Mike Spence Quotations

I would bet the television ads are being made. Oakland was his only hope of shedding his soft on crime image.

I worked min (minimum) wage my first job, and I got a raise when I memorized what goes on a hamburger.

I don't think that poll asked the right questions. It's clear a majority is in favor of enforcing our laws.

We're on board with the governor's reform plan, but it's hard to get people motivated when you're not fighting back. He has to step it up.

I think it is ... because the agriculture community in this country is shrinking, and their audience is growing.

I think there is a ceiling on all this, but I don't know what it is. You have those animal issues.

That was the catalyst for it. Obviously, we knew the governor differed from conservatives on some issues. But when he appointed Gray Davis' cabinet secretary as his chief of staff, the recall, the reform movement was RIP.

There are already a number of people that have already said that they are not going to vote for him, work for him. If he granted clemency, based on the evidence that has been presented, it would be a disaster.

The governor needs to articulate the principles that were behind what got him elected in the first place during the recall -- lower taxes, smaller government and illegal immigration.

We're hoping to get his attention because he's on the wrong path to get re-elected. Conservatives are going to sit on their hands come November if he doesn't get on the right track.

It wasn't like we sent out blast e-mails telling everyone about it.

It's an entry-level wage, and if you increase it you're eliminating the amount of people who can get into those kinds of jobs.

That's failing in a public school. We hope our goal is to educate Abel and the public about the minimum wage and how harmful it is.

If you ask, in general, whether people are in favor of amnesty, the polling drops.
