As far as I can tell, there are three Republicans running in the California primary seeking the opportunity to run against Senator Barbara Boxer who is up for reelection in 2010. As I’ve said many times, I’m an issues oriented voter. From the websites of the three Republican candidates, here are the issues as presented by each of the three candidates’ own website. For Tom Campbell, issues two through seven were suppose to provide a link for more information but I could not transfer the link while putting the material into my format. All websites may be reached by googling the name of the candidate, Senate, and California. All information is as provided on the respective websites except for putting the material into my format. The three candidates on the issues:
Carly Fiorina:

Tom Campbell:
“The federal government is spending too much, recklessly too much. The size of the deficit has tripled in one year. The national debt now totals $40,000 for every man, woman, and child in our county. I have a proven record of curbing federal spending. Senator Barbara Boxer has one of the worst records as a big spender in Washington. We need to replace big spenders with frugal ones; I was rated the single most frugal member of the 102nd and 106th Congress. My entire career has focused on economic issues and fiscal responsibility. That has now become the issue of our time. To prevent runaway inflation, which will erode our retirements, and huge debts owed to China and other foreign countries, which our children would have to pay off, we have to stop the system of spending more than we have. I will. She won’t.—Tom Campbell
1) The Budget Plan
The White House has just announced the new Fiscal Year 2011, with a projected deficit of 1.27 trillion dollars. That size of deficit is unconscionable. I call for an alternative approach. We can stop the debt from growing by lowering the federal budget deficit to zero. We’ve done it before. As President Reagan said in a related context, ‘If not us, who? If not now, when?’
2) Tom Campbell vs. Barbara Boxer on Spending
For two years, Congressman Tom Campbell voted for the least net spending by any member of the House. In contrast, for the year 1994 only one Senator received a worse spending score than Barbara Boxer.
3) The Economy
In the last year and a half, the federal reserve has printed more money than at any comparable time period in our entire history. See the consequences of this inflationary spending.
4) Health Care
First, do no harm. Don’t destroy the system of private health care and health insurance in our country. Don’t create a government monopoly.
5) Immigration
Illegal immigration is a grave problem for our state. It costs us a fortune, and it facilitates smuggling illegal substances, such as drugs and guns, into our state and country.
6) Water
It is imperative for all aspects of California’s growth: agricultural, industrial, commercial, and the healthy rearing of our children. However, California’s water supplies are threatened by our natural drought cycles and increased development in neighboring states.
7) National Security
Tom will not shrink to authorize the President to use force when America’s interests are directly at stake. And he will not hide behind Presidential unilateral power when it is the duty of the Congress: House and Senate, to vote yes or no on going to war.
8) Environment
Let us begin with the question of global warming. Recent evidence has seriously undermined the UN IPCC conclusions. There has been fraudulent data, attempts at intimidation, and outright misrepresentation. Decisions of this magnitude should be based on solid scientific fact. It appears that, at least in part, the UN IPCC’s conclusions were not.”

The following is from the family values (the MURDER OF unborn babies) link which is my most important issue:
“Chuck DeVore has a solid record on sustaining traditional values
Regarding family values, the first rule of government should be to ‘do no harm.’ Unfortunately, liberal activist lawmakers, such as Barbara Boxer, as well as liberal judges, are constantly trying to remake society in their vision by using the power of government. If elected U.S. Senator I know my biggest impact on values will be in the votes I make to confirm federal judges. In a prospective judge, I’ll look for those who understand that the role of government is to secure our ‘unalienable’ rights as set forth in the preamble of the Declaration of Independence and that the Judicial Branch’s role is not to legislate from the bench.
I’m proud to have been one of 18 lawmakers who received a perfect pro-family score from the Capitol Resource Family Impact for voting in 2007-08. Capitol Resource Family Impact runs California’s only pro-family state lawmaker ranking. The full score card may be viewed here.”
