Angered by the treatment of two Border patrolmen. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher has begun an investigation into the disturbing pattern of undue influence that the Mexican government has applied in several Federal prosecutorial decisions.
"There is a hidden agenda here at play with the Ramos and Compean prosecution. The American people have a right to know who gave the order to go ahead to prosecute Ramos and Compean in the first place. I am sure Gonzales was in on it, and we need to know that. We also need to know as this case progressed where the President and Mr. Gonzales played a role in making decisions as to where they would be imprisoned, and if they would get out on bail during the time of appeal.

In a new development, the San Diego Association of Governments Regional Planning Committee has re-arranged the English language to fit the agenda of SDG&E. By a vote of 4 to 1, the Committee twisted its own stated energy goals to support an opposite meaning. In 2003, the other advisory committee of the Association of Governments, the Energy Working Group, formulated an overall strategy in response to the 2001 energy shortages.
The strategy consisted of benchmarks for green energy, as well as securing 65 percent of the countys electricity from within the county by 2010, and 75 percent by 2020.Last week, the Energy Working Group concluded that the powerlink is not consistent with that strategy as it would not reduce the dependence of the county on imported power.
Yesterday, the planning committee voted to support the powerlink, declaring that it meets two of the energy goals, namely using more renewable energy and (heres the kicker) increased the counties ability to import more power. HUH? The basis of the energy strategy outlined in 2003
was the opposite: it set specific goals to REDUCE imported power. So these career politicians inserted a new energy goal that was totally contrary to the spirit and intent of their own Energy Working Group.

San Diego Gas & Electric Co. still has its ace in the hole after the federal government said Thursday that designated energy corridors on the west and east coasts will remain in place.

Widely anticipated, the decision means SDG&E can play that ace in the event the California Public Utilities Commission refuses next summer to approve its $1.3 billion, 500-kilovolt Sunrise Powerlink transmission line.

This is the true saga of the Great Firestorm of San Diego and how natures whimsy has delayed an energy orporations rape of California citizens. It is also the tale of a Bush minion, an expert in crisis management, who is sent to save the day for the corporate bottom line.

San Diegans Protest Voting Machines and Registrar.

On a tuesday night, when much of America was watching 'American Idol', a large group of protesters turned a Supervisors meeting chaotic. The past two months have seen Walt Ekard, Chief Administrative Officer, hire a veritable rogues gallery of election officials. His choices have stirred incredulousness and outrage among a diverse group of voting rights advocates. His first hire was Michael Vu, who was registrar of voters in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Mr. Vu, it may be recalled, presided over two assistants who were convicted of vote tampering in the 2004 election. They refused to testify against Vu, who subsequently stepped down, declaring that it was just time for new leadership. In order to get to the bottom of the strange happenings in Cuyahoga County, a bi-partisan panel was established by the Elections Board.
