California GOP Legislators Who Voted To Destroy California Political Parties and Support Open Primary Elections – The List

Flap’s friend and fellow blogger Jon Fleishman has the list of California Republican members of the Legislature who voted to destroy the California Republican and Democratic Parties and support an “OPEN PRIMARY” election system.

The LIST:

SENATE

  • Roy Ashburn
  • Dave Cogdill
  • Dave Cox
  • Jeff Denham
  • Abel Maldonado

ASSEMBLY

  • Bill Berryhill
  • Tom Berryhill
  • Sam Blakeslee
  • Mike Duvall
  • Paul Cook
  • Connie Conway
  • Bill Emmerson
  • Nathan Fletcher
  • Jean Fuller
  • Danny Gilmore
  • Brian Nestande
  • Jim Nielson
  • Cameron Smyth
  • Mike Villines

Jon notes that since this support of “OPEN PRIMARY” elections was a condition of Abel Maldonado’s vote for the California State Budget with its Big – 5 / Big Tax Increase provisions, it can easily be said all of the above legislators are enablers of California tax increases.

Remember these names well as the California Republican Party meets this weekend in Sacramento.

And, the funny thing is that the Democrats, particularly the Congressional Democrats will now gear up to defeat this measure in June 2010 – which they will. There will be bipartisan disdain for this open primary system.
