I did notice that the names of some members of the CPCA Gun control committee were missing, but.... On the lighter side, MANY police chiefs are getting A LOT OF HEAT about this. Finding people who are willing to admit that they actually signed on to this position paper is getting difficult. NRA Sacramento might be able to provide more up to date info on this. **** Conference [ 0] - Local Messages From: JERRY EBERT Number: 1785 To: DAN FEELY Date: 03/09/95 11:20p Subj: How Did Your Chief Vote? Refer: 40647 Read: NO Private: Yes This message was from TJ JOHNSTON to ALL, originally in conference PAULREVERE and was forwarded to you by JERRY EBERT. ------------------------- State Police Chiefs Back Stiffer Gun Regulations: The California Police Chiefs Association is lobbying hard to make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to obtain firearms. They were the group responsible for the passage of the Pasadena ordinance to register the sale of ammunition. Taking from their lead, other cities in California are planning to adopt similar ordinances in the near future. Rather than waiting to fight the ordinance in your city, it is important that we begin our fight at the root of the problem: police officials who spend the resources of their city to foster a political agenda. Here are the police chiefs that must be "targeted for removal." Most chiefs are appointed by their city council so it makes it difficult to get them replaced directly. It is necessary to first elect a proper citizen-controlled council. And then, with a pro-liberty city council, we can have the council restrict the chief of police to ENFORCING THE LAWS, and not allow him to use his position to endorse a political agenda. Here in California, these are the cities where we must work to remove/replace the listed Chief of Police: Arroyo Grande: Rick Terborch Buena Park: Rich Tefank Fremont: Craig Steckler Gardena: Richard Propster (3rd Vice President) Glendale: Jim Anthony (1st Vice President) Huntington Beach: Ron Lowenberg (2nd Vice President) Los Gatos: Larry Todd (President of Chief's Association) Manhatten Beach: Ted Mertens Monterey: Floyd Sanderson Newport Beach: Bob McDonell Oakland: Joe Samuels Pismo Beach: Brook McMahon Pleasant Hill: James Nunes Pomona: Lloyd Wood Redding: Bob Blankenship Roseville: Tom Simms San Jose: Louis Cobarruviaz San Luis Obispo: James Gardiner Santa Barbara: Rick Breza Santa Rosa: Sal Rosano Tiburon: Peter Herley Tulare: Roger Hill Yuba City: Roy Harmon If you live in any of these cities, please contact your city council members immediately. Point out that your police chief is working to destroy your freedoms instead of protecting your community. Lobby the council to reign in the rogue official. Tell them we ELECT our politicians and WE DON'T NEED POLITICAL POLICE! TJ * OLX 2.1 TD * I am in every fiber of my body a radiacal. T.
