Election Watch: Barbara Boxer’s Campaign Breaks the Law, Solicits Help From Los Angeles Area Students Via Teachers
California’s Flash Report recently obtained a letter proving that Barbara Boxer’s campaign has attempted to solicit Los Angeles public school government and social studies teachers to urge students to “volunteer” for the Barbara Boxer senatorial campaign.
Here is a copy of the letter sent by the Boxer campaign to Los Angeles school teachers:
The Boxer campaign letter clearly requests “students to take part in our campaign” and “earn extra credit” doing so. “Various projects” out of the Boxer Hollywood campaign office are mentioned for would-be student volunteers along with a suggestion to view this Obama video:
As Rhymes with Right notes, inclusion of the video strongly suggests a turn from mere “education” to indoctrination, as it’s clearly a booster piece for Boxer.
The president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association (HJTA) forwarded the Boxer “Dear Teachers” letter to and filed a complaint with the Los Angeles Unified School District and the Los Angeles Board of Education:
To the Los Angeles Unified School District and the Los Angeles County Board of Education: In abject ignorance of California state law, the political campaign of Senator Barbara Boxer has openly solicited teachers employed by LAUSD to urge their students to volunteer for her campaign. We trust that LAUSD will immediately inform all its personnel, credentialed or otherwise, that it would be a clear violation of law for teachers to recruit their students on school property during school hours to volunteer for a specific political campaign.
The HJTA president cites California Education Code, section 51520, which clearly states:
During school hours, and within one hour before the time of opening and within one hour after the time of closing of school, pupils of the public school shall not be solicited on school premises by teachers or others to subscribe or contribute to the funds of, to become members of, or to work for, any organization not directly under the control of the school authorities, unless the organization is a nonpartisan, charitable organization organized for charitable purposes by an act of Congress or under the laws of the state, the purpose of the solicitation is nonpartisan and charitable, and the solicitation has been approved by the county board of education or by the governing board of the school district in which the school is located.
None of this stuff about Boxer is getting out to the MSM. Nobody sees or hears any of it.
Nobody here but us nobodies.
Does anyone really need to ask the last question regarding the media? I don’t know why a complaint hasn’t been filed with the federal election commission and/or the Sec of States office. Not that it would do any good. At best, an investigation will get wrapped up sometime in late 2011 with a finding of impropriety and a stern warning to the Boxer campaign.
HEY FOX!!!!, HANNITY, RUSH!!BECK!!! WHERE ARE YOU FOLKS!!>>????? LETS HEAR ABOUT THIS ON TV , RADIO ETC!!! WHERE IS EVERYONE?? THAT HAS THE GUTS TO TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF??????
Totally disgusting.
I hope the Fiorina campaign is woeking on a last-minute campaign ad for this.
Maybe this will be the issue that edges Senator Ma’m out. It is a gift.
It is also being ignored by whatever law enforcement agencies would have jurisdiction (State and especially Obama’s Injustice Department). Or maybe they just do a Homer Simpson – “heh, what are you going to do?”
California is a very Democratic state, but I took great pleasure in voting against Sen. Boxer, anyway.
So where is the criminal prosecution????
WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON???
She should be fined and jailed!!!
Where is enforcement???
I’m a student. I did (and am doing) my part, as are countless other students. We are working hard to see to it that Barbara Boxer is re-elected to a fourth term as U.S. Senator. We LOVE Barbara Boxer in California! She will win and Carly and her ugly stepsister Meg will lose.
Don’t you care that yet again Boxer and the democratic party have broken yet another law? Don’t you care they are stepping all over our Constitution? You had better wake up kids. If we don’t stop the democratic-communist party, they will succeed in taking away all of our freedoms.
Kids, wake up. Don’t listen to their propaganda. READ THE CONSTITUTION-IT IS THE LAW OF OUR LAND.
Actually, Praetorian, I hope that you are right. You and the other creeps in California DESERVE Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer, and your state DESERVES to be a bankrupt cesspool like Mexico.
California has the highest concentrations of creeps, losers, misfits, fools, psychos, imbeciles, decadent dilettantes, slimy low-lifes and perverts (like you) not just in this country, but on this entire planet, also. It would be a blessing to this country if the San Andreas Fault would open up and if the entire state of California would slide into the Pacific Ocean with its entire population, to disappear forever.
Californians don’t serve any purpose that the rest of us couldn’t do without. You’re just a burden on the rest of us, an infestation of cockroaches.
Oh, and one other followup to my previous comment. We didn’t NEED to be solicited. We did it because we want to see her re-elected.
Hey Pretorian, I hope NONE of my ill-gotten (by gov’t leeches) Tax dollars
went to your mis-Education, cuz they were clearly wasted. That woman has been a Marxist America-hater from day one. My family witnessed it ourselves: back when she was Marin Co supvr, she and some greenie friends barged onto my grandfather’s private property in Larkspur amd demanded to be allowed to “go hiking”. He told them no, it was Private Property, whereupon she said “you have more than you need”. Sounds just like Obama w/ Joe the plumber, huh?
Best was, when she finally cleared out, (they had driven their car through his front gate that happened to be open), my Grandpa closed the electric gate
right when her car was going thru and stuck her there for couple minutes. Hilarious! Even more hilarious, Boxer then went and got a referendum on Marin Co. ballot to buy the property. People in Marin told her to pound sand!!!!
I don’t know if you heard the news, but it turns out that demons, i.e. liberal demoncrats have a recessive gene that causes them to lean to the mentally ill state of wrong decisions. Yes, it was confirmed by scientists who released the study yesterday. So, that would explain your vote for the criminally insane Boxer. Do you have insurance? Does it cover the cost of psychiatric evaluation and treatment? Or, you could look up Exorcists in the yellow pages. Either way, you and your ilk are the cancer that is eating up America. Tell you what, before you vote, go find a Veteran or a Soldier and spit in their face because that is exactly what you do when you vote for criminals like Boxer. Your hate for America is so obvious!
Are you saying, then, that you don’t care if the law was broken by the Boxer campaign? Why do I highly doubt that you would have the same opinion if Fiorina’s campaign had solicited school children?
How is this news, Tim? Boxer breaking the law happens all the time.
It isn’t news, Rachel. But the least we can do, in new media, is point out, and try to stop, the malfeasance that surrounds us here in CA.
What did you expect? The Teacher’s Union owes her a big one, especially with the most recent government payoff to the Teacher’s Union just a few weeks ago. The only question is, did any other unions, like SEIU, help get out the vote in this manner too?
Yet another reason to abolish public schools for good.
This will not make a difference unfortunately. Demographics (growth of the Hispanic population) and the flight of Republicans from repressive taxation and regulation will guarantee that Boxer and Brown win on Tuesday.
The GOP is dead in California. It is now a one-party socialist state that will now spiral completely out of control with truly insane far-left taxation and legislation, accelerating its economic free-fall, fully expecting the other 49 states to bail it out.
They will not be bailed out and the ensuing collapse will be so severe that we will have to send troops to the border – the California border, not the Mexican one.
Don’t you mean 46 states to bail them out? After all New York, Illinois, and Michigan need bailing out also.
Praetorian – Your comment made me very sad. The dumbing down of the American Educational System is proven once again in your comments. I could be wrong though, maybe you are still in first grade. If so, there may be hope for you once you get into Junior High/High School.
Californians deserve Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer, and Washington deserves Patty Murray. They’re the ditziest and the sleaziest people on this planet.
GrandmaC – Shed no tears for commenter ‘Praetorian’ and their ilk.
For they’re ‘California college students’ (code for: one of the EASIEST higher learning schools to be accepted to this day and age) and ‘know better’. hahahaha
Praetorian, goo dluck with your Liberal Arts, Humanities-like ‘education’. You’ll go far.. in a California Government-funded career. hahaha
