Republican and decline-to-state voters in Ventura County may be getting an interesting phone call tonight asking them if they'd like to listen in on a "tele-town hall" hosted by former Congressman Tom Campbell, a Republican candidate for governor.
It's a new development in political technology. For this event, voters in Ventura and Orange counties will be contacted about 7 p.m. with an automated phone call. They will be asked if they'd like to listen in as Campbell talks about his governing plans for the state (unlike any other candidate of either party to date, Campbell actually has detailed plans for what he'd do with the budget, to spur economic development and other issues). If they respond affirmatively, they will be patched into the telephonic town hall.
Campbell's campaign expects anywhere from 2,000 to 7,000 voters to listen in at any one time.
I interviewed Tom Campbell on my blog. He is running a very innovative campaign.

Gov. says costs of illegals is a myth. Seems I read where illegals cost the State over 75 billions which is more than the budget shortage. With Sanctuaries in ourmain cities and the thousands of births on Medicaid and welfare for thousands in additon to education an medical for thousands why not address the real cost of illeal immigraton instead of just sating the border "should" be closed. No serious action.Illegal cost is very serious. Just face it.
