(JHR) Anger, nausea, disbelief....these were just some of the experiences expressed by San Diego County pro-life activists during the week leading up to the June 6, 2006 primary after hearing paid radio advertisments by the National Right to Life Political Action Committee. What had these long term pro-lifers so upset? Matthew Hoy, a metro page designer for the San Diego Union Tribune best sums up on his blog, Hoystory ( www.hoystory.com), what had so outraged the pro-lifers: "I was surprised to hear an ad on the radio by the National Right to Life PAC endorsing Brian Bilbray in the 50th District race. Bilbray does oppose partial-birth abortion and is in favor of parental notification (not permission) laws, but other than that, he’s pro-choice. Bilbray won’t be swing vote on any legislation on abortion restrictions in the House, so it’s a wonder why the National Right to Life PAC would waste their money on this race." "Welcome To The Dark World Of San Diego County Politics: What you are about to learn will make you wonder if any politician really is who they say they are......." Why would the National Right to Life PAC endorse a long term supporter of abortion like Brian Bilbray? In fact, the National Right to Life PAC is the political activist face of the National Right To Life Committee ( www.nrlc.org), and according to a Dec. 1998 edition of San Diego News Notes, the area's leading pro-life Catholic publication, the NRLC published Bilbray's voting recording on abortion, causing the newspaper to describe Bilbray as one of the most aggressive abortion supporters in Congress: "KILL THOSE LITTLE FOREIGN BABIES could be the motto of local Congressman Brian Bilbray, if his voting record published on October 12 by National Right to Life is an indication. Bilbray-- a self-defined practicing Catholic who represents coastal San Diego from Imperial Beach to La Jolla and who squeaked a 49 to 43 percent win over lesbian Christine Kehoe in November-- voted pro-abortion five out of five votes in the category "Foreign Aid for Abortion" in 1997-98. Even Jennifer Dunn (R-Washington), the moderate whom Bilbray supported in her failed quest for Richard Armey's majority leader post, voted only two out of five times to export abortion overseas." "Mr. Pro-Life" Joel Anderson and "Mr. Kill Those Foreign Babies" Brian Bilbray: A Political Marriage Made In Campaign Purgatory Joel Anderson has had the East San Diego County Catholic pro-life community convinced that he is their man, if elected, to fight for the unborn. He has them convinced.....despite the fact that Anderson worked on the 2004 San Diego City Council campaign of pro-abortion, pro-gay candidate Phil Thalheimer. In fact, Anderson and his company JCA COM, Inc. pocketed over $400,000 from Thalheimer for work on the pro-abortion supporter's campaign. Still, that wasn't enough to convince pro-lifers in the California 77th State Assembly District not to vote for Anderson, who now has secured the Republican primary victory from the June 6th election.

Even a photograph of a smirking Anderson and a stern looking Duane Roth posted on Anderson's campaign website wasn't enough to disuade those committed pro-lifers to divorce Anderson at the polls. Why would Anderson, who claims to be a 100% pro-life candidate, post a photograph on his campaign website with Duane Roth, who is the most significant San Diego promoter of embryonic stem cell research? In fact, Roth is so involved in the pro-abortion industry of embryonic stem cell research, that Governor Schwarzenegger issued this recent, April 6, 2006 press release on Roth:

GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER APPOINTS DUANE ROTH
TO THE INDEPENDENT CITIZENS’ OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE LOS ANGELES, CA – Yesterday Governor Schwarzenegger announced the appointment of Duane Roth to the Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee (ICOC) for the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. Duane Roth, of La Jolla, is the founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Alliance Pharmaceutical Corp. Since 2004, Roth has also served as the executive director of CONNECT, a non-profit organization supporting entrepreneurship and promising technology and life sciences businesses in the San Diego area. “I would like to thank Governor Schwarzenegger for conducting an extensive search and appointing an executive officer of a commercial life science entity to the Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee. Duane Roth will bring decades of valuable cross-sector experience within the biotech field to this board,” said Robert Klein, Chairman of the ICOC. “Duane’s leadership as an entrepreneur as well as an economic development proponent in the biotech industry will be a real asset for our effort. We look forward to his active participation and innovative insight.” It is a great honor and privilege to be named to the historic Independent Citizen’s Oversight Committee, and I look forward to working with my esteemed fellow members from all around the state of California. I thank Governor Schwarzenegger for his faith in my ability to ensure that the mission of Proposition 71 is implemented and that the will of 7,000,000 voters becomes reality,” said Roth. “In my many years of experience in the biotech field, I have seldom seen such an exciting and promising area of science as stem cell research, and I look forward to the challenges and the successes we encounter as we push this field forward together, here in the great state of California.” Prior to founding Alliance, Mr. Roth held senior management positions at American Home Products (now Wyeth) and Johnson & Johnson operating companies. He has served as a member of the Board of Directors and executive committees of the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), the California Healthcare Institute (CHI), and BIOCOM. The Anderson-Roth connection is best proven by analyzing a June 7, 2006 press release issued by the San Diego Lincoln Club ( http://www.sdlincolnclub.org/), a group for which Duane Roth is a board member: Results Show an Outstanding Performance by Republicans
Many Lincoln Club members victorious on Election Day
Lincoln Club members, Republicans, the business community, and San Diegans have a lot to be thankful for! Congressman Brian Bilbray (Lincoln Club member) defeated liberal, leftist Francine Busby in what was the pivotal House race of the year. Lincoln Club members Joel Anderson and Martin Garrick will be the newest Assemblymen in San Diego. Lincoln Club member and District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis won re-election unopposed.
Lincoln Club member & Sheriff Bill Kolender easily secured his re-election. Lincoln Club members and County Supervisors Ron Roberts & Bill Horn won their re-elections. According to the California Secretary of State campaign disclosure filings, Anderson's campaign received $250 from Roth on March 24, 2006. Additionally, Anderson received $1,000 from Steve Francis who serves on the Lincoln Club board with Roth. Both Roth and Francis also serve together on the board of the biotech advocacy group CONNECT (http://www.connect.org/about/board.htm), which is steamrolling the embryonic stem cell industry into San Diego (http://www.connect.org/about/index.htm).

Why would Eric Roach stop campaigning against Brian Bilbray, but donate a large sum of money to help Anderson? How far does this corruptive Bilbray-Anderson trail lead? What the James Hartline Report has uncovered will shock every pro-life activist in San Diego, perhaps America. Never again, will "family values" political organizations be looked at by the Christian Conservative movement in the same way. On the Joel Anderson campaign website is an endorsement list of some of San Diego's most prominent conservative groups. But one that stands out, which begins to connect the threads in the web of deceit that has been run on East San Diego County pro-lifers by the Anderson-Bilbray conspiracy is the California Pro-Life Council. Joel Anderson For State Assembly Endorsements Joel has been endorsed by the following (partial list):
California Republican Assembly
California Pro-Life Council
San Diego Minutemen
TaxpayersAdvocate.org
The Alpine Sun
National Federation of Republican Assemblies
Here is what the California Pro-Life Council publishes on its website:
© CPLC, State Affiliate of National Right to Life Committee
California ProLife Council, 2306 J Street Ste 200, Sacramento, CA 95816
Phone: 1-800-924-2490 e-mail: info@californiaprolife.org 2005 Legislative Information2005 Legislative Information For information about federal legislation and congressional voting records, please visit National Right to Life Committee's Legislative Action Center at www.nrlc.org.) The California Pro-Life Council is the state affiliate for the National Right To Life Committee and its PAC that did the Bilbray radio endorsement! The corruption involving the California Pro-Life Council and Anderson gets much, much worse. On the organization's website they list the results of their pro-life questionnaire to all state candidates for the 2006 primary. Here is a partial list: The percentages refer to the number of questions the candidate answered in line with the pro-life positions of CPLC and its supporters. (partial list from website) Assembly District 72
Marty Simonoff (R) 100%
Mike Duvall (R) 100% Assembly District 73
Mimi Walters (R) 100% Assembly District 74
Scott Packard (R) 100%

Officially endorsed by CPLC! Assembly District 78
Shirley Horton (R) 80%
Geoff Gibson (L) 35% Notice in this list that Joel Anderson is the only candidate in bright, enlarged green letters in this "objective" survey. Anderson is also the only candidate that is officially endorsed by the group in the entire state on the list, even though the group is called the California Pro-Life Council. Even more corrosive, note that the group did not publish any of the other candidates from the 77th State Assembly race including Anderson pro-life opponent Debbie Beyer. In addition to the obvious propaganda of the California Pro-Life Council on behalf of Anderson, they have also been funding Anderson's campaign. On June 6, 2005, the group contributed $500 to Anderson's campaign coffers: Did Anderson's Campaign Staff Break The Law?
Two days prior to the well publicized May 27, 2006 Shake The Nation Conference held in San Diego, California ( http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/5/262006e.asp), James Hartline, director of the event, received a phone call message from someone representing the California Pro-Life Council asking if their information table had been reserved for the event. The recorded message included a telephone number of 660-560-3311. Hartline returned the telephone call, and a person named Travis Norton answered the call. Norton stated that he did not actually work for the California Pro-Life Council, but was just calling on their behalf to make sure that they had a table reserved. At that event, Debbie Beyer, Anderson's opponent in the 77th State Assembly race, was a scheduled speaker. Hartline stated that no one had reserved a table for the California Pro-Life Council and being two days before the event, it was too late to do so. At no time, did Travis Norton, in the two telephone conversations that he had with Hartline, identify himself with Anderson's campaign. Who is Travis Norton?

www.myspace.com/lifieldrep The Leadership Insitute that Travis Norton represents is the brainchild of its president Morton C. Blackwell (http://www.leadershipinstitute.org/about/aboutmain.cfm?section=morton). Blackwell has extensive ties to Steve Baldwin, best friend of Barry Jantz, the La Mesa City Councilman who was the political engine that has driven the Joel Anderson Campaign for the state legislature. In fact, during television interviews with Anderson during the June 6, 2006 election night coverage, Jantz could be seen standing right behind Anderson. Here is what Councilman Jantz says of Steve Baldwin, who gave money to the Anderson campaign, on his Flashreport blog: 6-4-2006 7:45 am Note to Steve Baldwin: Steve, you're my good friend, a former business partner, and my first campaign manager. You introduced me to my future (and still) wife. I'm glad you've had all those things right. Steve Baldwin Contribution To Joel Anderson Blackwell and Baldwin are not the only Anderson people that Travis Norton is involved with. Travis Norton is actually a paid employee of the Joel Anderson for Assembly campaign! According to the California Secretary of State campaign disclosure website, Norton has been paid thousands of dollars by Anderson for campaign consulting:

Should Travis Norton have identified himself as a paid employee of the Anderson campaign when he contacted James Hartline to misrepresent himself by stating that he was "calling on behalf of the California Pro-Life Council?" It seems that Anderson's campaign is already making itself ready for investigations in many ways. For example, is it proper that Anderson's campaign has poured over $50,000 in campaign contributions back into his family consulting business:

Why the California Pro-Life Council has allowed itself to be hijacked by Joel Anderson is a mystery that had better be solved soon before the reputation of more pro-life activism in California is tarnished. As to the National Right to Life Committee endorsing pro-abortion supporter Brian Bilbray, well that simply is not mendable in the eyes of any pro-life activists. And the Anderson-Bilbray political marriage?: it may be hard for them to get divorced...as professing Catholics that is simply not permissible for them under church teachings.
