John Cox, Wrong Person for Governor

[drpatel77]

NO COX..... he flips back & forth and untrustworthy..... VOTE FOR TRAVIS ALLEN

[rsarffs]

Travis Allen for CA governor 2018.
Travis strong on 2A rights and cutting taxes, born and raised in California.

John Cox is affiliated with Democrat George Soros. Very shady John Cox is an ex-broadcaster from Illinois.

[FUCA2AFTW]

Sadly it seems Cox is polling ahead of Allen.
I'm gonna try to find a way to help.

[ja308]

I will vote for whichever republican is ahead in the polls on Election Day.

Everyone needs to get behind the frontrunner...we don't have the numbers to split the vote.

Allen is the way to go, IMO.

[rsarffs]

I think John Cox is getting big money from Democrat sources to run as a Republican to hurt Travis Allen's run for governor. Something shady about John Cox and his sneaky democrat associates agenda, jmo.

[Hawk480]

I would prefer John Cox because he is not a career politician. Career politicians whatever they say generally have only one interest, making rich people richer.

His support of the 2A seem unambiguous.

Not for lack of trying, failed in Chicago, so now he's here...

Illinois political campaigns
In 2000, Cox ran for Congress in Illinois's 10th congressional district to replace retiring Congressman John Edward Porter, losing the Republican primary race to former Porter aide Mark Kirk.[9]

In 2002, Cox ran for U.S. Senate in Illinois on a conservative platform, aligning himself with Reagan Republicans.[10] He lost the Republican primary with 23% to Jim Durkin. Cox later served as president of the Cook County, Illinois, Republican Party.

In 2004, Cox garnered 41.43% of the votes against long-time incumbent Democrat Eugene Moore in the Cook County Recorder of Deeds race.[11] Cox said he decided to run for the office in order to eliminate the position; he saw the office as an unnecessary duplication of services that had become a "model of waste and corruption".[12]

2008 presidential campaign
On March 9, 2006, Cox announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for U.S. president in 2008, becoming the first Republican to formally enter the 2008 presidential race.[13] He dropped out of the race later that same year, but did appear on several primary ballots.

How would anyone know? The 2A isn't even mentioned anywhere in the link you posted.

That in itself tells gunnies all they need to know about where he stands on it.

This should tell anyone all they need to know though

I posted on Cox's FB page asking for his side of the story, he deleted my question and blocked me from posting or replying on his page.
This question was the first and only time I posted on his page.

Allen responded and said plainly this is what I did and why.

Cox not only refused to answer he silenced any other questions.
There is actually a FB group called 'Banned from John Cox for Governor'.

There may be something on a you tube video, but there is nothing at all about it on the link that he posted: https://johncoxforgovernor.com/my-policy-agenda/

If you mean nothing in writing, then I agree.

[Hawk480]

It's all chill. Newbie here. Just saying if Cox turns out to be the Republican front runner we should all get out and vote.

There must be a pinned thread on how to embed videos.

Right.... because Schwarzenegger worked out so great! Travis Allen is the ONLY choice. Some dude signing up for this forum just to post about John Cox is highly suspicious.

As a proud republican we really do not want anyone voting in our primary except republicans !

Yeah it takes courage to self identify as a republican !

At this point I not pick between John Cox or Travis Allen as one needs to drop out! Either will be better than newsome.

Look at the stats. Decline to state is at the same number as registered republicans now. No, the democrats have not gained numbers, they are locked in at about 46% here. The increase of declined to state is the exact same number of those that left the California republican party. The reasoning is simple, it's the same that got Trump elected, drain the swamp.

The rements of the so called California republican party seem to believe punishing ex-republicans for leaving is in their best interest. Well, all that's done is decrease their numbers even further. Now they are not allowed on the November ballot here because it is such a minority party like the Greens or Peace and Freedom.

Good job, California republicans, you have chased away most of your membership and decided to fade away into history like the Whigs. The national republican party is probably just as confused by their behavior as we are.

[EvoXguy]

I've been behind Allen for a while now and donated a couple times. Hope he at least pulls ahead of Cox.

[rsarffs]

John Cox has ties and is a board member in companies with multi-billionaire George Soros (Democrat). Suspicious! !!!

[jessdigs]

Wanted to test Kestyll's theory and see how long it takes to get banned. Since I'm not voting for him anyways,.....

Thanks for that, was voting for Travis Allen anyways, this help solidify that.

So... OP? Can we change the title of the thread? If we want any hope of getting some semblance of our rights back, we need to be united here....

I've discovered a lot about John Cox. Do your own research, but here is what I found: John Cox, 62, is a recent transplant to California from Obama’s Chicago. He will tell you he has lived in California for 10 years, but when interviewed in for an Illinois paper in October 2013, he admitted he was a part-time Californian. He was raised by a single mother who is a staunch democrat and was an avid union member. Cox is the sole shareholder and president of Property Equity Management LLC, and although a self-proclaimed advocate for the taxpayer, a large portion of his millions is made from taxpayers themselves through multiple Section 8 apartment complexes owned in other states. Through layers of different business names and partnerships, Property Equity Management is able to maximize taxpayer dollars into its account by hiking up rents and gaining access to favorable HUD re-fi loans. He claims he abhors crony capitalism, yet his business-political nexus is actually the definition. Cox touts himself as a businessman who despises politicians, but he has spent the past 20 years self-funding attempts to become a politician himself. His campaigns in Illinois for senate, congress, county clerk, and U.S.president, all ended in failure in spite of the more than $10 million dollars out of his own pocket mostly spent to promote himself on T.V. and radio. His 2008 presidential run was so insignificant he wasn't allowed into the Reagan Library Presidential Debate, but millionaire Cox would not be told no. He donned fake press-photographer credentials and sneaked in anyway. The deception was discovered while he sought press attention to bemoan not being invited. He was kicked off the Reagan Library grounds and led out. He later received zero RNC delegates. Cox did not vote for our republican nominee for president, Donald Trump, in 2016. He voted for Gary Johnson (equaled a default vote for Hillary Clinton). He did not vote at all for governor in the 2014 CA midterms. He was recently exposed for admitting he doesn't support Trump's border wall to Univision reporters while hustling Hispanic votes. When he was confronted, he claimed the reporter got it wrong. There was no retraction printed, and the story has now been scrubbed from Cox's website. His presidential voting record also includes voting for Jimmy Carter (D). Additionally, he ran to be a delegate at the Democratic National Convention. In 2016, Cox donated to the George Soros connected Mayday PAC, which spent millions attacking republicans in 2014. He made the sly donation through an old organization's name, "Change California", not through his own name. Even though at the heart of conservative principles is the belief in smaller government, not larger, Cox’s central campaign theme has been his “Neighborhood Legislature� idea. It would increase legislature’s size almost 100-fold by dividing current Assembly and Senate districts into neighborhood districts. Instead of 120 legislators, there would be 12,000. The fiscal impact is increased county election costs of tens of millions of dollars in election years. In February, 2018, his Neighborhood Legislature ballot initiative failed for the third time. While living in Chicago, John Cox bought airtime twice weekly on a Chicago radio station to host his own show called "The Progressive Conservative". A progressive conservative's philosophy is that it can unite conservatives with progressive ideas. Most recently, Cox paid Reform California $250K to buy a position as chairman on the gas tax repeal. Cox's money allowed him an association to a proposed ballot measure he did not initiate on his own. John Cox is aligned with Newsom and Brown in opposing the death penalty, and was even against the death penalty for Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. ~Compatriots, we have one chance to vote together as a large block to get the right gubernatorial candidate elected. Otherwise we all lose. John Cox is wrong for California. Please oh please do your homework. Here are my resources:

[Silent Pulse]

TLDR: http://truthaboutjohncox.com/

Travis Allen is better.

[homelessdude]

Seems like a pretty easy choice to me. T.A.

[randm]

First of all. Wrong forum. Belongs in elections forum. Second, let the thread die and title one supporting Allen

[Ishooter]

Travis Allen has been a strong voicing out supporter for the 2nd Amendment.

https://voiceofoc.org/2016/06/assemb...-restrictions/

He also had the pro gun bill AB 1394 for CCW: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/f...01720180AB1394

He also had the most recent pro gun bill AB 2860 to eliminate the handgun roster:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/f...01720180AB2860

He also voted no against many gun control bills, but I don't have time to post them all here.

He's no doubt a friendly pro gun supporter. On the other hand, I just heard Cox just talked, but no action. Why should I reach far for Cox, when I just can grab for Allen? Allen is the next governor of California.
