Star Parker v. Radical, Ethically Challenged Maxine Waters Acolyte in California 37
by Anita MonCriefThe November 2010 elections are shaping up to be memorable for residents of California as top Republicans target key districts. Minority leader John Boehner hopes to unseat Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House while Chuck Devore actively campaigns for Senator Barbara Boxer’s seat.
America’s eagerness to vote out corrupt politicians has opened the field for candidates who understand the issues and promise to resist the lure of the DC power structure.
In California’s 37th Congressional District race that candidate is Conservative leader Star Parker.
Parker “is the founder and president of CURE, the Center for Urban Renewal & Education, a 501(c)3 non-profit think tank that provides a national voice of reason on issues of race and poverty in the media, inner city neighborhoods, and public policy.”
The 37th congressional district includes most of Long Beach and Compton, as well as Carson, Signal Hill, and parts of other municipalities and is represented by the ethically challenged Congresswoman Laura Richardson.
Richardson, who owes her seat to ACORN friend Maxine Waters, made headlines for the foreclosure of her home and pending ethics investigations. One blogger notes:
Richardson, in the meantime, has worked a pretty good deal. She has been elected to a safe (lifetime tenure) African American seat in a Los Angeles area Congressional district, where she reaps campaign contributions from many special interests, including area defense contractors and unions. She walks away from this home and lets the lender, Washington Mutual, take the loss.
To pay for her campaign expenses and personal loan debt to HER OWN campaign she collects additional campaign contributions AFTER Washington Mutual forecloses on her equity strapped Sacramento property and takes the loss.
Her credit score takes a hit but she is an elected Member of Congress with a steady and sizable income. Richardson pays herself back from campaign contributions she accumulates over the course of her election year campaign.
Richardson’s personal troubles culminated with last October’s announcement that ethics investigations would move forward for Richardson and her political benefactor Maxine Waters.
RedCountry noted that other California Democrats began to smell blood in the water:
“According to the Los Angeles County Registrar’s office, Democrats Lee Davis, Peter Mathews and Terrance Ponchak have requested ‘Signature In-Lieu’, which allows candidates during the candidate filing period to collect signatures as a method to reducing the candidate’s filing fee.
Who would ever think that troubles for the Democrats could not get any worse in this 2010 election season?
The irony is for Democrats like Rep. Richardson who can’t stop the noise within their own tent leaves the door open for a possible Republican pickup in this Long Beach area congressional seat.
Anger is brewing throughout the country including here in Los Angeles County and we might see an unprecedented voter revolt come this November!“
Star Parker’s decision to run guarantees national attention on this so called “safe seat” which could lead to the type of national support that turned the Scott Brown race. Conversations with Parker over the weekend revealed a reluctant politician, someone who believed in public service and had spent most of her life dedicated to building a stronger America. Parker surveyed the political landscape and responded to America’s need for new leaders by deciding to run, like Allen West and Chuck Devore. In her syndicated column, Parker explores her reasons for running:
“As I wrote a little over a year ago: ‘I thought we were on the road to moving socialism out of poor black communities and replacing it with wealth producing American capitalism. But, incredibly, we are going in the opposite direction. Instead of poor America on socialism becoming more like rich America on capitalism, rich America on capitalism is becoming like poor America on socialism.’
…The government health care takeover which has just been forced on an unhappy America could not have happened without the cooperation of our large pharmaceutical firms and insurance companies. They should be ashamed of themselves…
I’m challenging a Black Caucus incumbent in a district that political pundits rate ’safe’ for Democrats.
But this year no Democrat representing low income Americans should feel safe peddling the same plantation policies that already have produced our broken schools, broken families, and broken spirits. Now they’re bringing these bankrupt ideas to the whole country.”
Richardson’s ethics issues, support for heath care and her statements regarding “Comrade” Fidel Castro should be fresh in voters minds come November but according to Open Secrets, Richardson still is heavily union backed. The graphic below illustrates that unions have historically poured money into her campaign, big spenders like SEIU may be expected to step up the donations in order to retain the seat.
Tellingly, Parker does not appear to be concerned with appeasing big labor and explained her fundraising strategy. Parker stated that she needs:
“500 people to each get 50 friends to give $50 dollars.”
Her website Star Parker For Congress is currently accepting those donations and Parker’s campaign is creating quite a stir on the right.
With November around the corner Democrats are gearing up to fight for their political lives as viable and courageous candidates attempt to reign in an out of control government.

I wish I could vote in these primaries to help swing the vote to unseat, Waters and Boxer. Even seeing Pelosi and Dodd gone would make the next 2 years somewhat bearable.
She sounds like she has the right idea. Get socialism out of the urban areas, and wealth producing capitalism back. I will say a prayer and keep an eye on this woman, she seems to be on the correct path.
Waters is ethnically challenged? She is mentally challenged!!!
Why stay in California and try to change people that don't want independence? Won't work.
hey if recent trends are any indication…dear leader stumping for her will be the kiss of death…one can only hope the trend continues…
So do I. I once read an interesting article (years ago – can't remember author or title). Author contended that since Congressmembers vote on nation wide issues their electorate should not be confined to their districts. Therefore every citizen should be allowed two votes for every congressional election: One for the representative in their district, and one they can cast in the race for in any other district in the country.
Even better would be a solid anti-gerymander law. My suggestion – No state may draft a congressional district such that the distance between the center of the district is greater than three times the distance between the center and any other point on the district boarder. Difficult to do and enforce, but better than current system.
Star Parker is fantastic! I'll move to CA just so I can vote for her.
Go Star Go!
Kick their asses Star. We need more like you to get up and speak out.
It will be interesting to see how this race pans out. I for one, hope very much that Ms. Jackson wins, because I am tired of the ProgLibs running my state into the ground.
California is so screwed up because of the liberals, it's hard to say if it ever will be fixed. Here are some stats from the LA Times:
1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
cont…….
5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth(and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens .
Good Luck Star! I'll visit your site and donate!
Waters not only can't think, she cannot even speak English. She is proof that Darwin had it backwards.
"big spenders like SEIU may be expected to step up the donations in order to retain the seat."
That's not the only thing they'll step up with. I hope Star Parker steps up with some extra security, because she'll need it with all those union thugs out there in LA LA land. Other than that, I just donated to her campaign and advise everyone here to do the same.
This is exciting, I had no idea Parker was from California. I have seen her a few times on a Fox panel,
& admired her cool calm demeanor, but I had no idea she was interested in holding political office.
Good Luck to her, she is another one to whom I'll donate, rather than sending money to the RNC, &
hope Steele might do the right thing with it. First Angela McGowan in Mississippi & now Star Parker in
California, wow I'm getting excited about November 2010.
Thank you to Star Parker. She would make an incredibly good representative, and the fact that the dems will have to use their funds to defend what they thought was a "safe seat" makes this candidacy a success from the outset.
Maybe "Star Struck" californians will actually wise up and "Vote for a Real Star."
Laura Richardson like Maxine Waters use the tactic of their hero Fidel Castro.
Divert the attention of the people from the misery you have delivered by invoking an "Us vs Them" mentality with the "Them" being a convenient external enemy.
The Republicans, racist conservatives, Bush, etc. are all handy as boogie men to distract the people.
Star Parker would be a welcomed addition to congress. I hope she destroys Maxine Waters the communist bootlicker.
No won't this be interesting. I would love to see this woman toe to toe with a lot the dim'o-cratic left.
It would probably only go a round or two, but the looks on their faces would be awe inspiring to all conservatives … put her up against idiot boy who thinks guam is going to tip over, or the judical genius that thinks the good and welfare clause (huh?) is a tyrants dream.
It just keeps getting better and better. $50 on the way Star
Your post gave me a laugh…thanks! I need any laugh I can get with all this insanity that's going on.
I live here and will contribute. Waters is pathetic. Pelosi – lite. With only half the brain!
Congresswoman Parker has a great ring to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are awesome, Ms. Parker!
I just sent her a small donation… encourage others to do the same. Time for us to put up or shut up, and open our wallets.
It's going to be a LOOONG seven months to wait to vote this November, but I for one can't wait to vote.
I am not familiar with Star Parker, but I'm sure she's better then Maxine "Shields" Waters! You've heard the saying, so goes California, so goes America. CA needs a true conservative representing the state.

Your numbers are from an e-mail that has been circulating since 2006. Snopes.com has researched them to find out if there is any truth to any of it. Not surprisingly, they are mostly made up:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/taxes….
You might want to check your facts before posting a bunch of statistics. These numbers are fishy at best.
For example: #4 – The California Department of health reports that of the TOTAL of 153,523 births in LA, Hispanics account for 96,288 (that's 62.7%) for the year 2001. So unless all Hispanics in LA are illegal, your supposed statistic is a lie. besides the whole basis for the statistic is 9 years old.
It's very important to distinguish between Illigal immigrants and legal immigrants. Also, it's ignorant to assume that all illegal immigrants are Mexican or Hispanic.
Don't use fishy numbers to make a point. That's something liberals would do.
Seriously, you need to check out e-mail spam before you post it on blogs.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/taxes….
If Pelosi lost, I do believe I would dance a jig. I'm not even sure what dancing a jig looks like, but I'd figure it out.
I like Starr Parker. Her column is in my local newspaper Killeen Daily Herald, from time to time and she's right on in her articles. I'll be donating very soon.
I wonder what her dancing a jig would look like. Would all that frozen and stretched skin handle it, or would chunks break loose and start flopping around?
Please Star when your finished cleaning up waters mess please move north and help the rest of us rid this state of self centered buffoons and the incessant lying and corruption that they live by.
And snopes is not reliable on political matters.
They are liberal activists. http://www.notoriouslyconservative.com/2009/02/sn...
I remember the first time I caught them at it. It was a story about the tsunami and how Christians weren't spared. But no where did they list a single Christian drowned. And they even had a story about the water stopping at the front door of a church.
So, while they said it was false, they confirmed it in what they did say. Why the spin? Liberal agenda.
I have been following her column for a while now. She is the face of a renewed and truly enlightened America.
I won't argue your numbers. But I will say that the illegal invasion is stressing the system and costing California a huge amount, that they cannot afford. http://content.healthaffairs.org/cgi/content/abst...
Yes, including the children.
So you think things have gotten BETTER in califonia? Or is trying to discredit a report more important?
I live here and its MUCH MUCH worse so that report would be just about RIGHT though written years before.
Yes?
And how many illegal aliens do you want to pay for in prison?
And it's the federal governments duty to keep them out, and our civilian resources free for our own people.
But when the immigration laws are not enforced we end up with problems like this: http://prisonmovement.wordpress.com/2010/01/30/ca...

Good luck Star!
She's aiming low. Most liberals aim a bit higher.
As of this moment, Star, you are $50.00 closer. Go for it.
Obviously you dont LIVE in southern cal unless your just fine with things as they are. If you DO live here YOU are part of the Problem. And to resort to usings snopes just show how far you will go to distort the truth.
snopes….LOL. You mean the site that corrects its facts ONLY AFTER the untruths are pointed out.
This is an internet hoax that has been exposed by snopes.com. If you won't believe them perhaps you will believe the LA Times:http://opinion.latimes.com/opinionla/2007/02/some...
You're hatred of Mexicans doesn't make these numbers true:
http://opinion.latimes.com/opinionla/2007/02/some...
Take her out Star, if lived there you would have my vote.
God Bless America
Illegal immigration is a problem and has been a problem for thirty years. But you don't fix it with internet lies. Those numbers were posed to rile up the racial hatred of the right wing and obviously it has worked. If you are going to throw numbers out there you better be able to back them up.
Most racists of the left love things as they are. One assemblyman stated defiantly that "we will keep having babies until we push you all out". America just imagine if this was a white person saying this. Wonder what snopes says about this?
These numbers have been debunked by the LA Times:
http://opinion.latimes.com/opinionla/2007/02/some...
I know they claim it's a hoax, but go to the example I used and tell me what Christians they name to have drowned?
Then I'll take back my own personal conclusions.
I didn't.
And you can't come up with the correct statistics to prove anything, so why are you here pretending to know anything?
Have you ever gone and studied the 'la raza' web site?
Understanding 'la raza' means 'the race' ought to be enough to show they're racist.
But anyhow, take it from their own website.
http://www.nclr.org/
Next go to the opponents and try to think of anything in the 'la raza' site that proves them wrong.

Aztlan is a dream, a promised land the latinos want back.
Think Elaine from Seinfeld…
It is difficult to produce reliable statistics about illegal immigrants. We can only guess at how many of them are in this country. But that doesn't mean we can't point out lies when others try and use fabricated numbers to advance a political agenda or foment hate.
She needs full support, she is a very good candidate.
Here Mr. Socialist are stats from 2009. Read for yourself if anything got better.

Also, the Sotomayer appointment is a LaRaza advocate.
[...] Anita Moncrief at Big Government: Star Parker’s decision to run guarantees national attention on this so called “safe seat” [...]
Wait for the Left to start calling Ms Parker an "Aunt Jemima" in 5… 4… 3…
I completely agree that Illegal immigration is a problem. The system is broke and we're all paying for it. My objective was not to discredit the report, that's already been done. I'm saying that using fudged numbers takes away from the point we're trying to make.
Good luck Star! Make it happen! I wish I still lived in the LBC so I could vote there. California desperately needs conservatives like you.
Agree completely. Its the only way to stop this madness. Sites like this are game changers.
I wish I lived in her district so I could vote for her! Good Luck, Star!
We need about 65 of them representing this state! Changing the gerrymandered districts would help a lot.
And the snopes link doesn't discredit the figures or state that the numbers are incorrect.
You're Exactly right! Waters looks like she is on her way to being a chimp!
These numbers make much more sense than your previous posts, but they hardly make your political point. For instance, out of an illegal immigrant population of 2.8 million, 19,000 of them are in prison…. or about .67 percent. That is less than the general U.S. population, as .74 percent of Americans are currently behind bars… as 2.3 million of us are in prison nationwide.
How can Laura Richardson run for office in California if she is no longer a property owner in California? Isn't that a requirement for running for public office? Whatever, I will give my support to Star Parker and hope she kicks some serious Democrat butt in the November elections!
Statistics are kept at a county level for those born there.
So, that's an excuse. If I cut the same slack to the internet rumors on snopes you would scream like a stuck pig.
Where did he say he hated mexicans?….Oh …that's right….you only hear what you want to hear….
Yes, but it was time to fill a slot with a latina woman.
We appointed Justice Thomas for his talents and skills, not his skin color.
That is still more than we should be forced to feed and clothe.
Do you want to pay for it? I don't.
Spin, snopes has a lot of spin once you know where and how to see it.
I have seen her on Sean Hannity quite a few times and she is the real deal. Go Star Go and I hope people in the failed state of California wake up to the reality of why their state is failing so badly.
If they can't prove you wrong, they attack you personally. It's the way the socialists work. http://www.cdph.ca.gov/data/statistics/Documents/...
The figures of illegal aliens dropping anchor babies is well hidden, but the chart shows that hispanics are well on their way to taking back Aztlan.
Don't suppose, since you agree and all, that could give a better link then?
When you get cornered you just start whining.
Out of all the conservatives I have seen Star's personal message is one that needs to be spread. I donated 50 dollars to her which say volumes about my commitment to her message.
What an insult to the mentally challenged.
We were not offered any source for the numbers in the original post… still you managed to swallow them whole. Now you are complaining when called out. Maybe you have some better numbers.
You people do realize that she is a community organizer. Don't you? ACORN was/is a nonprofit. All I actually read in this article, is her bashing her opponents (though they are bashible) and that's not what I am looking for in a candidate. This really didn't say much about MS.Parker. VET! VET! her, VET her organization, Vet her credentials VET VET VET. Until I know, I am not going to just vote for anyone. Because The dems. are going to be infiltrating the GOP and Tea Party with new faces, that no one knows. Just because someone says a person is a good candidate doesn't mean they are. We need people that know how to run business and farmers, just regular folks that know how to take care of business and care about America and Americans, not just their own race or their own agenda.
not even I linked to a statistical page from the county of Los Angeles, and half of all babies are born to hispanic parents.
sounds like they are well on the way to Aztlan. That's not whining, it's facing facts from the la raza web page.
And you still have not backed up a lot of your claims other than repeating people who may or not be honest.
On town hall,http://www.townhall.com she has been writing for years.
Aren't you familiar with conservatives at all?
She has been vetting herself openly and publicly for years.
Richardson is probably saying … "Now how do I pull the race card?"
You don't think well enough to spot holes in the stories on snopes, D-rat is.
What flavor coolaid do you prefer?
I gave $25 bucks when I heard Star was running. Everyone should too!
You wouldn't recognize a fact if it hit you between the eyes. You've been lying for so long now it's a habit… a very bad habit.
Yes, you don't like what I say. So, I notice you didn't point out an example or back it up with proof, not even a quote from huffpost!
Another liberal troll (a dime a dozen) attacking because he can't defend.
Took you a bit longer today to resort to name calling. But I knew it was just a matter of time.. You are sadly predictable.
And my name calling included a challenge, one you couldn't man up on.
You are not challenging… or interesting for that matter.
Yes, yes…. so like a spoiled child that lost an argument you blame everyone but yourself and stomp off.
I expected it, and you lived up to the standard for liberal trolls.
What bridge do you live under?
Wish you well Star. You will be fighting one of the most vile hateful figures in Madd Maxine Watters. Time to bring up Madd Maxines banking connections and how her and her hubby made millions while Watts burned. Time to show free enterprise to those who have been denied it by frauds like Madd Aunt Esther or Charlie RangHo.
I'm under the impression that your belly has to shake a little and your hips have to move in a very unsettling way. See also balmy Fwank.
She is simply….challenged.
Even though many of us are familiar with her from various columns and appearances, others outside of Cali may not have discovered this bright conservative Star. She could consider adding links to articles/videos outlining her stance on various policies/issues that potential donors are concerned with.
Her bio page is a good start.
The link you provided will help those not familiar with her and hopefully these posts will encourage others to dig a little and contribute to a great candidate.
For those not very trusting, hearing what she said before her political candidacy was announced may be better than a web page for her campaign.
She is great on so many issues, and spoke out fearlessly regardless of who she was offending! That's the Star we need to support and get elected!
But feel free to post links, the more people explain why they support her, the better her chances are.
should have qualified my statement with – No offense to the mentally challenged…my bad…
OK she is just plain WACKO!!!!
I used to listen to her for a short time when she had a radio show on ksfo radio, i have also caught her on fox on occasion, and have read her Column on occasion, and she is not a "community organizer" in the leftist sense (that is agitator for handouts) she actually has some accomplishment in her life, such as getting off of welfare. and is a spokesperson for self reliance, showing the path toward getting off the public teat.
the fact is that she has prov-en to be an articulate black women who has the courage to express conservatism at a time when liberals even stoup to physical treats if a minority steps off the plantation. only ones that should fear her candidacy are the progressive democrats, once again the light is illuminating there racial hypocrisy.
I don't care if they're green with pink polka-dots as long as their ideology doesn't rule and they uphold the Constitution. We all know whoever he picks for the Supreme Court will only benefit his agenda in the long run. I also feel these people should not be appointed for life. Thats ridiculous. Most of them retire with Alzheimers wearing depends diapers. How can they possible uphold the law or make judgements if they can't find the bathroom?
