Party Politics
In Bill Press’ column of June 3, Press questions the motives of the California Republican Party in seeking to halt the California Democratic Party’s involvement in the Mike Woo for mayor campaign. I want to make our motives clear: The California Republican Party is fighting to uphold the state Constitution and the will of the voters. We simply seek fairness under the law.
Through his actions and the actions of the California Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee, Press has shown his total contempt for the California Constitution and total contempt for the supporters of Proposition 49.
Press has taken liberal leave of his senses when dealing with state laws and when dealing with facts. For the record, Mr. Press, I was not chairman of the California Republican Party in 1984. I don’t know whose voice was echoing in your mind when you referred to the 1984 court case.
You have said this is an “unjust” law and it is permissible to break such laws. Well, 56% of Californians disagree with you--they wouldn’t have voted for it if they thought it was unjust.
