At FOBP, we believe it is important for donors and recipients to know the background of FOBP personnel who are or may assist them. Andy Ramirez's biography appears below. Biographies of other FOBP personnel may be viewed by selecting them from the list on the right. Due to previous threats, we have not posted profiles of all directors/staff. Andy Ramirez, Chairman
Over the past decade, Andy Ramirez has testified before the California Legislature on many types of legislation though in recent years primarily working to defeat Sen. Gil Cedillo's driver's license for illegal aliens bills (SB-1160, AB-2895, and SB-60). In 2005, Andy was part of a delegation that successfully lobbied Governor Schwarzenegger, which resulted in his vetoing 2005's SB-60, and assisted California border residents with wrong-way drivers. Andy Ramirez remains dedicated to reforming the California Legislature, State Budget Process, and bringing accountability to California Politics. In late-1997, ANDY authored the ballot measure, The California Public Accountability (or CALPAC) Initiative. This measure was the initiative version of "The California Legislative Reform Act of 1996", introduced as SCA 31 in the Senate by then Senator Ray Haynes. These measures sought to make CA's State Government accountable to taxpayers and would have saved millions of dollars annually.
Andy
attended Cal Poly Pomona, and Mt. San Antonio College, where he studied psychology, political science,
and minored in broadcast communications. However, his degree comes from the school of hard knocks
after 18+ years of battling the debilitating disease Multiple Sclerosis.
