Kudos to Ms. Romero for standing up and telling the truth. No doubt she is taking heat from the militant left who uses fear, intimidation and bullying to keep people from going to the other side. Yes, the Democratic Party has changed drastically from the days when my parents were loyal party members. Back then, the Dems stood for the working man and woman, civil rights and justice for all. Now, it’s about favoring one group over another based on race, promotion of transgender insanity and fiscal irresponsibility, leaving us as a society, dead broke!
It should be obvious to all, Trump and Doge is taking effect on the left as they are becoming more unhinged and desperate. In the weeks and months to come, we can expect an uptick in demonstrating, obstruction, resistance and interference of federal officials from executing their sworn duties.
How long will their insurrection last? Time will tell, but nothing else changes behavior like spending the night in the crowbar hotel! Clearly, the behavior of some liberals is heading to criminality and leading us to a society which we haven’t seen since the turbulent 60’s. Some locals will remember the last time liberals became this crazed, resulting in the Bank of America branch in Isla Vista being burned to the ground! So yes, the party of “peace, love and understanding,” is quite capable of violence and mayhem.
We as Republicans, must have ZERO tolerance for violence, intimidation, bullying and fear.
Great recap Christy. It takes a lot of wisdom and foresight to switch deep entrenched party lines. Like an “Awakening” has to happen. And indeed it did for Ms Romero. Welcome to the land of free speech, pro-family and common sense Ms. Romero. We welcome you with open arms.
Like many others here, I was a registered Democrat until 2010. When the Democrat party finally left me too. I am a strong supporter of quality public education. However in time that Democrat party affiliation required being in bed only with the teachers unions, if one were to call themselves a Democrat.
I could not handle the dissonance between my own quality public education efforts, and their oppressive and counter-productive solely teacher union protectionist agenda. We thus parted company, permanently. Seeds for the ultimate party switch were planted after the 2004 re-election of GW Bush. Who are these horrible GOP people I am now forced to live under for the next four years?
However, when I looked, I found I shared much in common with their traditional values, bedrock life goals, and distaste for the rapidly emerging social engineering going on at the time and taking over our public schools.
These conservatives in fact did love America and many wanted to be just left alone. To be a Democrat required trampling upon those fundamental values, and maligning them in the most vicious terms. The Bush/RINO Gulf War remained a sticking point, so I could not support a party switch at that time. I floundered, but seeds were sprouting.
Excellent, Christy. The local Democrats are on the run and carpetbagging as much as they can before DOGE descends on them. The thing I resent most is them taking up airspace instead of going gracefully away and doing some self examination. I thought Maoists loved self-criticism. Shows the Dems aren't even real Communists, just grifters.
Thanks so much for this excellent writeup, Christy! Sen. Romero's story should be told far and wide, especially among Democrats. One minor correction: The club that Sen. Romero spoke to on Feb. 15 was the Santa Barbara Conservative Republicans -- not the Santa Barbara Republican Club.
Taking this opportunity to also introduce a rising California GOP star Kevin Kiley, now serving in Congress. His newsletter is always inspiring to learn what can be done with the right voice in the right place, and now at the right time.
I recommend joining his mailing list, even though he is not "our" local representative. If only to demonstrate what we are not getting from our own local congressman Salud Carbajal.
Great article as usual Christie. I saw that Ms. Romero spoke out at the timbers on Saturday and wondered if there is a way that we can be notified when such events are taking place on a consistent basis rather than just catching wind of these events? Please continue to keep up the good work.
Join the local SB conservative group sponsoring these events to get email notification - but even the local Republican Party often has very good speakers too. https://sbconservative.org
Yes Brian we need to find a good way to communicate these events. I am on the Central Committee and maybe we can posting all events on that website so it is a central location. I will work on getting that to happen.
Good evening everyone, I will no longer be commenting, don’t get excited, on your daily sacrifices. I’m just going to make comments like the government is now being run. Chaotic with no rhyme or reason, hit and miss, kind of like Mr. Eringer, you get the picture. More than likely, I will probably just be notifying this publication of events and announcement they might’ve missed.
So let’s start with tired old grandpa’s new acquisition. He has his own private slave now, bought and paid for, as in NYC mayor Eric Adams. Congratulations to them both.
Tired old grandpa and his sidekick are both going against their own rules. They both want to get rid of DEI workers, but apparently the two people running the dog and pony show, are both DEI. Tired old grandpa keeps screaming a job should be earned on merit. What merit did he go through? He didn’t build that empire in NYC that was handed to him from his father. He’s never been a councilman, a mayor a governor or senator, nothing to earn him the merit of being president except for his money and lies, and a whole lot of gullible people.
As, for the hatchet man apparently he has a specific kind of autism known as Asperger’s syndrome, and if you look that up, you can see it. Both fit the DEI description perfectly. So they really need to fire themselves.
The last announcement is one that came from Kristi Noem of the HSS. “Tonight I am announcing a nationwide and international multi-million dollar ad campaign warning, illegal aliens to leave our country now or face, deportation”, etc. etc. etc. , does she think no one has heard about this, also, did she clear this expenditure with the hatchet man? She must not have gotten the memo about stopping waste, I mean, that’s his job.
One last thing for today, do tired old grandpa and Hatchetman realize this is affecting red states, maga’s, farmers, veterans, children, special needs children and adults, and the elderly among others, not just people they don’t like.
Her apparent endorsement of Steve Hilton as a possible next leader certainly has my vote! I'm getting behind Steve all the way in hopes that we can replace Crook Newsom with a solid, sensible pro!

Inspiring article, Christy, which brings to mind the party change of RFK. It does take a lot of guts
to make the move and I applaud Ms Romero for making it.

I read this "Coversion" Article titled "Democrat Speaker"
by Christy Lozano and I quote from same as follows>
"Gloria spoke about the importance of focusing on candidates'
character, policy, and principles, rather than subjective opinions
or characterization in the media."
May I recommend another Converted and Outspoken Women >>

I think hosting all events on our GOP central Committee website would be a good move. I will work on that:)

Thank you, Christie for getting back to me. If you’re able to do this, please let me know where I can sign up.🤗

Thanks for history and your pov. Thought provoking. I’m too often inclined to be more trusting and hence miss the leopard in the tree
Actually government control is what we are coming out from under not heading into.
