Steve Young CA48

Today, the Orange County Register [Circ 302,110 Daily, 367,627 Sunday] published an Op-Ed piece I wrote entitled: ["Before the Belin Wall Fell."] My piece commemorates the 18th anniversary of the Berlin Wall's fall, and talks about what I learned when I toured East Berlin in 1970.

Also this afternoon, I am appearing on television -- Channel 50 -- on the "Inside OC" television program with Rick Rieff. Adam Probosky, the Republican pollster, and an officer of Republican Centeral Committee is coming to debate the issues surounding Mike Corona's indictment.
The broadcast times will be:
Sunday, November 11, at 11:30am,
Wednesday, November 14, 7:00pm and 11:30pm
Thursday, November 15, 8:30am.

Before the Berlin Wall Fell

see Americans with the same feelings. Now, seemingly every government act exasperates the people, and every refusal to act excites their contempt. Have you ever bit your tongue while standing in an airport security line, because you felt your patriotism demeaned, your dedication to America questioned, and your personal privacy trampled? Do you express your feelings, or do you stand mute lest the TSA screeners tap you for further search, or detention, Tasering, or worse, as happened to the woman who died in TSA custody after allegedly yelling at a baggage inspector?

Our leaders should instill courage – not trepidation, empower us to greatness – not tax us into submission, envision a bright future of freedom – rather than project the darkness of governmental tyranny. America is a nation of moderate, cautious people with a reform bent and a "can-do" spirit.

To break through the darkness, America must be a country of opportunity for all, responsibility from all, and a community of all. We all want a strong, free and secure America. In this there are no parties, for all Americans understand how important are our freedom and security.

Steve Young see's the opportunity we have as a nation, the same things I see and want for my grandchildren. Steve will make California and the nation a great representative, remember all votes cast by Congressional reps affect us all, not just their district, we need to work together to make the nation better, that includes helping to elect "leaders" across the nation.
