ROBYN'S RECOMMENDATIONS
ABOUT THE RECOMMENDATIONS
Robyn consulted numerous sources/advisors in the process of making her recommendations. Some of the candidates on her recommendation list are excellent. Some, however, are just the best of the available options. Her recommendations do not imply support for every position, statement or behavior of a candidate.
PRESIDENT: Donald Trump
My Vote For Trump is a Vote To Block Hillary Clinton, and the harm that will be done by her Liberal Progressive Political Agenda, her Advisors and her Appointments. It goes without saying that both Presidential candidates are tremendously flawed. Donald Trump was not my choice of primary candidate. However, we only have two viable options.
Donald Trump has chosen an excellent conservative running mate in Governor Mike Pence and has some good advisors (Hillary has neither.). The next President may appoint up to 3 or 4 US Supreme court justices, as well as hundreds of other judicial and federal appointments that will impact the future of this nation for decades to come. Trump has listed 11 superb potential US Supreme Court nominees-Hillary's nominees will be liberal progressive. For more information on the extreme dangers of a Hillary Clinton presidency, check out these sources below.
10/3/16 - FRC Action Blog: A Hillary Clinton Presidency: The Radical Revolution, by Sarah Perry, Oct. 3, 2016
This is a well-researched public policy piece on what a Clinton Presidency would look like.
10-15-16 Mark Thiessen: Hillary Clinton is a threat to religious liberty
10/14/16 FOX News: "Newt Gingrich: Hillary's Dangerous Dream of Open Borders"
I agree with Franklin Graham who says: "There's no question, Trump and Clinton scandals might be news for the moment, but who they appoint to the Supreme Court will remake the fabric of our society for our children and our grandchildren, for generations to come."
ROBYN'S COMMENTS ON U.S. SENATE RACE: No Recommendation; just some thoughts:
Both US Senate candidates are Progressive Democrats (very liberal). Neither candidate is pro-life or pro-family. As CA Secretary of State, Kamala Harris failed to uphold the will of more than 8 million California voters when she and Gov. Brown refused to defend Proposition 8 (marriage between a man and a woman). Loretta Sanchez is slightly more conservative and possibly easier to unseat in a future election.
PROPOSITION INFO
Recommendations for California's 17 Statewide Propositions from Robyn and numerous conservative sources.
SUMMARY - ROBYN'S PROPOSITION RECOMMENDATIONS:
YES on only 3 Propositions: Prop 53; Prop 54; Proposition 66
NO on all the rest: 51; 52; 55; 56; 57; 58; 59; 60; 61; 62; 63; 64; 65; and 67
(There is a split among conservatives on Proposition 52 – both sides make good points.)
JUDICIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Robyn's Judge Page contains direct recommendations for counties which will have Contested Superior Court Races on the November 8, 2016 ballot. (Alameda, Kern, LA, Marin, San Bernardino, and San Francisco) You'll also find ideas for researching judicial races.

PARTY PLATORMS
Comparison of the 2016 Democrat and Republican Platforms
"While platforms are non-binding documents, research shows they matter—significantly. One study found that in the past 30 years, Republicans in Congress voted for positions supported by their party platform 89 percent of the time, while Democrats did so at a rate of 74 percent. If Republicans and Democrats in Congress make good on their party platforms' promises, people of faith heading to the polls in November can be confident that Republicans will defend life, marriage, and religious liberty, while Democrats will continue to put those same values under direct assault.
The difference between the two parties' platforms could not be clearer on values issues."
This Family Research Council piece shows the stark difference in the two parties' platforms on Marriage, Abortion, Religious Freedom, Education, Military, and more.

What is Crony Capitalism?
This election season there's a lot of talk about corruption, about politicians being "bought and sold", and about "crony capitalism". What do those terms mean? Why should we care?
