Vulnerable CA House teabaggers

So the Courage Campaign has identified 3 of the 17 teabaggers who need to go in November. These guys from CA are the following:

Gary Miller (31), Ed Royce (39) and Jeff Denham (10). Of course, if we throw in Issa (49), that would be prit near 1/4 of the 17 right here in our state. We can DO this!

To phone bank, canvass or place signs against him. The arsonist, auto thief, liar and government money taker/waster has got to go. Make it a mini vacation.

How can people in District 49 keep sending Issa back to Congress? What has he done FOR his district other than waste money on a pointless witch hunt?

seriously needs some cash donations...he's doing voter registration drives which should help, too. Last time around, Issa won with the smallest margin in his way-too-long stay in Congress.

Polls show Gov. Brown with a huge lead. If he gets over 50% in June, he is re-elected -- and won't be on the ballot in November. That would tend to depress turnout even further than it usually is in midterms. And when people don't vote, repukes win.

Valadeo is beatable. Amanda Renteria is getting some good backing and doing some major fundraising. Valadeo managed to piss off his Hispanic constituency by refusing to meet with them a few months ago. Renteria is a Blue Dog, unfortunately, but she is courting Hispanic organizations and Hispanic Mayors and other local movers and shakers. Last time Valadeo beat Hernandez by 17 percentage points but Hernandez didn't do the outreach he should have done and he had almost no money. Renteria is going to challenge him big time. And remember, there are more registered Democrats in Fresno County than there are Republicans. Believe it or not, this one's turnable.
