In Congress he is known as “Sleepy Salud” For sleeping.

In DC he lives with two confirmed communists, Beto and Rothstien, and at home attacks ICE agents as we saw at the pot farm raids. More political theater.

He has a degree in ‘Government studies.’ He is the perfect Dem politician. Hold the line.

But It turns out Salud is one of the dems big fund raisers in CA, soaking the rich communities of Montecito and Hope Ranch for millions and then gives to other Dem campaigns.

What can we say about this man. A shill, a placeholder, a race based book marker who follows orders well, not much thinking, not much writing.. just parrot the line Adam Schiff sends over, keep your head down and vote Democrat only.

There are questions about his citizenship as have been raised in these pages and certainly Salud was not born here. No passport, no green card just walked in with illegal parents. A dreamer.

Who now dreams of open borders, Illegals voting, illegals increasing CA congressional districts and adding clout to the Dems in Congress and presidential elections. He’s a dreamer alright.

In our Campain Salud used Soros backed Media Matters to smear us as haters of various groups. Kind of hate it when foreigners come here to leach off our system, and then are then turned into little Democrat Stalinista’s with Soros backing. What a system.

But he serves a purpose however little gets done. The Democrats don’t really need to get anything done. It’s all taken care of… by enormous government fraud, endless government checks, endless wealthy donors to our local 3,000 NGO’s bringing in $7 billion a year in Santa Barbara county alone.. (I know it sound unbelievable but look it up)

So it’s just a perfect setup for the Dems. We have little crime, lots of feel good giving, nice weather so the wealthy will keep giving to maintain the status quo. And the not so rich younger people are well controlled with media bombardment from schools and newspapers, the Independent..

So our little bubble shall not be perturbed. Until the rich get a flat tax on their wealth, they will maintain this lifestyle.

Wishing Commander Bob Smith the very best and thanking him for his service, energy, courage and determination.

People should seriously consider getting on Salud's mailing list. He reveals who and what he is quite clearly. Although I have had contact with he and his office over the years, I have been repeatedly shocked by his more recent rhetoric and actions. Thank you for taking the time to write on this.

Bob, this was a thoughtful and substantive piece that asked the kind of questions voters should be asking regardless of party affiliation. Too often political discussions become centered on personality, slogans, or partisan talking points instead of measurable outcomes and accountability.

Your focus on caucus memberships versus actual legislative effectiveness was especially important. If a representative identifies as a “problem solver” or moderate consensus-builder, constituents have every right to examine whether that has translated into meaningful results for affordability, infrastructure, economic growth, education, public safety, energy reliability, and quality of life here on the Central Coast.

I also appreciate that you framed the discussion around performance metrics rather than rhetoric alone. After a decade in office, voters deserve a clear understanding of what has tangibly improved and what challenges remain unresolved.

Whether people agree or disagree with every point you made, this kind of detailed policy discussion is valuable and necessary for an informed electorate. Looking forward to reading Part 2 and hearing more about the solutions you believe could move the Central Coast forward.
