BIOGRAPHY

Teresa Trujillo is a woman of many talents. She is an entrepreneur who lives in Southern California with her husband Joe and son Christopher.

Her family runs a book printing business that specialized in book designs and short-run print-on-demand books using state-of-the-art techniques.

She has been an activist in her community her entire life. She was the first female student body president at her university, and she worked her first congressional campaign in 1984.

She's worked for the Orange County Register, two national magazines, and Kinko's, Inc, before starting her own company in 2000. Teresa has special knowledge of immigration, education, food safety, the environment, and business, issues. She has been active in Republican politics as a member of the Republican Women Federated, and is currently a board member for the Orange County Republican Women, Federated. Teresa blogs in an effort to bring common sense to a political process that sadly lacks the interest of the average American.

Teresa is an award winning graphic designer.

Newspapers: Philadephia Inquirer Bankruptcy

The failure of 11 months of... read more »

Holder: US a Nation of Cowards on Racial Matters

By Teresa Trujillo | 02/18/09

By Teresa Trujillo | 02/17/09

This is a reprint of a post I made last spring. Now that we've had another dismal year of legislator erformance, I think revisiting this concept is worthwhile.

I've been an employee, I've been the manager of a big department, a corporate executive, and a small business owner. I think it is time to review the pay policies for our... read more »

1,073 page bill passed without Congressmembers reading

By Teresa Trujillo | 02/15/09

How does Congress pass the HUGE stimulus package bill without reading the final version? The Democrats rushed the bill to the floor less than 12 hours after the compromise was achieved.
