California has a budget, Arnold expands.

February 19th, 2009

pregnantbbc_228x316 I realized this morning that I have a new child to raise.  It’s name is ‘California Taxes’.

As reported by CNBC, the Governor signed a new budget that raises taxes.  Shame on you Governor.  Governor since you have been in office, there were many opportunities to stop spending and save the people of California from having to pay higher taxes.

Governor, your action to sign a bill to raise taxes in this economic environment, is appalling to not only the people of California, but to every American that believes that government is not the answer, but the problem.

san-diego-tribune Chris Reed, for the San Diego Union Tribune shows passion.

Governor, you used to have the same passion.  It was that passion for California that I voted for you.

With your signing of this new budget, I believe you have created a California that will be too expensive.  You lost your passion for California, and replaced it with a policy that will impregnate taxes on all of us.

Governor, we did not want this baby, we can not afford this baby, and there is no one who can take care of this baby.  Your new budget has created an illegitimate crisis that most Californians can not bring into their homes and raise as their own.  We can not adopt, foster, and even have this child over for dinner.  We cannot have him over for birthday parties, play with him at the park, or wave good morning to him at school.  Furthermore, we can not talk with him, listen to him, or even bear to look at his face.  Don’t mistake me, we do not hate him  for he did nothing wrong.  He was born from an irresponsible parent, who chose to the wrong thing by having an affair with bigger government.

However, as I would with any unwanted child that comes into this world,  I will help to raise him and feed him from human and moral decency, and in this case the law.

Your choice to agree to higher taxes in economic turmoil is irresponsible and disappointing.  Shame on you.

More Cutbacks in Sacramento Media

February 18th, 2009

los-angeles-dailyAs I was doing some research for Sacramento Media Unlimited, I discovered an article on how our economy has effected the news media in Northern California and Sacramento.

Steven Maviglio from The California Majority Report, stated more cutbacks are occurring in Sacramento Media. The article reports that the Sacramento press corps is getting smaller and that the LA Daily News is shutting down its Sacramento bureau.

Alvie Lindsa (editor) and Harrison Sheppard (writer) for the Sacramento bureau will be resigned to a new area.

As I sympathize with Alvie and Harrison, I must admit this story motivated me to continue to build and create this new site.

Sacramento Media Unlimited, (SMU) I realize, has an even more important role in the valley than I first envisioned.  Wow!

Please come back soon, as Sacramento Media Unlimited is definitely here to stay.

Obama Time

November 5th, 2008

Congratulations to our President-elect, Barack Obama!

Whether you voted for him or not, one thing can be said… he ran a fantastic and successful campaign.  He demonstrated to people, that even though he might not have a lot of “Washington Experience,”  he can make it up with his management skills.  He was prepared on every level to succeed.  Anything that the Republican party, media, or independents threw at him, he was prepared with a statement or plan.

As you probably already know, the stock market sank today because of the uncertainty of the new Democratic President and his economic policy.

(It must be noted, that a Democrat being elected usually causes the stock market to fall, but today was a bit different. Let me explain)

It was different, because our economy is already in an unstable position.  One would think, that by electing a new charismatic President who claimed to run on change and where the popular and delegate vote was high, the stock market might have a positive outlook of the future.  Not so…as far as today is concerned.

As our economy seems a bit uncertain, I would like to share my thoughts on the future of commerce on the Internet. (eCommerce)

I believe the Internet, and more specifically, eCommerce, will be a major factor in solving our economic woes.  I feel and know, without a doubt, that those organizations that advertise and invest in Internet marketing will be more successful than those who do not. And those organizations with websites that are well built and maintained will have even more success than those who do nothing with their websites.

Now is the time to prepare your website.  Right now!

It makes sense.  Advertising will bring people to your business better than just hope and luck, or even word of mouth.  Invest in some pay-per-click advertising, or localized search engine placement, and test the waters of eCommerce.  You will most likely  be pleasantly surprised.

Look at your website today.

Does it need to be updated?  Is the site untouched or older than three years?  Does it need an overhaul or a just a quick nip and tuck?

Call me, and lets get prepared to succeed!
