Wanted?
Carole
Migden (D) Assemblymember from California's 3rd
Senate District
(San Francisco) (That explains it)
Is THIS the culprit that mocked Bikers in the
capitol? Is this the man who... wrecked
the buffet at the Harrow club this morning?
Learn more about her lack of ethics....See the article

member, provoking outrage."
Carole
Migden is a disrespectful smart@$$ because you guys
ALLOW her to be. Shame and humility works, tho, as
you'll read in a minute, she doesn't possess much
humility. She'd be just as rude and obnoxious if she
worked at Hot Dog on a Stick, and frankly, she
wouldn't need the goofy hat to fit right in there.
Society could be saved if they'd hire her.
Write letters to the newspaper in her district, and
put Carole Migden on notice. Call her office and let 'em
know of your displeasure.
Call the Senate President Pro Tem, Don Perata...
Complain about Migden's disrespectful and
child-like behavior to Senate President pro Tem Don
Perata.

Carol Migden represents the true epitome of what her
party has become. It's why I left her party a while
back..well, really, they left me. Pompous elitist
smart@$$es with no respect or even appreciation for
the sacrifices that OTHERS have made for their
freedom...for example, look at the license plate they
gave to our Vets...
They "say" they don't have the technology
for a plate that small...funny...they got it in every
lo-tech redneck state on the other side of the
country. LIARS. Many of you worked your asses off to
pay tribute to our Vets, and I appreciate your time in
making this plate even possible....I remember when
Trash walked into a Board Meeting in Sac with this
travesty roped around his neck. I rode with him to
dinner and to the capitol the next day....he wore the
plate around his neck the entire weekend...his bike,
plateless! Made it a little hard to ticket him for
parking outside the capitol when we parked in the
wrong slot. muhahaha. That American Biker video that
Gil sells shows a few of you, Tone Dog included,
getting tickets. I didn't want them filming me, but
you can hear my spur walkin' around.
They can give the environMental whack jobs LOVELY
license plates with pretty scenes of yosemite, and
whales, and little kid handprints...and they give our
Vets, the ones who bought and paid for our
liberties..a mundane plain white license plate. That's
unconscienable and disrespectful..and yet..we ALLOW
that to happen. They give elitist/socialist/commie
whiners plates like these, and spare no expense.....
When the Vet's motorcycle plate could and should
look at least something like this, and even this is
NOT for our Vets:
The Vet's car plate is almost as mundane and
disrespectful as the motorcycle version, sans the
fancy stripe...I'm sorry, but I feel it cheapens the
sacrifices of our Vets. They deserve much much better.
It should have waving flags and eagles... and a tiny
little silhouette depiction of Carole Migden hanging
in effigy.
Back to Migden.... If she were making motions as if
to say "you must wear your helmet"...you
gotta understand something.... there's a reason..you
see..it's HER FAULT that the Chairman of the Senate
Trans Committee became Lowenthal. When she pulled that
famous "Ghost Vote" trick in the Assembly,
the Dems had to punish her in some manner. When they
took away one of her committees, it caused a power
vacuum over in Senate Trans. So now you can blame it
on a person who cheats, lies and breaks the
rules....Hillary's America is coming to
fruition....and you thought the rest of the world
hated us before...wait til these jerk offs buy that
last ounce of power. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

'Ghost vote' spooks the Assembly Senator pushes button
of absent GOP member, provoking outrage.

Nobody was surprised that state Sen. Carole Migden
voted in favor of her own cosmetics bill. The problem
was that she did it in the wrong legislative house.
Toward the end of Wednesday's floor session, Migden, a
San Francisco Democrat, pushed the voting button of a
GOP assemblyman who was temporarily away from his
desk. Her action violated Assembly rules and drew an
angry response from Republicans. "That behavior
cannot be tolerated," said Assembly Republican
leader Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield. "It's
unheard of on this floor, it's against the rules, and
it cannot be tolerated." Migden, chairwoman of
the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, declined
to comment Thursday about her actions on the Assembly
floor the previous day. "There's no story
there," she said. Controversy erupted while
Migden was lobbying for her Senate Bill 484, which
would require manufacturers to inform the state about
cancer-causing chemicals in cosmetics. Assembly
Democratic and Republican leaders agree on the
following chain of events: Migden was visiting the
Assembly, seeking support for her bill, and she
inappropriately pushed the electronic button of GOP
Assemblyman Guy Houston. She later apologized for her
actions, leaders of both parties said. Assemblyman Bob
Huff, a Diamond Bar Republican who sits beside
Houston, R-Livermore, said the incident occurred while
votes were cast on SB 484 and the bill appeared to be
one shy of passage. As the tally neared a close,
threatening to kill her bill, Migden suddenly stepped
up to Houston's vacant desk and voted yes, Huff said.
Migden mentioned the name of Hector de la Torre,
D-South Gate, and she apparently assumed the seat
belonged to him, Huff said. After pushing Houston's
button, which would have been the 41st vote needed for
passage of SB 484, Migden called for the tally to end,
saying, "Set the roll," Huff said. "I
was shocked," Huff said. "I said, 'Wait you
can't do that - that's Guy Houston's seat.' "
Huff quickly erased Migden's vote before it became
official. SB 484 thus failed on the first Assembly
vote, but it passed by a bare-minimum 41 votes a short
time later despite heavy opposition from Republicans.
The bill now returns to the Senate for concurrence in
amendments. Assembly Rule 104 prohibits any legislator
from voting for any other Assembly member. The rule
often is bent by colleagues of the same party who are
desk mates and give each other permission to
"ghost vote" on a particular bill if one or
the other is indisposed. Migden's action was
different: She came into a house where she does not
serve and pushed the button of a legislator from an
opposing party - to benefit her own bill. Huff said
Migden carries a lot of weight in the Legislature
because her committee can sidetrack major bills.
"People give a lot of deference to Carole because
she chairs a very powerful committee," he said.
"Bills die in her committee, so the implied
threat is, if you don't get along with her, then
you're going to get bills tanked." Upon learning
of Migden's rules violation, McCarthy said he
complained to Assembly Speaker Fabian Núńez, who
quickly approached Migden, who then apologized to
Houston. Assembly Majority Leader Dario Frommer, D-Los
Angeles, characterized Migden's aborted vote as
inappropriate but added, "I believe it was a
mistake and hopefully it will not be repeated
again." McCarthy said he plans to speak again
with Núńez about the possibility of additional
actions to ensure enforcement of Assembly rules.
"You've got to talk about whether the senator can
be allowed on the floor again," he said.
"You cannot have this type of activity going
on."
