Would you join a political party that says it is for limited government, yet has legislative leaders vote to raise car taxes and fees by $25 billion over eleven years—and other legislators that vote NO?
Would you join a political party that proclaims itself to be the Party of law and order, the Party defending the Constitution that has legislators and congress members willing to give citizenship to criminals from foreign countries, illegal aliens? And elected officials that want to uphold the Constitution and the laws.
How do you get people to join a political party when one person donates $43 million to his candidates and causes in 2011-12? That is more than many unions spend.
What motivates people to join a political party? In today’s climate it is more ideology than emotional. That is why the fastest growing “Party” is neither GOP nor Democrat, it is Decline to State. Until the GOP decides what it stands for, why join the Republican Party in California when a small wealthy clique control it and its elected officials are so divided on key issues of the day? The Tea Party movement on the Right and the Progressive movement on the Left are based on policy, consistency and unity—can the GOP or the Democrats (owned by unions) say the same?
New report shows more concern for California GOP
Democrats make up 43.9 percent of the registered population, but the state’s share of Republicans has declined to 28.9 percent.

A new study of California voters shows the state’s Republican Party may be in deeper trouble than previously thought.
The Public Policy Institute of California this month released a report showing there are roughly 100,000 fewer Republicans today than there were a decade ago, even though the state’s number of registered voters has increased by 2.9 million. Democrats make up 43.9 percent of the registered population, but the state’s share of Republicans has declined to 28.9 percent. That’s a drop of nearly 7 percentage points over the last decade.
The report also showed four out of 10 independent voters increasingly lean Democratic, compared to three out of 10 that Republican. Most Republicans live in Orange, Los Angeles, and San Diego counties and also the Central Valley — certainly no shock to anyone familiar with the history of California’s electoral map.
The data from the report means that it will be increasingly difficult for California Republican candidates to capture statewide positions such as the governor’s office and national seats in the U.S. Senate. Conceivably, it also means the Democrats could flirt with a supermajority in the California Legislature for many years as they have this session.
