Announcing: Rick Williams For US Senate In California

Will you officially endorse the cannabis initiatives on the ballot in November and will you actively campaign for a yes vote simultaneously to your own campaign?
 
I support ending the federal drug war. The issue of drug legalization is for states and local communities to decide. I support "Regulate Marijuana Like Wine" in California. Dianne Feinstein, by the way, supports the federal drug war. She is pro Patriot Act; pro NDAA-- against civil liberties right down the line. Yet liberals support her. Go figure.

This is why we stand a chance in the General! (and not wishing ill on anyone, but Feinstein is getting long in the tooth, and she will have to retire at some point.)
 
Two other OUTSTANDING liberty candidates in California are running parallel campaigns with my Senate race. Christopher David for Congress in California 33rd District (Beverly Hills, Malibu, South Bay coastal); and Jenny Worman for Congress in California 28th District (Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale). Chris and Jenny are the real deal-- the three of us are running together; all operating out of the grassroots Ron Paul Headquarters office in Venice where Paul supporters are making phone calls and organizing Central Committee races for LAGOP seats every day. Southern California has become a major focal point for RP activism. Check out Chris and Jenny websites-- you'll see why I'm proud to be campaigning with them.
 
As a registered Republican (switched from Democrat last November) from Morgan Hill, Ca. You sir have my vote and my families vote. I think you will have a tough time getting past Feinstein, I should know, I sipped on her and the Democrat's koolaid for the past few years. With that said, I wouldn't be a Republican if it weren't for Ron Paul and I still have a strong disdain for most of the GOP. How do you intend on differentiating yourself from the neo-cons? Most people in our state will see the (R) behind your name and vote the other way because they will automatically associate you with the likes of Mitch Mcconell and Jim Boehner.
 
Good luck

Good luck Rick Williams. It's good to see Ron Paul followers running for office. This is what we need if we're ever going to take our country back.
 
The time is ripe for a Republican to take a Senate seat. The base in my area is becoming less favorable of democrat's and moving to the side of "I am going to pick the best candidate!" Having a Ron Paul Republican would be able to attract these dem's and independent voters as well. Excite Us!!
 
Best of luck in this campaign. You are to be commended for taking up the fight in what is a very difficult race.
 
I think there's a meme emerging with the phrase 'Ron Paul Republican' (RPR) --- next we'll hear others say "I'm a Ron Paul Democrat" (RPD) and "I'm a Ron Paul Independent" (RPI).
 
IMMIGRATION

The contentious issues involving legal and illegal immigration are actually quite simple to resolve if we look to rule of law as our guideline. We should protect our border; send home all immigrants who are illegally in this country; and welcome legal immigrants under programs which offer value to the American people as a whole. Once we create a renewed entrepreneurial spirit in this country by ending the Federal Reserve and utilizing sound money, a fresh America as the Great Shining City on the Hill will quickly emerge. Value–add immigrant investors and skilled workers will want to be part of it.

This presents a problem for me...

I spent three years living in the downtown area that could be considered San Jose's Lil Mexico and in this area is more "illegals" than legal U.S. Citizens. The government policies is what created the immigration problem; remember when we subsidize something we get more of it! Free Healthcare, Food Stamps, Education, and Healthcare is what driving people into our state, but it doesn't make all of them dead beats. There is power and support in the message of getting rid of the welfare policies, new immigration policy, no amnesty, but allow people who are here to continue to live their lives. If Republicans offer up a policy of removing all illegal immigrants it will move the support right into the hands of the democrats and condemn us to 6 more years of DF or BB.

From my point of view, coming off straight with the people on the financial crises from the welfare / warfare state and addressing the problems / solutions. Offering up no amnesty, but deporting violent offenders and allowing working families to live their lives without the fear of the ICE hauling them off everywhere they go. Perhaps, be bold and call out other politicians for using illegals as scape goats for a larger problem they created and call out the democrats for just trying to buy votes. Bring the troops home to secure our border and end the welfare programs to illegals, I don't see why we need to round all of them up..
 
Sorry, man, I dig most of your platform, but I just can't support or vote for someone who advocates such a tyrannical and draconian policy of deportation for immigrants. If you do this to win the primary and then ditch that platform ASAP, I'll consider it a wash.

If you ditch it now, PM me and we'll talk about what I can do to help you in your election efforts. I live in Riverside County.

To commenters who think my immigration policy is too harsh-- I understand your view. But I'm a lawyer, and I believe rule of law (not rule of man) is the single most significant aspect of a free society. When I say "rule of law" I mean principles that will apply with equal force to our highest elected officials and bankers; just as it does to "ordinary" citizens. I don't see how we can then turn around and say we won't apply rule of law to illegal immigrants. Rule of law means nothing if it doesn't apply to all. Guest workers-- for sure; legal immigration-- yes. But defacto amnesty for illegal immigrants? I simply can't support that concept. Over time, we need to move away from the illegal immigration culture that has gained so much prominence in the last few decades.
 
Both California senators Boxer and Finestein voted in the "30,000 drones" bill.

You can't move away from it until you understand what causes it. You have one law saying no to illegal immigration, but on the other hand you have other laws and incentives encouraging it. We can apply the rule of law to Social Security and just end it, but many of us champion the phasing out of social security while taking care of those who have become dependent. I understand these are U.S citizens, but if it is government incentives and laws that encouraged the problem why can't we end all of the incentives, remove violent criminals, secure our border, and let the market for labor level out. If there is no work, no handouts, and no ability to sustain themselves here they will return to Mexico and others will have no incentive to come across. We need to get our house in order, but the money saved from these support programs will save money and avoid having National Guard Units patrolling our streets and invading our property in the search for "illegals."
