gill for Congress


Indian-American GOP candidate Ricky Gill.


A Hot Swing Seat  -  An up and coming Republican vs a Democrat Carpetbagger who just moved into the district
  • One of four targeted seats in California.
  • The Democrat has never lived in the district he wants to represent.


There will be a showdown in the Stockton centered 9th Congressional District seat between incumbent Democrat Jerry McNerney and Republican Ricky Gill, a 25-year-old political newcomer, this November.

In the primary McNerney led with 35,088 votes, or 48.4 percent. Gill had 28,652 votes, or 39.5 percent. John McDonald, also a Republican, came in third with 8,792 votes, or 12.1 percent.
 
McNerney, 60, is running on his record during his third two-year term in Congress. He touted being a moderate Democrat despite Republican leaders saying he is a tax-and-spend liberal.

McNerney has also had a high profile in issues like veterans’ affairs, maintaining the Delta and strongly opposing the proposed Peripheral Canal that would transport Northern California water to Southern California and southern San Joaquin Valley.

He carpetbagged and moved into the district from Pleasanton to Stockton on May 1, since the new 9th Congressional District is centered in San Joaquin County.


Ricky Gill -- "New Direction"




Gill, who turned 25 in May, based his campaign on being born and raised in Lodi and being better aware of San Joaquin County issues that his two opponents.

Gill also called criticized McNerney for being out of touch with San Joaquin County residents due to his East Bay roots, and said McNerney is not a moderate Democrat as he claims.

The California Farm Bureau Federation has endorsed Ricky Gill, a family farmer, running against Carpetbagger Congressman Jerry McNerney.
