Chelene Nightingale: California's Rebel

2010 candidate for California Governor Chelene Nightingale is controversial, even by California standards.

Many California voters refer to the ultra-conservative candidate as Joan of Arc, Margaret Thatcher and Wonder Woman.  Four other California gubernatorial candidates have told Californiality that Nightingale is "ahead of her time" and a tough candidate to beat.

Chelene Nightingale, the most conservative candidate for California governor, by far, wears her Constitutional message as a badge of honor.

The 2010 American Independent Party nominee for California governor is drawing supporters at a faster rate than any other gubernatorial candidate --- and from every party.  Nightingale, a former 20-year Republican, is attracting Independents, undecided voters, Democrats, and a massive number of Republicans.

Alluding to former Democrat Ronald Reagan's famous quote, Chelene Nightingale states, "I didn't leave the Republican Party; the Republican Party left me." 

Tirelessly speaking to huge rallies up and down the state of California, Nightingale loudly addresses polarizing issues like gun rights, states' rights, privacy rights, over-taxation, joblessness, illegal immigration, and the strict interpretation of The Constitution.

"The federal government, first of all, is not supposed to have power over the state and the state is not supposed to have power over individuals. Individual rights first," Nightingale declares.

On the Second Amendment, Nightingale says, "All the Founding Fathers --- it wasn't that you had the right --- they demanded that you had your guns, because they wanted you to fight tyranny.  That hasn't changed."

"I grew up in a 2A home. My father taught me how to shoot. We have a rifle. I plan on using it," Nightingale boldly states.

As governor, Chelene Nightingale would forcibly turn the Central Valley farmers' water supply back on herself. "The governor has the power to go in there and turn it on. The sheriff has the power in that district to arrest any federal agent that comes in and tries to stop him."

Nightingale is the strongest of all California governor candidates on support for Central Valley farmers, growers and fieldworkers.

Nightingale is seen by most as being so politically 'far right' that she makes her gubernatorial rivals look like pandering liberals.  Nightingale's California supporters are fiercely loyal to both the candidate and her message, with some willing to die for the cause.

Nightingale seems comfortable cast in the role of a Joan of Arc against big government neglect, taxation, tyranny and intrusion. 

"Nobody should be invading our homes, or coming into our homes unless they have some sort of cause and then they're supposed to have a warrant.  That's it. Period," said Nightingale. "If they're doing more than that, it's unconstitutional."

Nightingale, an attractive middle-aged mother, small businesswoman and former model/actress, has attracted a following of over one-million California voters who are fed up with feeling controlled and manipulated by government bureaucrats from Sacramento and Washington, DC.

Chelene Nightingale is called a "crusader" and a "heroine" by a great number of Californians, and the California candidate for governor is the most popular Tea Party speaker of 2010 in both California and Arizona.

One has to admit that Nightingale takes her mission seriously.  She means what she says and she says what she means.  The 2010 Chelene Nightingale for Governor campaign is anything but dull.
