Update of Candidate Russel Blewett for hesperia City Council
Mr. Blewett did not, and expressed full intent to never answer my questions I sent to him. You can read them in this blog as it was my first post. He was the first of many messages I have sent to local officials here in the High Desert. You can read his comments via FB photo comments, as he has accepted me as his friend, but blocks my posts to his wall asking him to clarify his positions regarding his motivations for his position on CA Prop 19. he did indicate he opposes this Proposition but would not elaborate on the many local issues it would create. He feels this is not a city issue. Do you feel the same way? As I was clicking over to copy the link for the photos and comments from Russel Blewetts photo gallery they are no longer posted.......Funny!!!!!

Hesperia City Council Candidates and their information
Here is the list of candidates running for Hesperia city council. I have already sent numerous messages to or regarding Russ Blewett and intend to contact each one of these candidates directly with the same question I posed to him. I hope these potential elected officials will respond promptly and publicly to my request regarding a major issue affecting my local community and allow their constituents to decide for themselves if they are the right candidate. I grew up in and left Hesperia for many reasons but currently I would be very attracted to this city as a potential small businessman, property owner, father, and American, if it's problems can be rectified.
Stay tuned for thoughtful, meaningful responses from the people who wish to govern the city of Hesperia........I will keep you posted as I am contacted.

My Justification of My Position to Vote YES on CA Prop 19
I intend to vote YES on CA Prop 19 on November 2, 2010. There are many reasons I believe that this is the right answer to so many of California's problems, and why I am anxious to see the opportunities for future success this proposition will provide to my local community.
I believe this proposition will cut to the heart of many, many problems we all have, and find long term solutions for those problems. It is not a partisan issue that should divide our State or Country but one that should unite ALL Americans to obtain the correct information for themselves, and decide for themselves......and most importantly it can hold every politician from the local level on up accountable for their specific actions to support or derail it.
I consider myself to be a moderate Republican, and do associate strongly with the Tea Party Patriots ideals. The most important issue in my town (Victorville, CA) is unemployment. Without a doubt every person living in the High Desert region realizes this is the reason for many local problems. While the Federal jobless rate stays around 10%, we here are experiencing double that at least. I myself am no longer part of the unemployed statistics because I have been out of work for so long.
Our region was created for real estate development, and construction, but needs to be enhanced with production and manufacturing to support the expected future growth. We have many of the tools to complete these big dreams of private sector individuals, wanting to develop and grow the High Desert Region of California. The problem is almost every city has been corrupted in some way to spread the federal money around to all these projects. We need to change that.
We need less Federal involvement, and more ability for our States to protect themselves from a future Federal impositions. This is a bill which will challenge the drug industry filled, overspending, compromised Washington Bureaucrats. They as a whole are killing many more Americans than they are saving by creating a failed "War on Drugs".
This proposition will create massive amounts of revenue at all levels of government. Every city, county, state could use this right now. Most importantly it will create hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of new jobs right here in California and will transform every community that supports it. Travel and tourism will definitely return in force to witness California's Green Agri-tourism revolution. Plus it will take people who are currently doing something illegal, and provide them with a job opportunity in the industry they know very well. Good jobs, union supported jobs, jobs that will educate them for a future and prepare them to lead instead of follow. Jobs that should be available to be modeled for Mexican employers to solve their unemployment crisis.
Mexico is a key reason we have to legalize marijuana. This is where many of the problems associated with it stem, and they intend to legalize it themselves. We support these drug cartels by giving them the power over the money this industry already has, and will continue to have in the future. It is estimated 60% of the revenues from illegal drug sales from Mexico are coming from marijuana. Why would we give this much money(power) to our enemies of a 30 year long war??? We in Californian additionally support the industry as a whole, but almost every member of the work force that drives this $14 Billion industry does so illegally. We can no longer allow all these Americans to be used like this anymore we must reform our laws and evaluate different measures of success, our current measures are not accurate measures and we are being lied to. We used to value individual achievement and honor, now we value supporting of our enemies, and usurpation of it's people.
It will indeed be supported by conservatively 50% of Californians. I want leaders in my local government being part of the majority looking for some good returned to our communities. We need to take the hate associated with this plant which controls lives, and too many deaths to support it's current form of regulation.
Try a different approach, if it doesn't work we at least would have hired many thousands of people researching whether or not it will work for the good or the bad. Not to mention the increased University spending for independent research. How many teachers are still taking furlow days this year, have been laid off? I want them back preparing these new students to strive for knowledge in the University Level.
I look at the generation of leaders before me and am frankly appalled. We don't even know half of the crooked deals at our expense and we already hate them all. I do not want to hate anymore. I want my kids to look around at the community I leave them with and say thanks Dad you did a good job. Maybe......a kid somewhere will get inspired to do something about changing his or her world.........and do it.

"Dear Mr. Blewett,
I hope to get a response from all candidates soon so I can make a logical decision regarding my local cities upcoming elections.
*Facebook message to Russel Blewett current candidate for Hesperia City Council*
"Dear Mr. Blewett,
I met you last Wednesday at the rotary club meeting in Hesperia, CA, where you are running for the Hesperia City Council. You indicated at the meeting that you "will always be available to YOU regarding any city issues".
I would like to know your view and voting intentions regarding Proposition 19, currently on the ballot for November 2, 2010, as a potential person of major influence in my local area, and as a candidate for the office of Hesperia City Council member. This proposition, which currently has around 50% support in favor throughout the state, will directly affect all of your local constituents.
I will be asking this specific question to all local city officials in the High Desert area and be posting their responses to my blog (http://highdesertcalocalpoilitcs.blogspot.com/), available for any local residents who care about the future leadership of their community. I feel this proposition if passed, without a doubt, will change very many things within our state, as well as every community in California.
I consider myself to be a moderate conservative Republican, and intend to vote Yes on this proposition. My reasons are varied and I would be glad to discuss them with you. I would like to know the position and reasons behind their position, of all local/national elected officials, prior to me casting my vote on November 2, 2010.
I would like, in writing, your opinion regarding the local issues this proposition would create if passed, as well as your intended vote regarding this proposition. Specifically, your intentions for local implementation/ opposition, if passed?
Thank you in advance for your prompt response, so I can properly evaluate your responses with facts and determine your eligibility to represent myself and all of Hesperia in the City Council.
Sincerely,
Craig M Crawford Sr."
