ICE Hiring in Big Bear
We don’t want ICE in our town! Please voice your opposition.
Bear Mountain is hosting an event for Tough Mudder Sept. 5-8.
Tough Mudder, sponsored by Bear Mountain and In ‘N Out Burger, will allow a recruitment booth for Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) an organization committed to terrorizing refugees and immigrants along with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). We are calling on others who stand with any and all immigrants here in Big Bear, San Bernardino County, and the U.S. to contact Bear Mountain to call for them to be removed from the event.
Script for calls:
Hello, [my name is _/ I’m a local, and] I’m calling about the Tough Mudder event scheduled for Sept. 5-8. It’s come to my attention that they will have a recruiting booth for Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) an organization committed to terrorizing refugees and immigrants along with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). I’m concerned about inviting such violent organizations, and possible copycats, to the mountain and am hoping that you will un-invite them to the event. Thank you for your time!

I.C.E. Out of Big Bear CA!!
Please post, share, email, protest!
Dear Tough Mudder/Visit Big Bear/Slave 2 Nothing/Bear Mountain Admin Team:
It has come to the attention of community members in Big Bear that the 2025 Tough Mudder event being hosted on September 5-7, 2025 in Big Bear Lake, California will be allowing Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) to recruit at the event.
Border Patrol agents have conducted multiple raids throughout Southern California and recently attended a press conference held by the Governor of this state in an attempt to harass and intimidate a political opponent of the current President. CBP’s actions have left scars in the community and neighbors have been left to wrestle with the fear of unlawful immigration enforcement on their way to and at work, at school, grocery store shopping, and large events.
Allowing the presence of CBP agents during this and other upcoming races is harmful and tone deaf. Spartan Race CEO and founder Joe de Serna himself has publicly lauded immigrant workers and spoken about their role in his success as an entrepreneur. CBP agents are arresting working immigrants during their raids.
Partnering with CBP to recruit agents that harm working class families is counterintuitive to the values your own CEO and founder espouses, and antithetical to the mission.
We ask that you please reconsider CBP’s participation in your event/partnering with CBP and rescind their invitation to use this community space as a recruitment ground to harm more working class families.
Sincerely,
Send to:

Jay the “jackal” ……..often refers to a person who acts like a scavenger, someone who performs menial or degrading tasks for another, or a person who collaborates in dishonest or base deeds. It can also be used to describe someone who is cunning, treacherous, or opportunistic. Essentially, it’s a term used to insult someone’s character, implying they are morally unscrupulous and willing to benefit from others’ misfortune.

Well it's starting to happen...DOGE cuts and Trump tariffs are affecting our Mountain community. We need to "educate" the Republicans THIS IS WHAT THEY VOTED for. Jobs lost, prices rising, services disappearing, small businesses closing.....much more to come....
With federal funds cut, California and SB County are going to have to make some “Sophie’s" choices. Do we feed homebound elderly with Meals on Wheels or do we keep the Senior Center open?(Cuts are already being made to the Senior Center). Do we hire more firemen or do we let Trump cut down our forests?
Have you seen Lake Arrowhead Village lately? It is a disaster! Tariffs are going to put many of the businesses that survive the remodel out of business. What is the Chamber of commerce doing? (Nothing...kissing Jay Obernolte's ego that's what!).
They thought they didn't get handouts.....they thought their American privilege made them immune...but now that their jobs, kids education, forests, Senior Center, Medicaid and 401Ks are on the chopping block they might see what their greed and privilege has bought them.
Soooo …..this is where YOU come in.....We need your experiences, we need your story, we need writers, we need leads. Please contact us if you are interested in this project. Email MountainBearDemSecretary@gmail.com

MEDICAID CUTS
California’s behemoth Medicaid program insures 14.9 million people, more than one-third of the state’s population. Republicans hold nine House seats in California and represent 2.5 million Medicaid enrollees. All nine voted to approve the House GOP budget bill at the end of February. Some of the state’s most conservative areas benefit disproportionately from Medicaid, including Rep Jay Obernolte’s dist. in San Bernardino County high desert where 48% of the population have Medicaid.

RAISE FOR THE RICH
The House voted on January 25 to pass a budget resolution that will provide the blueprint for a massive reconciliation bill. Democrats said the budget plan, passed by a 217-215 vote, cuts Medicaid to give billionaires a 4.5 Trillion $$ tax break. Calvert, Kim and Obernolte voted for the bill, while all House Democrats opposed it.
