    State SenatorBoxer Kills #1 State Industry: Agriculture

    With a new Governor, a new State Attorney General and a Central Valley Sheriff the Federal Govern-ment may have met their match. These three individuals could turn the water back on to the CentralValley and start the Agricultural Industry back on the road to recovery. Inside sources have indicatedthat the State of California has had several legal opinions that offer the State of California the right toexercise their sovereignty in the event of a crises. Following in the footsteps and by the example ofSheriff Demeo in Nevada and Sheriff Arpaio in Arizona, the Governor of California, with the defenseof the State Attorney General and Sheriff, has the right to begin irrigation efforts immediately.The Federal Government will have no authority and no legal enforcement available to prevent theState from taking emergency action in defense of its food security and economic unemploymentcrises. Nobody doubts the economic devastation to the Central Valley. The unemployment rate in agri-culture communities ranges from 20 percent to 40 percent, while 250,000 acres of farmland are lyingfallow or dying. The region's agricultural output is expected to decline by between $1 billion and $3 billion this year over last, according to estimatesby agricultural and business groups. Whether the delta smelt is to blame lies at the heart of the debate. While some blame the fish for the severe re-ductions in pumping from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, others argue that the region's three-year drought is primarily to blame. Some environ-mentalists say the agriculture industry needs to adapt to the reduced water supply and live within its means. Scaling back the Central Valleyagriculture industry, also known as America's fruit basket, would have an economic impact that stretches beyond California. Americans undoubtedlywould find themselves buying more fruits, vegetables and nuts from foreign sources."It's certainly going to impact our food security. We know ourfarmers here produce a product that's safe and healthy; we don't know what will happen if we're importing those products," he said. Others support-ing the "Save Our Water" petition include the California Chamber of Commerce, which urged state and federal officials to protect agricultural water

    supplies "from measures that will inflict serious economic and social harm on millions of Californians." In May, the foundation filed a lawsuit against the Fish and Wildlife Service onbehalf of several Central Valley farmers challenging the agency's authority to issue regulations on behalf of the delta smelt.

    California Needs Fiorina to Win

    Nov 2nd & Help Restore America

    SENATOR BOXER

    ITS TIME TO SAYGOODBYE TO A LIFELONG POLOTICIAN

    Vote YES on

    Meg WhitmanVote NO on Brown and a Forced Obama Health Care Program.Jerry Brown Killed the 210 Freeway Project to the I-15 Freeway Corridor, & forced (30) years of I-10 Freeway traffic jams for the High Desert Com-muters. Sound familiar ? Its just been in the last few years that the 210 Freeway corridor opened and even more recently that it was completedfrom the I-15 Freeway to the San Bernardino Highway Route 30. This in turn has placed the Devore Cut-Off and construction for the I-15 and I-215interchange so far behind that it crushed the economic growth of the High Desert since the 1980s. This major impact to the outlying areas wasnever more pronounced than during the 2003 to 2006 economic growth cycle, when it crushed job development by totally grid-locking theNorth/South traffic from the Ontario basin to the High Desert. In some cases there were constant (2) hour commutes to travel (30) to (45) miles andGod forbid there was any kind of an accident, there was (30) miles of traffic at a dead stand still for (4) to (6) hours or more. Snow would close thecorridor completely. California cannot afford another failure to demonstrate a courage of vision regarding logistics and job growth. Brown has re-fused to file any form of lawsuit against the Obama Health Care Plan along with the other (36) States in the Union. Brown has done nothing to de-fend the State of California from the total collapse of the Agricultural Industry over the Water and Smelt Fish fiasco. He has refused to participate inTort Law Reform that would allow people who suffer frivolous law-suits from recovering their attorney fees as a matter of reciprocity & fairness. Tea

    Party Members, you must mobilize everyone we know to Vote for a new Governor or history will repeat itself.

    Conservatives Seen

    Cleaning Up in 2012

    Senate RacesMost polls indicate the GOP will barely miss out on regaining control of the Senate thisyear. But watch out for 2012, Politico reports. Republicans will have opportunitiesacross the country to pick up more seats, and they face fewer seats of their own to de-fend.

    Its not simply the lopsided mathematics with at least 21 Democratic seats on the

    table in 2012, including two independentswho sit with the Democrats, compared with10 Republicans. Its where the seats are lo-cated, Politico reportsThe locations are states where Democratsare in trouble: Nebraska, North Dakota,Ohio, Florida, Missouri, Virginia and NewMexico.So Republicans have nothing to worry aboutif they dont take back the Senate in Tues-days elections. Even National RepublicanSenatorial Committee Chairman JohnCornyn (pictured) has said the move for Re-publicans to take back the Senate repre-

    sents a two-cycle process.

    Elect Steve CooleyCA State Attorney General

    On June 8th 2010, Los AngelesCountys three-term District Attor-ney Steve Cooley, won the Repub-lican nomination for the office ofCalifornia Attorney General. Coo-ley won with 47% of the vote andcarried 47 out of Californias 58counties.

    A Southern California native andthe son of an FBI agent, Cooley isa career prosecutor who joined theLos Angeles District Attorneys of-fice in 1973 as a law clerk. Herose through the ranks and cur-rently leads the largest public lawoffice in the nation, overseeing anannual operating budget of more

    than $330 million while directing over 1,000 attorneys, nearly 300 investigators as well ashundreds of clerical and support personnel, who prosecute 60,000 felonies and 130,000misdemeanors annually.Transparency and trust in government is a top priority for Steve Cooley. As LA CountysChief Prosecutor, he created the Public Integrity Division to prosecute crimes committedby politicians, government officials and dishonest lawyers. His office has received numer-ous awards and commendations for their work to keep government open and accountableto the media and public at large. As Attorney General, Cooley will take that same model tothe state level.After the murder of Deputy Sheriff David March, Steve Cooley spent five years leading theinternational effort to bring justice to the families of murder victims whose killers fled to

    Mexico. He and his staff worked to change state, federal and international policy in orderto reverse a 2001 Mexican Supreme Court decision that barred the extradition of killersfacing life sentences in the United States. The Mexican Supreme Court ultimately over-turned the previous decision and allowed criminals facing life terms to be extradited.Scores of killers have been returned to the United States since and the killer of DeputyMarch is serving life without the possibility of parole in a California prison.Cooley has been a national leader in expanding the use of DNA and forensic science tosolve difficult and cold cases. With an overall conviction rate of over 95%, his office is aleader in the state for Three Strikes and death penalty convictions as well as for prosecut-ing gang-related crimes.With Californias current unemployment crisis and the exodus of businesses from thestate, Cooley believes in making job creation a top priority by reducing unreasonably bur-densome regulations while prosecuting those who prey on consumers, endanger the pub-lics health and damage our environment.

    School DistrictEric Swanson is running for the Hesperia HighSchool District, His wife Rebecca is running for

    the Hesperia Park Board. Eric made some veryimportant comments to the Tea Party Membersabout the importance of the School Board elec-tions. These elections determine the quality ofgovernment you receive and in turn the quality ofschools by which people judge your communitywhen they purchase homes. How many timeshave real estate agents had clients (wi th children)walk into the office (or call on the phone) and thefirst thing they ask is, How are the Schools.Everything else is secondary. The better theschools are the more people want to live in the

    neighborhood and or community, therefore theprices of home rise according to supply and de-mand. Less homes in a good area with greatschools drives prices up. Consequently Ericpointed out that it can drive prices down if theschool system is in poor shape, lower grade aver-ages, over encumbered school bond debt etc.,compounding the situation. Without public inter-est in buying into a community due to poorschools there is a certain economic blight suf-fered and it can be far reaching in many ways.Moral of the story is, be involved with the schooldistrict elections, know the candidates and theirqualifications. There are complicated matters thatencompass the elected seat that must be filled.Ultimately you get the government you deservebased upon the overall community involvement.

    Unanimously appointed to President of Homestead Val-ley Community Council for a second term in June of thisyear, my abilities to think out of the box have vastly ex-panded the organization's influence and communityservice achievements, all while increasing our availablefunds on hand. I will bring this proven track record of fis-cal conservatism to LVUSD.

    In 2007, The San Bernardino Sun newspaper featuredme in a front page story entitled Man Of The People,

    touting my commitment to OPEN GOVERNMENT andTRANSPARENCY. I recently organized a Brown Act andCalifornia Public Records Act Workshop for elected offi-cials and residents to promote Government By ThePeople, For the People principals. I do not condonebackroom deals and non-disclosure.

    If elected to the LVUSD board, I will work tirelessly tokeep our children in LVUSD and increase the quality oftheir education, all while exercising fiscal responsibility.

    This can and must be done.

Inan appearance before the Tea Party,Dennis claimed that the college wasonly being funded for approx. 10,000students; however, through dedicationof the Board they are currently teach-

    VICTOR VALLEY COLLEGEBOARD OF TRUSTEES CANDIDATE

    CHRIS MOLLENKAMP

    NOV 2ND VOTE

    Chris

    MollenKamp

    Citezen EditiorialThis statement is in no way intended to cast aspersions on the majority of the hard working and dedicated faculty at Victor Val-ley College (VVC). In August 2010 I met with two officers of the Victor Valley College Faculty Association (VVCFA) which is thefull-time teachers union. At that time, I was informed by them that the VVCFA union leaders would never support any boardmember who voted to lay off any employee regardless of reduction in state funding. VVC has three unions on campus and itwas quite clear that they were referring to all three since last year the State stopped the funding for a few special programs;consequently, the board (including myself) voted to lay-off the employees who staffed them. Clearly, these union officials unreal-istically expect the College Board to continue paying for jobs that the State no longer funds. Moreover, according to anotherboard candidate, who also refused to become beholden to these union leaders, he was told that they chose to support onlythose candidates who promised to vote against any layoffs and who pledged a three percent (3%) pay raise to the union mem-bership, regardless of the budget!

    Recently, I received several phone calls from teachers in the union who were upset with the union leadership. Those teachersstated that the local union officials chose the candidates without any membership input. Traditionally, the VVCFA Political ActionCommittee (PAC) has provided their members (FT-faculty) with the opportunity to interview and democratically decide upon the

    candidates to support. That process did not happen during this election! One teacher told me that the union officers basicallydictated to the teachers who they had to support. In fact, signs had been ordered for the candidates before the teachers wereeven introduced to them and $9,000 from the parent union was earmarked for these candidates without ever getting any inputfrom their own union members, the teachers. These hard working faculty members who have maintained the stability and in-tegrity of their profession throughout difficult transitions at VVC were left out of the very process that their dues support! It be-came very evident that many teachers in the union were very upset; however, it also became apparent that they are extremelyafraid of retaliation from the union leaders if they were to oppose them openly.

    There is a current Federal trend to put in place Card Check legislation that would give the union leaders across the country theright to watch their rank-in-file and non-union employees vote. This public scrutiny of union members would create an intimida-tion factor that would be so great that unions would never again lose an election. I have been privy to that intimated fear; I heardit in the voices of the union members regarding this issue at the College.

    I have always supported faculty whether or not they were union members. I believe that the faculty at V.V.C. is of the highestcaliber in the State. It is my intention to expose the backroom tactics of a couple union leaders. I do not believe that they repre-

    sent the majority of the faculty.

    Thanks, Dennis Henderson

    Pay AttentionFix Schools

    Or

    Pay The PriceI have been the point person for many years in standing up at the 10,000 NEA uniondelegation meetings. The first year I stood up to speak, my 1,200 member CA caucus(most liberal in the nation) booed me as I finished. It only made me work harder. I wasgiven the back-bone award in 2004 as well as the Medal of Freedom Award from theU.S. Senate.You can rest assured I stand up to the union and will continue to do so. Infact, they all know me by first and last name, they have heard me speak so often at themicrophones. My goal is to fix our schools. I have been a majoridea person for many years. Upon research, you may note thatmany of my campaign ideas for education are borrowed to use fortheir advancementa side-effect of running for office and the unionhaving all the money. I have come to know there is a glass ceilingin the union, and our Only way to make important changes in ourschools is to have me as their chief administrator. The currentfocus on reducing the drop-out rate is a direct result of my workingwith the president of the NEA in 2004-6. I stand for accuracy in text-

    books because I have personally observed revisionism in our text-books during my 30+ years of teaching, to inaccurate andone-sided ideological thinking in some areas. I favor developingcritical thinking, allowing students to research all sides of issuesand reach reasoned conclusions based on their research. The NEArefused to pass a resolution including academic freedom such asstudying both sides of issues. I believe it is very important for ourfreedoms to have an accurate education. We need more of a focuson content subjects rather than the unions agenda. I have always wanted a Professionalorganization rather than a union, and they have heard me say this many times. One itemto upgrade the system is to assure all teachers are high-quality teachers. One area ofimprovement needed is classroom management for some teachers who are not usinggood teaching practices. Look at: http://www.petersprocedures.com for a before andafter of one type of training to assist teachers to improve instruction. Unfortunately, thereare some teachers who rarely teach curriculum. Another possible consideration is to in-tegrate the use of kindles, a small handheld device to upload textbooks. Many youngpeople wont or forget to bring textbooks to class, but they will likely bring their kindle,since it will have all their textbooks on one device. A classroom set of textbooks would

    assure the ability for students to use hardbound textbooks as well. Los Angeles UnifiedSchool District spends from 40-60% of their budget on administration costs, when mostwell-run school districts spend about 15-20% on administration. LAUSD is so large, itsstaff would fill the Dodger Stadium. Some of their high schools have a 60-70% drop-outrate. Californians spend $1.1 billion on crime related expenses annually for costs relatedto drop-outs under age 18. They need more money in the classrooms and less spent onadministrative costs. We need more vocational education to assure our drop-outs willstay in school and be prepared for a job right out of high school. I hope that helps you un-derstand better about my plans to fix our schools. There are at least 100 items wecould easily list. Hopefully this will help you.Thank you!Best Regards,Diane Lenning, Ed.M.http://www.DianeLenningforCaSuptofPublicInstruction2010.vpweb.comhttp://www.DianeLenning.com

    Tea Party Votes

    to Replace All

    California

    Supreme Court

    JusticesOne of the most over-looked yet important votes you cast this No-

    vember will be for the California Supreme Court Candidates. On No-vember 2, 2010 you will be voting for (3) California Supreme CourtJustices; Either Yes to retain them or No to replace them.

    The California Supreme Court has enormous power .and your vote isvital in directing the future of very important decisions impacting everyCalifornian both now and for generations to come.Here is a brief analysis for reasoning the replacement of the currentCalifornia Supreme Court. California needs a new conservative ap-proach, judges who are Constitutionalists that will respect the Voters ofCalifornia and not practice their own version of Judicial Activism byover-turning the will of the people. A State and its Citizens have a rightto preserve their way of life and belief systems as shown in matters thatare brought to a vote in the creation of new legislation. Judges do notget to disregard the will of the people without risking the threat of being

    thrown from office, recalled or surrounded by Citizens in protest of saidjudicial activism.Associate Justice Carlos Moreno has been on the court since 2001, ap-pointed by former governor Gray Davis, his votes are very liberal. Hisfavorite Supreme Court Judge is liberal David Souter. Moreno was onObamas short list for replacing Souter. He was recommended by Sen-ator Dianne Feinstein. Moreno not only voted in the 4-to-3 decision tooverturn traditional marriage with Proposition 23, he was the only NOvote in the 6-to-1 decision that agreed the Proposition 8 vote was Con-stitutional. In the past, he has voted against parental consent, againstreligious rights and against business.

    The next Judge to remove from the bench is Ming William Chin was ap-pointed to the Supreme Court in 1996 by Governor Pete Wilson. Sincehe has been on the bench, he has voted to over-turn parental consent,

    consistent with his pro-abortion views. He shot down Governor Wilsonsattempt to privatize highway jobs. He did vote in favor of traditionalmarriage and voted to uphold Californias anti-affirmative action law.Despite a few good votes, he holds a liberal social stand and remainsinconsistent on business and property rights issues.

    Another Judge to replace is Tani Cantil Sakauye. California SupremeCourt Chief Justice Ron George, who spearheaded denying Californi-ans their choice in voting for traditional marriage, ran from this race inlight of his disregard for the voters. So a new candidate, Tani Cantil-Sakauye is running for Chief Justice. Governor Schwarzenegger, JerryBrown and Ron George (a former justice) as a committee, approved theappointment of Tani Cantil-Sakauye as our new California SupremeCourt Chief Justice.She is 50 years old and an active member of the Japanese United

    Methodist Church in Sacramento, a church with a liberal pastor. She isconsidered a moderate Republican, leaning liberal on social issues.The liberal Sandra Day OConner was her favorite Supreme Court

    judge. When the California Supreme Court legalized same-sex mar-riage, she performed same sex marriage. In cases brought before her,she sided with the nurses union over legitimate cost concerns with re-gard to school district positions.She did uphold Californias prohibition against affirmative action and re-ligious free speech. Her point of view is a mixed bag; she has notdemonstrated a dependable, consistent philosophical position.

    YES ON FIORINAI started my business career as a secretary, earned an MBA and became the first woman to lead a Fortune 20 com-pany, Hewlett-Packard. I understand the challenges people face and how to create jobs. America is in a crisis. Soaringfederal spending and the mushrooming federal deficit are killing jobs and stalling economic recovery. Unless reversed,our children will be burdened with unsustainable future debt. We need real job creation not failed federal policy like thestimulus. The problem is old-line politicians, who have been in office for decades, are not interested in solving prob-

    lems. They are more concerned with partisanship, ideology and the next election. I'm a strong fiscal conservative whowill fight to reduce spending, slash the federal deficit and stop the expansion of federal control over the economy. Weare at war with terrorists who seek to destroy America's way oflife. I chaired the External Advisory Board for the CIA. I'llwork for tougher U.S. policy in dealing with terrorists and oppose the administration's policy to try terrorists in civiliancourt. If you're tired of partisan politics as usual then send a political outsider like me to Washington. I will work acrossparty lines for real reform. Together we can take back our government; make it listen and work foreach of us. I'm Carly

    Fiorina. I will take a fresh, new look at solving the problems facing America. We can actually make things better for a change. I'm working hard to earn your vote.

    Congressman Buck McKeon on Out of Control Government Spending

    Not since World War II have federal deficits grown at such a rapid pace. Under the Presidents pro-posed budget this year, annual budget deficits are averaging just under $1 trillion for the next decade.That level of spending is simply not sustainable for our country.

    While the deficits forecasted are foreboding, even more alarming is the continued growth of our na-tional debt if this spending continues. Currently our national debt is $13 trillion, which is a staggeringnumber. However, our national debt will almost double and reach $25.8 trillion by 2020 under the pro-

    jected spending levels of the Administration.

    Stop out of Control Government Spending Re-Elect Buck McKeon

    A true protector of the Nevada Constitution, Sharron has fought and won judi-cial battles to protect Nevadan's constitutional rights. In 2003 while serving asthe Minority Whip in the Nevada State Assembly, Sharron challenged the Gov-ernor's proposed massive $800 million tax hike. Supported by Nevada's consti-tutional requirement that all tax increases be approved by a two-thirds super

    majority, battle lines were drawn between the Republicans in the Assembly andthe Governor. Sharron and fourteen other courageous Republicans consis-tently voted against the tax measure through the end of the regular session ofthe legislature and on through two special sessions. The Governor then suedthe legislature in Angle v Guinn to force a decision by the Nevada SupremeCourt. The Court over-ruled the two-thirds requirement which meant the taxeswere to be imposed through a simple majority rather than by two-thirds vote.Using her own funds, Sharron hired Dr. John Eastman of the Claremont Insti-tute to defend the Nevada's Constitution against this injury. Angle and Eastmantook this case to Federal District Court in Nevada, which ended up referring thecase to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, then finally to the U.S. SupremeCourt.

    McKeon Praises U.S. Troops

    as President Obama Marks

    Shift in Mission in Iraq

    Washington, D.C.U.S. Rep. Howard P. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.), the Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Com-mittee, today praised U.S. troops and diplomats for their effortsto increase security and stability in Iraq. With the President setto announce a shift in the U.S. mission in Iraq this evening,McKeon also highlighted a Congressional resolution introducedin late July to honor U.S. military and civilian personnel for thesuccess they have achieved in Iraq.

    As the President should acknowledge tonight, the success ofthe surge is undeniable, and our troops, along with their fami-lies, deserve great credit for their courage and sacrifice. Theservice and sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of U.S. forceshas been vital to ensure the protection of U.S. national interestsand the security of Iraq, said McKeon.

    Our military and civilian personnel in Iraq have answered thecall of duty. We must ensure the remaining 50,000 U.S.forcesand their civilian counterpartsadvising and assistingthe Government of Iraq and the Iraqi Security Forces have theresources, authorities, support and protection they need to finish

    the job.

    The Administration andCongress have a respon-sibility to continue to fullysupport post-combat Iraqto ensure these hard-fought gains translate intoa strategic gain in the re-gion for the UnitedStates, concluded McK-eon.

    In late July, McKeonjoined with Republican members of the House Armed ServicesCommittee to introduce H. Con. Res. 310, legislation which hon-ors the service and sacrifice of members of the United StatesArmed Forces who are serving in, or have served in, OperationIraqi Freedom.

    The resolution also:Extends the House of Representatives gratitude to all thosewithin the military and civilian departments and agencies of theUnited States Government responsible for directing the imple-mentation of the surge strategy and bringing security and sta-bility to Iraq, including General David Petraeus and GeneralRaymond Odierno; Recognizes the importance and significanceof success in Iraq;

    Commits the House of Representatives to working with Presi-dent Obama and the Administration to build on the military suc-cess in Iraq since the surge strategy was implemented; and

    Recognizes that the President and the Administration have a re-sponsibility to build a lasting strategic partnership between theUnited States and Iraq.

    Nancy Pelosi said Monday that 'we haven't really gotten the credit for what wehave done,' and the Speaker is right. However, it appears that her party will getthat credit on November 2, whichis why so many Democrats arenow jumping the liberal ship, atleast symbolically, to save theirseats. ... Mississippi DemocratGene Taylor ... [said] that he won'tsupport Mrs. Pelosi for Speaker,another revelation considering hisvote for her in 2009. 'I'm very dis-appointed in how she's veered tothe left,' Mr. Taylor said, as if Mrs.Pelosi's ideological predispositionswere ever hidden. Mr. Taylor joinsa growing list of Democrats whovoted for Mrs. Pelosi in 2009 butnow profess to be shocked by herleft turn. They include Idaho's WaltMinnick, Pennsylvania's Jason Alt-

    mire, Alabama's Bobby Bright andTexas's Chet Edwards, endangered incumbents all. Brett Carter, who is hopingto replace Tennessee Democrat Barton Gordon, has gone even further and re-quested that Mrs. Pelosi not even run again for the Speakership. 'Voters in mydistrict believe that you do not represent their values, and my opposition haslittle to offer apart from critiquing your leadership,' Mr. Carter wrote in a Sep-tember letter. ... Over in the Senate, the prize for distancing himself from hisparty goes to West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin, who ran the famous TV adfeaturing him literally putting a bullet through the 'cap and trade bill.' Apparentlythat wasn't politically far enough away from the Washington Democrats hehopes to join, so Mr. Manchin declared on Fox News Sunday that he wouldhave voted against ObamaCare too. ... Remind us again why these folks arerunning as Democrats?"

    U.S. Companies HoardingAlmost $1 Trillion Cash:NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. companies are hoarding almost $1 tril-lion in cash but are unlikely to spend on expanding their businessand hiring new employees due to continuing uncertainty about thestrength of the economy, Moody's Investors Service said on Tuesday.

    As the economy stabilizes companies are also more likely to spendon share repurchases and mergers and acquisitions, Moody's added.

    Companies cut costs, reduced investment in plants and equipmentand downsized operations in order to boost cash holdings during therecession. As the corporate bond market reopened many companiesalso boosted cash levels by selling debt and refinancing near-termdebt maturities.

    Nonfinancial U.S. companies are sitting on $943 billion of cash andshort-term investments, as of mid-year 2010, compared with $775 bil-lion at the end of 2008, Moody's said. This would be enough to covera year's worth of capital spending and dividends and still have $121billion left over, it said.

    However, "we believe companies are looking for greater certaintyabout the economy and signs of a permanent increase in sales be-fore they let go of their cash hoards, which they suffered so much tobuild," Moody's said in a report.

    "Given low demand and capacity utilization within certain industries,companies are wary of investing their cash in new capacity andadding workers, thereby doing little to abbreviate the jobless recov-ery," it added.

    Around one quarter of the cash is held overseas and is unlikely to berepatriated to the United States, Moody's said.

    Meanwhile only 20 companies hold a large portion of corporate cashbalances, with $346 billion on their balance sheets, or 37 percent ofthe total, Moody's said.

    Cisco Systems (NasdaqGS:CSCO - News) has the largest cash bal-ance, at $39.86 billion, while Microsoft (NasdaqGS:MSFT - News) issecond with $36.79 billion, Moody's said. Google (NasdaqGS:GOOG- News) has the third-largest balance with $30.06 billion, followed byOracle (NasdaqGS:ORCL - News) with $23.64 billion and Ford MotorCo (NYSE:F - News) at $21.89 billion.

    Technology companies held the most cash as a sector, at $207 bil-lion, followed by pharmaceuticals with $124 billion, energy at $105

    billion, and consumer products with $101 billion, Moody's said.
