At our Santa Clarita rally held on Saturday, 27, 2010 State Senator George Runner made a quick appearance followed by an exit based on his desire to curtail Pastor Yancey's chastisement of illegal aliens and their supporters vociferous interruptions of Yancey's attempt to deliver the invocation.

For George Runner Yancey's "shut up" statement to the pro-illegal alien group
was far more than he could bear and said that if Yancey did that, that he, Runner would leave. Runner's ultimatum was delivered in the tone of one in control who is doing a servant a favor just by being there.

The arrogance of it was typical of Runner whom a few years back when asked what he could do to help us (the city) in the AV with the illegal immigration problem replied that there was nothing he could do. It was more than obvious that he would do nothing, not that he couldn't do anything.

Runner's demand for immediate censorship of Pastor Yancey's first amendment rights was answered with a courteous, "both you and the Pastor have first amendment rights, if you don't like what Yancey said you can address it at the microphone".

Runner stuck to the he would leave if Yancey wasn't restrained. My answer was "well then just leave".

I did not consult anyone on this. My answer was immediate and the anger that prompted me to issue the reply was based on the aversion that I hold towards elected officials who say they are on our side, do nothing, and want to impose their will on others by withholding something...in Runner's case his presence.

After having met many who have suffered through the murder of their loved ones by illegals, I found Runner's position unacceptable and he unworthy of
attendance.

I never thought much of him and I consider him to be useless.
However he may have begun his career it is clear that his politics are not the politics of the American people.

George Runner left because his bully tactics were met with an answer he never expected to hear.......one that more people should make to their elected "representatives".

If a politician is not solidly for the American people then he is not at all with us.

Some here may have seen it as a departure from some "protocol" where we must yield to spoiled brats like Runner. I disagree vehemently.

We frequently say vote the incumbents out....if it were so simple as simply telling them to go away...as was the case with Runner.
