Did you receive a survey from Assemblyman Frank Bigelow/Now take our survey!

    A survey was received recently from Assemblyman Bigelow's office by  
most voters in Calaveras County.
We understand that a  mailed survey from Assemblyman Frank Bigelow;s office was received by

   Did you receive it and read it?  What did you think of the questions posed by Assemblyman Bigelow?

   We have received many calls and emails asking our opinion on the survey and why JOBS was not one of the survey possibilities.

   Many business owners are concerned and wonder what Assemblyman Bigelow's real priorities are, and now we are asking our readers what your priorities are.

  The Sierra Sentinel supported Frank Bigelow in the last election because we believed he was a more moderate choice- a choice for the working people. (and those who would like to be working)

    Now he is using the word MORALS? in a survey sent to voters as to what is most important to them.

   When we put the questions to Kirk Kimmelshue, Bigelow's Chief of Staff, he was not happy and would not reply by email. Instead, he left a phone message to call him.

   When we returned his call we asked him again if Assemblyman Bigelow plans to introduce legislation to control a woman's reproductive rights in the California Assembly.

   We received no answer!  Of course, the Democrats, fortunately, will never allow it to pass, but it's the idea that has many terrified.  Anyone who likes those types of  "morals" laws can always move to TEXAS!

   Everyone we have spoken to wants to know why JOBS wasn't even on the list of most important issues of the voters?  There was also NO "other" space to write in your choice. We never received an answer to that question.

   The anger in the voice on the other end of the phone and his words led us to believe that the question was asked of the voters possibly for that purpose.

   In fact, the anger in the voice of Kirk Kimmelshue tells us that we are not the choir Assemblyman Bigelow only speaks to now. So what happened?

   He also made it clear that if anyone wants Assemblyman Bigelow or his staff to ever help them, that they should only send positive reinforcement and never tell them when they disagree.

   Well, we know what happens when politicians start only preaching to the "choir", so we'll have to wait and see what happens.

   We welcome your comments after reading the "blue" flyer survey.
