Asm Muratsuchi: What Would Your Daughter Say?


Give him a chance? He [Muratsuchi] just voted to reduce funding to PV, Manhattan Beach, and Torrance schools. He also voted to allow boys to go into the girls bathroom with the new "transsexual bathroom bill". This is a dangerous far-left guy. We need mainstream folks to represent the South Bay. Additionally, Muratsuchi raised about $2.7M for his election. Of that, $2.5M came from Unions and other special interests. His opponent Huey was 80% private funded. This guy is as crony as they get. --- Anton Lazzaro

Assemblyman Muratsuchi:

You ran a heated slash-and-burn campaign against your opponent Craig Huey, claiming a number of allegations, many of which were unsubstantiated, and even libelous. Your opponent filed a lawsuit against you because of your distorted attacks.

Your campaign gave the impression that a man can stoop to any level just to win. Is that the message that you want to leave with your children, your grandchildren? What kind of an example are you setting for your daughter?

I heard you repeat during your 2012 campaign: "I am not an ideologue". Does that mean that you do not have any stance on issues? A local city leader shared with me his dismay about your lack of courage. On many bills in committee, you vote "abstain". Former Assemblywoman Betsy Butler voted "abstain" on SB 1530, which would have empowered school districts to remove abusive teachers from the classroom. She lost her reelection the next year.

What kind of example are you setting for your daughter, Assemblyman Muratsuchi?

When I heard your pronouncement "I am not an ideologue", I assumed that you would represent the best interests of your district and the state of California.

However, you supported Governor Jerry Brown's revised public school funding formulas, which will only diminish South Bay public school funding even more. I have spoken with Torrance residents, and they have complained about forty-six students assigned to one classroom, and that was in a middle school! A Palos Verdes parent complained (and justly!) that fourth graders will endure a "lecture" with thirty-six students per classroom. Residents in the South Bay and throughout the state of California did not support Prop 30 so that their children would continue to compete with more students for the attention of their harried and overworked teachers in their classrooms.

What kind of education are you leaving for your daughter. Assemblyman?

You just supported a bill which would permit students of decided genders (individuals who claim one gender as opposed to the one they were born with) to enter any bathroom that he or she (literally) chooses. Such divisions of identity should not be decided, let alone accommodated, at the state level. Would you be comfortable knowing that a child who was a boy, then claims to be a girl, was using the same bathroom as your daughter?

What kind of a public school experience are you giving your daughter?

In a recent press release, you championed green technology as the pathway for the future. Yet under the Obama Administration, nineteen green tech companies went bankrupt (including Solyndra), taking down in their closures billions of taxpayer dollars. Green technology currently does not bring in the green, but rather wastes it, and the state of California cannot afford to lose any more money.

What kind of future?
Get back to me
on that one. . .
What kind of future are you leaving for your daughter, Assemblyman?

By the end of this year, Governor Brown will have to enforce a federal judicial order to release ten thousand prisoners onto California streets because of prison overcrowding. Instead of grandstanding against Republicans and supported public sector unions, when will you place the public safety of all Californians, including the residents of the South Bay, ahead of political concerns?

What kind of communities are you hoping to leave to your daughter, to her children?

Assemblyman Muratsuchi, State Senator Ted Lieu rescinded his abortive attempt to triple California residents' car tax in part because his wife helped him realize the folly of such a move (plus a heated recall waiting in the wings, too). It's time to consider the impact of your decisions in Sacramento on your daughter. If you will not consider the best interests of me, of my generation, or anyone else, at least have enough self-respect to consider the impact of your poor legislative choices on your family and their posterity.

What kind of future are you leaving for your daughter, her children, and all the children in the South Bay?

With your attention to such limited matters as green technology, with a legacy of distorted attacks (in reality, lying) as a campaign strategy, as father who spent more time listening to his party rather than his conscience (if yours still means anything to you), or considerations of your daughter's better interests, I can only ask, Assemblyman Muratsuchi:

"What would your daughter say?"
